Every once in a while, it’s important to redefine your existing challenges so you can spot more opportunities for the future. That may seem strange, because everyone’s encouraged to focus on opportunities, but it may be that the way you’ve defined your challenges has kept you from exploring certain ideas or offers. At least explore them, and you will discover a new excitement.
Showing I care makes me feel vulnerable for minutes, but can pay off for a lifetime
As you move into the New Year, and further into the sign of Capricorn, you’ll become aware that you were born under a sign and during a season when life itself changes. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, winter will have settled in. And if you’re in the southern hemisphere, it will be all about summer.
Whatever the case, it’s as if, with that shift in climate, the rules for life have changed. And that, in turn, will call your attention to the importance of reviewing your own “rules for life” regularly, too. As a Capricorn, once you’ve thought through your objective, and set a plan, you’ll stick with it. And you will regard that persistence as a virtue.
Yet every once in a while, it’s important to notice how what might be called the “climate” of your life is changing. And, because of that, it’s worth reviewing your priorities, the goals you’ve set, what you’re hoping to say farewell to, and what you’re working hard to achieve.
And, as you proceed, you may well note that some of the things you thought should be on their way out actually fit rather well in your life. And, similarly, certain individuals you thought you wanted to say farewell to also fit very well. But most of all, you’ll realize that certain goals and passions that once meant a lot to you still do, and still deserve your heartfelt attention.
Speaking of oppositions, it’s important to recognize that in certain situations, you are drawn to the opposite type, not because of anything exotic, but simply because they help you understand yourself. As a driven Capricorn, you don’t always pause to go within, but when you spot that inner part of you in another person, you will learn a lot.
The unexpected could be doing you a big favor if you need to change elements of your life—especially if you have to travel suddenly, or if you’ve changed your job. It is also time to rethink how you take care of yourself. What you learn in the process won’t just be about the present, it will bring powerful insights for the future as well.

At least explore them, and you will discover a new excitement.
There is a fine line between chatting about what you’re planning for the future and actually showing interest in what others suggest. It’s tricky, at least at the moment, simply because once you begin discussing ideas with certain individuals, they’ll expect to be included in future plans.
Capricorn: DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19
Ruler: Saturn
Symbol: The Goat
Element: Earth
Flower: Pansy
As a practical earth sign, whose symbol is the horned goat, you can achieve the impossible, in the form of ascending a mountain, or attaining an ambition. Being ruled by hardy Saturn, you’re discreet about your many kindnesses, but glory in your tough exterior. Your flower is the pansy; your plants are hemp and ivy; your trees, elm and yew. Your stones are symbolic of winter’s dark days—black pearls, black diamonds, and jet.
