The main event this week is the Sun moving into Capricorn on the 21st of December. Where Sagittarius is the sign of adventure, expansion, and grandiosity, Capricorn is basically the polar opposite!
Capricorn season is synchronous with the start of the winter season, and that is actually quite telling about the nature of this sign. Capricorn can be a cold and internal sign that is always working and laboring beneath the surface.
Capricorn is not known for showing off or displaying their work or what they accomplish. Just like in winter, things might seem stagnant or lifeless on the outside, but a whole world of hibernating life is occurring deep beneath the Earth.
This is when you go inward and be more frugal with your energy and how you spend it. While Sagittarius is scattered and wants a little bit of this and a lot of that and that and that! Capricorn is focused, deliberate, and very particular about what it wants, needs, and desires.
So take advantage of this energy, buckle down, and get serious about what you want to build in the long run and what the necessary and practical action steps are to make that a reality.
Capricorn is not interested in lofty dreams with no basis or foundation in the tangible, material world. It is all about getting rid of the extraneous things that do not serve to fulfill one’s plans and goals.
So ask yourself, what are the frilly and impractical things in your life that you latch onto (and give your energy to) that actually do not align with or support what you want to accomplish in the long run?
Capricorn is the sign of discipline, and discipline means discipleship. What does that mean?
We are often conditioned to think of discipline as being extremely rigid and hyper-focused on getting things done just for the sake of it. That is, however, completely untrue. Discipline is about being a disciple, a student. It is, in fact, all about being a student of life and dedicating yourself and your actions in service to whatever it is you wish to build/create.
You will find that your approach to life changes drastically once you shift your perspective toward this newer and more accurate definition of discipline.
You gain a sense of agency and maturity in your relationship with the things you need to get done. You will probably feel more motivated and driven to be more serious and focused about taking care of all the things that are not fun per se but essential in aiding you to attain the life you ultimately long for.
And this gives you a sense of fulfillment that nothing else in the world can compensate for.
So, how can you practically apply all of this in your day-to-day life to actually walk the talk and not just be talking theories in the air? Capricorn season is inviting you to buckle down, go inwards, and get serious about your life and how you wish to spend it.
Ask yourself what you are a disciple of and whether you are deeply content with your answer. If you are not, slow down, get clear on what that is, and create a detailed, realistic, and pragmatic action plan to turn that dream into a reality!
