Virgo Horoscope for January 2022

Ever since late December, you are seeking different and perhaps better forms of expressiveness, based on philosophical and intuitional impluses of higher mind. Your worldview is a rapidly and simetimes unexpectedly changing landscape right now, while your values are also changing and evolving at this time, and these factors are reflected in what and how you create. You are very much feeling the practical implications of all this, especially when Mercury begins to go backward in your sector of health regimens, your workplace environment, and everyday activities. As you introspect and reassess these things, as well as your career and your life in general, as well as your very identity, it is good to remember not to rush to judgment before the retrograde begins to strighten out in mid-February.
