If you had to define 2019 in one word, what would it be? For many of you sea goats, your word choice might skew a bit negative. Starting in November 2018, Jupiter (the planet that makes everything larger than life) moved into the area of your chart connected to endings, so it’s likely you’ve had to say a lot of “goodbyes” over the past several months. Even when we know it’s important, letting go is never easy—no doubt you’ve had to be extremely brave. Ready for some really, really good news? That painful cycle concludes on December 2 and, in its place, is the beginning of what is bound to be an absolutely incredible year ahead. In fact, 2020 might be one of the best years of your entire life.

I know you’re skeptical, but hear me out, Capricorn babe: Lucky Jupiter is moving into your sign for the first time in 12 years. The last time Jupiter moved through Capricorn was from 2007 to 2009 (if you’re an old enough bb, think back to what was happening during those years for insight into what may come ahead!).

Regardless of where you were 12 years ago, Jupiter’s movement into Capricorn is going to mark the beginning of a brand new life cycle, defined by luck, fortune, and abundance. What does prosperity mean to you, Capricorn love, and how can you double-down on that notion? Now that you’ve teamed up with Jupiter, anything is possible!

On December 12, a Full Moon in Gemini activates the area of your chart connected to work, routines, health, and wellness. While everyone else will be scrambling during this electric lunation (real talk, Full Moons make people v weird), you should plan a cozy night in to review your calendar. You’re likely booked well into the new year—but have you allocated enough time for yourself? If your self-care routine has devolved into five-hours of sleep and cold pizza for dinner, it’s time to reconsider your schedule. Under the light of this electric Full Moon, connect with your intuition to check in with your emotional and spiritual needs. Self-compassion is a non-negotiable.

But above all, I hope you’ve carved out time to celebrate the most important day of the year: Your birthday! Happy solar return, Capricorn love! Your astrological season officially kicks off on December 21, and as the Sun in the sky aligns with the Sun at your moment of birth, you radiate a warm, confident glow. This your moment to bask in the spotlight, so don’t be afraid to follow your heart.

This will be especially true on December 26, when the Moon (symbolizing emotions) joins forces with the Sun in your own sign. During this electric lunation, don’t be surprised if you suddenly become strikingly aware of how you relate to others. This is the time to be real. Are people not meeting your expectations or maybe (just maybe!) are your expectations a wee bit too high?Everything is a negotiation, Capricorn babe, which means you’re also responsible for making some of your own adjustments. Of course, note the difference between compromise and sacrifice. If you feel like you’re giving up too much of yourself to accommodate others, you may need to go back to the drawing board.
