Capricorn Season 🐐 Winter Solstice 2023
Dec 21, 2023 (Winter Solstice) – Jan 20, 2023
Your sun sign is just one planet in your star soup. Curious about the rest? Contact me for a natal chart reading.
In the final quadrant of the zodiac, we arrive now at Capricorn the Sea Goat. As the last earth sign in the wheel, Capricorn represents culmination of everything we’ve been working on since the spring equinox. It’s time to review, make modifications, then forge ahead with more focus and clarity.
Capricorns, as to your ridiculously high standards: relax. Free yourself from your own tethers and binds. Silence the inner critic. You guys are fucking awesome. Stop stressing so much. It’s all good, I promise.
Capricorn season coincides with all kinds of holidays and traditions around the world. The most emblematic is the Winter Solstice. This is Capricorn’s debut, after all. Think about what it means, the fact that Capricorn arrives on the darkest night of the year. This is not the darkness of Scorpio, not the darkness of autumn cometh or Halloween. This darkness is not seductive or intimidating. The earth goes to sleep; light slips through our fingers; the cold sets in. How incredible that sleep and stillness hold so much power. This is the seed-like nature of Capricorn, vibrating with life even while deep in hibernation.
The sea-goat moves at one of two speeds: insanity or total stillness. If you, like me, have lots of earth energy in your chart, overcoming inertia feels pretty impossible at this time of year. Please sleep. Spend time in the sun, if you can find any. Feeling overwhelmed or depressed? Add ginger, citrus, cinnamon, hot chilies, and other spices to your diet. These will help keep your energy elevated. Take hot baths. Pick up a book. All creative work encouraged per usual, but I know how hard it is to create when you’re not feeling inspired.
Capricorn is associated with aspects of life like work and business, but the most important work that Capricorn performs is bringing the light back. Capricorn is so driven that he doesn’t even notice the light returning by his very own hand; he just keeps moiling away with impressive force.
Heads up: Mercury Retrograde is already in full swing and will be wreaking havoc on all of our best-laid plans until Jan 1.
Dec 21 (Winter Solstice, 9:27 pm CDT): This year the Winter Solstice/1st day of Capricorn coincides with a sharp opposition between Venus in Scorpio and Uranus Retrograde in Taurus. Relationships impacted negatively. Expect curveballs. Frustration, chaos, anxiety, control freak tendencies. The waves are choppy but we have to go with the flow to save our energy and make it out unscathed.
Dec 22: Sun conjunct Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn. In normal times a conjunction between sun & Mercury is a fabulous thing. In retrograde times, it just increases the malfunction. Major internal conflicts surfacing. We stop to ask…wtf am I doing with my life? Take precautions to diminish anxiety/stress.
Dec 26: Full Moon in Cancer 🦀
Dec 27: Sun trine Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus (Jupiter Retrograde ends Dec 30). Good flow of energy, happy vibes. Earth connection. Abundance. Moving through issues slowly & surely.
🎉✨ Jan 1: Happy New Year 2024 + last day of Mercury Retrograde!!! 🎉✨
Jan 3: Quarter Moon in Libra 🌗⚖
Jan 9: Sun trine Uranus Retrograde in Taurus. Warm & cheerful; social vibes; pleasantly unexpected.
Jan 11: New Moon in Capricorn 🌑🐐
Jan 17: Quarter Moon in Aries 🌓🐑
Jan 20: Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn + 1st day of Aquarius Season + Pluto returns to Aquarius. BOOM BOOM BOOM HOLY SHIITTTT WHAT A DAY! The Sun-Pluto conjunction alone is very intense on a physical & emotional level. Rebirth of mind/body/spirit. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Aquarius is coming in HOT.
On the winter solstice, take a moment to look up at the sky and welcome the light back. Light up the solstice with Capricorn Yoga. In meditation, focus on the root chakra.
