Happy solstice! Happy Sun in Capricorn! If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere it is the return of the light. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, now begins the descent into longer nights.

If you are a Capricorn, you teach the world the importance of responsibility, hard work, achievement, and success. It is the final earth sign, completing a triad that includes Taurus and Virgo. And as the final earth sign, it represents mastery over the physical world.

With Saturn, the ruling planet of Cap, in Sagittarius, this season will heavily turn our attention to questions of faith, belief, and meaning as well as foreign travel and exploration.

PS — Born on January 1, New York is a Capricorn city. It is the archetypal personification of power, ambition, and verticality, all Capricorn bywords.
