In the midst of the holiday season, the Capricorn era begins.
Sun entering Capricorn, December 23
The tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn is earthy, frugal, headstrong and persevering. Ruled by Saturn, the great Teacher of the zodiac, Capricorn takes everything we’ve learned this year and compiles it into a neat list (Capricorns love lists!) of things to keep doing and things to avoid in 2024.
Mercury retrograde in Capricorn since December 13
Mercury has been retrograde in Capricorn since December 13 and will in fact return to Sagittarius during this backward dance in the skies on December 24. That gives us a chance for a last call, before the year changes, to have fun and blow off some steam before returning to Capricornian energy and internalizing the lessons we’ve learned.
How to make the most of Capricorn season based on your zodiac sign
Aries
You’re being noticed — which comes with both challenges and opportunities. Be authentic, stand your ground, and don’t start unnecessary drama.
Taurus
Travel plans may need to change or be canceled. Stay flexible and understanding. You can still enjoy the holidays regardless.
Gemini
Your gift budget is smaller this year, but keeping everybody happy won’t be a problem. It’s the intention that counts.
Cancer
It doesn’t matter where you’ll spend the holidays, but with whom. Look at your relationships closely; decide if they’re enough.
Leo
You can’t please everyone at work and at home, so don’t try. Honor your boundaries; slot in some wellness time.
Virgo
There are some things that set your heart on fire. You need to acknowledge what these are, and pursue them.
Libra
You’ve been wanting to change residence for a while, and now the stars have finally aligned. Tread carefully but decisively.
Scorpio
Your words matter and have impact. Wield them intentionally, on social media and in writing. Words can change the world.
Sagittarius
It’s hard not to go overboard with holiday spending, but try. You’ll be in much better shape for New Year’s.
Capricorn
If you’re confused about who you are and who you should be, look inside. All answers are already within you.
Aquarius
Don’t let your anxiety stop you from celebrating all you have achieved this year. Take a deep breath. Smile. Repeat.
Pisces
Getting together with friends is extremely important this holiday season. Share your dreams and aspirations with them. They get it.
