Capricorn

December 2024

You start this month off on the 1st with a New Moon in Sagittarius; stimulating your more dreamy side and reminiscing over how far your life has come over the past 12 months. You may not feel like talking to too many people for awhile, especially if they want to talk to you about their troubles. You won't be in the mood to do anything to help them (unless it's something very simple). You desire to use your time and energy taking care of yourself, and only yourself, for a couple of weeks. You'll do what you can when it comes to taking good care of children, but adults better watch out! You may find yourself in a bit more of a cranky mood because you desire others to be compassionate enough to realize what you're going through (internally) and how you feel; instead of others talking so much about themselves. This is a slower paced calming period of time; not just for you but for everyone, when Mars begins its retrograde motion on the 6th of December. The most challenging period of time may be from the 6th through the 15th when both Mercury and Mars are in retrograde motion at the same time! Mercury (communication) in Sagittarius (usually optimistic, but this year not so much because Jupiter (the ruling planet for Sagittarius) is also in retrograde motion; in the sign that Mercury rules over...Gemini) and Mars (energy) is in the sign of Leo (ruled by the Sun; with the Sun currently in the sign of Sagittarius making even the Sun seem so much dinner; and the weather being colder; like the moods people will be feeling!) Are you still following along? lol. To sum this all up in an easier manner what we have is a great need for patience. You can expect everything and everyone to feel extra Zapped on energy, especially you Capricorn until the Sun moves into your sign on the 21st. Preplanning is advised for any important events. In fact you may just feel like hibernating until Mars moves back into direct motion next year on February 23rd. In so many ways you may feel tapped out of energy, money, desire, passion, and patience. It's no use feeling frustrated. You'll just exhaust yourself more. It's better to focus your mind and heart on what you actually enjoy more! The wise turtle wins the race during times like this. Go slower, be mindful, while focusing on what you enjoy...then take a nap. Mercury moves back into direct motion on the 15th on the same day that the Full Moon arrives in the sign of Gemini! Communication will begin to improve which is a spark of hope! Even though people will feel tired, especially you, at least (hopefully) they won't be as cranky. Once the Sun moves into your sign on the 21st your Solar Power will return a little bit (even though Mars in Leo is still retrograde).. Step by step, little by little, do what you can and know that is enough. You'll really begin to feel happier once the 2nd New Moon of this month, a very blessed new moon indeed, arrives on the 30th in your sign of Capricorn! Make yourself a special Wish List of how you desire your life to go and flow over the course of the next 6-12 months! Then you can lock forward to the New Year of 2025 with a greater sense of optimism!
