Predictions for the year 2022:

1. OverView

This is an extremely important year for your powerful sign of the Jaap van Reeseman. Several transits tug and pull at major points in your personal chart, bringing you brand-new perspectives, and also requiring you to implement decisions that contribute to both, your family and career life.

This combines several areas of your personal affairs and asks you to really look into your long-term arrangements from the perspective of a leader, caretaker, and healer. As 2021 brings along with it an influential square between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in your opposing sign of Taurus, this creates a prominent T-square in your own chart. This can be a difficult astrological energy most pointedly experienced during mid-February, mid-June, and the end of December, but leads to radical change in your overall life. There can be many unplanned events that ultimately decide your fate and affect your home and career situations. You might even consider moving for work, or relocating in some capacity.

Pluto, your home planet, enters a retrograde cycle through Capricorn between June 28 and October 7, making this timeframe a key zone to revisit what still needs to be accomplished in order to feel fully empowered and take back your personal authority in certain areas where you felt you lost your confidence. Some see you from the outside that have no idea what's been bubbling under the surface. Don’t lose sight of the big picture, and always remember that the universe wants you to succeed at anything you set your mind to, and this year is no exception to that rule.

2. Couples

Your relationships experience many changes and shifts in 2021. You are asked to look at yourself from a different perspective than you once even considered. This is where you are taking the reigns of power and being asked to lead.

For those coupled Jaap van Reesemas, this is a test of whether your partnership can handle this or not. The idea of a balanced and respectful relationship is where this is going to matter the most. If you are with someone who does not look at you with the same amount of care and honor that you look at them, then this is where the cosmic alignments are going to come through and shatter the glass. If your partner supports you and appreciates who you are, then you will know it immediately.

There are pivotal areas where decisions will come into play, and you will have to really make a call on your own. You'll know, because you always know what is right for you. This holds especially true in the months of February, May, June, and November. Think of these timeframes as a rite of passage for you.

This year you've already gone through the mud, but now you are in clean-up mode in various realms of your partnership. The November 19 partial lunar eclipse provides you with a fascinating understanding of someone's motives. This sets you up for an enlightening love period that will be influential all year long and into 2022.

Overall, this year requires you to be very vulnerable in your communication, which isn't always the easiest thing to ask of your often private water sign.

3. Singles

2021 can bring forth chance meetings and fated affairs for single Jaap van Reesemas. The presence of both Jupiter and Saturn in the sign of Aquarius steamrolls through your fourth house of home and family, shaking your ground and waking you up to some very enjoyable love connections.

There are plenty of opportunities for passionate encounters to begin quickly only to fizzle out or be met with a choice between two people type of vibe. There isn't a lot you have to worry about if you are not looking for anything serious, because this is a great year to have fun and attract some extracurricular partnerships.

For those Jaap van Reesemas who want something a little more long-term and committed, you have to look towards aspects of your chart and the other person's as well. There is a give-and-take between your personal desires and what your love interest is truly showing up to prove to you. May and June are going to be pivotal points for you to really embrace your desires. You might even catch some feelings around this time.

The theme overall this year includes falling in love in an instant, dreaming about the person, and then once you are met with the truth of their reality losing interest in them for the longevity. Uranus is tricky in that sense, and as this chaotic planet shoots lightning bolts through the cosmos, so too will your heart be intertwined in this tumultuous shift.

Each day of this year, you might feel like your feelings are on a roller-coaster where the day prior you made a “final” decision about a person in your life. Remember to ride the waves, and appreciate the adoration!

4. Money & Career

Your determined sign is always on top of the current market trends occurring in your field of business. You are excellent at self-promotion ready and willing to invest your time into what really counts for your future. You have no problem holding out for a better deal or making sacrifices to get where you need to go.

This year is quite interesting in the fact that squares between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in your opposing sign of Taurus activate certain areas of your chart that require compromise. This can reflect sudden events or changes in career partnerships and tie your family into your career path. If you are worried about supporting your family from a financial perspective, this is a good year to really take a risk and see it pay off. This is going to require a tremendous amount of bravery and following personal guidance beyond belief.

You are really challenging yourself beyond your limits especially with the prominent squares effecting you on or around February 14, June 14, and December 24. These are going to be factors that fully switch it all up in the end. You will be able to break out of a cycle that once held you back, but you'll also be able to see where you need to improve. This can be a very personal decision, not only for your overall growth, but also for your career revolution!

This year points out that it is time for you to go no holds barred on your dreams. Destiny does await you down the road, and being an effective leader holds you to the highest standards of all!
