With Venus in Sagittarius since mid-November, it is true that the heart has finally been able to breathe and move on. Sagittarian times unfold quickly. It is wise to remember that Sagittarius belongs to the fire element and shares the same traits as fiery brothers Aries and Leo: impatience, restlessness, impulsiveness. When life feels like too much, Sagittarius quickly boils over – or looks the other way.

I am relieved to say that Venus in Capricorn is going to help us ground down and connect to the earth element now. This is a wonderful precursor to Capricorn Season, beginning as always on the Winter Solstice. Capricorn encourages us to be thoughtful and pragmatic. The scattered, unpredictable feeling of Sagittarius will fade into a more solid, predictable rhythm, at least in our professional and social lives. Capricorn, like ruler Saturn, operates by way of contraction and conservation. The sea-goat is a quiet, serious, yet generous and dependable creature.

When Venus, planet of interpersonal relations, enters Capricorn, it’s time to revamp our reputation. Consider your social life, work life, and how/where they intersect. Try networking, consider new career pathways. This is a great time to update your resume.

Venus in Capricorn will help us reincorporate more structure and routine into our daily lives, similar to the effects of earth cousins Taurus or Virgo. Capricorn cannot thrive in chaos. For her, work and play are forever intertwined. Capricorn teaches the value of standards and worthy aspirations. Having said that, the sturdy sea-goat could certainly benefit from being a bit more flexible. Capricorn is steadfast, clearheaded, cautious, reserved.

Just before Venus transitions to Capricorn on Dec 9, Venus in Sagittarius forms a last-minute square to Jupiter in Pisces. Prepare for physical discomfort and exhaustion. Energy waxes and wanes unpredictably here.

Dec 20: Jupiter re-enters Aries 🔥✨

Dec 21: Winter Solstice / 1st day of Capricorn Season! ❄️🌲🐐

Dec 22: Venus trine Uranus Retrograde in Taurus. You may be feeling tired or defeated, unsure of which direction to take. Body aches common. Avoid screens.

Dec 29: Mercury Retrograde begins + Venus conjunct Mercury + Quarter Moon in Aries. It’s going to be a super whacky day, expect the unexpected.

Dec 31 (New Year’s Eve): Venus conjunct powerful Pluto. Love, pain, and everything in between. Take deep breaths and let your body guide your decisions. If we listen closely, there is a rhythm deep within. What a wonderful way to kick off 2023 <3 + Moon in Taurus!!
