The Winter Solstice & The Capricorn Sun ~ They’re Here! 12/21/21
The serious Capricorn Sun arrived on December 21, 2021 along with the celebrated Winter Solstice. Ambitious, efficient, grounded, practical, this Earth sign is ruled by the strict planet Saturn. But, there’s no need to feel too much of a letdown after experiencing the upbeat Sagittarius holiday revelry.
The 10th sign of the Zodiac can keep us busy networking, tuning up career moves, telling people what to do and where to go as we reach for an upgrade in status. Being the “top dog” is not a burden. Directing traffic is fun. Just don’t get so bogged down in responsibilities and being “in charge” that you become rigid and cautious. Fun can still be had!
Adding power and energy are 3 planet transits in Capricorn:
~Mercury, plant of Communication – will move into Capricorn on 12/14/21 until 1/3/22. Speech, writing etc. could be more serious and tight. Maintain sense of humor. Authority with honey, not vinegar
~Venus– Love, beauty, relationships 11/6/21 until 3/7/22 (Retrograde 12/19/21 – Direct 1/29/22) – pay attention to romantic expectations, feeling restricted.
~Pluto, planet of power & transformation – has been in Capricorn since 2008 (until 2023) – fosters deep feelings, possible changes in career direction, upheaval, regeneration.
*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.)
~ Capricorn Sun ~ December 21, 2020 – 10:59 AM EST / 7:59 AM PST ~
*Gemstone: Obsidian, Onyx *Power color: Black, Gray * Body Part: Bones
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)
Wishing the very best of the season to all of us
Happy New Year!
