Capricorn season is upon us; its time to close out 2021 and ground ourselves for whatever 2022 throws our way. Much like the sign’s symbol, the sea goat (a half goat, half fish creature), this season can be elusive and tricky for most signs. Known for being driven and realistic, with slow-to-trust and sensitive qualities, Capricorns implore us to buckle down, plan, and make the most of a much-needed boost to our intuition this month. If harnessing your inner sea goat seems intimidating, fear not. Read on for sign-specific tips to help you navigate Capricorn season, and recommendations for what to watch to soothe the universe’s energy.
Stand tall, shine bright, and be bold, Capricorn. It’s your season after all. Let others get to know the real you that’s thoughtful, protective, and always striving for the best. Seize the season and make the most of the stars in your alignment. Oh, and happy birthday!
