Happy winter solstice! The Sun enters grounded Earth sign Capricorn in the morning at 5:45 AM. The Moon is in lovely Air sign Libra all day, encouraging us to get along with each other and maybe stare into the mirror a few seconds longer (the Moon in Libra loves beauty). Later tonight, at 2:05 AM, the Moon in Libra clashes with Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, so watch out for communication issues. All times EST.

Aries

The Sun enters Capricorn today and lights up the fame and fortune sector of your chart. Exciting! But Mercury is retrograde, so don't make any long-term, important decisions, especially not this evening.

Taurus

The Sun enters fellow Earth sign Capricorn today, lighting up the travel and learning sector of your chart. Too bad Mercury is retrograde, making it hard as hell for you to leave town.

Gemini

The Moon is in fellow Air sign Libra today, sending you good vibes as the Sun enters Capricorn, lighting up a very sensitive and psychic sector of your chart. Watch out for communication issues this evening.

Cancer

Today the Sun enters Capricorn, the sign opposite you on the zodiac wheel! Your focus will be on relationships. Partnerships from the past will also come up for you to reconsider: Who do you want to be with?

Leo

Your focus turns from fun and romance to your health and responsibilities today, Leo. The Sun had been in party-loving Sagittarius, but now it's entering hardworking Capricorn, giving you a major hangover. It's time to kick bad habits and get shit done!

Virgo

The Sun enters fellow Earth sign Capricorn today, lighting up the romance and creativity sector of your chart. Exciting! Too bad Mercury is currently retrograde: Watch out for mixed messages.

Libra

The Sun enters Capricorn today and illuminates the home and family sector of your chart. This is a wonderful time to clear negative energy from your personal spaces. Watch out for a communication mishap this evening.

Scorpio

Mercury retrograde in Capricorn is really fucking up communication for you, Scorpio. Even though you're the shadiest sign in the zodiac, you do pride yourself on being an eloquent speaker. Reflect on communication today.

Sagittarius

The Sun enters materially minded Earth sign Capricorn today, shifting your focus to your finances, your stuff, and your self-esteem. Reflect on this idea: How much you own doesn't equal how much you're worth, Sag.

Capricorn

The Sun enters your sign today, Capricorn! This is your time to focus on yourself. Sure, it's the holiday season and you should be thinking of others, but I mean, the Sun is only in your sign once a year.

Aquarius

The Sun enters Earth sign Capricorn today, encouraging you to spend more time alone, resting and recharging. It's time to go into hibernation, especially since Mercury's retrograde. Who wants to deal with that trash?

Pisces

The Sun enters Capricorn today, illuminating the friendship and community sector of your chart! You're working out who your real friends are with Mercury retrograde, and tonight you'll definitely get a better idea of who you can really be close with.
