From December 21, 2024, to January 19, 2025, the Sun travels through Capricorn, the zodiac’s hardworking mountain goat. Capricorn doesn’t go for quick fixes or trendy fluff; instead, it savors what’s sturdy and timeless—think a classically tailored sweater or the satisfaction of a perfectly blocked scarf.

This Saturn-ruled sign loves building strong foundations. Like starting a knitting project with perfectly cast-on stitches, Capricorn season is about making steady progress toward goals that will last for decades. This industrious energy encourages us to scale steep, snowy peaks rather than coast down easy slopes. Capricorn may get a reputation for being a “grinch,” but it’s quietly graceful and has a soft, cozy side—perfect for curling up with a beanie project or reflecting on your next big move.

Capricorn season kicks off today with the December Solstice, inviting you to slow down, reflect, and prioritize what matters most. And on December 30, the New Moon in Capricorn offers the ultimate cosmic reset. This “Black Moon” (the second new moon of December) is a major manifestation moment—ideal for setting goals aligned with your values. Treat it like a business meeting with the universe!

Start small: like knitting one row at a time, strategic micro-moves lead to monumental outcomes. Not sure where to begin? Reassess your motivations and let go of what no longer serves you. It’s time to unravel expectations from others and cast on your dreams. Remember: the best projects—and legacies—are stitched with integrity and care.

Good news: Mercury exits its post-retrograde shadow on January 3, clearing up lingering tangles. By then, your intentions will be well on their way to becoming a masterpiece!
