The shortest day of the year was on Saturday, December 21st, and with 2014 just around the corner, a shift towards longer days and shorter nights has commenced. This is what makes the Winter Solstice so symbolic in cultures around the world; it represents a turning point when we reflect on our past in order to prepare for our future. During this time, we give ourselves the chance to start anew. But not without first recognizing how far we’ve come and what we’ve learned from prior experiences. It’s no wonder the holiday season can be a time of joyful family gatherings mixed with feelings of melancholy. Our accomplishments seem minuscule as we ponder how life could be so much more. It would be good, then, to use this period to ascertain where we got off track. An understanding of what must happen next in order to stay the course will soon become clear, and we couldn’t have better stars to begin the process than the Sun (along with retrograde Venus, and Pluto) in the sign of Capricorn the Goat.

Capricorn’s are known for their somberness and disciplined approach to life. But they are also extremely passionate and risk taking (calculated risks, of course!). Believe it or not, Capricorns play the game of life more intently than most. That’s why the mood this time of year can be somewhat dim, but then crescendos to a more optimistic outlook that opens up a new year-long cycle. You’ll notice that there’s always increased commitment to any intentions set in an attempt to build structures that will help us solidify new goals, habits and routines. This is Capricorn in a nutshell – a sign that works hard to properly manage the affairs of his or her life for the long term. For all this sign’s caution, there’s an innate desire to create only that which endures. Keep this in mind over the holidays, then, especially with regards to those close family ties that bind, and support us along our path in the New Year.

Check your horoscopes below for this week, and be sure to read for your Ascendant sign as well.

On the day you were born, all of the planets were positioned in the signs of the Zodiac – not just the Sun. To find out more about your full astrological make up, email Tracey for a personal Astrology reading at tracey@randomnessofrudy.com.

This is usually the case around the holidays, but the warrior planet Mars is in your sign, which could make you feistier than normal. Any frustrations you feel should serve as an invitation to go deeper with your grief. Why does your mother get under your skin? Why do you allow your significant other to talk to you a certain way?

This will bring some frustration as the need for solace and rest begins to take over. Do find time for you Scorpio, and try to balance it with any day-to-day activities. If you feel like you’re being torn, it’s OK to speak up and voice your concerns. But do it now; don’t hold off, otherwise it could turn into a blow up.
