Below is an excerpt from my Capricorn Season Workbook available HERE
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." —Calvin Coolidge
21st Dec - 20th Jan
The wheel of the year turns, and with the Winter Solstice on December 21, we step into Capricorn Season—a time to embrace discipline, endurance, and the quiet power of reflection. Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn invites us to assess the foundations of our lives and commit to climbing our personal mountains, no matter how daunting they may seem. From December 21 to January 20, the Sun's passage through Capricorn illuminates themes of structure, ambition, and responsibility, urging us to transform dreams into tangible results.
Capricorn Season often coincides with the end of the Gregorian calendar year, offering a natural point for introspection and forward planning. As we move through this astrological season, marked by the spiritual significance of the Winter Solstice and the archetypal energy of the Sea Goat, we’re called to balance ambition with rest, discipline with creativity, and material goals with spiritual alignment.
The Devil in the Details: Capricorn and the Tarot
Astrologically aligned with Capricorn, the Devil card in the Tarot speaks to the themes of desire, limitation, and personal empowerment. At first glance, the Devil can seem ominous, representing emotional toxicity, temptation, or self-sabotage. However, this card also reminds us that many of our restrictions are self-imposed. It’s a call to examine the chains we’ve placed upon ourselves—whether through fear, doubt, or external expectations—and to recognize our power to break free.
I offer a potent shadow work and end-of-year realignment through my guided meditation journey specifically designed for the challenges of Capricorn Season HERE.
Capricorn’s connection to this card underscores its dual nature: the drive to achieve can either liberate or confine us, depending on our relationship to ambition and success. During this season, take time to reflect on your “shadow” aspects—unacknowledged desires, habits, or fears—and integrate them into a more balanced and self-aware whole. Shadow work, journaling, or a personal Tarot reading can help uncover the unseen forces driving your choices.
Winter Solstice: The Spiritual Turning Point
Capricorn Season begins with the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This ancient marker of time has been celebrated by countless cultures, from the builders of Stonehenge to modern practitioners of Yule. The Solstice signifies a moment of pause, where darkness reaches its peak, and the promise of returning light begins to take shape.
Spiritually, the Solstice is a powerful time for intention-setting. Reflect on the past year and consider what you wish to cultivate in the coming one. Light a candle to symbolize the sun’s gradual return and write down your aspirations for growth, stability, and purpose. Capricorn’s steady, grounded energy makes this the perfect season to align your long-term goals with actionable steps, turning resolutions into reality.
December and January Astrology: Key Transits to Navigate
As we stride through December and into January, the astrological tapestry weaves together a narrative of reflection, recalibration, and renewal. Capricorn season dominates late December and much of January, anchoring us in the practicality of the Sea Goat’s realm. It’s a time for measured ambitions and deliberate planning, yet the skies bring much more than just Capricorn’s stoic energy to our plates.
Following the Full Moon in Gemini on December 15, Mercury goes direct, emerging from post-retrograde shadow until the beginning of January, so some caution in communications, travel planning is still needed. Venus continues its residency in Aquarius, infusing relationships, aesthetics, and values with a touch of intellectual detachment and future-focused ideals. Venus in Aquarius is not about the grand romantic gestures of Capricorn’s stoic devotion; instead, it celebrates collective love, unconventional beauty, and relationships that thrive on shared visions of the future. If your connections aren’t aligning with your ideals or sense of freedom, Venus in Aquarius will make that clear.
Mars Retrograde: Power Struggles and Emotional Depth
Mars continues its retrograde journey, reflecting on the interplay between personal pride and collective progress. On January 2, 2025, Mars at 1°08’ Leo opposes Pluto at 1°08’ Aquarius, a powerful aspect that brings themes of dominance, control, and transformation into sharp focus. This is a moment of reckoning, where hidden tensions—be they personal, societal, or geopolitical—reach a breaking point. It’s a time to confront what lies beneath the surface, especially in areas where ego battles and power dynamics have created discord.
By January 6, 2025, Mars retrogrades back into Cancer, a profound shift from fiery, expressive Leo to the emotionally resonant waters of Cancer. In Cancer, Mars redirects its energy inward, encouraging us to focus on emotional security, home, and familial bonds. The retrograde motion tempers Mars’ usual assertiveness, asking us to be more introspective about our actions and their impact on our emotional and domestic lives. Mars in Cancer challenges us to find courage not in outward battles but in nurturing and protecting what truly matters.
Lunar Nodes Shift into Pisces and Virgo
Another major transition occurs on January 11, 2025, when the lunar nodes move into Pisces (North Node) and Virgo (South Node). This shift signals a collective redirection toward compassion, spirituality, and the dissolution of rigid structures (Pisces), while asking us to release perfectionism and hyper-practicality (Virgo).
The North Node in Pisces invites us to embrace imagination, empathy, and surrender. It’s about trusting the flow of life and finding unity in diversity, urging us to transcend boundaries and see the interconnectedness of all things. Meanwhile, the South Node in Virgo highlights the habits and routines we’ve outgrown, such as excessive nitpicking, rigid control, and over-reliance on material structures. This nodal axis shift suggests a period of collective healing and creative reinvention, especially as Saturn’s ongoing transit in Pisces deepens our engagement with spiritual and emotional truths.
As these energies unfold, December and January invite us to balance reflection with forward momentum. Be ready to reassess, recalibrate, and build something meaningful, all while staying open to the surprising and unconventional currents that Venus in Aquarius continues to deliver. The cosmos asks us to grow with intention and to embrace community, innovation, and heartfelt goals for the months ahead.
Conclusion: Embrace the Climb
Capricorn Season teaches us that success isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about showing up consistently and persevering, even when the journey feels uphill. As the Sea Goat ascends the mountain, so too can we reach new heights by staying grounded, focused, and mindful of our intentions.
To make the most of this season, integrate discipline with self-care. Create daily rituals that support your goals, whether through mindful planning, reflection, or practical steps. Remember that rest and renewal are essential to sustained progress.
Capricorn Season Guidance for Each Zodiac Sign
Aries:
This season pushes you to transform your natural drive into long-term achievements. Capricorn’s influence challenges you to slow down, focus, and adopt a more disciplined approach to your career and ambitions. While your fiery nature prefers action, this is a time to balance bold moves with careful planning and strategy. Jupiter and Saturn’s dynamic interplay may highlight areas where you need to refine your vision and overcome obstacles.
- Advice: Set measurable goals that align with your larger aspirations. Break down your ambitions into smaller, achievable steps to maintain momentum while avoiding burnout. Reflect on where patience and perseverance can amplify your success.

Gemini:
Capricorn Season brings a time of deep transformation in areas of shared resources and inner healing. Jupiter's influence asks you to reconsider how you approach partnerships, both personal and financial. This may be a period of releasing old financial strategies or redefining the ways in which you connect with others on a deep, intimate level. The energy of this season encourages letting go of outdated attachments, making space for growth and renewal.
- Advice: Review your emotional and financial investments, and let go of what no longer serves your highest good. Are there relationships or financial habits that you’ve outgrown? Now is the time to release them.

Home and family matters are highlighted during Capricorn Season. This is a time for grounding your personal life, creating stability, and fostering a sense of security within your home.
