Capricorn season begins on December 21st, 3:20 am CT, and lasts until January 19th when Aquarius will take the stage.
During Capricorn season, we are preserving energy and building foundations. Days finally started to get longer, but winter is still gripping, and the nights sometimes seem endless, especially far north in the northern hemisphere.
In the next season, Aquarius, we will use what we created to help others and form communities. For now, let's look at the gifts to carry over from Sagittarius and the ones that emerge in Capricorn.
The zodiac is cyclical, if we do necessary spiritual work in one season, we naturally progress into the other.
KEEP FROM SAGITTARIUS
- Sense of presence
- Curiosity for everything
- Vision of your higher self
CREATE IN CAPRICORN
- Common-sense approach
- Good judgment

Capricorn Season for You
When reading the horoscopes we prepared for you, make sure to look at your rising sign.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Dear Aries, Capricorn season grounds your fiery energy, although it can sometimes feel like your flames are muffled instead of simply calmer. There are many things you wish to say but can't for peace, and there are many things your ambitious nature wishes to change, but you feel now isn't the right time. And you are right, now is the time to count your wins and losses, and feed the fires of the future. Spend a lot of time learning and reflecting in peace without any distractions. The Capricorn New Moon on December 30th will inspire some professional breakthroughs, so if you have to set goals, that would be a perfect time. From January 3rd Mars will oppose Pluto, and while this energy will cause many power struggles, it should affect you positively. Expect to feel inspired, but also, make a purposeful decision to stay composed, otherwise the energy of those around you can carry you in the wrong direction. Cancer Full Moon on January 13th will illuminate your emotional needs, be ready to pivot where you put your attention around that time. Overall, expect an insightful and game-changing Capricorn Season.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Dear Taurus, Capricorn season encourages you to embrace the slow and steady growth you’re so familiar with. For the last month, you probably felt like a cycle of your life came to an end and a new one began. And you felt right because Pluto entered Aquarius and now it squares your sign. This transformation will unfold further as you continue to discover your passions and through them your depth. With you, growth never ends although there might be some setbacks tied to the lack of time. Mostly because the Jupiter-Saturn square on December 24th may bring tension between your long-term goals and current limitations. And thus the disappearance of some hobbies and people you would love to keep. But know that many more will walk in your life during this period as well. On January 18th, Venus conjunct Saturn strengthens meaningful connections, allowing you to establish trust and security in relationships. For you, this Capricorn season is about steering your transformation in an evermore exciting direction.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Dear Gemini, during Capricorn season you will feel as if your mind was set free and you see the world from a new perspective.

The festive season might mean more than just meeting people and chatting away this time around. Don't be surprised if make some tough decisions right now that will shake things up in your life. This is especially valid around Capricorn New Moon on December 30th. Setting clear goals for managing your assets wisely, finances and joint venture will be a big theme of this season for you.

Allow Capricorn’s steady energy to ground your adaptability into practical achievements.

Don't be afraid to say "no" when it's needed, you are not missing any opportunities by protecting your space. Cancer Full Moon on January 13th is an important date for you as it will amplify everyone's emotional needs, but for you, it will also be the time they get realized in a way that is best for you.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Dear Leo, Capricorn season will put your discipline to the test. It will be a bit harder to take care of your own needs at this time, but luckily your natural confidence won't suffer. This theme will be further emphasized as your boundaries get tested with new people entering your life. While this will force you to restructure your daily habits and establish a completely difference routine, be patient with yourself; otherwise you might start resenting those new people who just walked in. The Capricorn New Moon on December 30th will provide a unique opportunity to adjust your new routine to your needs, so try not to miss it. On January 2nd, Venus enters Pisces, softening your approach to intimacy and inviting deeper connections with others.

Capricornian Teachings
Capricorn represents the ascent to the top of the mountain. Its mission is to confront and overcome all obstacles using determination and discipline. Step by step, brick by brick, penny by penny - this is the Capricorn's way. The greater plan should always be present so the steps we take have a purpose. Cherish every lesson, every opportunity, and every little bit of time you have. Only with the power of gratitude, the Capricornian 'climb' can move forward. Only by being thankful, does the sense of purpose overwhelm all actions and bring goals into reality.
Capricorn focuses on abundance, instead of lack. It focuses on going forward, instead of looking back.
