Capricorn will allow us to engineer what we want to manifest in 2024. The Winter Solstice is one of the four great turning points of the year. As architects of the future, we take the power from this event and build the times to come. Mercury, the symbol of the mind, is reversing, allowing us to look back at 2023 and then ahead at 2024.

The Solstice, with its sunset flowing through Stonehenge, marks the return of light to the northern hemisphere, with each day becoming longer, celebrated by the major religions of the world. Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 and leaves in January of 2024, handing out diplomas to Capricorn for power and Cancer in partnerships.

Aries - This is a powerful time for you to finish projects prior to the end of January 2024. As you move into February, you will start a big new cycle. At present, you have financial support for unexpected circumstances that arise and the ability to manifest major self transformation.

Taurus - The Winter Solstice opens the gateway to the new season. You have both lucky Jupiter and the planet of unexpected events, Uranus, in Taurus. Therefore when something that you had not anticipated occurs, you will have the ability to turn circumstances in your direction.

Gemini - Winter arrives with Mercury, your guide, moving in reverse. Therefore, it is best to double-check all of your appointments. The messenger of the gods is retrograding in the earthy, practical sign of the mountain goat, Capricorn, so look before you leap and plan carefully.

Cancer - Your opposite sign of partnerships is now in the center of the stars, and you are in demand. In 2008 the great transformer, Pluto, entered Capricorn, granting you long term evolutionary lessons in relationships and personal protection. You graduate on 1/20/2024.

Leo - Both the Sun and Mercury retrograde are in Capricorn influencing everything that is happening in your everyday life. You may find yourself reviewing 2023 by cleaning closets both literally and figuratively. This is an excellent time to look back and prepare to leap forward.

Virgo - Opportunities are arising for you over the course of the next month. You find that you can expand your field of operation in the world around you. Luck is currently favoring travel planning and education. Romance arises for certain singles as you attend holiday parties.

Libra - The Winter Solstice leads Libra to liberation. Let's journey back to 2008 when Pluto entered Capricorn and started leading you into lessons around relationships. Then let's fast forward to January 2024 when this cycle ends, when you exhibit expertise to those around you.

Scorpio - Sensual Venus now visiting Scorpio dances into your holiday season. For those of you who have ongoing relationships, you will see them deepen. Single Scorpios could just find the one that you have been looking for during this holiday season under the mistletoe.

Sagittarius - Energetic Mars leaps into the end of year festivities in your sign. The spiritual warrior allows you to accomplish all of your tasks with gusto. You find that home is where the heart is during this season of light. You are able to cherish those you truly care about.

Capricorn - Congratulations to you, Graduate. Pluto, the planet of transformation and birth and death, takes 246 years to go round the zodiac. This guardian of the underworld has been in your sign since 2008, and he hands you the diploma of personal power as he departs on 1/20/2024.

Aquarius - The year 2023 comes to an end as your astrological year finishes. The messenger of the gods, Mercury, who handles the details of daily life is retrograding. If you manage to hold on to your hat, this reversal is to your benefit as you assess your past for clarity in the future.

Pisces - The Winter Solstice, the darkest night of the year, is celebrated in every tradition as a holiday of light. Light grows with every day that follows the solstice, both within us and without. Pisces inherently knows this and leads the planet into this vibrational shift.
