Capricorn Season Horoscopes
This Capricorn season is packed with significant transits. Mars is still retrograde in Leo where it will face off Pluto in Aquarius on January 2nd, leading to massive power struggles between you and others. Mars in Leo may have you fighting for recognition, striving for significance and wanting your contributions to be recognized by the greater society you exist in.
Mars will continue its retrograde into Cancer on January 7th. Mars in Cancer represents a more conservative set of values. With this placement, you may be fighting to defend, protect, or maintain what you believe is rightfully yours (maybe in the form of resources, positions of power, or even people and relationships).
The key to Mars retrograde is to understand that conflict can be generative. The more we fight for something, the better we’re able to understand what it is we actually want and why we want it in the first place. Maybe the lesson is to better know what we want. Maybe what we thought we wanted isn’t actually worth the fight. Or maybe it is, and we’re learning how to fight and assert ourselves more effectively in order to get what we want.
With the Full Moon in Cancer on January 13th, reflect on an intention you set in July of 2024 in the area of life represented by Cancer. How are some of these themes coming back up for you with Mars retrograde? How is what you manifested in July now something that you’re having to fight for or defend? Or maybe it’s something that you have to reassess or re-evaluate why you wanted in the first place. How is what’s coming up in this season something that might flourish or manifest in greater abundance once Jupiter moves into Cancer in June of this year?
See below for how this Capricorn Season will affect your sign (for the most accurate horoscope, look at your Rising sign, but Sun signs and Moon signs also work)
