When Mars — the planet of action, aggression, and drive — moves through practical Capricorn from December 14th, 2025, to January 23rd, 2026, it turns into a powerhouse. This cardinal earth sign is notoriously ambitious, and it isn’t afraid of logging the hours necessary to get the job done. Working late on a project? No problem. Mars is exalted in this sign, which means it has all the resources it needs to achieve its goals. It’s extra productive, and it doesn’t underestimate the time and effort it takes to create something great. Quick results? No, thanks. Make this your motto: “Do it for the legacy.”
The shadow side of all that hustling? A tendency to overdo it. In this placement, Mars can keep pushing even when it’s running on fumes. While this stamina is admirable, it’s also important to take breaks. No one is actually superhuman, and no one is immune to burnout. Getting rest, having fun, and generally enjoying your life doesn’t make you lazy, no matter who tells you otherwise. Spacing out every now and then is essential for refreshing your mind and re-energizing your body. So while you’re mapping out all your impressive plans, add “take it easy” to your to-do list. After all, what’s the point of getting so much done if you never slow down to savor what you’ve accomplished?

Time to get to work. If you have a big goal to tackle or a dream project to build, give it your all — starting today. While Mars is in Capricorn over the coming weeks, your commitment is your superpower. Just don’t expect things to be easy. Progress requires showing up, so lock in and dedicate your attention, energy, and focus.
No more slacking or thinking “maybe someday.” This is your moment to be mega-productive.
Quit dreaming and start doing. As Mars enters Capricorn, focus on your big-picture plans. Get clear on what your long-term goals are and how you can bring them to life. Don’t get hung up on fantasy and what-ifs — this is a moment for action.
Right now, thinking through all the possibilities isn’t the wisest use of your time. Over the coming weeks, the best way to learn how to get where you want to go is to get going.
Advocate for yourself. As Mars enters Capricorn, this is your time to negotiate for what you deserve in your collaborations.
If you’ve been feeling resentful or unappreciated, you might be underselling yourself, or you might have to set a boundary or two. And if you’re consistently getting the short end of the stick, use the coming weeks to seek out new partnerships, grants, loans, scholarships, or other deals that work better for you.
When you fight for fairer agreements, you earn more respect from everyone involved — including yourself. Be brave and ask for what you need.
Conflict isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes a disagreement with a bestie, business partner, or loved one can give you much-needed clarity about your connection.
As Mars enters Capricorn, don’t shut down your frustration. Investigate it. What is it telling you about what you’re resisting? What do you need to advocate for in your one-on-one bonds? Figuring out how to argue productively is key to building relationships that last.
Don’t shy away from the hard parts. That’s where the growth happens.
It’s time to get the job done. As Mars enters Capricorn, do whatever needs to happen in your work projects, your daily grind, or any other responsibilities on your plate. You can make major progress over the coming weeks if you make a genuine effort.
And if you’re passionate about any causes related to labor or wellness, this is your moment to fight for them too. Whether you want to advocate for equitable pay, affordable healthcare, or something else, don’t wait. Get started today.
Anger is a sign that you’re passionate about something. As Mars enters Capricorn, fight for what you feel strongly about.
If that means you’re called to advocate for reproductive rights, for your right to love whoever you want and however you want, or for your right to express yourself as you please, show up. Take action. Make some noise. Right now, you can make a big difference in these areas.
And if you’ve got a creative project on the back burner, move it to the front. Over the coming weeks, you’ve got momentum to spare. Take advantage of it.
Tackle those chores you’ve been putting off. As Mars enters Capricorn, you’ve got extra support for your household projects.
If you’re feeling daunted by your overflowing junk drawer or your cluttered pantry, think about long-term solutions for your home life. Get things straightened out now, and you’ll get to bask in the satisfaction of a job well done later on. Buckle down and power through the boring stuff. Future you will thank you.
You’ve got a message to send the world, and people need to receive it.
As Mars enters Capricorn, clear away any blocks or obstacles that keep you from expressing yourself. Organize your drafts and outlines, fix up your podcast equipment, or streamline your blog schedule. When you set yourself up for success now, it all gets easier down the road.
The coming weeks are also a powerful time for sharing your thoughts on any issues or causes that you’re passionate about. Let others know what’s lighting a fire in your belly so they can join you in fighting the good fight.
Make things happen with your money. As Mars enters Capricorn, you can make big headway on your financial plans, goals, and projects. Over the coming weeks, take action, lock in, and focus on the long game. You won’t necessarily change everything immediately, but the effort you put in now will pay off.
And if an issue related to economic injustice has been pissing you off, let people know. You’ve got extra support and momentum for channeling your righteous anger to fight for a good cause.
You’re at the peak of your powers. As Mars enters Capricorn, you have more direct access to your stamina, your ambition, your practical know-how, and all your other unique talents. Take advantage of it.
Over the coming weeks, channel your energy toward your passion projects and personal goals. The more you lock into realizing your dreams, the more you can achieve. But don’t get caught up in all work and no play. There’s more to life than ticking all the boxes. Even you deserve a rest.
Protect your peace of mind. As Mars enters Capricorn, fight for your right to rest, heal, and dream whenever and wherever you’re on your own. You don’t need to be on call for other people 24/7. You’re allowed to silence your notifications and tune out the noise.
If any anger arises while you’re alone, witness it compassionately. Sometimes feelings surface more easily when you’re less distracted by the world. Pay attention to what your frustration is trying to tell you and act on its guidance. Reclaim your time and space however you see fit.
Right now, you’re extra powerful when you gather with your community. As Mars enters Capricorn, pinpoint how you can show up for your friends, your social circle, or your group projects.
Reaching out to your people, building something together, or rallying support for a cause are all great uses of your energy over the coming weeks. And think long-term. You don’t have to know how it will all turn out. Just get going.
