CAPRICORN SEASON HOROSCOPES:
Capricorn season horoscopes are here! Ruled by Saturn…we hope they’ll encourage supportive reality checks (and we always love to hear about Birthdate Co. IRL with you!)
DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19
Our Lead Astrologer, Erin River Sunday, writes these horoscopes based on your Sun and Rising/Ascendant sign. Don’t know your Rising Sign? The Birthdate Book can help!
Aries ✧
It’s the ultimate “work hard, play hard” season for you, Aries, and that sounds like music to your ears. Remember, however, that your ruler (Mars) is now retrograde. Rather than spending too much time at the office, schedule in time to let off some steam.
Taurus ✧
Are you traveling for the holidays, sweet Taurus? Whether you’re braving the airport to go visit loved ones, or just getting lost in a new non-fiction, you’re ready to be transported this season. Just remember that Mars is now retrograde, which can create a few hijinks. You can be social this season, but honor your need for rest, too.
Gemini ✧
This season always seems to bring endings your way…but when one door closes, you’ll be good at finding another that’s ready to open. Mars is retrograde now, anyway, so many others are also facing delays. If any of your knocks are being left unanswered, get curious about different doors.
Cancer ✧
Your intimate relationships come into sharp focus every year around this time, Cancer, and it's a nice time to lean into them. As your career could be slowing down because of Mars' retrograde, take some time to revisit the "why" behind your work...and allow yourself to remember what it's like to play.
Leo ✧
Organization becomes you this season, Leo. And it's all for the better because Mars is officially retrograde. It's a great time to revisit projects that were once shiny but didn't quite get the attention they deserved. Rather than hitting "publish" now, though, consider making an airtight schedule for the year ahead.
Virgo ✧
You aren’t always thought of as overtly flirty, Virgo, but this season you’re effortlessly turning heads! And while you might gravitate toward self-containment, open up to the people and possibilities wanting to co-create. Also remember that Mars is now retrograde, so remember that rest CAN be productive!
Libra ✧
The idea of home isn’t everyone’s most expansive frontier, Libra. While you might feel restricted by your roots in some ways, notice the bright spots this season. Cuddle up with those you love and celebrate chosen family. Mars is also retrograde now, so you could be revisiting some work projects from your past. Tie up any loose ends that may have been forgotten.
Scorpio ✧
People learn hard lessons in many different ways, Scorpio, and for you, a lot of those ways are close to home. Especially because your ruling planet, Mars, is now retrograde...you could be reflecting on your career. Think back to what's given you purpose over the years and why.
Sagittarius ✧
Money is the name of the game this season, Sagittarius. Reflect on your holiday spending and if your values proved to align with your bank statements. Mars is also retrograde now, so you're thinking about your belief systems. Don't hesitate to reach for an old book that once awakened your soul.
Capricorn ✧
You’re feeling yourself this season, Capricorn, and it’s your time to shine. There might also, however, be some one on one partnerships in your life that begin to take center stage. If past entanglements seem to be haunting you, look for the lesson in why they're resurfacing.
Aquarius ✧
Hermit mode is something we all need sometimes, Aquarius, and this season it’s your turn to turn inward. Retreating isn’t always the easiest for you, but rest will serve to illuminate the answers you’re seeking. Not to mention, it's also Mars retrograde season! Should you have previous collaborations come back around, take your time considering why...and if you're still interested.
Pisces ✧
Express gratitude for your “quality over quantity” ethos towards friendships this season, Pisces. Cheers those that have stuck with you through it all, and release the rest. Mars is also retrograde now, so consider your creativity an especially helpful processing tool.

Capricorn people are literally the GOAT. On a constant quest towards the mountain’s peak, Capricorns teach us about hard work and dedication. Rather than an imaginative, idealized version of the future…Capricorns know what it takes day in and day out to realize our dreams.
This season will have us all rising to the occasion- by putting in the practical effort and remembering that “no” is a full sentence. Diligence and a “slow and steady wins the race” mentality is the way to the finish line!
Because Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is currently in Pisces, though…our boundaries are no longer a firm line. We’re learning how to go with the flow while we get things accomplished and we’re understanding that empathy along the way is just as important.
Journal prompts to connect with Capricorn energy:
- Where am I putting in consistent effort over time? Why?
- When should I learn to say “no” more often in my life?
- What boundaries in my life benefit from flexibility?
