It’s dealer’s choice on your new year’s resolutions during Capricorn season
Capricorn season rallies on until January 19, so you’re not going to lose your momentum (or your “high pro glow”) if you start building your supersized visions early next year. In fact, we kinda recommend it, because the “retroshade” from the last Mercury retrograde of the year won’t disappear until January 2. Why force things?
On the other hand, if you’re ready to wrap up the year with a giant velvet bow, the December 30 Capricorn new moon (a bonus, second “black moon” this month), could deliver the burst of energy you need to crush EOY goals or get an early start on your 2025 resolutions.
Winter isn’t just for hibernating
Saturday, December 21, marks earth’s return toward the light, and the winter solstice coincides with the Sun’s transition to can’t-stop-won’t-stop Capricorn. For four weeks, you’re encouraged to take a pragmatic and streamlined approach to all you do.
Look for ways you can pass on your expertise, too, like taking a new relative or green coworker under your wing. What goes around, comes around—like your White Elephant gift! Speaking of: Could someone in your life use a not-so-secret Santa? Capricorn is the provider sign, reminding us that ‘tis better to give. Fortunately, it’s also ruled by boundary-hound Saturn, so generosity doesn’t have to turn into a sacrifice.
Love gets as classic as a cashmere turtleneck during Capricorn season
Tradition, tradition! After four wild weeks of Sagittarius season, Cupid slips into an old-fashioned groove in Capricorn. There’s a reason why conventional rules of romance, like honesty and fidelity, have lasted through the ages.
Whether you’re staunchly monogamous, proudly polyamorous or “monogamish”, integrity is key to any successful union. Get honest about where you stand with people, even if a good one slips away because you want totally different things.
In a rock-solid relationship? Now’s the time to honor your bond by creating cherished memories or turning favorite pastimes into full-on traditions. Assemble photos of your greatest moments into an album or have matching jewelry engraved. Did you break a promise to the one you love? Start making it up to them in tangible, measurable ways. You’ll be back in good graces in no time.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)
Wait…where did you go, Gemini? The energizing Sun plunges into Capricorn and your eighth house intimacy zone this December 21, launching four weeks of lusty goodness (and wickedness, depending on how you slice it!) Skip any social plans you’re not psyched about in favor of private time doing whatever (and whomever) you darn well please. Just as the temperature is plummeting outside, your bedroom is getting hot, hot, hot. Single? Hit the sheets with your companion or toy of choice, but don’t kiss and tell.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)
Two is the magic number starting December 21, as the Sun blazes into Capricorn and your seventh house relationship realm until January 19. Overcome any shyness you might feel and roll the dice on partnerships of all sorts—professional, amorous, creative and anything else you can conjure up! Rather than flying solo, go out of your way in the next four weeks of Capricorn season to connect with potential teammates. You’ll have more success AND more fun if you do. You won’t need to bend over backwards wooing your other half though. The Sun is doing most of the work with its powerful force field.

Leo (July 22-August 22)
As of December 21, your mantra becomes “all things in moderation,” as the Sun blazes into strict Capricorn and your salubrious sixth house for a four-week wellness retreat. Before you reach for the glucose-spiking cookies, fill up on fiber-rich greens followed by healthy protein like a handful of walnuts. And keep to your normal workout schedule as much as possible. You’ll need all that energizing nutrition and exercise for the arduous workload you’re facing until January 19. But don’t hesitate to delegate some duties so you can celebrate the season Leo-style!

Virgo (August 22-September 22)
First order of business this weekend? Lose the modest Virgo persona and put your fabulousness on full display. Once the Sun dances into commanding Capricorn and your amorous, glamorous fifth house on December 21, you’re in prime position for four whole weeks of sexy celebrations. Serve up stylish lewks while hitting the party circuit hard and savor the attention that you’re sure to draw. Be camera-ready every time you walk out the door because this house governs fame. Just because you’re not likely to be stalked by paparazzi doesn’t mean you won’t get tongues wagging during Capricorn season. Start a big buzz over your latest passion project!

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Home sweet home! Chez Libra is your happy place starting December 21, as the Sun dashes into your fourth house domestic court and hunkers down for a monthlong rest. Get cozy in your favorite yoga pants and curl up by the fire (even if that means streaming one on YouTube). Although you yearn to nest to your heart’s content, the social butterfly in you wouldn’t dream of hibernating solo for four long weeks. Invite people over to celebrate the season in your sanctuary. But curate the guest list with care so you don’t wear yourself out hosing a blowout bash.

Scorpio (October 22-November 21)
Come out, come out wherever you are! The radiant Sun blasts into Capricorn on December 21 and kicks off a monthlong campaign in your third house communication center. Between now and January 19, this could make you uncharacteristically guileless. DO keep some of those NSFW tidbits to yourself, Scorp, unless you’re prepared to have people bring them up again and again over the years. This is a great time for reconnecting to siblings and friends from back in the day. Make it a group thing, even if you don’t actually meet up until early January.

Sagittarius (November 21-December 21)
Savor the last piece of birthday cake, Archer, then let Sea Goats take their seats at the table. The Sun departs Sagittarius on December 21 and lands with a thud in Capricorn and your resourceful second house. Start simplifying your life, at least to some extent. It feels great to catch your breath after a memorable month of being fêted by your nearest and dearest. (And having Mercury retrograde for most of your birthday season sure did make things complex!) Take it down a notch and plant your feet back on terra firma.
If your bank balance dipped due to the celebrations, concentrate on getting your finances squared away during Capricorn season. Comb your budget for leaks, and even more important: Start plotting how you’ll boost your income in the month ahead.

Aquarius (January 19-February 18)
Permission to downshift: granted. As the vibrant Sun sneaks into Capricorn and your restful, restorative twelfth house on December 21, you have every right to reclaim your chill. El Sol is due to parade into Aquarius on January 19, so you’re moving into the last month of your yearlong zodiac cycle with Capricorn season. You need to loosen your grip and surrender to a slower pace. That’s how you’ll hit the reset button and clear the decks for your fresh start next year. Meander wherever your imagination takes you…into daydreams, engrossing novels, transcendent music or even binge-watching. It’s time to tune out the so-called real world and go within to soothe your soul.

Pisces (February 18-March 20)
Yes, yes and yes! Those are your replies to invitations in the coming month, Pisces. With the vibrant Sun grapevining into Capricorn and your communal eleventh house on December 21, here’s your cue to unfold your social-butterfly wings and celebrate the season with a passion. Carve out time for holiday parties, industry events, squad nights and any other lively gatherings you feel like attending. And freshen up your social-media profiles while you’re at it to better reflect who you are during Capricorn season. But don’t lock yourself into a rigid schedule. You need to leave room for impromptu merriment in the weeks ahead.
