The most important event this week is that the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21. While Sagittarius is the sign of adventure, expansion and greatness, Capricorn is actually the opposite!
The Capricorn season syncs up with the beginning of the winter season, and that actually says a lot about the nature of this sign. Capricorn can be a cold and internal sign that is always working and working beneath the surface.
Capricorn is not known for showing off his work or what he has accomplished. Just like in winter, things may seem silent or lifeless on the outside, but deep beneath the earth there is a whole world of life in hibernation.
This is when you step in and start being more economical with your energy and the way you spend it. While Sagittarius is absent-minded and wants a little bit of this and a lot of that and that and that! Capricorn is focused, deliberate and very picky when it comes to what he wants, needs and desires.
So take advantage of this energy, brace yourself and start thinking seriously about what you want to build in the long term and what the necessary and practical action steps are to achieve that.
Capricorn is not interested in lofty dreams without a basis or foundation in the tangible, material world. It is about getting rid of the unnecessary things that do not serve to achieve one’s plans and goals.
So ask yourself: what are the frivolous and impractical things in your life that you hold on to (and give your energy to) that don’t actually align with or support what you want to achieve in the long term?
Capricorn is the sign of discipline, and discipline means discipleship. What does that mean?
We are often conditioned to think of discipline as being extremely rigid and hyper-focused on getting things done just for the sake of work. However, that is completely untrue. Discipline is about being a disciple, a student. It’s really all about being a student of life and putting yourself and your actions in service of whatever it is you want to build/create.
You will find your approach to life changes dramatically once you shift your perspective to this newer and more accurate definition of discipline.
You gain a sense of agency and maturity in your relationship with the things you need to get done. You’ll likely feel more motivated and driven to be more serious and focused in taking care of all the things that aren’t fun in themselves but are essential to helping you achieve the life you ultimately desire.
And this gives you a sense of fulfillment that nothing else in the world can compensate.
So how can you practically apply all this in your daily life, so that you actually walk the talk and not just talk the talk? Capricorn season invites you to buckle down, go inward, and get serious about your life and how you want to spend it.
Ask yourself what you are a disciple of and whether you are deeply satisfied with your answer. If not, slow down, get clear on what that is and create a detailed, realistic and pragmatic action plan to make that dream a reality!
