Capricorn Season

Feel the Feels and Climb the Mountain: Your Weekly Horoscope for December 16-22, 2024

This week, the cosmos is practically begging us to slow down, reevaluate, and get our priorities in order. From the cozy vibes of a Cancer Moon to the sobering entry of the Sun into Capricorn, there’s a lot to unpack. Oh, and let’s not forget Jupiter Retrograde playing the role of the “philosophical professor” in our lives. Buckle up, buttercup, because this week is all about recalibrating your life compass—without getting lost in the fog.

New Year, New You: How the Capricorn New Moon and Saturn Can Supercharge Your Goals

The New Moon in Capricorn arrives just as we begin to feel the buzz of New Year’s energy. Resolutions are being whispered, calendars are being purchased, and everyone is thinking about what the next 12 months might hold. This is Capricorn’s domain—big-picture thinking paired with the grit to make things happen. But this year’s New Moon has an extra twist: a supportive sextile to Saturn in Pisces. It’s not just about ambition, it’s about ambition with heart, intention, and willingness to grow.

The Tower of Babel’s Life Lessons: What Capricorn Season Teaches Us About Ambition and Success

When the Sun moves into Capricorn, we enter a season of ambition, perseverance, and some good old-fashioned “get your act together” energy. If Sagittarius season felt like a wild road trip full of big dreams, Capricorn is here to remind us that the car won’t go far without gas, a map, and a plan. This is the sign of the mountain goat, after all, always climbing higher, one careful step at a time. But let’s not overlook Capricorn’s mythical side—it’s not just about spreadsheets and five-year plans. Today, we’ll talk about how the Tower of Babel ties into Capricorn season and what it can teach us about ambition, responsibility, and staying grounded while reaching for the stars (but not too far).

Astrology Forecast for the Week of January 17, 2022 through January 23, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of January 17, 2022 through January 23, 2022 features a Full Moon in Cancer, Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, a Sun-Mercury conjunction, and the end of Capricorn as we usher in Aquarius season.

There is not much planetary action this week, so let’s dive in.

Cosmic Overview

The Full Moon occurs in Cancer this week at 6:48 PM EST/3:48 PM PST. This Full Moon is potent because it opposes Pluto in Capricorn. The Full Moon opposing Pluto can bring up toxic familial drama or emotional situations where you have lost your power to deal with them internally or externally. Full Moons are emotionally intense, but this one is off the chain. So, get prepared!

Astro Magic Pro Tip:

Cancer Full Moons are an auspicious time to work through family of origin issues or to let go of emotional pain and hurts. It’s also an excellent time for healing work and ridding yourself of health issues. So, if you need to let go of something emotional, this is the Full Moon to get it done, once and for all.

The Astrology Forecast for the Week of January 10, 2022 – January 16, 2022

The astrology forecast for the week of January 10, 2022 through January 16, 2022 features three major aspects (Sun trine Neptune, Mars square Neptune, and the Sun conjoined to Pluto) and Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius.

So, with all the Neptunian energy and with the inclusion of Mercury retrograde, make sure you verify everything before making decisions, because the truth may be elusive and hard to grasp.

Let’s dive into the forecast!

Cosmic Overview:

This week, Mercury joins the love goddess (Venus) by turning retrograde in Aquarius on Friday morning. Mercury will remain retrograde until February 3, 2022.

At its root, the sign of Aquarius is about how we can improve our lives. Aquarius is about progress and pushing society forward, rather than staying stuck in the present or being bound to the past. Mercury moving through Aquarius augurs a time when we should focus on areas where we can improve our lives or focus on what needs to be fixed or repaired. Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius helps us look at the decisions and choices we have made over the past three months that may be preventing our growth. This gives us the chance to course correct if necessary. The silver lining is that with Mercury being retrograde, we can see the areas that need to be fixed easier.

Mercury retrogrades before it can complete its conjunction to Saturn, but it will remain within orb for the next week. Mercury conjoined to Saturn is frustrating and can lead to negative mindsets. It may be difficult to communicate and express yourself to others. So, try to push away negative thoughts as they surface, and you may need to practice some self-care to manage your emotions.

Otherwise, traditional Mercury retrograde warnings are applicable. Make sure you back up electronic devices, finalize plans, and sign documents before the retrograde begins. Here is a checklist to help you during the retrograde cycle.

Mercury Rx Dirty Dozen! Tips and Tricks to Wrangling the Trickster God

Let’s begin with the recommendations (Notice I didn’t use the lists of should or should not? Mainly because we should never should on ourselves).

Make sure you go over anything contractual thoroughly. Make sure all the i’s are dotted, and all the t’s are crossed. If you can get away with it, wait until after the retrograde is over to sign on the dotted line.
Avoid starting anything new. New projects tend to have communication problems and mishaps when initiated during this process.
Put a watch on your tongue. (If it is not worth saying, don’t say it)
Check your vehicles for any potential problems. Before Mercury goes retrograde, is the best time for a service call.
Avoid buying real estate or renting apartments. Usually, this means you will move again during a future Mercury Rx.
Using mail delivery services that offer tracking and insurance.
Check, recheck, and check again any travel plans you have or appointments on the books.
If you do travel, don’t take anything of importance or value. Only bring items that you do not care if they are lost or stolen.
Expect people from the past to resurface. However, once they crawl out of whatever cavern they came from, proceed with caution.
Back up all electronic devices.
Avoid buying an automobile.
Mercury Rx is an excellent time to scour places (online and offline) for great deals!

Now, that is some list. But, if you want to avoid the most annoying tricks Mercury has up his sleeve, it is wise to pay close attention and organize (Mercury loves that word) accordingly. As a side note, I have Mercury Rx Neutralizer Candles and Sprays available and stocked up. Get them while you can because they go FAST!

Astrology Forecast For the week of January 3, 2022 – January 9, 2022

So, it’s going to be a light week in the cosmos, and since Venus is the only planet making aspects, let’s dive into the daily breakdown.
