The Sun enters Capricorn today, Dec 21, and stays through January 19, 2026. Highlights of Capricorn Season are the Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd and the New Moon on January 18th. Capricorn energy is reserved but ambitious, practical, and reliable. The earth signs are slow to accept or embrace change. Even mutable Virgo sees no reason to change what is already perfect. Change is inevitable, though, and Capricorn must accept the zigs and zags that lead to the summit of their personal mountain.

Saturn, the taskmaster and Capricorn’s ruler, is slowly moving out of Pisces and into a closer connection to Neptune, the master illusionist and dream-maker. Saturn in not especially comfortable in this environment, but one must endure, mustn’t one? Actually, Saturn can always use a little Neptune and vice versa. The question is, what comes out of this merger? Divine structure or a swarm of sea monsters?
Mars is in Capricorn through January 23rd. This is the new recruit at boot camp being transformed by his drill sergeant. He is forced to focus, forced to fall into line, and forced to stay the course.
Venus enters Capricorn on December 24th. Here, Venus revels in the classics, including what we call “old money.” Her tastes are impeccable and she won’t settle for anything but the best.
Mercury follows Venus into Capricorn on January 1st. This is Capricorn, the calculating thinker, keeping communications clear, concise, and irrefutable.
I hope Capricorn Season treats you kindly and leaves you with a feeling of mastery.
