Ruled by Saturn, a planet known for its epic boundary setting but also for bringing great wisdom, Capricorn reminds us to stand back and map out a strategy. Depicted by the intrepid mythical sea goat, Capricorn season can infuse our plans with practical earth energy so that our dreams can be given substance. This season allows us to appreciate the solid foundations we have built in our lives and gives us space to think about our next steps. What will they look like?
Ways to welcome Capricorn energy:
· Make time for contemplation The season provides time to turn inwards. How can you slow down and tap into your inner wisdom?
· Celebrate your achievements: What have you moved through over the course of this year? Celebrate your wins and any challenges you have overcome.
· Consider boundary setting: Do you need to say no more to things that drain or distract you? What healthy boundaries can you put in place for 2025?
· Embrace structure and routine: Would having more structure in your life help you to feel more grounded and organised? Consider how you could build new routines to help create this. Make a plan!
· Set your intentions: This season is perfect for sowing intentions. The new moon on 30th December, right before we begin the new calendar year, is an optimum time for this.
Find your footing
The season of Capricorn holds the liminal space between one calendar year and the next. We can think of this an opportunity to nourish our roots and come back to what helps us to feel grounded as we move with the shifts.
It is a transitional space that provides the perfect opportunity to find your footing and hold steady.
