Horoscopes for the Sun in Capricorn, 2025

Welcome to Capricorn season

From December 21st, 2025, to January 19th, 2026, the Sun moves through Capricorn. The start of Capricorn season marks the December Solstice — the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, when the night is longest and the Sun is symbolically reborn, and the arrival of summer in the Southern Hemisphere, when the Sun’s light reaches its peak. It’s the beginning of a new astrological cycle, which makes it a powerful moment to plant seeds for what you want to grow over the coming year.

Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign, which means this is a time to ground ourselves and reconnect with whatever helps us feel anchored. While Sagittarius season hyped us up to go after what thrills us, Capricorn season builds off of that enthusiasm and encourages us to act on it. The ambitious sign of the goat can overdo it, though. If you feel like you’re pushing yourself too hard or getting hung up on seeking external validation, try not to get carried away. Commit to the goals you want to achieve, but remember to celebrate your progress along the way — and pace yourself to avoid burning out.

Full Moon in Cancer: Be real with yourself

The Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd isn’t exactly subtle. In fact, it might feel extra buzzy and hectic, so do what you can to decompress and help your system unwind. This is an especially agitating Full Moon that spotlights how we work through frustrations in caregiving dynamics — and it will likely amplify any tension that’s been mounting. It isn’t stirring things up just to make a mess, though. It’s trying to show you something important about the challenges or limitations that prevent you from accepting support from others. If you’re overextending yourself at the expense of your own needs or trying to prove your worth through your productivity, this Full Moon will reveal where you need to make a change.

New Moon in Capricorn: Turn your goals into game plans

Then there’s the first New Moon of the year, on January 18th. This one is packed with potential, so make the most of it by clarifying what new plans or projects you wish to set into motion at the top of 2026. This moment will help you identify the dreams you want to nurture — and the boundaries and structures you need to build to make those dreams come true. This New Moon offers you a boost of momentum, so set your intentions, get to work, and expect some lucky breaks and pleasant surprises to come your way over the next six months.

Put on your power suit. Capricorn season is your chance to bask in the spotlight. Over the next few weeks, pencil in some time to map out the moves you’re ready to make in your career, your leadership roles, and the work you do in public.

Your ambition and drive are useful tools, so don’t be afraid to use them. Just be honest with yourself if you’re overworking to prove your worth or seek validation. Right now, balancing productivity with rest is your winning strategy.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Take your biggest dreams seriously. Capricorn season is here, and it’s time to act on the long-term plans and goals you’ve been plotting. So get out there and do something, whether you finally pick up that book on the shelf, sign up for that class you’ve been curious about, or map out your next road trip.

But don’t try to rush overnight results. Instead, just ask yourself what small actions you can take to start bringing your fantasies into reality.

’Tis the season for giving and receiving — on your own terms. Now that the Sun is in Capricorn, it’s time for your annual review of your collaborations. So connect with the people who share resources with you, and clarify what is (or isn’t) working well.

Don’t stick with agreements that don’t feel right or that only drain you. And don’t be afraid of naming exactly how you feel about your exchanges. Fairness matters, but what’s the point if your emotions aren’t part of the equation?

Commit like you mean it. Capricorn season is here, and the next few weeks are all about being intentional with the time, attention, and care you dedicate to your closest relationships.

Just remember that overextending yourself for your loved ones or neglecting your own needs does no one any good. Setting boundaries isn’t selfish; it’s an act of generosity for everyone involved. The more you respect your own limits, the easier it will be to show up for others — and let them show up for you.

Remember: You’re a human, not a machine. True, your ability to zero in on a task and power through your to-dos is off the charts. But Capricorn season is here to remind you that there’s more to life than being productive.

Taxing your physical system just to prove that you’re responsible or good at your job isn’t worth it. Whose praise are you after? Practice penciling in rest breaks and congratulating yourself on how far you’ve come. Pausing every now and then isn’t just smart; it’s essential for your wellbeing.

The Virgo zodiac glyph.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Commit to what brings you joy. Your creative projects, flirty exchanges, and playful hobbies deserve your time and attention, and they’re worth the effort.

This Capricorn season, it’s time for you to take your fun, delight, and pleasure seriously. How would it feel to set clearer boundaries so you can focus on this part of your life? Over the next few weeks, test it out. Don’t wait for someone else’s permission. Give it to yourself.

The Libra zodiac glyph.

libra & libra Rising

It’s time to get cozy. Capricorn season is here, and the next few weeks are all about reconnecting with your home life. Whether you want to spend more quality time with the people you call family or put more effort into organizing your living space, follow through on what you need.

And if a project or conversation isn’t moving as quickly and smoothly as you’d like, remind yourself that this part of your life isn’t about sprinting to the finish line. Remember to take it easy.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

You can’t leave those texts on read forever. Over the coming weeks, make follow-through your best friend. Whether you’re working on a writing project, chatting with your neighbors, or getting more involved in your local community, be intentional about dedicating your time and attention.

These passing conversations and everyday choices, no matter how small they seem, add up to a life fully lived. Capricorn season reminds you how important it is to turn off autopilot mode and approach your days wide awake.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Get serious about your money. Capricorn season is here, and it’s here to remind you that paying attention to your finances, skills, and resources pays off. That could mean something as small as reassessing your budget for the year ahead, or it could mean dedicating more time to honing the talents you want to share with the world.

If it feels strange to pencil in a few hours a week to focus on this part of your life, ask yourself why. You’re worth investing in.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Hey there, Capricorn season. Welcome to your annual glow-up. The next few weeks shine the spotlight on you. Don’t shy away from the attention.

Your dedication and drive are unmatched, but if you don’t pause your hard work to celebrate yourself every now and then, what’s the point? Take a break from chasing external validation and reassurance. And as you map out your personal goals for the new year, remember to give yourself props for everything you’ve created so far.

Whatever you’re ready to begin now, don’t hold back.

The Aquarius zodiac glyph.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Check in with yourself. Capricorn season is here, and it’s all about your solo time. The next few weeks may feel busier than usual, so don’t worry if it’s not exactly giving sleep-in-all-day energy. Instead, pay attention to the thoughts that come up when you pause long enough to unwind.

When you shut the door to the world, what stories do you tell yourself? Practice bringing a little more encouragement to your self-talk, even if no one else notices — that’s when it counts the most.

The Pisces zodiac glyph.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Your social world is calling. Capricorn season is your annual reminder that your friendships are worth investing your time, attention, and energy into.

If you’re not sure which parties, group hangs, or events to say yes to, just ask yourself which invites feel energizing and which ones seem draining. Being honest about your boundaries and bandwidth is a big piece of the social puzzle. Just don’t forget to have fun.
