Capricorn Season: An invitation to ground and build the foundations for your next chapter
Working with this energy + HD transits
The Sagittarius Season has left us with much needed faith, optimism, and a vision build on. On 22nd December, Sun moves into the sign of Capricorn and on the same day conjuncts with Mercury forming what we call in astrology a Cazimi. Cazimis are like lucky days in astrology and with Winter Solstice on 21-22nd December, there is opportunity for the coming days to receive more clarity about your visions. I shared about December astrology here:
You know when everything is in a blur and suddenly the signboard appears before you - AH! That Ah moment is what Sun-Mercury Cazimis are about.
It’d be a good idea to stay open and receptive to signs at this time from the Universe or simply from conversations and people around you.
For some, it could just be an unshakeable inner knowing of your next path.
Coming back to Capricorn Season, Capricorn is not an energy that plays you. It’s direct, it’s grounded and it’s substantial. You get what you see. There is no beating around the bush, no flakiness or wishy washiness.
Honestly, so many of us have been praying for this boring but grounded Mr.Darcy energy, Ha! (blame it on the holidays, I am on a Jane Austen marathon currently).
But for real, Capricorn does not like to keep you stuck or stagnant. Yes, it is slow and strategic like its fellow earth sign Taurus - but it’s still a cardinal sign you see. It moves. It takes steps. It is pragmatic and reasonable in its approach and it understands the value of each step on its way. It understands that yes Rome was not built in a day, but yet, it was built everyday.
Capricorn is not the energy which says - let’s have fun, let’s fool around, let’s explore.
It is a serious, wiser energy which likes to tell you exactly what is on their mind and heart and give you the plan and walk the talk (soo sexy!).
It is deep commitment at its foundation. It is deep loyalty to the dream.
What dreams have you you seen as the year closes by?
The Capricorn season will set them in motion.
The Capricorn Season will ask you to put in the work.
The Capricorn Season will also demand your 100% commitment.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and by now we know, Saturn is a taskmaster. It is the ultimate get-shit-done vibe. And so naturally, this can be a productive time for many of us where slowly, but steadily, things will manifest in tangible form - if you promise to stay committed.
Depending on your relationship with ‘work’, this can also be a time when some of you might go over the board and burn your self out - so please be mindful. Include some moments of fun and leisure to keep things interesting. Nonetheless, don’t shy away from work - be it in your work life or your personal life. And if the work really really is testing you and exhausting you - some of you should definitely check in if this is the kind of work you are willing to work for? Do you think it is worth your efforts?
Capricorn commits but its no fool to commit to anything or anyone that’s not worth their time or effort. Some of us might learn this season the hard way.
Now let’s break this energy down and study the Capricorn gates in Human Design Sun will be transiting from 22nd December - 22nd January:
Gate 10: The Behaviour of the Self
December 21st - December 25th
We start the Capricorn season still under the influence of Gate 10. Here is what I shared on it in my previous post:
The gate of Self-love, this transit reminds us to be an example of radical self-love. Sagittarius season can make us generous to others but remember that the very reason Sag energy is generous to others is that it pours in itself just as generously (have you EVER looked at a Sag’s self-care? It’s impressive, expensive, and luxy!). This transit is here to remind us of our personal power which lies in us honoring our own needs and emotions. It is a flag bearer of me-first and it deters people from falling into traps of co-dependency and people-pleasing. What an excellent time of the year to witness this in ourselves! Use this energy to study and correct yourself as and when needed to be honest and clear about who you are and what you really need from those you love and those who love you. After all, isn’t that a true holiday spirit? <3
BTW, I am soul excited to print out my journal in the coming year and take you with me on a 21-day journey to self love.
Pre-Order your copy here!
Here’s what people said after taking my 21-day self love course in its digital form:
“ The perfection with which Shivani has created this guide, omg, she really channelled divine work through it. It’s seen!”
“I was asking God for some help (tool) to better myself, and I found this at the perfect time!!Deeply deeply grateful Shivani!!”
Gate 58: The Joy Junkie
26th December - 31st December
This is the gate of vitality and its theme is around cultivating joy and contentment. How apt for the end of season merry! The crack though is, the joy is not outside of us - but within. It’s the quintessetial story of a girl looking for joy in external factors - more makeup, more clothes, more events, more friends, more stuff but still feeling anything but joy. This is also the story of this girl moving to a place in life where life in its simplest, most mundane moments of sun filtering through windows or fairy lights twinkling over her bed made her heart burst in joy. Okay, this girl is me hehe. But you get what I mean, right? This is the energy to recognize the power of joy inside you, the energy to recognize the power of experiencing joy without the stress and pressure to make something happen. Do you recognize true joy in this season of your life?
Gate 38: The Fighter
1st January - 5th January
Gate 38 is the energy to fight for a purpose. It’s the warrior who perseveres till the end, the one who makes the struggle worthwhile through his courage and bravery. The key here is that the fight is a waste if it isn’t for the right purpose. When I say right, I mean right for you. As the year kickstarts, it’s a good time to ask if the pressure you feel to usher and take actions because it’s a new year - are they in alignment with your bigger purpose? is this fight yours to fight? We live in a very influential world where there are unfortunately many many causes to get angry for and fight for. Yet, not every fight is ours to fight. When we fight for something which stands true for our personal purpose, it’s a success even before we win. But when we fight for a fight that was never even ours - it’s a complete waste of precious root energy. Choose your struggles and fights wisely. When you choose your goals and dreams, make sure, they come from you. When you choose to put in efforts, make sure it’s coming from a place of purpose within you. When our why is not rooted and grounded in what’s true for us, the fight often becomes bitter and frustrating. This is a great opportunity to discern and then, commit.
Gate 54: The Drive
6th January - 11th January
This is the gate of drive and ambition. This is the prosperity seeker. This is the energy of seeing making money as a part of spiritual service and growth and enlightenment, not seperate. This is seeing ambition as holy, but not be blinded by it so much that you forget holiness in itself. This is seeing money and prosperity as holy. This is understanding its full-spectrum spiritual power. This is releasing guilt in being ambitious and wanting to make money for the fear of not being spiritual enough. At the same time, the pressure that is good for you - think ambition taking away your emotional fulfilment, or health or your relationships - nope. Not the kind of 54 energy. The 54 doesn’t ask you to sacrifice your self on the altar of ambition. Not you mind, body, not your spirit. It’s working for your dreams but not at the cost of your self — very Capricorn.
Gate 61 : The Divine Door
12th January - 17th January
The gate of mystery, inner truth, also known as the divine door. This is the energy of basking in the mystery of life. As its present in the head centre, this is can feel like pressure to find answers to mysteries of life. This can feel sometimes getting too lost and overwhelmed by bigger questions of life like - why am I here? what’s my purpose? what is life? etc etc. On the flip side, this energy can be used to integrate higher wisdom through these very moments. During this time, take some time to reflect and journal and meditate. This way, you will be able to release the pressure. Be mindful if you find yourself spiralling and get grounded as much as you can.
Gate 60 : Acceptance
18th January - 22nd January
Present in the root, this is again a gate which can be responsible for pressure to move. Pressure is not bad as long as it’s the correct amount of pressure. This gate gives you the opportunity to make moves which helps you to overcome adversities and obstacles. However, for one to overcome obstacles, one needs to accept the presence of limitations. This is so on-brand with the Capricorn energy keeping things real. It doesn’t pretend or sugar coat it. It tells you about the limitations and uses its magnificent creativity to overcome it. Infact it realizes that accepting and understanding the limitations, instead of running away from them or masking them to feel better, is the only way to actually overcome them. Use this time to see through any limitations that stand between you and your goals and instead of getting discouraged by them, use it as an opportunity to transcend them with your genius.
As you can see through all the gates, the Capricorn energy doesn’t really bullsh*t. It is as real as it can get. It is not here to impress or please, it is here to make moves to give you solutions.
So, are you ready for this energy? I am genuinely so excited for this season because the Sag season has really lit up fire in my belly and I am actually feeling the nudge, the root pressure, to m o v e.
Do you feel it too? Do you know where are you moving? Or maybe you still need to figure out? Let me know how this energy is working for you?
