As the Sun enters Capricorn (December 22 – January 19), the energy shifts from Sagittarius’ adventurous fire to Capricorn’s grounded earth. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and structure, reminds us of the importance of responsibility, patience, and steady growth.

This season comes at a symbolic time—the end of one year and the beginning of another. While the world is celebrating and setting resolutions, Capricorn energy invites us to ground those dreams in reality. It asks: What steps will you take, brick by brick, to build the life you desire?

In Hindu philosophy, this period often aligns with Makar Sankranti (January 14, 2026), the day when the Sun begins its northward journey (Uttarayana). Just as Capricorn symbolises the climb of the mountain goat, Sankranti represents upward movement—toward clarity, dharma, and light.

This is a season of commitment, discipline, and long-term vision. Below is guidance for each zodiac sign, along with rituals to help you align with Capricorn’s powerful, steady energy.

Universal Capricorn Season Rituals

Saturn’s Saturday Offering: On Saturdays, light a sesame oil lamp and offer prayers to Lord Shani. This honours Capricorn’s ruling planet and strengthens patience and discipline.
Grounding with Nature: Place your bare feet on the ground each morning, connecting with Earth energy. This stabilises your mind and body.
Vision + Action List: Write your top three goals for the new year. For each, note one realistic daily action. Keep it where you see it often.
