A serious Capricorn Sun arrives on December 21 (West Coast) / December 22 ( East Coast) along with the celebrated Winter Solstice. As the year’s end approaches, mixed in with all the festivities, it’s the perfect time to look at what we’ve accomplished in 2011 and make plans for 2012. I love that whole “what’s next?” questioning process. A New Year, a blank calendar, great things are possible!
Capricorn, 10th sign of the Zodiac is an Earth sign ruled by the planet Saturn. It is traditional, grounded, likes structures and boundaries and has striving ambition. Being a “boss” is not a burden. Being in charge is welcome. Regardless of our birthday, we may all feel the influence of this sign and get a thrill directing traffic and telling people what to do. Fun for the boss, but maybe not so much for the employee? Remember to be careful with how you treat others, you can be authoritative with honey, rather than vinegar.
After all the excitement and activities of the holidays, there is no need to have an energy let down. Capricorn can keep us busy, accomplished and sensible. Re-goal yourself (I made this word up), tune up career moves, network in house, organize whatever needs to be shaped up. Make something happen. Just don’t get so bogged down that you become too rigid and/or too cautious. Relax, remember that you have a sense of humor – use it.

BTW: “The winter solstice occurs exactly when the Earth’s axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26′. Though the winter solstice lasts only a moment in time, the term is also a turning point to midwinter or the first day of winter…The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening of days.” (per WikiPedia)
