Capricorn Energy: Astrology for Career & Life Clarity

Learning about your personal astrology (through your birth chart) can be key to understanding your unique gifts, challenges and what life and work paths will ultimately bring you the most joy.

In addition, attuning to the energy of the astrological seasons provide both a spiritually-aligned focus for the month and invites more intuition, ease and flow into our day-to-day activities.

In this blog series I share more about the strengths and shadows of each zodiac sign, plus some activities to help you utilize the sign’s energy.

CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19
Symbol: The Sea Goat / Element: Earth / Mode: Fixed

What we most often are shown is the cold, hard, even heartless side of Capricorn. But this is not the sign's true nature.

Capricorn is here to teach us how to connect to and harness thepower of the unseen world and bring it into the seen world. This sign above all others helps us ground the spiritual into reality.

The Sea-Goat reminds us that we are spiritual beings having a human experience (we too are "impossible" creatures), and that all the money, fame and power in the 3D world means nothing if it’s not underpinned by a greater connection to self and to spirit.

Strategies of Capricorn:

Ambitious and goal-oriented
Practical
Grounded in reality (especially with finances and career)
Acts with integrity
Self-sufficient, able to be in solitude
Disciplined and patient

Shadows of Capricorn:

Overly practical, appears unemotional
Unable to go with the flow
Exploits others’ weaknesses
Hooked on social approval
Isolates self
Workaholic

How to utilize the Capricorn energy:

Start (or refresh) a daily meditation practice to connect more with the spiritual world.
Do some vision-boarding from a place of personal values.
Map out a plan of execution for a project that is important to you.
Organize your work space.
Look at the systems and structures in your life. Are these supporting you? Do they need an overhaul, or perhaps your re-commitment?
