From December 21 to January 19, the Sun will be in the earth sign Capricorn. When Capricorn season commences, the Winter Solstice begins in the Northern Hemisphere, which is the shortest day of the year. During this time, we are focusing more on how we can attain greatness this year. It might be a little more challenging to make things happen due to Mars' planetary moonwalk, which began on December 6 and lasts until February 23, 2025. Instead of pushing things forward, we should focus on slowing down and unwinding in the days ahead.

How You’ll Be Affected?

Fire Signs

(Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)

Now is the time to boss up and take charge of matters, particularly in the professional realm of life. 

Earth Signs

Think outside the box to advance your creativity and artistry, as well as the way you process information.

Air Signs
