Haaaappy Solstice! You have made it through the darkest part of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere) and are now returning to light.
What dark shadows do you feel like you have moved through in the last few months?
What are you hoping to bring light and levity to?
The Winter Solstice means we are now entering into Capricorn season-and it’s time to get serious. Not stiff and stuffy, but seriously committed to you and what you want “you” to mean during this season.
Beyond the Solstice and the Sun’s movement into Capricorn, the other major transits are a Mercury-Neptune square, Venus’ move into Aquarius, a square between Venus and Uranus, and a Mars-Pluto sextile.
The push and pull we are dealing with, this week, is between the “reality” we’ve been fed and the “reality” we’re constantly creating for ourselves.
Resse Evans of Yes Supply and I discuss “practicality”s place in manifestation and the magical at length in the fresh content that drops this Saturday in the Manifestation Project.
One of the things Reese said on this subject that really stuck with me was, “Logic can only be pulled from what you’ve learned in the finite amount of time you’ve lived. Intuition is coming from the infinite.”
This week, pay attention to when you use what you’ve seen or been told so far on Earth to limit yourself, and, on the other side of the coin, when you let yourself float away with your ideal visions when the material is telling you things aren’t flowing.
For more information on how the energy of this week may impact you more specifically, read the horoscopes for your Sun, Moon and Rising signs below, and then put your response (answer to one of the questions posed in the text, general thoughts, affirmations, goals for this week, or whatever else you want) in the response box below the ‘scope!

Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Happy Solar Return, Capricorn. You have worked so hard this year and deserve to celebrate how far you’ve come. When you take stock of what you’ve accomplished, you often forget to include the intangible-the fact that you have evolved in your mindset, routines, habits, and emotional maturity and durability as well as your work and relationships. Think back to this time last year and the type of mental and emotional situation you were in. How will you celebrate this homecoming (of which there will be many more)? And, how will you let people witness you as you do it?
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Venus moves into your sign, this week (12/19), to sweeten things up for you. You often choose to brave things alone and intellectualize away the hard things you feel. Now is not the time for this nonsense! Venus is here to teach you how to lean into the support and safety you have cultivated in your life. This can be a fun, sensual process that can look any way you want, but it’s your time to ask for what you need and practice initiating this kind of exchange!
Pisces
(Feb.19-March 20)
This time of year often produces a low-level anxiety around not doing well enough or feeling like you’re always forgetting something. This year, create intentions for how you want to show up that take your capacity and comfort into consideration. The intention could be as simple as “be present.” This way, whenever you’re feeling frantic, you can check in with your goal and settle into the knowledge that everything is happening as it should. All of your so called “mistakes” are a perfect part of that rhythm. Do what you can do with all of you intact and offer up the rest to what’s bigger than you.
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
While most people slow down and wait for the new year to change their routines during this time or year, now is your most potent time. Don’t feel pressured by culture and tradition to quiet the ideas that are coming to the surface. At this time, rest and peace are a crucial part of your process, but they are not the entirety of it. How can you create time in your days and weeks now to get a better understanding of what it is you WANT out of your life in general and what that means for what you should be pursuing now?
Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
It’s time to change your story, Taurus. Whatever you look for evidence of is what you will find evidence of, and the truth you’ve been running with is not helping you progress. If the world were your playground, what would you want to be true about your success, your relationships, etc? What would it look like to act like these are already the truths that exist? Try and commit to “acting as if,” this week, if only as an experiment, and see what happens.
Gemini
(May 21-June 21)
If you have felt like the universe has been playing a trick on you or you’ve been wary of trusting your higher guidance, it’s time to move on. Remember that you’re a Gemini-no one can play you. You can only play yourself. So, how have you been building roadblocks, lately, and shying away from the practices that help you remain healthy and successful? What resources have been offered to you or are just within reach that you haven’t made use of? This week, make an effort to call your power back and claim exactly where you are, and set some intention for where you’re going.
Cancer
(June 22-July 22)
The Sun shining directly across from you can feel confusing. You might not know what’s happening in your relationships or in your own brain. To combat this disorienting feeling, return each day to what inspires you and makes you feel confident in your abilities. Maybe that practice is writing, singing, dancing, talking, etc. Figure out what helps you come home to yourself and make it a non-negotiable routine.
Leo
(July 23-Aug. 22)
It can be hard to keep up with all of the things on your to-do list. Sometimes it can feel like the tasks never end, and they don’t! The thing about life is that it’s just a big series of tasks and to-dos, and that won’t change. The only thing that will is your attitude and approach to them. In every annoying situation you have an opportunity to test yourself in practicing what you preach. Keep your tools close by, this week, and by the Eclipses you will be a master at managing your mood.
Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
I invite you to push one of your biggest commitments right off of your plate, this week. The panic and pressure of feeling like you need to do more is because you’re investing your energy in something that is both unfulfilling and time-consuming, and that is a lethal combination. Take whatever remotely feels like it checks those two boxes and make a plan to extricate yourself from it asap. The space created from this action will bring in something new and more beautiful.
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
How much of you keeping yourself small is to not make waves in your family (of-origin, or chosen)? How often do you worry about what specific people you know will say about what you want to do and how you want to do it? Relationships should be spaces of unyielding support when it comes to taking risks and trusting yourself and your path. If you feel like there are connections that give you more stress than support, this week is a good time to reconsider them and take the space you need to re-group and make the decision that’s best for you.
Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This time of year can make you harden in response to feeling like you need to explain yourself to people who don’t understand you. The toll the process of communicating in these interactions takes on you is optional. This year, accept the challenge of using the dynamics that question you to get stronger in your convictions and even better at communicating them. See these interactions as blessed and necessary for you to learn how to invest in your feelings about what you’re doing instead of taking anyone else’s on.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your season has come to an end, and this is the planting stage. You saw and took inventory of your last trip ‘round the Sun, and now is the time to plant the seeds you want to blossom, now. What kind of nurturing will these ideas and visions you’re planting need? What kind of nurturing will you need to tend to them? Now is the time to ground into your aspirations and deepen your sense of self-worth so things can come to you smooth and fast.
