December 2020 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December 2020

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until December 11th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.

You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From December 12th forward:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Eclipse

A Solar Eclipse Occurs on December 14th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar twelfth house. This indicates a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. These themes will be with you for the next six months.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until December 6th: 

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From December 7-31: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 14th:

Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

From the 14th forward:

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.

This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 11th: Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

From the 12th forward:

Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Overview Horoscope:

December 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:

Your inner world is a strong draw and area of focus this month, dear Capricorn, and a good part of you is likely to remain a little reserved or withdrawn until after the third week of December. There can be much focus on the past or emotional issues, but you’re building towards a far more active and involved phase as the month progresses.

Your imagination serves you well, and there can be a strong urge to do something out of the ordinary or to take affirmative action, particularly behind the scenes, around the home, or in your personal life. It's a little easier than usual to put your emotional needs first and put something that's been weighing you down behind you.

Home-related projects are in great shape. While things may have been sluggish in recent months, they're picking up speed now.

The Solar Eclipse on the 14th reinforces a need to look within. Current eclipses pull up important themes revolving around whether you're attending to a healthy work-rest balance. Hunches are powerful and hard to ignore, and feelings that come to you seemingly out of the blue or through dreams can change your outlook and push you along an entirely new path. Rest is in order, but so is mindful attention to your tasks and chores. The trick will be to find the right balance. You’re not exactly putting everything on hold, but there's a call to take more time for yourself to recharge.

This eclipse helps with the motivation and energy boost needed to deal with the past or private matters, let go of things you no longer need, and attend to your mental and emotional wellness. It's a great time to clear the decks.

A huge headline this month is about your planetary ruler, Saturn: it heads out of your sign on the 17th, this time for the longterm. It's bound to take some of the pressure off--you'll feel freer and lighter. You're getting serious about money, and this will be a theme for another couple of years (until 2023).

You're likely to see the solid benefits of work you’ve done in the past few years. Even though Saturn’s tour of your sign has helped you prioritize and take care of all sorts of practical odds and ends in your life, it can feel as if a weight lifts off you now that it's leaving.

This new Saturn transit will develop over time and is an important period for a more responsible and realistic approach to money and possessions. Belt-tightening is in order and very useful. It’s also a time to declutter, reduce waste, and make better use of your resources.

Jupiter moves into this same sector just two days later, also leaving your sign. This begins a theme of excellent lessons and benefits revolving around money, earnings, possessions, and personal talents. It's a fabulous time for building on existing resources, a business, or a project and enjoying the rewards of your past efforts. It can be a time of elevated confidence in yourself to manifest your desires.

Jupiter and Saturn join forces on the 21st, and your positive attitude and a sense of joy through increased responsibility and feeling on top of things can help you succeed. You're in great shape for self-discipline and efforts to realize a goal or dream related to money, things, talents, and personal income.

Certainly, your relationship with money and resources is changing. Your sense of abundance can evolve as well, as you see more value in what you have or identify things that are no longer boosting your sense of security. How you view your earning power, natural talents, and relationship with money can improve and change.

Mercury heads into your sign on the 20th and the Sun on the 21st. You're in a better and clearer headspace for making important decisions and beginning new projects. Until then, aim to take the time to think things through. Wrapping up projects can figure strongly.

In the last ten days of December, you have more confidence or desire to interact. You're a self-starter and could benefit from doing some studying. You’re in great shape for gathering valuable resources and information. You're getting more attention at this time. The Full Moon on the 29th can stir epiphanies in your personal life and awareness of relationship needs. It might bring a personal project or relationship to bloom.
