The Sun moved out of the optimistic, free
flying, happy-go-lucky sign of Sagittarius and has moved into the more
cautious, calculated and career minded sign of Capricorn (at approximately 11
a.m. EST on December 21, 2017). Remember
the Sun has an orb of influence of about 16 degrees, so if you are born on the
cusp even as far in as 2-3 degrees Capricorn, you will be influenced in part by
the formative Capricorn traits but also be influenced with the optimistic
approach to life associated with Sagittarius’ energies and this is just your
sun sign influence.
Those with their Sun in Capricorn know what
it takes to be successful, whether this is through their life’s duties and
career potential or whether this is through their obligations and financial
responsibilities to their family. Capricorn
individuals are steadfast in their approach to life and will work diligently
towards goals they set for themselves. This
is a resilient Zodiac sign that is able to withstand the pressures of life and
although they are emotional, these emotions are not easily expressed. Capricorn individuals feel things on an
intense level from within.
Capricornians’ need for achievement (which
is very prevalent in most earth signs) often puts them in a leadership role or
at least puts them in a position of authority.
They also respect authority and achievement. They understand intuitively what it takes to
move up the ladder of success. They
respect authority because they respect hard work in others as much as they pursue
this themselves. The “tried, tested and
true” is what they adhere to.
Laziness and poor judgement does not sit
well with Capricorns.
Transiting Saturn will be moving into the
sign of Capricorn towards the end of 2017 and will remain in the first 10 to 11
degrees of Capricorn for most of 2018.
Saturn is at home in its natural rulership sign and for those with their
Sun in the early to mid-degrees of Capricorn may find this year to be a year of
achievement and corporate recognition for the work that they have been doing in
the past. Much, of course, will depend
on the overall condition of Saturn in your natal chart and the aspects to the natal
Sun. Check your chart or ask as
Astrology to check which house that Saturn will be transiting through to hone
in on the area of life that will be highlighted for you specifically.
It takes about 2 ½ years for Saturn to move
through a sign and those with Saturn in the sign of Capricorn in their birth
charts will be experiencing their Saturn return (ages 29, 58 and 87). The Saturn return is an extremely important
period in life when we often experience life changing events, often
challenging, but when we move through this time in our lives we come out
stronger and changed on a permanent basis - for the better. This is a maturity period especially the
first return at 29. Most individuals will
feel the energies as much as a year before the actual return to the birth
position.
Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is all
about structure and stability that is maintained through constant effort and a
building process that encourages strength and solidity often after hard work
and a disciplined approach. Get ready
for more responsibilities and opportunities to learn. Saturn is the teacher and the disciplinarian
but also offers rewards for hard work and diligent efforts.
