Sun in Capricorn
December 22-January 19
Sleep is the word, is the word, is the word, it's a move, it's got meaning….Sleep is the way we are feeling. Capricorn season is all about slow and steady. The more rested we are, the more strategic we can be. Thus rest is the ultimate sport while the sun is in the sign of the sea goat.
How is your sleep hygiene? What's your bedtime routine? Focus on that. Winter is for night, for the depth of the dark and nurturing the light within. We need sleep for that. An Earth sign, Capricorn helps us find nourishment. Sun in Capricorn is a season of dark and quiet, of the internal. It leads us out of autumn and into winter, where we hibernate before spring. Connect to your inner wisdom. We just honored the Solstice. Poised between endings and beginnings, Capricorn magnifies that energy. It’s time to digest the past year -- physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Reflect on the mountains you've climbed and are climbing, and recommit to the path. What is your map for the upcoming year? Not your list of resolutions, but your well-thought out plans and long-term vision for your life? We are called to align with focus and ambition.
Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is the keeper of time and karma, thus discipline is the theme. But beware the call to over-correct. Now is for boundaries, strategy, discipleship. Think: practical magic. Clarify your desires to realize your dreams. Capricorn = high-end. Capricorn season is a cosmic wake-up call to level up. Sun in Capricorn is determined and goal-focused. It's time to build—to mind map and get it together. Preparation, practice, power. In times of turmoil, hold on and hold steady. Input = passion, output = purpose. Not everything needs to be fixed, re-engineered, hacked, or elevated.
Capricorn energy is yin. On the same axis as Cancer, Capricorn is about the balance between masculine and feminine. A combination of soul wisdom, inner vision, strategy, AND the ability to walk it out.
The season eases into gear this week with a new moon in Capricorn on the 30th and Venus moving into Pisces—the sign of her exaltation—on January 2. On Sunday, December 29 (today) - Chiron goes direct in Aries. Chiron = medicine for our wounds. We can be our own best teachers — trust our power and inner landscapes. A profound transformation moves from internal reflection (during the past months of its retrograde) to external manifestation (direct). “Courage isn't about perfection but about continuous becoming and renewed creation.” Step into your power. A great time of healing is underfoot.
