The Capricorn Season ( December 21, 2022- January 20, 2023) is here and coincides with the winter solstice and also brings in a Mercury Retrograde!

My advice: Set those far-reaching goals and resolutions, but with caution, thanks to Mercury retrograde!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like the solstice! The Sun enters Capricorn, marking the shortest day of the year for those living in the northern hemisphere. Under the cover of darkness, turn inwards and scan the landscape of your subconscious mind. Carve out space to meditate, reflect and find gratitude for the high points of your 2022. Then, clarify what you’d like to leave behind as you enter 2023—and what evolution you’re most proud to bring with you into the New Year.

Whether you’re staunchly monogamous, proudly polyamorous or “monogamish” (as sexpert Dan Savage calls it), 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—and memorializing the ones you’ve already shared.

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.

Overall, focus on one goal at a time and don’t try to do 10 things together. Capricorn rules our spine and bone structure so make sure to take care of that , literally and metaphorically! Capricorn rules the zodiac’s tenth house of masculine energy, fathers and anyone who identifies with the pronouns he/him. This can be an important time to connect to the male-identified folks in your life. So honor the father figures in your life.

Let’s take a deeper look at what’s ahead for your sign.

You can read for both your Sun and Rising sign…

Aries: Your ruling planet, Mars, has been retrograde since the end of October, and this may have created some stagnant or slow-moving energy in your life. But now, in Capricorn Season, on January 12, Mars will finally station direct. Mars stationing direct can get things moving very quickly! Anything that has felt sluggish or has been dragging can finally get a big boost! Watch what you feel naturally drawn to or motivated to complete come January, as this is how you can really channel the forward-moving energy of Mars. The Capricorn New Moon on December 23, brings some strong healing energy your way. As we wrap up 2022, Mercury will station retrograde on December 29, joining Mars. Mercury will remain in retrograde until January 18. With both of these planets in retrograde together, we may feel the transition between 2022 and 2023 a little foggy, confusing, or stagnant. While many use this transition point to set goals and make to-do lists, it may not be as easy this year. Once Mars stations direct on January 12 and Mercury follows on January 18, things will begin speeding up and cosmic energy will begin flowing quickly and in new directions again. Remember, 2023 is the year of doors opening, so be sure you are knocking!

Taurus: This rebirth phase will still continue into 2023, but don’t worry, you are nearing the end of your journey and this means that clarity is on the way. As you move into 2023, you will feel clearer about your path ahead and what you wish to focus on. If any major life events took place in 2022, you may begin to feel a sense of ease moving in. The Capricorn New Moon on December 23, carries some healing energy that can lift your spirits and get you thinking more positively about your circumstances. You may feel the urge to travel, especially to somewhere that feels healing and restorative. Mars will station direct again on January 12, and Mercury will follow on January 18, so use this window of time to rest and not put too much pressure on yourself. The Cancer Full Moon on January 6, carries highly sensitive energy, which may also highlight where we need to pause, relax, and reflect. We may find ourselves feeling confused about something or overly emotional. Sit with whatever comes up for you rather than trying to suppress it. When we allow emotions to flow, they can become a guide, revealing to us how we can step into greater harmony. While 2023 will carry more transformative energy, you are nearing the end of the journey. Use the energy of 2023 to channel your transformative journey in the direction of your choosing. Know that you get a say! 2023 will be a great year to push the boundaries on what you thought was possible and leap into the new.

Gemini: Whatever comes up, take it as an opportunity to reinvent yourself and transform to a higher level of consciousness. As Mars stations direct and eventually leaves Gemini, it will be easier to see the results of your hard work! The Capricorn new Moon encourages us to radically accept all that we are and to love ourselves for who we are today, rather than trying to fix or change who we are. This healing and self-acceptance energy comes from Chiron, the asteroid known as the wounded healer, which is very active under this New Moon. There is a theme happening here of planets stationing direct and by January 23rd, we will have zero major planets in retrograde! Retrograde energy always creates a reflective state that requires us to go back and look over things, so with all planets moving direct, we will have some great forward momentum in the cosmos and in our own lives. Until this time, we are really being encouraged to slow down, pause, and make time for all the nagging thoughts and feelings that we tend to ignore. Use this time wisely Gemini, as it won’t be long before things are moving full steam ahead!

Cancer: It is Capricorn Season which means that your Full Moon is on the way! Falling on January 6th, this Cancer Full Moon is extra powerful and carries some heightened energy that will stir your emotions and sensitivities. As a sign that is already known for its sensitivities, this Full Moon may have you feeling extra emotional. There is also a chance for miscommunications, or perhaps something will come up that just feels like the Universe is not working in your favor. There could be a little disappointment around this Full Moon, or emotions may be working overtime, making everything feel extra disappointing! Whenever there is strong emotional energy, it is important to focus on cleansing. Whenever Capricorn Season comes around, there can be a focus on the other or relationships in your life, and that is what you may feel stirring around this New Moon.You may also find yourself healing in a way that allows you to stay true to yourself and assert yourself when it comes to certain relationships. it really is about finding our own sense of healing, no matter what wounds we carry. What gifts can your wounds show you? Stay open to this question and see what inspiration arrives.

Leo: As we move into the grounded sign of Capricorn, you may naturally find yourself wanting to slow down and wrap up projects or situations that have been consuming far too much of your time. In fact, you may even begin to feel that it’s time to take inventory of how you are spending your energy and what you no longer wish to dedicate your time to. Be fully present with whatever you are doing, and it will be easier to merge with the pace of the Universe. This slow-down energy is also going to be magnified as Mercury also stations retrograde on December 29 until January 18. From this period, things may feel foggy or confusing. It may be hard to wrap your head around how you feel about something or what the best course of action is. Again, if you are feeling any of this, use it as your opportunity to slow down, pause, and go within. You may also find yourself bringing closure to a work project. If you are thinking of switching jobs, this New Moon would be a good time to put your feelers out there to see what is available. By the time Capricorn Season comes to an end however, you will be feeling much more energized and ready to move forward on things that previously felt confusing or tricky to navigate.

Virgo: You may find yourself thinking about new projects to tackle or what lessons and adventures you want to create for yourself in the new year. Capricorn energy can be very ambitious, so breathe some of this in, but don’t overdo it! We have a lot of cosmic energy guiding us to slow down and be patient. It seems that even though we may want to bring fresh new things into our lives, we may have to be patient. if you are struggling in a relationship, see if you can reflect on where abandonment issues may be coming up for you or your partner. What are you or your partner really afraid of losing? If you need to cut ties with a relationship, you may find it easier to do so under the Cancer Full Moon, which peaks in the new year on January 6. Alternatively, you may find this Full Moon helps to resolve and complete whatever issues you were struggling with under the New Moon.we may notice unresolved situations or feelings bubbling up to the surface. It is also easier for us to feel stuck in our heads or confused about how to proceed. This planetary energy can also lead to mishaps, miscommunications, and can easily trigger heated emotions.o slow, and don’t overcommit or take on too much.

Libra: Your focus shifts to your home and family life this Capricorn Season. You may find yourself needing to juggle extra responsibilities in these areas or finding that you need to set greater boundaries in order to feel more at peace. While your home and family life may be drawing your attention, you may also feel a pull towards your career and professional endeavors too. Our time and energy are both limited and precious resources, so this is a good time to take stock and think about how you are choosing to spend your time, and if you like what results it is yielding you. Of course, sometimes we have no choice over where we need to spend our time, but we often do have a choice around how we wish to expend our energy. Many of us are traveling and busy with holiday plans during that time of year, so it’s going to be extra important to take things slow and carve out time for rest. If something feels too much or you are hesitant to commit, listen to that voice rather than brushing it off or talking yourself into it out of obligation. While it is fine to do this sometimes, doing it all the time will only lead to burnout and resentment! If you have been struggling physically, emotionally, or even mentally, this New Moon offers the opportunity to bring some fresh energy into your life, and with this fresh energy comes healing. You may feel extra sensitive under this New Moon, or even extra grateful for any support you have received on your own healing journey. With Mercury in retrograde, we may find ourselves prone to miscommunications and mishaps. Since Mercury rules over travel, we may also find ourselves experiencing delays.It may also highlight something in your work life or feelings around your purpose.

Scorpio: As a sensitive soul, you are in a prime position to feel this. Whenever we have strong vibrational energy like this, it tends to adapt to the energy of our own body, giving us exactly what we need. We may feel wiped out, indicating that we are in need of rest. Or, we may feel energized, indicating that it’s time for us to take action and get things done. Pay attention to your body, mind, and spirit as the Sun moves into Capricorn on December 21st. This New Moon carries some gentle, healing vibrations, encouraging us to focus on loving ourselves, wounds and all. Our wounds, although painful, can lead us down some beautiful paths, and that’s what this New Moon celebrates. This is a good time to reconnect with your wounds and to remember that even though they may hurt and weep, you can still lead a beautiful, fulfilled life. Whenever we have strong retrograde energy like this, it is always best to go within, reflect, and revisit the past before moving ahead. What wisdom does the past still have for you? Once Mercury is moving direct, you may begin to feel a little clearer and more certain about what you need to focus on in 2023.

Sagittarius: You may also feel a dip in energy or a feeling of being zapped. The Capricorn New Moon on December 23, is also a good time to think about what you wish to fill your life with. New Moons are always fantastic times of year for drawing things towards you. They are like a magnet, so set some intentions, plant some seeds, put your wishes out to the Universe and trust what flows! But, keep in mind that Mars is retrograde, and Mercury is preparing to go retrograde too, on December 29. Having strong retrograde energy like this can create the feeling of one step forward, two steps back. So, don’t race ahead even if you want to start something new. Take your time. As we move into 2023, we have the Cancer Full Moon, which peaks on January 6. There is strong emotional energy around this Full Moon, and as a water sign, you may feel it stronger than most! Protect your energy at this time and have boundaries in place, not just physical ones but also spiritual ones. If you need, spend time in nature or work with crystals, and try not to take on the emotions of others as your own. You tend to be a sponge, and this Full Moon can suck you in if you are not firm with your energetic boundaries.In fact, if you have a side project or have thought about turning a hobby into a business, there is supportive energy under this Full Moon! With Mercury and Mars in retrograde until mid-January, focus on creating a foundation and putting a plan together.

Capricorn: Welcome to your Season! If you have been getting caught up in your responsibilities or losing sight of your fun and playful nature, this is your reminder to bring it back! You are very good at doing the hard work, but you also need to make sure you find time for fun! For you Capricorn, finding this lightness usually involves releasing some control and readjusting your boundaries. Some boundaries will need to be firmer, but others will need to come down, allowing greater relaxation. You will intuitively know what is best for you. The Capricorn New Moon, on December 23, carries the energy of new beginnings. While there is strong new beginning energy around this New Moon, Mars is still in retrograde, and its friend, Mercury, is preparing to enter retrograde too on December 29. Having both these planets in retrograde together can create a slow-down effect. For this reason, it will be important to take things slow, to pause, and to not rush ahead. 023 also opens with a Full Moon in the sign of Cancer on January 6. This Full Moon will highlight your relationships and the giving and receiving that you experience with them. You may feel like certain relationships are demanding too much of your time or that you are giving without really receiving. Alternatively, it may be time for you to give back to someone that has given you so much. if your birthday falls within 1-2 days of December 29, the day Mercury stations retrograde, you may find that communication becomes a theme for your year ahead. You may be learning how to express your voice and how to organize your thoughts in new ways. The same applies if your birthday falls within 1-2 days of Mercury stationing direct on January 18. And finally, if your birthday falls within 1-2 days of January 12, the day Mars stations direct, Mars themes may be important for you in the coming year. Mars rules over our ability to take action, our passions, impulses, and also our energy. You may need to adjust how you spend your energy and bring more focus to your passions. Overall, your birthday season is a busy one!

Aquarius: Change is not always easy, and yet this year may have brought lots of change your way! Perhaps you are still trying to wrap your head around everything that has transpired. Well, as we move into 2023, things will get a little easier, a little more settled, and a little more grounded. Saturn has been touring your sign for some time now but is nearing the end of its journey. Saturn is preparing to leave your sign in March 2023, so Saturn will be busy completing any lessons and helping ensure you have learned all you need to learn! As you wrap up these lessons, you may feel a little depleted and in need of rest. The holiday season is generally busy, but you may find yourself wanting to retreat or spend some time alone. While this is fine, you are also a very social sign, and it’s important to get in that human interaction and connection. The Capricorn New Moon on December 23, carries some healing energy that has the potential to be quite uplifting and inspiring. If you need to make amends or want to create a deeper connection with those around you, this New Moon will be extra supportive. Both Mercury and Mars in retrograde as we transition into 2023 may create some sluggish, confusing, and heavy energy. We may not be able to think as clearly or communicate to the best of our ability. We may also feel confused about how to proceed with something. Mercury and Mars in retrograde, beckon us to go back to the past. Past experiences and the wisdom of our past will be our guide. Our intuition can also be heightened with all this retrograde energy, so be sure to listen if something doesn’t feel right. The Full Moon on January 6, carries some emotional energy. Your attention may turn to family matters or having to be there for someone you love. This Full Moon can also stir financial or legal issues that need to be addressed. Even though there may be some emotion attached to this, see if you can approach things from a balanced mindset, where you are following your heart but also looking at the facts. And again, take your time if you can. Don’t be in a rush if you don’t have to be.

Pisces: The Capricorn New Moon on December 23 carries soft, healing vibrations, reminding you that you are whole just as you are. If you have wounds and insecurities that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest, this New Moon will offer inspiration and support to seek help and guidance. There are many ways this help and guidance may come, so stay open and see what you feel drawn to explore. Mars has been retrograde since October, so this is not a new energy, but Mercury will join in on December 29, creating a slow-down effect. Mars Retrograde can sometimes create this feeling of one step forward, two steps back, and with Mercury also in the mix, it can amplify this energy. You may find past issues or thoughts of the past creeping back into your awareness around this time. Alternatively, you may just feel a little lethargic and need to rest and recharge your batteries. If you feel unclear on something or uncertain about how to proceed, know that this, too, is a sign to pause and go within. Once these planets are moving direct again, greater clarity will arrive. The January 6th Full Moon in Cancer carries some sensitive and emotional energies. If you have been burning the candle at both ends, this Full Moon may give you no choice but to slow down and rest. There will be a lot happening behind the scenes and a lot of inner work to do, but this will lead you to a higher calling and a higher purpose. You will feel more connected to your soul path and more aligned with where you are heading!
