The Sun is now in Capricorn; the archetype of the strategist, elder, and hermit.
Ruled by Saturn, the planet of self-discipline and solitude, this is a time to shift our focus away from the external, and instead focus on our intentions and what we value. It’s a time to create solitude and remain in integrity with oneself regardless of where the world is vying for your attention.
Capricorn’s evolutionary goal is to merge their true nature with their public identity. With its patience, resourcefulness, and self-discipline, Capricorn has the capacity to climb the highest mountain and swim the widest ocean as symbolized by the sea-goat.
Capricorn is associated with the tenth house (of career, mission, public role) and is a cardinal sign which means that for the sign of the strategist finding a mountain/mission that is worthy of their time, effort, and commitment — one where you can share your gifts with your community — is integral to its vitality.
But what mission is worthy of you? The heart knows the answer. And to hear its message, we must spend some time in solitude — a strategy that Capricorn knows well.
Capricorn (season) is here to teach us that in order to reach the top of the mountain, we must stay true to ourselves, our values, and funnel our energy into a cause or mission that we deem worthy of our commitment (time and energy). Capricorn teaches us that there are times when we must say no to external temptations in order to focus on what’s truly important to us, and that focus and determination are key ingredients in making our vision a reality. All of this packaged with some self-care (solitude and taking restorative breaks) will support us in the process of getting there.
