By Astrologer and Psychic Victoria Bearden
December 2019 ends with a meaningful message from the Universe. Wake up! It’s time for a breakthrough in our consciousness. The planetary vibration of Capricorn is front and center, and understanding Capricorn themes is essential now, both personally, and globally. Saturn and Pluto are coming together in their fateful alignment as we end this year and begin the new one. This is a critical juncture in our collective reality, as we humans struggle with our karmic angels and demons. You will see a lot of doom and gloom out there from astrologers and psychics, which in my humble opinion is not helping at all. If we are at a tipping point, let’s tip things in the right direction! 2020 is a big deal, as we are confronted with the need to transform. The way to insure the best possible outcome is through positive thought and action. Our destiny is not predetermined, unless we believe it is.
Earth Sign Capricorn symbolizes our goals and ambitions. It represents our ability to be mature, responsible, and wise in our assessment of our lives and the world we live in. With a realistic attitude, we can harness this power to remove obstacles and gather resources to advance our plans. The challenges arise when our fears stop us from taking positive action. The best way to use this energy is to focus, organize, and mobilize. When thinking about your goals, be specific. Ask Spirit and your Higher Self for clarity, and then follow through on your insights. If you are not sure of what to do, get guidance from a trusted advisor so you can get your priorities in order. With Capricorn, less is always more. Make decisions about what is most important, and put the rest aside for now. Connect with others who are focusing on progress. We are definitely stronger together. It’s time to move some mountains.
Keywords for Capricorn include: focus, commitment, respect, work, diligence, perspective, leadership, temperance, responsibility, prudence, tradition, wisdom, devotion, and mentorship. The Sign of the Goat Fish is embodied by The Wise Elder, The Medicine Man or Woman, The Leader, The CEO, The Sensei, The Guru, The Ancestors, The Teacher, The Builder, and The Higher Self.
Negative Challenges of Capricorn Include: selfishness, negativity, prejudice, fear-based thinking, warmongering, dominance, narcissism, bigotry, clannishness, and narrow-mindedness. Negative Capricorn stereotypes include The Tyrant, The Bully, Big Brother, The Doubter, The Sycophant, The Misanthrope, The Egoist, and the Hater.
Jupiter goes into Capricorn on December 3, 2019. This influence will be in effect for the duration of 2020, so get ready to get busy! Jupiter is the principle of expansion and growth. It’s our ability to look at the big picture and understand the greater context of our lives. It’s also the “luck” factor and how it operates. When Jupiter is in Capricorn, we need to put our beliefs, ideas, and principles to the test. The Cap vibration is one of focus and crystallization. Limitation becomes a friend, not a foe, as we find ways to use what we have to accomplish amazing things. Think of the TV character MacGyver, thinking outside the box and figuring out how to fix a computer with a paperclip. With Jupiter in Capricorn we are encouraged to “make our own luck.” So, don’t just sit there and wait for something to manifest. Get moving. Define your path for 2020 and commit to it. Narrow down your choices and stick with the one that is the soundest. Logic and necessity will be our truest guides. And don’t be afraid to tackle “the big stuff.” Patience, determination, and hard work will pay off. Jupiter starts its journey into Capricorn with a fortuitous trine to Uranus in Taurus, emphasizing the opportunity for progressive and sustainable changes.
There’s a Full Moon at 19° Gemini on December 11, 2019. Full Moons represent to sum total of experiences and actions from the previous cycle. Things come full circle and we enter a period of potential clarity and attainment. It is a magical moment of potency that can be harnessed for manifestation. Sometimes the intensity makes it hard to stay grounded. The Sun in Sagittarius can help us connect to higher wisdom. The Gemini Moon can bring us down to earth and give us ideas to use our insights in our regular lives. If we are open, we can receive wisdom and communicate it to others. A square to Neptune might require some fact-checking when making important decisions or statements, so keep that in mind. This Full Moon lines up with Donald Trump’s chart, so expect some “interesting” developments and tweets.
Winter Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere arrives on December 21, 2019, as the Sun enters Capricorn. This is the shortest day and longest night of the year. Winter Solstice is also known as Mid-Winter, and the hibernal solstice, corresponding with the Pagan celebration of Yule. It represents the end of the darkness and the return of the light or the rebirth of the Sun. There is a direct correlation between these ancient traditions and the birth of Jesus, the Son (Sun) of God. This is a time for self-reflection and introspection, but also a time for sharing and celebration. People all over the world will be acknowledging this turning point with bonfires and spiritual rites, so join in! The upcoming Solar Eclipse makes this Solstice even more meaningful.
There’s a New Moon and Solar Eclipse at 04° Capricorn on December 25-26, 2019. Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Cool Yule, and Happy Kwanza. This is really going to be something! Eclipses are always eventful and have a way of revealing underlying forces that are shaping our experience. The Sun and Moon in Capricorn line up with lucky Jupiter on this eclipse, opening up a doorway to insight, energy, success, and a renewed sense of purpose. The Eclipse degree is close to the Fixed Star Polis, sparking the release of positive and proactive energy. If ever there was a good time to write out intentions and affirmations, this would be it! Capricorns born on these days will have an important year ahead, full of changes and new opportunities.
Opportunity Days: December 4, 5, 9, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25 and 26
