On the 21st December the Sun left the optimistic, fun loving Sagittarius and stepped into serious and ambitious Capricorn. This also marks the day of the Summer Solstice on the Southern Hemisphere and the Winter Solstice here, in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the shortest day of the year, but the good news is that from now onwards we get more and more sunlight every day.
All cardinal signs have tremendous energy to kick off projects or to get into action, but Capricorn, as an Earth sign also has the determination to follow through till tangible results are achieved.
Capricorn’s ruling planet is Saturn which is associated with authority, maturity, tradition, boundaries, patience and order. So people with planets (especially Sun, Moon or Ascendant) in Capricorn are usually serious, responsible and hard-working and prefer to fit into a hierarchy by following the rules. They have a strategic mindset, they are excellent in defining goals, developing plans and putting all their energy into the realization of that plan. They can endure any kind of difficulties due to high tolerance to deprivation and pain, so nothing can come between a Capricorn and its goal. Capricorn people have high chances of significant success in big organizations like governments, multinational companies and academia.
Their seriousness sometimes can become too much as it is carried over from professional life to all aspects of their life. They can become obsessive with regards to a goal or a status they want to achieve and develop a ruthless determination. Their path to the top can be a very lonely one as they can lose sight of people around them in the process. People with strong Capricorn energy might have issues with recognizing, moreover expressing, their own (or others’) feelings, therefore they can come across as cold and calcuating. The best way to get into the heart of a Capricorn is to earn his respect.
Capricorn needs to learn not to take everything so seriously and to rest and have fun sometimes. They also need to learn to connect to their emotions or at least recognize them. If they try to banish emotions from their life, they often attract external events or situations where they are forced to deal with (someone else’s) emotions.
This is an excellent time for all of us to bring some Capricornian energy into our life: to look back at our last year and appreciate how far we got and to set up ambitious but realistic goals and plans for the next year. First time in a long time I also plan to do that with the help of www.yearcompass.com where you can download a booklet on your chosen language that helps your self-reflection. Enjoy!
