Welcome to the Cosmic Style Guide for Capricorn Season! This is your monthly check-in with the current zodiac season and how you can work it IRL.
I’m Leah, your personal cosmic stylist.
Today we’re talking about:
Capricorn Season - who is she?
Astrologically aligned to-dos for the season
How Capricorn looks and feels via the lens of style
Remember: No matter where Capricorn lands in your chart (or the planets you may or may not have there) when the sun is here, you have the opportunity to work with its magic in your own unique way.
Capricorn, who is she?
Sagittarius Season ideally helped us understand the vision of what we want to start creating in Cap season. We have to dream it to build it. Capricorn creates the container to keep that flame of Sag burning.
Element: Earth
Modality: Cardinal
Planetary Ruler: Saturn
Symbol: The Sea Goat
The initiatory, inspired, proactive cardinal qualities meet the tangible, material, practical qualities of Earth in Capricorn and are ready to get shit done.
Capricorn is THE self-starter of the zodiac.
Capricorns know the rules inside out and tend to work with them. As one of my teachers, Austin Coppack says, “it’s easier to climb the mountain than move it.”
Deeply understanding, intuitive, and resourceful, Capricorns make magic by using what they have to create regenerative systems and structures that last.
Saturn, Baby
(In my head this is to the tune of Santa Baby.)
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn — the taskmaster, time keeper, and accountability buddy of the zodiac.
She’s the planetary archetype that’s associated with responsibility and hard work as well as reaping the hard-earned rewards.
As a Saturn-ruled sign, Cap encourages us to establish, fortify, and/or improve the structures in our lives — be it in the form of schedules, containers, boundaries, systems, habits, and/or routines.
Because Saturn is currently in Pisces we’re collectively in a time of negotiating our relationship to structures in way that’s more fluid and regenerative. Releasing rigidity and embracing transformation that’s fortified by what came before.
But one thing to remember about Cap is they’re not all business. (That’s just the colonial capitalist white supremecist patriarchy filter.)
Because they know the rules so well, they also know which ones to break and when — making them some of the best co-conspirators when looking to stage a heist, play hooky, or throw a ranger.
Don’t forget to let your party goat out and let loose this Capricorn Season, too.
In Cap Season we’re in it for a the sustainable and manageable progress and growth, which means you’re willing to settle in for the long-haul, take breaks, and enjoy yourself along the way, too.
Let Capricorn guide us in all things proactive, ambitious, resourceful, and slow-burning.
