Astro Magic December 2024

The month of December brings us Capricorn season, which begins on Winter Solstice (December 21) and continues until the Sun moves into Aquarius on January 19th.

Capricorn is an earth sign that is concerned with taking charge, being ambitious, striving for success, and focusing on things that matter. In other words, it’s not the time to be passive and let the world pass you by; it’s time to seize your moment and make things happen. Since Capricorn is a cardinal sign, the past no longer matters. It is what you can do today that should be your focus.

Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn. Now, Saturn gets a lot of bad press in pop astrology. He is the planet of limitations, boundaries, responsibilities, and duties, but Saturn has an important function. Saturn doesn’t put off what can be accomplished today, so he can go out with friends, surf social media sites, or shop until he drops. He grinds things out because structure and foundation are more important than frivolity.

In Greek myth, Saturn ruled over the ‘Golden Age'. The Golden Age was a time of peace, prosperity, and abundance, but it wasn’t accomplished with “wish” magic, it was accomplished with ‘do’ magic. In other words, good old fashioned elbow grease!

So, to put it simply, Capricorn season is about taking care of business (personal and professional), and to achieve a successful New Year, you must lay the foundation. Just make sure what you plant will be fruitful!

5 Ways to Make the Most of Capricorn Season

Career Magic: Capricorn season is all about ambition and profession. This is the perfect time to do magic to find a new job, or even to get a better job. It’s also an excellent time for you to obtain the favor of older, experienced, or superior (as in position) people. You can use the energy of the sign of the goat to land the position you want.

2. Success Magic: Are you working on a new project or releasing a new product? Capricorn season is ideal for success magic. The symbol for Capricorn is a goat, and its horn, known as the cornucopia, is filled with prosperity and abundance. You can use this season to level up and ensure you get everything you deserve, and then some.

3. Reputation Magic: Do you need to be noticed for the work you do, or did you make a mistake and need to repair a damaged reputation? Well, Capricorn season is the best time to fix things or make things happen. You can use this month’s energy to improve your social image or get the attention you deserve.
Recommended Candles: Sweet Grass (World Magic), Needed Change/Banishing (Blessed Herbal), Mars (Astro Magic)

4. Business Magic: Many businesses suffered during the pandemic because of circumstances beyond their control. Now is the time to reclaim your power and be the cause, not the effect. Use this energy in any business situation that needs a boost. Capricorn season is also the perfect time to start something new.

5. Prosperity Magic: Anytime the Sun is in an earth sign, it’s an excellent time to do prosperity magic. So, Capricorn season is great to petition for what you want and need. Prosperity is more than money, so make sure you include things like health, a supportive social circle, and a positive attitude. Recommended Candles: Jupiter (Astro Magic), Quick Cash (Aunt Jacki)

Oh No, Mars Retrograde! (December 6, 2024 – February 23, 2025)

Most of you are well-versed in the havoc Mercury retrograde brings to our daily lives, with its relentless communication breakdowns. But Mars retrograde is another story—a more challenging one. Mars, the planet of action, is all about pushing forward, getting things done, and ensuring the Sun’s vitality turns into tangible results. When Mars turns retrograde, that flow of energy gets obstructed. You might notice your drive feels depleted, and moving forward with plans seems like an uphill battle. Frustration levels rise, and keeping emotions in check can feel nearly impossible, with even the smallest triggers leading to full-blown outbursts.

Navigating Mars retrograde is no easy task. It demands radical self-honesty and, above all, the ability to be proactive rather than reactive. It’s essential to press pause before acting, especially when emotionally stirred. Pay attention to when you feel provoked, and observe where you’re most willing to fight. These instances provide clues to areas in your life that need focused action once Mars turns direct. Understanding this will help you make intentional moves to meet your desires and regain momentum.
