Did you know that each year has its own tarot card with themes that affect the collective both on a grand and personal scale? This is based on numerology and the year 2022 (2+0+2+2) breaks down to 6: The Lovers. (To see what your personal year card and message is, click here!)

So what does this mean for you? 2022 will be a year of prioritizing self-love and making choices with your heart. The Lovers is a card of making important decisions, choosing through love, creating passionate connections, and being able to grasp where you can let more love into your life.

On a grander scale, we could see governments and institutions facing choices that could change the course of what they represent. Collectively we may be pulled along the path of choices that people in power make.

This year, love will be on the mind in full force. Relationships may dissolve or strengthen under this Lovers energy. People in partnerships could spend more of their energy realizing what it is they truly want, and their heart may take them away from their current relationship. On the flip side, this could lead to important discussions about how partners can work together to bring more love and understanding into their relationship. Approach these conversations and decisions with love, honesty, and an open mind.

For singles, this year will about defining what it is you want out of love and a relationship, what love truly means to you, and what love you have to offer. This will allow the Law of Attraction to take over to align you with the love that is emitting from your heart.

Whether you’re in a relationship or not, or somewhere in-between, it is important to take time to listen to your heart. Where is it calling you? Are your wants and needs being met? Where can you bring more self-love into your life? Where can you find love outside of yourself or your relationships, such as hobbies, interests, or new friendships? Remember that we are all worthy of loving, and being loved. You are always lovable, no matter what you are going through. When in doubt, soften your heart and surround yourself with music, food, books, pets, or any comforts that can keep your heart energy flowing.

In your career, school, and activities, this Lovers energy will be prompting you to ask yourself if you are aligned with your heart, and if not what changes can you make. This may or may not be as dramatic as changing jobs or even careers, but there are also more subtle ways you can bring more love into your current work situation. Ask yourself, when have you been at your happiest at your job? If it’s not now, what has changed since then? What adjustments can you make to bring some of that energy into your life, whether it’s specific tasks, the sense of something new, or the opportunity to take on new things, or take on leadership roles?  

To help connect with The Lovers, throughout the year ask yourself:

Are you being emotionally honest with yourself and your relationships? 

Where can you bring more love into your life? 

How can you bring more love into your decision-making? 

What do you desire from a soulmate? And how can you embody this energy yourself?

Carry around rose quartz, aventurine, and wear green or pink on days you feel you need an extra love boost. Meditate with your palm on your heart, envisioning a bright light streaming from your heart to the universe and to the collective as we all navigate the Lovers energy this year. Trust that you are not alone.
