12/21/21 ✨ Capricorn Season Starts!
✨ Happy Mars Day!
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: Darkness allows me to see my light.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
☀️SUN ➡️CAPRICORN ♑️ (WINTER SOLSTICE AT 7:58 AM PT)
The sun moves from expansive Sagittarius to ambitious Capricorn. Over the next month, our focus will be on our long-term goals and responsibilities. The goat of the zodiac climbs to success one practical step at a time. This is the time to lay a sturdy foundation for the year ahead. You might have money on the mind as Capricorn energy puts our focus on investment and wealth.
SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THE WINTER SOLSTICE
On the darkest day of the year, we are asked to find the light within. It’s during this time of year that many cultures believe the Mother gave birth to the Sun— or the Divine Feminine gave brith to the Divine Masculine. In Egypt, it was Isis who birthed the sun god, Horus. In Greek mythology, Apollo was born. In Christianity, the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus just days after the solstice. After the longest night, our sun is reborn too, beginning to bring more and more light with it every day. This is a time to plant seeds that will bloom in the Spring by connecting to your own light.

THE MOON:
🌖WANING GIBBOUS MOON IN CANCER ♋️
The waning moon’s last stretch through Cancer is the perfect opportunity for an emotional release. Even if you’re not feeling overwhelmed or upset, take note of any tension. How are you guarding your heart? You must find safety within yourself before you can truly nurture others.
♋️MOON OPPOSITE ♑️PLUTO (4:00 AM PT)
The Cancer moon opposes Pluto in Capricorn, starting our day with intense emotions that might feel extreme. One moment, we could feel totally secure and the next, we could be spiraling. Remember, discomfort can help you grow.
♋️MOON OPPOSITE ♑️VENUS (r) (6:00 AM PT)
Meanwhile, the moon opposite Venus makes us feel needy and crave comfort. We could be tempted to spend money or reach for food to feel pleasure. With Venus retrograde, don’t text your ex in a moment of weakness…
♋️MOON QUINCUNX ♒️JUPITER (10:00 AM PT)
The moon’s imbalanced angle to Jupiter might make it feel difficult to get out of your comfort zone or expand your horizons. This transit can also prompt an excess of emotions as these two energies try to find common ground.
🌖WANING GIBBOUS MOON ➡️LEO ♌️ (2:00 PM PT)
The waning moon enters Leo by early afternoon, helping us get in touch with our inner-child. When the moon is in Leo, we’re nurtured by our passions. Our emotions can feel more dramatic under this moon and we might be more prideful. Creativity can be an effective release.
♌️MOON SEXTILE ♊️NORTH NODE AND QUINCUNX ♑️ SUN (2:00 PM PT)
As the moon enters Leo, it gets support from the North Node, which is in the first degrees of Gemini. The North Node moves into Taurus tomorrow, so this transit gives us one last glimpse of the direction our lives took over the past 18 months. At the same time, the Leo moon forms an imbalanced angle to the Capricorn sun, which could bring feelings of awkwardness. It might feel like you don’t know who you’ll be in the next chapter or what your purpose is. And that’s okay.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
On this Winter Solstice, we experience the longest night of the year. As we become aware of the darkness, we are invited to find our own inner light. Today also marks the first day of Capricorn season, putting the focus on laying the foundation for a successful future. Over the next month, our goals for the new year will be top of mind… especially when it comes to our career and wealth. The Cancer moon makes a few challenging connections to start the day. Try not to let your emotions get the best of you. The moon moves into Leo this afternoon, illuminating our inner-child. If you feel a little lost or like you’re not sure which direction to take, let go of pride and allow the Universe to show you the way.
