Blog Post Nineteen: Capricorn Season & Solstice

There’s a particular kind of stillness that arrives with the Capricorn Season. A quiet that isn’t empty, but ancient. A quiet that feels like standing in the doorway between what has been and what’s about to begin.

The Solstice marks this threshold every year, but some years it hits deeper, as if time itself inhales and holds the breath. This year, that pause feels like an initiation.

Capricorn if often mistaken for sternness or relentless ambition, but those who have actually lived Capricorn transits or who were born under this mountain-moving archetype know the truth:

Capricorn is devotion made visible. It’s sacred endurance of the soul. It’s the wisdom earned only by walking the long road with your own two feet. And when the Sun steps into Capricorn on Solstice, we collectively enter that temple.

The Solstice is the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere, the deepest exhale of darkness before the light returns. But Capricorn doesn’t rush that return. Capricorn honours the night, the roots, the underworld, the parts of us that grown in secrecy before they become strength.

This day is a hinge. A cosmic pivot. A moment where the Sun holds still in the sky, as if inviting us to do the same.

To ask ourselves:

·      What am I carrying that I can no longer climb with?

·      What is calling me up the mountain next?

·      And who do I become at the summit?

The Solstice teaches us that the light comes back not because we chase it, but because we claim it.

Every Capricorn Season, a mountain appears before each of us. It’s different every year, but always purposeful. Maybe yours is a creative mountain. Maybe it’s healing. Maybe it’s finally claiming, out loud, the authority you’ve earned. But the Solstice whispers the first clue: You already have the tools. You already have the strength. You already have the right.

The climb begins with a single decision: I will rise, and I will rise well.

As we near the closing of 2025, year 9, year of the Snake… Be kind to yourself and let go of what no longer serves your highest good.

Wishing you a peaceful and joyful season and a very Happy New Year!

With Love & light,
