Capricorn

capricorn1There’s a lot of kerfuffle in your school or at your job! There are boundaries and agreements and issues you might need to face and work on this month, especially during the first couple of weeks. There’s a powerful moment around the 19th of December that can really help you clarify your purpose, and help you strip away any and all of the bullshit that can surround the stuff that we do. If that opportunity arises for you, it’s important that you take note of it and hold it. Sometimes we get to a core truth about ourselves and we don’t respect it enough, and it can be wasted. I encourage you to use this time of the month, or whatever events transpire around mid-December, as a key component of what you know to be true for you. You could be speaking to people in a way that really resonates on a deep level, and it’s almost like you’ll go through some fire—a test, especially publicly—to see what really stand for. If you can pass that test, which I know you can, that’ll be very powerful and freeing for you. It will likely feel that you’re getting down to an essential truth about yourself.

The new moon on the 11th falls in a place in your chart that’s about taking care of yourself. There’s something you’re letting go of this point in your life: an old ambition, and old understanding of yourself, or something you’re getting ready to leave. There’s also something that will come, although it hasn’t quite arrived yet. You’re in an in-between state, and it’s important for you now to practice any spiritual disciplines or grounding practices you engage in. You might observe a profound shift in your values. There’s an important discomfort that can occur when we’re stripping away things that don’t matter to us anymore, especially if we have funny attachments to them. This new moon could help you discern what you aren’t as interested in anymore—it’s OK to change.

The full moon on the 25th happens in your 7th house of intimate relationships and partnerships, so this might be the year you spend part of your holidays with your best person and their family, rather than with your own. It’s a beautiful full moon for you in that regard, so try to be open to those who are in your life—intimacy happens everywhere. I encourage you to take note of who is in front of you, especially around the 25th, and how you can connect to them. Meet people halfway and put work into building your close relationships. Whatever effort you do put in will be noticed.

Dylan’s advice: One of the most satisfying things to do in this elemental existence is to burn shit WITH FIRE! Build a bonfire or locate a hearth where you can do some discarding. It doesn’t have to be such a cowabunga-crazy action, like a scene in a corny movie where a girl wails as she flings a box of her ex’s belongings into a fire pit. It can be writing down a few things you want to release on a piece of paper and placing them into the fireplace, or lighting a candle while you journal, or plucking out matches from a matchbook and naming one for something you want to say goodbye to while burning them down to their stubs *mild maniacal laugh.* Maybe my inner pyro is showing too much here, but with the new moon shepherding in some self-care, this could be just the thing you need. Also, it’s cold outside, dude! Fire’s nice.
