Welcome, Capricorn Season and happy winter Solstice! Today, the Sun moves into the zodiac sign of Capricorn, signaling winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. Solstice, which means “Sun stands still,” represents that point in the year when the Earth's north pole is tilted the farthest away from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere (and the longest day/shortest night for those in the Southern Hemisphere).
Capricorn Season is the perfect time to slow down, turn within, and reflect on the foundations of our lives. Capricorn invites us to be thoughtful, grounded, and focused. Initiating the Winter Solstice Capricorn encourages us to reflect on the past year: What has 2025 taught you? In what areas of your life have you grown? Capricorn inspires us to use these reflections and build for the future: What are you ready to release? What do you hope to cultivate in 2026? Capricorn, the mythical Sea-Goat, is steady, sturdy, and creative, offering both tenacity and inspiration. Capricorn brings focus and drive, encouraging us to work steadily towards our goals but to do so with imagination, gratitude, and joy. Capricorn asks us to ground ourselves and build strong, flexible foundations. Things to do during Capricorn season: Celebrate the return of the light. Ground yourself. Take a mindful walk. Drink lots of water. Reevaluate your budget and set a financial plan. Practice Yin yoga. Question authority. Make a yule log. Laugh. Reexamine your priorities and set new goals. Take a hike. Climb a mountain. Stretch yourself.
