Read your horoscope for the Sun in Capricorn
Do less with higher standards
Between December 21st and January 20th, the Sun travels the lofty peaks of Capricorn. Time to double down on our grit and determination. With a brand new year just around the corner, the sea-goat’s reflective side helps us alchemize the lessons of the past year. And adjust the goal posts for 2024 accordingly. This moment also heralds the seasonal Solstice: a time of peak darkness or light, depending on which hemisphere you live in.
Capricorn season is our bridge from one calendar year to the next. As the sign ruled by cosmos’ time-keeper, Saturn, it’s only natural that our focus dances between the past and the future. Use the coming weeks to pinpoint everything from 2023 you’d rather leave behind. Then dream of the opportunities you’d like to call in next year. Capricorn favors doing less with the highest of standards. At this time of extreme darkness or light, we need to be more tactical about the energy we expend. By breaking down your ambitions into actionable items, you’ll play the long game. And Capricorn favors steady, incremental progress over flashy leaps.
Lunations this Capricorn season
The Cancer Full Moon on December 26th is the oasis in an otherwise chaotic week of astrology (thanks partly to Mercury’s ongoing retrograde). Luna is at home in Cancer, empowering it to carry out its favorite tasks of doting and nurturing. This Moon is supported by the steady guidance of Saturn, the planet of commitment, and Jupiter, the planet of abundance, making it an invitation to build systems that will support your emotional wellbeing. Yule season can stretch us thin but this lunation brings us back to our creature comforts, bodily needs, and the feelings that fuel our goals. Allow the waves of nostalgia to move through you — and treat yourself to a weep in the bath if bygones or regrets needs dislodging.
Trining Uranus, the planet of surprise and disruption, the Capricorn New Moon on January 11th gives our New Year’s resolutions jumper cables. In all your best-laid plans, honor your individuality and unique gifts. Dare to shatter your personal glass ceilings. But always return to your persistence: even the most futuristic blueprints break down into everyday choices. To avoid burning out, focus on the task at hand and trust the future will take care of itself.
