Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
As the month starts, you may be grappling with pressing life questions that feel urgent to resolve. Whether it’s about your career, relationships, or long-term plans, you may want to map out your path forward. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to have all the answers right now. Retrograde energy dominates December, encouraging patience, reflection, and careful planning. Mercury is retrograde until December 15, and Mars goes retrograde from December 6-February 23. These planets suggest you’re in an in-between phase and incubating ideas.
Communication could feel strained, so tread carefully in conversations, especially with loved ones. Misunderstandings are common during retrogrades, but they can also bring opportunities for deeper connection and resolution if approached with patience and care.
With Pluto finally out of your sign, you’re free to explore new motivations. Are you pursuing goals that align with your heart, or are you chasing something out of habit or expectation? Allow this retrograde period to recalibrate your priorities.
The energy shifts on December 21 as the Sun moves into your sign, marking the start of Capricorn season. This is your moment to shine! While the earlier part of the month is about reflection, the latter half offers a renewed sense of focus and purpose.
The Capricorn New Moon on December 30 is a powerful time to set intentions for the year ahead. Use this lunation to clarify your goals and lay the foundation for the life you want to build in 2025. As a Capricorn, you know the value of hard work and patience, and this New Moon aligns perfectly with your natural ability to plan and execute.
