The last new moon of the year — and decade — is almost here. On December 26, the new moon will rise in the sign of Capricorn, and in parts of Asia, Africa, and Australia, there will be a solar eclipse. In astrology, new moons always signify fresh starts, a solar eclipse even more so.

This time, the new moon will be in Capricorn, an earth sign known for its practicality, stubborn nature, and work ethic. It’s a good time to consider your professional and financial goals. This new moon also lines up with Jupiter, an alignment that “will create an abundance of fresh and new opportunities in the professional realm of our life.

Carefully consider your career moves. “You may have to choose between projects that will elevate your professional visions and tasks, or jobs that are tedious — that will lead you in the opposite direction of our visions and goals. Use the energy wisely!” And look at your bank account, too. “Money matters may come to a head as well — both good and bad. “It’s a wonderful time to start a new financial plan and budget for the new year.”

Capricorn isn’t exactly known for being a people-pleaser, so be mindful of how you speak to others. “You may not want to express your emotions, due to the moon in Capricorn — but Jupiter’s  presence may make it hard for you not to. “As always, be kind and gentle with yourself and others. Embrace the new and release the old views during this eclipse to maximize the energy.” Even if you can’t see the eclipse, the new moon’s energy will still be stronger than usual.

Remember that Capricorn is “the sign of the master planner. “As you shift into the energy of the new moon in Capricorn, now free from the baggage of the past, you’ll find you’re prepared to start fresh,” she says. “You’ll be ready to design and shape the framework upon which you will construct your future reality.” Its the perfect time for a 2020 vision board — or a 2020 budget.

Welcome to the final major moon of the decade, folks! The December 2019 new moon, which takes place late in the night on Dec. 25, is rising in earthy, get-stuff-done Capricorn. But it’s not just any ol’ new moon. As mentioned, this is the last new moon of the 2010s, making it a milestone you’ll want to stay up late for. It also falls on Christmas (or just after midnight on Dec. 26, if you’re on the east coast), giving it an extra festive touch. And last but not least, December’s new moon is a also solar eclipse, which completely changes the energy and vibe of the moon — and you’ll definitely want to know how this baby is hitting your zodiac sign.

New moons mark the start of a new lunar cycle (and in this case, the lunar cycle that will carry us straight into a new decade) — and this often makes the energy of new moons good for manifesting fresh energy into your life. Such is not the case with this new moon, though, and that’s because of the eclipse that’ll be rolling through alongside it to fully shake things up — in a good way!  The Solar Eclipse on Dec. 25 is one of the most fortunate the stars can give to us.

Not only do solar eclipses bring exciting breakthroughs and beginnings, they open doors to us that were previously locked, because they help establish themes for the next six months.  Be prepared for news because it is coming! Eclipses are all about fate. So rather than trying to manifest our own goals, we’re better off sitting back and opening ourselves up to the cosmic wisdom that’ll be bestowed on us. If you’re on the wrong path, the eclipse will swoop in and shake things up for you. This can be disorienting, yes — but it’s also ultimately for the best.

This new moon takes place in Capricorn, just a couple days after Capricorn’s sun season begins. It’s also the second Capricorn new moon of the year (the first was in January), so we’re definitely going to be feeling the Capricorn-heavy energy of hard work, ambition, and stable plans on the brain.  With the Solar Eclipse being in the Earth Sign of Capricorn, our ambitions and long-term plans are going to be collectively upon our minds.  Capricorn energy is one that will be with us significantly throughout the coming 12 months because Jupiter, planet of fortune, resides here. We want tangible results for our hard work and we are about to see them through persistence.

Eclipses can be a little scary given their penchant for quickly throwing us into completely new energetic spaces and situations without as much as a hint, but this year’s final moon is set to be a positive one thanks to some auspicious aspects from Jupiter and Uranus. Jupiter  comes in side-by-side with the Solar Eclipse spilling gifts upon us that will appear out of thin air.  This, too, is in part because of a stunning connection to Uranus, planet of surprise and liberation. Miracles shall rain like showers of gold. Let’s hope so! Check out how the December 2019 new moon and solar eclipse will affect your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
While the energy of the new moon/solar eclipse isn’t great for charging full-speed-ahead in your preferred style, Aries, what it is good for is thinking through your plans without too much attachment, and staying open to fresh inspiration — because it’s likely coming! Call on Capricorn’s slow and steady, practical-minded energy as you think through your next moves.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Eclipses aren’t a good time to attempt brand-new projects. But you, Taurus, have had some solid plans bouncing around inside your brain for quite some time now — perhaps even for the whole latter half of 2019. The new moon in hardworking Capricorn (a fellow earth sign, mind you!) is asking you to start taking steps to actualize these goals. You’ve had plenty of time to plot and plan. Now make it happen!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Intimacy, sex, and romance are definitely on your mind as the skies darken under this new moon/eclipse, Gemini. What’s been coming up for you in the intimacy department over the past six months and even year? Take what you’ve learned about this part of your life and pair it alongside what you desire in order to help you carve out your next steps. It takes work and planning to be able to set the boundaries you need.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This new moon/eclipse is putting a spotlight on your partnerships and getting you to think a little more critically about what you want in a lover, business partner, or friendship. While calling on Capricorn’s rationality will be helpful as you gain clarity in this area, as an emotional water sign, you should also welcome the intuition that comes from the more feeling-driven side of yourself. Let your emotions lead.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
This new moon may be rising at the height of winter, but you’re on fire now, Leo! This solar eclipse bubbles up a ton of inspiration and motivation relating to the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of 2019 — ensuring you end the year on a high note when it comes to knowing what direction you want to head over the coming months. Shoot for the stars and be ready to re-energize your passion projects.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
This new moon/solar eclipse is pulling out all the stops for you when it comes to romance, Virgo. If you’ve felt stagnant in your love life, prepare for the tides to shift and the waves to amp up, because you’re about to receive a whole bunch of fresh energy in that department. Thankfully, with both the sun and moon in fellow earth sign Capricorn, you won’t get swept too far out to sea in lust. Keep your feet on the ground — but let your heart soar.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
With Capricorn’s practical-minded energy dominating, your airy Libran self is likely to be pulled down to earth and asked to consider the future, your stability, and your home life during this new moon and solar eclipse. You’re probably feeling a little more domestic than usual, and making your home a highly-functioning and stable space is going to be at the top of your priority list. Create the space you need right now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
Keep your eyes and ears peeled during this new moon/solar eclipse, Scorpio, because inspiration and surprises of all sorts are lurking behind every corner. Think of everything you see, hear, touch, and smell as content that you can mine for ideas. Your mind is ablaze with excitement for what’s to come of your personal goals and ambitions, and the world is your oyster. Look out for the shine of a pearl.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
With the new moon/solar eclipse lighting up your second house of money and finance, you can prepare to start setting the stage for your career-based endeavors over the coming months. While you won’t want to make any risky, typical-Sag-style moves (it’s Capricorn season, so take it slow and steady!), now’s a great time to start with some daily affirmations that will encourage your confidence and abundance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)  

Both beginnings and important endings are definitely taking form for you under this moon, Capricorn, as this new moon and solar eclipse marks the kickoff to your sun season as well as the second new moon/eclipse in your sign this year. Embrace your confidence and inner star as you begin to visualize your goals for the future. Now’s the time to build yourself so you’re ready to start making moves in 2020.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Pay attention to your dreams and intuition now, Aquarius, because the only person who can guide you in the right direction under this new moon/solar eclipse is you. With the moon taking place in your ephemeral 12th house, you’ll likely be ready to close some major chapters in your life, whether that involves ending toxic relationships, saying goodbye to a soul-sucking job, or simply moving on to your true calling. Don’t be afraid to bid your past adieu.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Look at the people surrounding you in your life right now: Partners, friends, coworkers, roommates, the whole lot. Are they supportive of your goals and life purpose? Now’s the time to consider what kind of energy you’ve welcomed into your life, and how you want to proceed. Your vibe attracts your tribe, as they say — so adjust yours accordingly to ensure you’re surrounded by the positivity and inspiration you need to get to where you want to be in the next six months.

This is the last Full Moon of the year and the decade. The Moon is in Gemini, an airy, intellectual sign that seeks to categorize, connect and gather information. Lying opposite is the Sun in Sagittarius, a fiery, inspiration sign that is searching for a higher truth. Both signs are connected on some level with education, knowing, learning, teaching. Gemini is school, Sagittarius is university. Gemini is facts, Sagittarius is philosophies. Gemini is linear language, Sagittarius is symbolic language. During this full moon we swing between the big picture and the little picture and try to make sense of what we know.

It isn’t easy. There’s so much Earth energy right now, so much CAPRICORN that we’re probably all feeling weighed down in some aspect of our lives. The media too (news is a Gemini function), is full of dire scenarios and horror stories and no doubt is also playing on our minds. Impeachment, Bishop Malone stepping down etc !

Politics aside, the question is, what do you know to be true right now? Saturn sows a seed of doubt and we would be wise to listen. It doesn’t mean that we should focus on every negative thought in our minds or believe that we can’t accomplish our goals. All it means is that we need to take a second look at the information we have and then be prepared to turn over our decisions to that intuitive part of ourselves that sees beyond the mess of pros and cons. Quincunxes between the Moon, Venus and Pluto also bring a sense of unease and a temptation to obsess over what is right or wrong, good or bad. Background pressure is complicating things. The answers we want are not as clear cut as we would like, especially if we’re living in our heads and not listening to our hearts. Typical Gemini.

Mercury, ruler of this full moon is in detriment in the sign of Sagittarius. Thoughts can be scattered in this placement. A quincunx (The inconjunct or quincunx aspect in astrology is formed between planets that are roughly 150 degrees apart. … The two planets involved have a difficult relationship with each other. Sort of like a blind spot when you are driving. Inconjunct means a lack of fusion.) between Mercury and Uranus too adds low level anxiety. However, healer Chiron is trine Mercury, bringing a free flow of shamanic wisdom that asks us to trust ourselves. Between fact and fiction lies our own personal truths. This aspect also reminds us to keep talking to one another as Chiron is a bridge-builder. Without continued communication with one another, we are truly lost. The Moon in Gemini tells us that we must always leave room for dialogue. Keep talking. Keep listening. Keep an open mind.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

With a heavy workload or a new job on your plate, you’ve been focusing a ton of energy on work lately. But don’t skimp out on giving attention to your love life, Aries, because you could lose out on opportunities during this luminary. Don’t let your professional life stand in the way of love. Find balance. Call on the duality of the Gemini moon to help you spread your attention more evenly.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

A new romance may come your way that’s sure to boost your confidence. The last full moon of the year is likely to be a romantic one for you. Open your heart to truth in love and allow your vulnerability to sparkle.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

This moon is illuminating is your deep desire for all the perks of cuffing season. With the moon in your chatty sign, it’s the perfect time to express your feelings in words. If upping the intimacy factor is what you need, tell your S.O. exactly what’s on your mind.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Go all out and make it romantic — candles, bubbles, fresh flowers — and if you don’t have a partner, indulge in self-love solo.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

With the full moon in chatty, social Gemini, you’re bound to feel inclined to hit the town with the cherry on top of your love sundae. Invite friends for a fun night on the town. The energy now is great for bringing your S.O. closer into your circle of friends — and if you’re single, it’s the perfect occasion to get out on the town and meet someone.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Having a busy schedule is nothing new in the life of a Virgo, but work has been particularly stressful as its shifted forms and left you feeling uncertain. Don’t get so absorbed in the stress that your neglect your romantic side. Make time for your loved ones. Putting in the extra effort under this luminary in particular is key for longevity.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Yes, there have been some dramatics in your love life as of recently, but you are a lily surrounded by murky water. Don’t let any of the chatter get in the way of the beauty that’s right in front of you. You’re taking a higher minded approach to love and ignoring all the drama that stands in the way. Your high-vibe approach will sail you right over the chaos.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

The flighty nature of the Gemini moon doesn’t always sit well with scorpio — and with the other astrological aspects at play, you might find yourself easily agitated when it comes to your relationship or dating life. Don’t be passive aggressive, though — speak your truth now. It’s essential that you implement boundaries with others in order to avoid arguments down the road.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Your life has been lighting up in all different areas, but under this Gemini full moon, you might notice that worrying about your love life has oversaturated your thoughts. You’re more focused on your other half, which is wearing on your confidence at the moment. Try to find a balance when it comes to issues of romance and don’t let your mind get carried away in love stress.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Commitment is going to feel even scarier and heavier than usual given the aspects affecting this full moon, and that’s OK, but keep things in perspective. Fear may hold you back from committing to one person right now. Try to let go of relationship phobias. Being cautious is your style, but don’t say no to a good thing simply out of fear of being vulnerable and putting something on lock.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

With the emotional moon being full in a fellow air sign now, you’re feeling open to airing out your romantic feels after a period of cautiousness. Romance is in the air for you, as long as you let go of past hang ups. Try not to dwell on the decisions you’ve made in love in the past now, Aquarius. With work, patterns can be broken — focus on shedding away old habits that are no longer serving you in love.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Life gets busy, but for a romantic like you, Pisces, it’s imperative that you prioritize romance alongside your other responsibilities. The Gemini full moon offers a great opportunity to re-evaluate where you put your energy and give your love life the attention it currently requires to flourish. You’re learning to balance your personal life and work life in order to make time for love.

SINCE THIS IS A BIGGIE, I’M STILL POSTING ABOUT IT
The planet of expansion moved into a new sign, leaving its home sign of Sagittarius on December 2nd 2019 (1:19PM ET) and entering sober Capricorn, to stay until December 19th 2020 (8:07AM ET). We start a new Jupiter journey in a new Jupiter sign.

Jupiter in Capricorn focuses on expanding on the Capricorn energy. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and expands on anything it’s touching. So, the focus is on Capricorn now. What does Capricorn rule?

Capricorn is the sign of goals and ambitions. This is often the sign of career, but know that goals and ambitions don’t have to automatically be professional, and can be personal. It’s whatever we’re striving for in our lives, whatever we’re trying to succeed in some way with. This may be trying to get a promotion at work and get some career recognition, but it also can be trying to get pregnant, trying to get married, trying to start a charity, etc. Whatever your ultimate goals are!

Jupiter in Capricorn can make us more ambitious, striving to achieve and succeed, to make more progress on our path, and to feel like we’re getting somewhere. Capricorn rules our direction, the path our lives take, and we can focus on trying to get on the right path and stay on the right path. If we’re already on the right path, we can become more committed to it; if we’re not on the right path, we have to make hard choices and get disciplined. We may see a lot of people embark on some new career paths.

Discipline is a Capricorn thing as this sign wants us to achieve as much as possible and set up our lives not just for now and the present, but for the rest of our lives. This sign thinks long-term, so we’re not just focused on instant gratification. Instead, we want to make sure that we’re doing things in a way that will sustain us for years to come.

Capricorn is naturally ruled by Saturn, and Saturn is the teacher. Saturn wants us to learn lessons and do things the right way and for the right reason. When we go with that, we can get rewarded in the biggest ways, so those who have been doing that can see the biggest rewards with Jupiter in Capricorn. When we don’t go with that, we can experience major setbacks, delays, failures, and frustrations, so those who haven’t been doing things right can feel pushed down, held back, and have to look in the mirror and re-evaluate.

Capricorn is a responsible sign, so we can take responsibilities more seriously, and focus more on how to manage them. We may feel like we have a lot more of them, and we may not actually have more of them, but we feel like we do because we’re taking things more seriously.

On a personal level, you can experience any or all of this over the next year in the areas of life ruled by the house(s) transit Jupiter will move through in your natal chart while in Capricorn.

How Jupiter in Capricorn Differs From Jupiter in Sagittarius
Jupiter is the natural ruler of Sagittarius, so the planet is very at home in Sagittarius. Jupiter in Capricorn is a lot more buttoned-up! Sagittarius is free, wanting to wander, to explore, to have new experiences, and to open up to opportunities. Capricorn is practical, focused, committed, and takes a steady approach. Sagittarius thinks big and bright while Capricorn thinks realistically.

These things aren’t really opposed to one another though! Sagittarius is the sign before Capricorn, which means that Sagittarius energy is what leads to Capricorn energy and makes Capricorn energy possible in the first place. We go from the big ideas of Sagittarius to creating realistic plans to achieve them with Capricorn; we go from opening up to opportunities in Sagittarius to making progress and achieving success in Capricorn; we go from wandering and exploring in Sagittarius to growing wiser from our experiences in Capricorn.

The Capricorn Stellium of 2019-2020
Jupiter in Capricorn isn’t a typical transit. Not even close! Why? Because Jupiter won’t be the only planet in Capricorn. Jupiter joins Saturn and Pluto already in this sign!

This is a big deal! It creates what is called a stellium in astrology, which is when 3+ planets are together in one sign. In your natal chart, a stellium is a source of tremendous power and ability (once you learn how to use it). When there is a stellium in transit of the slower-moving planets (as Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are), this is a huge deal for the entire world, every one of us. It means there is a highly concentrated energy out there, and we’re suuuuper focused on something. Like, the whole world may literally be crazy focused on some very specific events, causes, subjects. (Impeachment, Catholic Church).

In mundane astrology, Capricorn rules our governments and politics. It has not escaped me in the slightest that we in the U.S. are going to have a pretty pivotal election in 2020 while this stellium is happening! All of that rhetoric about it being one of the most important elections in our history? Not a joke! (especially since the U.S. also has Pluto in Capricorn in the national chart, and is going to experience its first Pluto Return as a country in 2021) Brace for impact, folks .

I doubt this will just be a U.S. thing though (albeit I do understand the rest of the world is quite concerned about our politics!). The last time we had a Capricorn stellium was late 1980’s-start 1990’s with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and during that time, we saw the fall of the Soviet Union. That makes sense considering Uranus the rebel and change-maker and Neptune the dissolver were involved; this time, we’ve got expansive Jupiter and transformer Pluto in the mix. So it seems to spell major transformations, potentially of entire countries/governments.

Capricorn is also ruler of institutions, so we may see some big institutions get even bigger, and others completely collapse. Some important people may get more respect and success, while others may suffer huge falls and blows.

Capricorn, being ruled by Saturn, is also a restrictive sign, confining and limiting, so we may in general feel like some things become more confined, more restricted in some way. We may feel overwhelmed by some of the big things we’re dealing with as companies, societies, and countries (heck, even as a species fighting for survival!). Responsibilities just weigh on us more. Heavy is the head that wears the crown . . .

Special Periods During Jupiter in Capricorn
When Jupiter enters Capricorn, Saturn and Pluto will already be in Capricorn, as will Venus (until December 20th), so we’ll have 4 planets in this sign. Hopefully Venus makes the transition a little smoother! The Sun enters Capricorn the day after Venus leaves on December 21st, so we’ll be right back to 4 planets in Capricorn, and we’ll have a solar eclipse in Capricorn December 25th that is conjunct Jupiter (and Jupiter triggers right around the eclipse on December 20th). So we’re REALLY feeling the energy pretty much at the start! But it should be in a more positive way where we’re working on managing it and sticking to those plans!

Mercury enters Capricorn December 28th, and we’ll have 5 planets in Capricorn for almost 3 weeks! (the Mercury leaves Capricorn January 16th 2020 and the Sun leaves Capricorn January 20th 2020) Kicking up the Capricorn energy even more, we’ll be super focused on plans and realistic ideas with Mercury, and take on responsibilities and act like adults with the Sun. Saturn and Pluto will conjunct on January 12th at 22 degrees Capricorn, to add some icing to the cake. Supreme responsibilities, supreme goals, supreme transformations – we can handle it, we just have to keep with it!

Mars is in Capricorn February 16th 2020, and the planet of energy and drive brings more focus to the Capricorn energy. More goals, more plans, more progress, more limitations! But Saturn starts moving toward Aquarius, leaving Capricorn March 21st and not coming back until July 1st (until December 17th). So there is a slight break of over 3 months where it’s only Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn gives us a break. But just as Saturn comes back in July, we’ll have a lunar eclipse in Capricorn July 5th; thankfully it’s not conjunct Jupiter, Saturn, or Pluto, but Mercury will be retrograde in Cancer, so emotional energy is sure to be high, and we can feel pretty off. Not a huge fan of July!

Jupiter turns retrograde May 14th at 27 degrees 14 minutes Capricorn. It’s in orb conjunct transit Pluto and trine the Sun. But Venus turns retrograde the day before on May 13th! At 21 degrees Gemini, so not aspecting Jupiter, but with Saturn turning retrograde May 11th to boot, we’re likely going to feel like things are swirling quite a bit mid-May 2020.

Jupiter retrograde ends September 12th at 17 degrees 24 minutes Capricorn. It’s in orb sextile transit Neptune and trine the Sun again, but on September 9th, Mars turns retrograde. Aye! So we may feel like we’re moving forward again in some ways, but may be frustrated by the lack of progress or the way things have been going and have to keep in control of energy.

Jupiter leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius December 19th 2020, two days after Saturn does! In fact, Jupiter and Saturn won’t conjunct in Capricorn. They’ll conjunct in Aquarius right after on December 21st at 0 degrees, perhaps signaling a fresh new focus for the future after we’ve survived the Capricorn stellium. Crossing fingers!

Happy December. Jupiter has now entered Capricorn,  joining Pluto, Saturn, and the south node. You’ll find a ritual for Jupiter entering Capricorn as well as more information about the area of your life Jupiter is impacting in.   Take what works for you, leave the rest. Jupiter in the north node: This increases the importance of Jupiter throughout life.

With North Node conjunct Jupiter good deeds in the past bring opportunities for spiritual/material wealth.

There is a healthy desire to acquire material things and many advantages may result from developing financial self-sufficiency … If you haven’t gotten where you’d like to be in terms of love and relationship, you’re just going to have to try a little harder. Life is full of lessons, and so are your love affairs; but you have to not only take it all in, but put it to use. Trust and faith have likely been an issue for you in your past affairs; maybe you got involved with someone who wasn’t trustworthy, or maybe you refused to have faith in your sweetie or in the relationship, and ended up damaging what could have been a good long-term thing.

Get Proactive About Love And Life

You have a way of going with the flow of life that isn’t very productive in terms of personal growth. You stick with what’s comfortable, what’s known, instead of facing the scary prospect of the unknown future — even if what’s known and comfortable isn’t that great. What you need to learn about both love and life is that it’s supposed to be about progress. You’re supposed to grow, not continue to repeat the same lessons and patterns over and over again. Making mistakes is fine, as long as you don’t repeat them more than a few times. You have the strength and intelligence needed to start living and loving more proactively; you just need to put them to use.

 Aries & Aries Rising

Choose the accolades you want wisely. 

2019 closes out the year by encouraging you to make definitive moves towards your career dreams. It’s easy to mistake the illusions of other’s lives for an ideal you want to aspire to, however. Spend some time separating the captivating fiction others spin from the reality you want to live in. Strip each opportunity that comes your way down to its core. Get clear on your reasons for taking an offer or leaving it on the table. Get specific about what you want to accomplish over the next 12 months and what kind of effort it requires of you. The skies are encouraging you to strive for the kind of long-term, soulful success that an excess or a lack of popularity could never tarnish or take away.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Pack your bags and bring extra provisions. 

December sees you setting out on a year-long journey of self-inquiry, asking you to up your dedication to the practices that encourage your healing, help you gain perspective, and keep you on track. This kind of journey helps you to appreciate the valleys in your life as much as the peaks. It’s the kind of trip that demands you develop a more mature relationship to your goals. We humans naturally want good things to come quickly and tend to get discouraged when they don’t. You’re being asked to refuse the need for immediate gratification, delay self-pitying tendencies, and instead focus on the successes along your path that may be small, invisible to the world even, but far from insignificant to you.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Abundance comes through those you partner with.  

2019 asked you to grow your understanding of what you need in a partnership and as a result, asked you to learn new ways of sharing yourself and your life. Over the course of the next 12 months, you are being asked to take these lessons a step further and expand your awareness of how you and others can build together – not only emotionally, but also professionally. The gifts that others are about to bring you are bountiful, but they require an exchange. Whatever you have to give, add to it a commitment to your own healing; the only ingredient that ensures that the structures of your inner world are strong enough to hold the immense potential of your partnerships.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Care constructively and commit carefully.

Over the past year, the abundance of work projects and professional opportunities were most likely a total blessing and a point of overwhelm. In the midst of all of it, the need for daily routines that keep you clear-headed and feeling physically cared for has been obvious. You’ve been asked to hold more than ever before, and in doing so have come to understand just how capable you are. Take a moment to appreciate your efforts, the strides you’ve made this past year will serve you for many more to come. Your next growth spurt comes via professional and personal partnerships. Learning how to care constructively and commit thoughtfully is a fine art, one that you are being asked to master next.

Leo & Leo Rising

It’s time to get down to business. 

Knowing how to best work with your talent is one all its own. Over the past year, you’ve been asked to grow your appreciation for your creative self-expression. This affection will keep unfolding but there is a marked shift in your development come December. Over the course of the next 12 months you’re being asked to commit to the most important aspects of your work-life, your professional projects, and the practices that keep your physical, emotional, and mental well-being intact. Choose what to work on thoughtfully, the commitments that you make will require your every effort and you don’t want to spend that kind of energy on just anything.

Libra & Libra Rising

Fertilize your root systems. 

The past year has encouraged you to grow through your ability to communicate, express, and share your ideas with your world. The sheer volume of sentiments exchanged, lessons learned, and invitations in your inbox were most likely at an all-time high. Come December, and over the course of the next 12 months, your growth edges want to dig into your foundations and family life. You need a place to call home, both internally and externally. Building yourself a solid base will take your commitment, your patience, and your craftsmanship. Built brick by brick, one floorboard at a time, 2020 sets its sights on getting you to make the ground floor of your life as sturdy as possible

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Tell them the truth.

2019 was a year that promoted the development of your relationship to your finances and professional opportunities. It was a time that taught you much about the value of your talents and how to put them to work in the world. 2020 is a year that is dedicated to making sure that your messages reach a much wider audience. Be explicit about what you hold dear. The truth isn’t always easy to get to, uphold, or center – but that’s the point. Doing what you know is right often means doing what will take a little more effort, cost you a little more energy, but bring you the rewards of some serious, and eternal self-respect.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Get serious about your coin. 

2019 was a year of remarkable personal growth, expansion, and possible overwhelm. Big mountains and deep valleys require stamina to move through and yours has been tested and fortified in extreme ways. 2020 comes bearing new growth edges for you to push past. Your assets, resources, and talents demand your attention, dedication, and strategic planning. You’re being asked to take what you’ve got in this moment and position it in such a way that you can make the most of it for many years to come. The more you take ownership of your talents and their capacities the more they will teach you how to harness their inherent abundance. Whatever you create, make sure it has the capacity to be long-lasting and sustainable.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Opportunity is about to meet up with your preparation. 

Few years in your life will be as defining as 2019 has been, and 2020 will be. Astrologically speaking, you are being asked to own what you have studied, toiled over, worked towards, and made attempts to master. The more seriously you take your creative energy and your talents, the more seriously they’ll reveal to you what they can do. This next year brings tremendous opportunities for your personal growth with no shortage of ways for you to make an impact on the world. The set-up requires that you become incredibly specific about what you dedicate yourself to, as you’ll feel called to pursue things that demand your all. Make sure they are worth the work you are bound to put in.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Don’t sweat the small-minded ones.

Over the course of 2019, you have been asked to grow your professional profile. Making the most of these opportunities demanded that you first acknowledge the obstacles that have been in your way. Growth requires clarity, both in what we are moving towards and what we are working on letting go of. The next chapter of your unfolding asks you to commit to the networks and social gatherings that will add more meaning, depth, and richness to your life. If the people you gather with don’t captivate you, move on. 2020 is about aligning with those that know the power of their dreams and are able to work what they need to in order to bring them to fruition.

Jupiter leaves Sagittarius and moves into Capricorn on December 2nd, and sets off the start of the big Capricorn stellium, joining Saturn and Pluto in this sign for the next year (ish, Saturn will move into Aquarius for a few months next year). It’s likely going to be strongest early, especially in December with Venus in Capricorn already (until the 20th), and the Sun and Mercury entering Capricorn (21st and 28th, respectively), and a solar eclipse in Capricorn on the 25th (that’s triggered by Jupiter!). SO big energy Capricorn energy!

This can make us more ambitious, driven, disciplined, focused, and goal-oriented, so we need to use this to our advantage to go-go-go; it can also make us more restricted, overwhelmed, and pessimistic, so we have to make sure we’re not neglecting personal needs and not taking on too much.

Before going into Capricorn, Mercury leaves Scorpio on December 9th and enters Sagittarius for a few weeks, and helps us focus on the big picture and be more optimistic about what’s possible. Venus enters Aquarius on December 20th, and we can enjoy focusing on the future, pursuing our dreams, spending time with friends, and embracing the unconventional. A full moon occurs on December 12th in Gemini, helping us sort through the ideas and plans we have so we can focus on the ones we can take action with right away.

Jupiter in Capricorn focuses on expanding on the Capricorn energy. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and expands on anything its touching. So, the focus is on Capricorn now. What does Capricorn rule?

Capricorn is the sign of goals and ambitions. This is often the sign of career, but know that goals and ambitions don’t have to automatically be professional, and can be personal. It’s whatever we’re striving for in our lives, whatever we’re trying to succeed in some way with. This may be trying to get a promotion at work and get some career recognition, but it also can be trying to get pregnant, trying to get married, trying to start a charity, etc. Whatever your ultimate goals are!

Jupiter in Capricorn can make us more ambitious, striving to achieve and succeed, to make more progress on our path, and to feel like we’re getting somewhere. Capricorn rules our direction, the path our lives take, and we can focus on trying to get on the right path and stay on the right path. If we’re already on the right path, we can become more committed to it; if we’re not on the right path, we have to make hard choices and get disciplined. We may see a lot of people embark on some new career paths.

Discipline is a Capricorn thing as this sign wants us to achieve as much as possible and set up our lives not just for now and the present, but for the rest of our lives. This sign thinks long-term, so we’re not just focused on instant gratification. Instead, we want to make sure that we’re doing things in a way that will sustain us for years to come.

Capricorn is naturally ruled by Saturn, and Saturn is the teacher. Saturn wants us to learn lessons and do things the right way and for the right reason. When we go with that, we can get rewarded in the biggest ways, so those who have been doing that can see the biggest rewards with Jupiter in Capricorn. When we don’t go with that, we can experience major setbacks, delays, failures, and frustrations, so those who haven’t been doing things right can feel pushed down, held back, and have to look in the mirror and re-evaluate.

Capricorn is a responsible sign, so we can take responsibilities more seriously, and focus more on how to manage them. We may feel like we have a lot more of them, and we may not actually have more of them, but we feel like we do because we’re taking things more seriously.
