Here’s Your Horoscope For No-Nonsense Capricorn Season

The sun's transition from Sagittarius to Capricorn is hectic this year, as the astrology of the 2020 holidays is packed with planetary drama that's bombarding us with change. But once we get into the swing of Capricorn season 2020-2021, which officially begins on Dec. 21, we'll all begin to feel a little more grounded.

Capricorn is the zodiac's cardinal earth sign, and having planets here shifts our focus onto matters of financial security, material wealth, and practicality. During Capricorn season, when the sun shines its light through this zodiac sign's filter, we tend to take on a more pragmatic approach to life.

It's an ideal time to make a budget, get serious about responsibilities, and be more deliberate.

Capricorn's no-nonsense vibe can help us get our end-of-year affairs in order and our New Year's intentions on point — as this astrological season inspires us to zero in on our tangible goals and fires up our sense of determination when it comes to achieving them. We'll all be gifted with extra patience and discipline now.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

You're feeling nostalgic and emotional, so a little bit of rest and relaxation will go a long way.

But between work, the holidays, and your social life, you might find yourself pressed for time — so it's a great chance to practice being more present with your surroundings. Don't pressure yourself to respond to everything all at once. Take your time and focus on the people, places, and things that are right in front of you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

After a glittering birthday month and busy holiday, it's time to take charge of your financial life, Sagittarius. Capitalize on Capricorn season's motivational energy and use it map out a budget, savings plan, and some financial goals for the year to come. You don't need to spend big in order to have experiences that bring value — try to focus on finding more pleasure in things that don't cost a thing, like good conversation or a walk in the park.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Happy birthday season to you, Capricorn! You're seeing yourself in a new light this month and feeling more confident about your ability to bring something fresh to the table. Letting your guard down and being more authentic isn't just good for your soul — it'll also help to inspire everyone around you to do the same. Let your positive qualities shine and don't be afraid to step into the limelight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

Life may feel like a sleepy, dreamy haze this month — but it's not because you're lazy, Aquarius. It's simply that you're getting in touch with your spiritual side. While this may not be the outwardly productive period for you, you're untangling knots in your subconscious that will make you feel much lighter moving forward. Spend time dream journaling, meditating, or working with crystals to ground yourself during this period of mystical growth.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)

This is a great month to get more involved with the causes that are close to your heart, Pisces.
