WELCOME TO CAPRICORN SEASON

The sun will enter Capricorn on December 21 at 10:27 p.m. EST, marking the beginning of a new season in a new sign. The northern hemisphere will experience the winter solstice — the shortest day of the year — and bring a chill to the air.  Rules and receipts. Rigidity! Boundaries! Sensitivity and Stoicism! Accomplishments! Suffering in silence instead of asking for help! Reject it before it has a chance to hurt you!

The sun will enter Capricorn on December 21 at 10:27 p.m. EST, marking the beginning of a new season in a new sign. The northern hemisphere will experience the winter solstice — the shortest day of the year — and bring a chill to the air. Meanwhile, the southern hemisphere will welcome the summer solstice, bringing warmth. During the winter solstice, we celebrate the sun’s journey and reflect on the lessons we’ve learned over the past year. 

Capricorn Season marks a time of self-reflection because it occurs towards the end of the year. We usually spend time assessing what we’ve learned and what we want (and don’t want) to bring into the new year with us. It’s a time in which we take accountability for the past and make amends with others (or choose not to) as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Thursday night is the winter solstice and the beginning of Capricorn season. As the sun moves into the sign of discipline and accountability, you have the opportunity to take responsibility for your life. Even when other people fall short or disappoint, you can still live up to the high standards you set for yourself.

Capricorns tend to have very high standards, and they can be hard on themselves and others when they fall short. Whatever your sun sign, your inner boss may be hard to please during Capricorn season, so be wary of setting yourself up to fail with grandiose New Year’s resolutions.

This Capricorn season you may want to pay close attention to the relationships that make the current, most recently-updated person that you’ve become as a result of this last year. Really talk to the people who’ve proven that they’re worth your time and your love. To the rest of ’em — leave them on the other side of the calendar year. Set your goals and get that bread (get that head then leave).
