Capricorn December 2024

Capricorn, buckle up, as December 2024 brings a cosmic wave of introspection and transformation your way. This month is marked by significant retrograde activity, with Mars and Mercury both appearing to move backward, prompting a personal overhaul as you prepare to step into a new year and eventually, new planetary cycles in 2025.

 Mars begins its retrograde journey in your eighth house on December 7, putting the spotlight on your shared resources, intimacy, and personal transformation. This is a time to review your course of action and make necessary changes to old patterns, especially those connected to your deep-seated fears, vulnerabilities, and frustrations. You may find yourself reevaluating your intimate relationships, financial partnerships, and your approach to personal growth.

During Mars retrograde, Capricorn, you have a unique opportunity to transform and empower yourself. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by challenges to your power and control, proactively reflect on your actions and realign with your divine strength. Keep a look out for my blog on this transit coming out early December. 

Rather than reacting to feelings of distance or lack of support in your intimate relationships, use this time to foster open communication and mutual understanding with your partner. Engage in self-care to manage fears and anxieties, and view this period as a psychological rebirth. By taking a proactive approach, you can emerge from this retrograde with renewed intimacy, stronger connections, and a clear course of action for when Mars moves direct again in February. Embrace this time to grow and show the world the true depth of your resilience and power.

 Manifestation Tips this month:
  • Dive into my comprehensive guide on the co-creative power of Mercury Retrogrades to learn how to navigate this energy deliberately and constructively. 

  • Engage in my guided practice to co-create with the Mercury Retrograde.

  • Spend time journaling, meditating, or engaging in activities that help you reflect on your fears, vulnerabilities, and personal growth. Set aside a specific time each day for introspection.

  • Schedule regular check-ins with your partner to discuss your emotions and any issues that arise.

  • Engage in self-care activities to manage fears and anxieties. This could include yoga, deep breathing exercises, or any activity that helps you relax and rejuvenate. Create a self-care calendar with daily activities.

  • Utilize the new moon on December 31 to set deeply personal intentions for the next twelve months. Focus on what aligns with your authentic self. Write down your intentions and place them somewhere visible, like on your mirror or desk.

The current Mercury retrograde in your twelfth house (Nov 26 – Dec 16) is urging you to turn inward and reflect on your spiritual path, subconscious mind, and private world. This is an opportunity to readjust your personal truth and perspective. You may find solace in revisiting old dreams, secrets, and hidden emotions. Pay close attention to your intuition, as it will guide you through this period of introspection. You can read more about this transit in my blog: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Journey of Truth and Expansion. 

Together, these two transits create an environment ripe for profound introspection. You may find that exploring your intimate connections, financial partnerships and sense of power and control leads you to confront and heal old emotional wounds or reevaluate your spiritual path. Conversely, your inner reflections and revised personal truths may empower you to make significant changes in how you approach intimacy and vulnerability. By paying close attention to your intuition and the emotions that surface during this time, you can gain valuable insights, fostering a more authentic and integrated sense of self.

The month concludes with a powerful new moon in your sign on December 31, offering you a cosmic boost to set deeply personal intentions for the next twelve months. This new moon is not just about making New Year’s resolutions; it’s deeply connected to the core of who you are and is about planting seeds for personal growth and transformation. Tap into your inner realm and connect with your true essence. What do you yearn for? What brings you a sense of fulfillment and purpose? Use this energy to set intentions that align with your authentic self.

Looking ahead, Mars will complete its retrograde in Cancer on February 24, 2025, and soon after, on March 2, Venus will move retrograde in Aries, overlapping with another Mercury retrograde in the same sign. The transformative journey you’re embarking on this December will set the stage for the personal evolution that will unfold over the next six months and is preparing you for a progressive year next year. This is all happening in preparation for significant cycle changes in 2025, with Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter all changing signs. Our lives will be very different by the end of next year.

To create meaningful, positive change in your external world, you must first make meaningful, positive changes to your inner reality. To live a different life, you must first become the person who embodies that life internally. Embrace the deep, introspective work offered by the four upcoming retrogrades between now and April’s end. The more intentional you are about this internal growth, the more profound and beneficial the outcomes will be, especially in light of the significant transits slated for later in 2025.

Stay grounded, stay true to yourself, and embrace the transformative energy of December. Your evolution is in process, and the universe is conspiring to help you grow and thrive. Happy holidays, Capricorn! Make this a December to remember.

I embrace my vulnerabilities as strengths and empowering myself to take control of my personal growth. I am a beacon of resilience and inner power, capable of navigating challenges with grace and emerging stronger and more authentic.
