Read your horoscope for the Sun in Capricorn
Let’s cut to the chase: It’s Capricorn season
From December 21st, 2024, to January 19th, 2025, the Sun moves through Capricorn. ’Tis the season to celebrate what’s sturdy and timeless in our lives. This Saturn-ruled sign is in it for the long haul; instead of latching on to quick fixes or flashy trends, Capricorn relishes anything that has “good bones.” Think: the satisfaction of a perfectly constructed novel, a classically tailored sweater, or a well-crafted to-do list.
Solid, structurally sound foundations delight this cardinal earth sign because they give it something substantial to build on — and build it does. The rock-scaling goat of the zodiac gallops toward the steep, snow-capped peaks of a project rather than the easy-peasy slopes. It’s driven to work hard for accomplishments that will still matter fifty years from now, without expecting social media “likes” or congratulatory pats on its horned head.
This industrious sign sometimes gets a reputation for being a grinch, but it’s always graceful, and it has a gentle side. Capricorn season shuffles in softly on the December Solstice, and it’s wise to prioritize time for rest and deep reflection around this moment. Go inward and discern what’s most important for you to strive toward over the coming year. If you’re not yet sure what that is, some lunar assistance is on the way.
New Moon in Capricorn: Make yourself proud
On December 30th, the New Moon in Capricorn occurs. Treat this lunation like a serious business meeting with the cosmos about where you’re headed and why. Identifying your legacy goals, outlining a 5-year plan, or committing to finishing your latest sculpture might seem overwhelming. But if your aims are aligned with your integrity, it can be a relief to nail down the practical details. For best results, chisel big endeavors into small, doable steps. Strategic micro-moves accumulate into monumental outcomes when you persevere. If your calendar is already stuffed with agenda items but they’re all ringing hollow, reassess your motivations. Sometimes we internalize expectations from our society, our families, or our own inner overachievers. Cut yourself loose from these pressures, and set intentions to make yourself proud. Working out what impresses you is a remarkable feat in itself.
Full Moon in Cancer: Rest for success
Next, the Full Moon in Cancer lights up the sky on January 13th. This Full Moon is a galvanizing one, encouraging us to draft action plans for the aspirations that feel emotionally resonant — and realistic. But we don’t have to make moves just yet. Lunations in this cardinal water sign illuminate where we yearn for nourishment and what specific nutrients we require. Honoring our physical, emotional, and mental needs at this moment is essential for gestating our ideas and bringing them out into the world.
When we’re well taken care of, our instincts beep online, and our imaginations can run wild. All your efforts — especially those related to healing, caregiving, housekeeping, or ancestry — will come into sharper focus once you fill your own cup. So articulate your wishes and advocate for what will sustain you while you steadily build your greater projects. Whether you’re craving compassionate words from a friend, a hot mug of tea, or more throw pillows, take this opportunity to ask for it, kindly and directly. And get cozy under your softest blankets as you prepare to follow through on your ambitions.
