A New Year begins. But will it be any different from the old?
Will 2022 be better than 2021?
What do the numbers say?
Here's what Sanjay B Jumaani, India’s leading astro-numerologist, predicts.
Number 1 (Ruled by the Sun. You are a No 1 if you are born on the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th of any month.)
Like the alpha in a wolfpack, not only are you dependable, you are also fiercely independent.
Leadership comes as a boon to you and that is no surprise. Like the Sun, you are the giver and the driving force.
In alignment with 2022 (No 6), your generosity shall take great strides. You’ll contribute to society and to your organisation with your valuable expertise.
This year shall do you good if you tone down your dominance towards your subordinates and family.
Your confidence defines you in most situations, even when you’re not up to the mark.
But remember, while confidence is a fine virtue, overconfidence is not.
This period shall herald good times for you. Professionally, you’ll see newer heights; emotionally, you’ll be calmer than usual. Isn’t that a win- win?
2023 = 7, which is very compatible with 1, and you know how time flies.
Number 2 (Ruled by the Moon. You are a No 2 if you are born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th.)
This year would be a mixed bag. However, nothing lasts forever; neither good times, nor tough.
Don't worry, remember that every dark cloud has a silver lining.
2022 could bring with itself a sense of melancholy and make you dreamy. Stay guarded and ensure you're connected to reality.
Keep in mind that while the illusion may seem beautiful, the rewards that await you belong to the real world and you have to work to earn them.
In short, this is the perfect time to analyse your dreams and do your best to realise them, so strive to do everything that’s required of you.
You could be mentally tranquil and work shall move steadily, causing no hindrance whatsoever. This will be your advantage.
On the personal front, you may find resonance and peace with your partner (if you have one) or find yourself a partner (if you are single).
Those in showbiz or entertainment may have a field year. Those working in the fashion industry, decorations, interiors or work connected to youth, beauty, etc, will see success.
Moon (No 2) and Venus (No 6), when hand-in-hand, spark magic!
This is the year to sow the seeds for a better 2023 which, in all probability, shall have a great harvest!
Number 3 (Ruled by Jupiter. You are a No 3 if you are born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th.)
This year could be one of your best in recent times, as 2022 (6) is underway.
If you aren’t yet aware, this period is very favourable for you as 3, 6 and 9 are a family of numbers.
There is no better time to make an important decision, be it with work or your personal relationships; a change of job or a pleasant leap in your career trajectory could be on the horizon.
As compared to your normally disciplined nature, this year will make you a little emotional.
Take a break and get together with your loved ones at least once every couple of months -- not only those who live close to you but also the dear ones who live far away.
Financially, a more secure chapter appears to be on the horizon. As you are a good wealth manager, the likelihood of this happening increases.
However, watch out for those who would like to jeopardise your plans and actions; if someone tries to pull you down, it only means you are above them.
Number 4 (Ruled by Uranus. You are a No 4 if you are born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st.)
Your inventiveness, eccentricity and creativity will shine this year. Indeed, your ideas and actions will pave the way to your success provided you don’t get influenced by other’s opinions.
Finances could march upwards and you’ll end up earning more this year if you focus on two things -- stay away from any kind of greed and don’t clutter your house with unnecessary things; only keep what you really require.
Irrespective of how hard you work, there may be someone at your workplace who could misconstrue your intentions. But you’re not one to easily fret.
While your fearless demeanour helps you overcome the worst of blows, your rebellious nature will help you cope with any kind of imposition.
Those who are looking for a new job must be patient. As compared to last year, 2022 would be more fruitful but 2023 would be even better, as it adds to one of your lucky numbers.
In matters of health, in order to fulfil your larger-than-life ambitions, you’ll have to stop both over-working and stressing.
I’ll give you No 4s a tip that I give my son, who is also a No 4 -- conserve your energy; spend it only where required.
Number 5 (Ruled by Mercury. You are a No 5 of you are born on the 5th, 14th or 23rd.)
You may have experienced success last year; that spell will continue this year as well.
2022 is your key to better days.
This year shall bring along more than expected. The seeds of labour sown in 2021 lead to nectar and more opportunities to better yourself in 2022.
It can be a very satisfying year on the work front but, despite the pressures, you’ll manage to make more time for your family.
You could be in an impulsive hurry and brimming with emotion but you already know that haste most often makes waste.
In any case, others may not be as quick as you so expect less to avoid disappointment.
Keep a tab on loose living and watch your diet. Try to use your communication skills, which is your USP.
Your love life can get more stable.
Those looking for a new job or a new house should push with all might; you just might achieve your goal!
Number 6 (Ruled by Venus. You are a No 6 of you are born on the 6th, 15th or 24th.)
As your fate number is same as the number of the year (2022=6), you can look forward to good times.
2022 will be a good year for most of you; you could make the best out of it by shaping your career.
It could also be a good time for those interested in a shift of residence.
Venus, which rules this year, is the planet of love so your love life could see new highs. Socially, it could be a demanding year, but don’t you just love that!
You stand to gain not only monetarily, but also emotionally.
Your passion will see no bounds during this Venus-struck year.
Loving and gentle that you already are, the influence of this period will help you win more laurels in matters of the heart.
Work wise, success is just a step away. Lead the way through your lucky year and you’ll find much desired peace.
Chances are you’ll hear good news soon; you can see yourself get the promotion or contract you have been longing for, or even a spouse or child for that matter!
However, avoid making decisions when you are either very happy or very sad as emotions can drive you crazy!
Those in the industries related to travel, hospitality, entertainment and showbiz -- viz films, music, media, interior and dress designing, restaurants, hotels, tour operators, etc -- shall do exceptionally well.
The downslide is overindulgence in the good things of life. Be careful!
All in all, you shall be at your flamboyant best, lapping up all attention that comes your way.
Number 7 (Ruled by Neptune. You are a No 7 if you are born on the 7th, 16th or 25th.)
While an emotionally volatile year is on the cards, it's not the worst of the lot.
You have probably seen better times. However, you’ll strike a chord with Nature and reveal a spiritual frame of mind; there is nothing more calming, especially during times like these.
Materialistic things could be at an arm’s distance from you and there could possibly minor expenses, so look after loose ends and don't stress.
For the time being, count yourself blessed.
Travelling for work or pleasure would be a high point this year but you may end up opening your purse strings a little more than desired. Impulsive shopping can upset the budget.
Spiritually, this will be a satisfying year. Yoga, meditation and alternate therapies could give you immense gratification.
The best that can be made of lost opportunities is a lesson or a moral. Every situation can be a new learning experience.
Those in consultancy or any kind of ‘service’ related work could get attention this year that will lead to unprecedented profits in 2023 (which adds to No 7).
Number 8 (Ruled by Saturn. You are a No 8 of you are born on the 8th, 17th or 26th.)
You have probably witnessed an overall satisfying 2021 and 2022 will prove to be your go-to year!
One, 3, 5 and 6 are the luckiest numbers for No 8s and 2021 (No 5) may have already rubbed its luck on you.
Now it’s time for 2022, which is governed by No 6; no prizes for guessing that you’re set to shine.
Try not to trust anyone blindly; be wary of people taking you for granted as you are under a comparatively more vulnerable planetary influence now.
Your resistance to people who misconstrue your intentions will ensure you hit the ball out of the park.
You may experience something great coming along at work; leave no stone unturned this year as next year may not be as rewarding.
Invest sensibly and think before acting. This year could see you make great progress, both financially and personally.
Although this is a year for you to surge ahead, be careful in your investments. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Avoid speculations.
Those looking to buy land or property could take a chance; and some of you may end up with your dream home.
Post February, you should see a positive development in your profession.
Make every moment and minute count.
Many of you looking to marry will achieve your goal.
Number 9 (Ruled by Mars. You are a No 9 if you are born on the 9th, 18th or 27th.)
Everything comes to those who wait and your time has come.
Your patience shall now bear fruit.
You are slated to do well, so make the most of the opportunities that come your way by the virtue of the family of numbers, 3-6-9.
Financially, you’re likely to gain this year. You’ll see newer heights at work and find mental solace, provided you remain patient and calm with colleagues and loved ones.
Resist temptations to argue in heated situations.
Workouts shall add to your mental well-being.
However, during May and June, be on the vigil for any accidents.
This year is the right time to mend relationships. Forgive and forget, as life is too short to keep grudges; your love life could take a front seat.
For many, this is a good year for marriage, business and job opportunities.
