The winter solstice has finally arrived, and it’s officially winter! It sure feels like it has been for a while, as it does every year-in our lives, the weather is what really marks the transition from fall to winter. But on a cosmic scale, the solstice matters. The solstice is a great time for celebrating the season and setting goals, but most people will be saving those activities for December 25th and 31st. So, what else is there to think about during this time? Well, the sun shifted into Capricorn yesterday. A transition on the solstice is significant, and it means that we could feel the effects more strongly than usual. So, what should you expect while the sun is in Capricorn? Read on to find out.
- You’ll feel inspired to take a serious look at your life.
This is partly due to the time of year, but it’s also due to the symbolism of the sun during the solstice. The sun making a transition into a new sign while the world around you gets colder and darker. The sun has to fight back against the darkness, and you need to fight back against any obstacles in your life. This is a good time to spend in some serious reflection and planning. You don’t have to change everything, but there will probably be areas of your life where you do need to reevaluate things.
- You won’t be afraid of hard work.
Capricorn is well known for being such a hardworking sign. Their work ethic is definitely admirable, and we could all take a few lessons from the Capricorns in our lives. When the sun is in Capricorn, we’ll all get a little motivational boost, and we’ll feel better about taking on difficult projects or completing challenging work-even if that work involves self-improvement! The early days of this transition are the perfect time to make resolutions because of your positive attitude towards hard work.
- You’ll also see the value of relaxing during the holidays.
Because Capricorn is such a hard worker, they can be hard on themselves when they do choose to take time off and focus on their family and friends over work. But you should never beat yourself up over taking some much needed time off to enjoy with your loved ones instead of staying late in the office! The holidays are the perfect time to do that, so just embrace the time you have off, and spend it doing whatever makes you happy.
- You’ll feel confident and optimistic about the new year.
2016 was a rough year for everyone, it seems-it was definitely full of unexpected challenges and surprises. But when the sun transitions into Capricorn, you’ll feel motivated to take on 2017. This is because Capricorn feels that their future is in their hands, and that what happens in their life is not the result of external circumstances, but their own actions. If you approach life this way, there’s nothing you can’t do.
