Capricorn

Capricorn (Ruling Planet: Saturn; Element: Earth) Another practical Earth sign, Capricorns are more calculated than most. You are also a natural goal-setter, and tend to get what you want by being sensible, patient, cautious and disciplined. The Seagoat is not a rule-breaker. And, sometimes, all this hard work can make you pessimistic, stubborn, and shy.

This is a very active month for you, Sea Goat, but you’ll get through it. Mercury enters your sign at the beginning of December, prompting productive communication right up until the 19th, when the planet retrogrades. Mercury retrograde means reconsidering or redoing every effort you’ve made before the 19th– not moving forward if you’ve come to any agreements or important decisions. Just chill for a min, Cap, and use the unwinding, airy energy from Venus in Aquarius and the full moon in Gemini wisely. Keeping an open mind is essential right now, and you could use a little self-care. By the 21st, when the Sun enters your sign, you’ll better about stepping into the spotlight, and so will everyone around you. The planets are sending positive vibes for the end of your year, especially with a revitalizing new moon in your sign on the 29th! If you can take advantage of this energy, you can start out 2017 by manifesting a dream into reality.

Your Trax: If you have a lot of feelings and you’re tryna unwind with something soft and strong, the newest album from Big Thief is perfect. Chairlift’s Moth is similarly emotional, but a little less in your face. Lastly, Northampton band And The Kids offers their album from the summer, Friends Share Lovers, that builds, crashes, and flows– an accurate soundtrack for Mercury’s retrograde in your sign.
