12/21/22 ✨ Capricorn Season Begins
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
SUN IN CAPRICORN | MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: In the darkness, I am the light.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
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 birth 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, bringing more and more light with it every day. This is a time to plant seeds that will bloom in the Spring. Honor the dark and send light ahead for your blossoming.
☀️ SUN ➡️ CAPRICORN ♑️ (1:49 PM 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— just in time to set New Year’s Resolutions! 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.
♑️ SUN SQUARE ♈️ JUPITER (0º) 4:50 PM PT
Our confidence gets a major boost with the sun forming a square to optimistic Jupiter. But too much of a good thing could get you into a challenging situation- especially with both of these planets at 0º. Don’t overextend your energy today- It will be easy to take on more than we can handle or overestimate our own power. This transit could also make us feel a little self-righteous- our need to be right could interfere with our ability to see a higher perspective. Failing to check our own ego could create challenges or block what we truly want to call in.

🌘 WANING CRESCENT MOON IN SAGITTARIUS ♐️
The waning moon in Sagittarius brings a craving for freedom and expansion. We can expect to be more social, outgoing, and generous over the coming days. Optimism feels natural under the Sagittarius moon, making us more spontaneous and confident.
♐️ MOON OPPOSITE ♊️ MARS rx AND TRINE ♈️ CHIRON rx (11º) 6:00 PM PT
Triggers could surface as the moon opposes Mars, but so could healing opportunities with a simultaneous harmony to Chiron. Under this make-or-break transit, our anger or frustration can lead us directly to the wound that is asking to be healed.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
On the darkest day of the year, we experience a turning point. In astrology, the Winter Solstice marks the sun’s transition from outgoing and optimistic Sagittarius to cold and practical Capricorn. As we head into Winter, Capricorn season helps us plant the seeds in the dark for our future success to bloom when light returns in Spring. As soon as the sun moves into Capricorn, it makes a tense 90º square to Jupiter in Aries, pushing us to grow and evolve. We have ample confidence today, but it’s all too easy to overestimate ourselves or overextend our energy. The Sagittarius moon reminds us to surrender and have faith in a plan greater than we can understand right now. Connections between the moon, Mars, and Chiron could bring up triggering moments this evening. Let frustration shine light on wounds asking to be healed. As the sun stands still, this is a day to slow down and find our own light in the darkness.
