Side By Side! The Winter Solstice & The Capricorn Sun
On Thursday December 21, 2023, Winter arrives in the Northern Hemisphere – the “Winter Solstice”, the shortest day of the year. Always in tandem is the careful, capable & career centered Capricorn Sun. Although Earth sign Capricorn is very different from the previous sign, upbeat Sagittarius, spirits don’t have to deflate after all of the joyous seasonal happenings you created.
The 10th sign of the Zodiac is ruled by stern Saturn. It can keep us busy networking, organizing, tuning up career and financial situations and being in charge. Directing traffic is fun. Being “Top Dog” is not a trial or burden. Just don’t get so bogged down with ambition & responsibilities that you become rigid or cautious. Fun can still be had!
~Pluto, planet of power & transformation, will continue transiting Capricorn. It has been adding its energy since 2008 (moves into Aquarius on 1/21/24). It can foster deep feelings along with possible changes in career direction, upheaval, & renewal / regeneration.
~ Capricorn Sun ~ December 21, 2023 – 10:27PM EST / 7:27PM PST ~
*Gemstone: Obsidian, Onyx *Power color: Black, Gray * Body Part: Bones
*How you experience transiting planet power depends on where Capricorn appears in your birth chart, – its traits will be intensified in that section of life. (And of course, a Capricorn Sun or Rising sign is especially energized.)
Wishing For Peace and the very Best of the season for all of us
Happy New Year!
FYI: “The Winter Solstice occurs exactly when the Earth’s axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26′. Though the winter solstice lasts only a moment in time, the term is also a turning point to midwinter or the first day of winter…The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days.” (per Wikipedia)
