Capricorn Season

Welcome to the divine, and holy gates of Hell aka Capricorn season- where you have come to face and explore the deepest corners of your mind, body, and fears. In exploring the underworld, your deep subconscious, you clear and reveal- and welcome in the season of the birth of the sun, the dark feminine and all her divine wonders and twisted dreams, the devotional, loyal and loving divine masculine, the coldest darkest hour, and the hope of the rising, growing sun swallowing the Darkness in its entirety.

​From the deepest darkest corners and bottom floor you build up. 
In taking the time to clear old stories and rebuild shaky bearings you give yourself something solid and strong to stand upon, build upon, and create from- now, here, and forever more. 
In diving deep you are able to rise and reclaim, clearly, lovingly, intentionally, knowingly and gratefully. You are powerful and divine. You know who you are because you understand yourself on every level, way, dimension, space, angle.

With Capricorn season coming at the end of the year, a time of endings and new beginnings, we realize we are all small parts of a bigger picture. Together, we create and make the world as we know it. In realizing this, what type of life, day, community, world, family,  are you choosing, embodying and creating through your values, choices, career, relationships, energy, thoughts?

How do you choose to spend your time? Your energy? And, what exactly are you investing in? 

In realizing we are all connected- know that how you treat oneself, is how you treat others, and how you treat- and how you treat others, earth, is also how you treat self- Take ownership of your energy, your thoughts, your actions, your choices, your life. Observe but don’t absorb. Be here now, fully. Respond, don’t react. Practice loving awareness. Empower yourself, protect yourself, and loving yourself- know that doing so- is also empowering, protecting earth, and others. Know that the energy you radiate and show up with- creates ripples of change out into the world. 

So ask yourself: 
Where can you show more compassion, love, patience and acceptance towards yourself, others, the journey? 
Where can you release control, judgement and rigidity?
Where can you empower yourself to adjust, make changes, take ownership or create more discipline in? 

Know that although the element of earth is all about materializing thought into form- and building, be sustainable and slow moving- it is still winter and  Saturn which rules Capricorn- reminds us of the very important element of allowing things to take the their time. Use the darkness all around you as we enter the season of winter to cozy inward- to continue to dream and to weave - dreaming both new and old dreams, while also revisiting and releasing old stories that no longer needs to be carried forward. Trust your process, the process. Follow the flow- and honor your feelings in the present moment- they are your divine compass and path home. Know that your body is intuitive, intelligent and knows the way. Taking care of it and listening to it- will help you know your next steps forward. Know that the mind and body working together achieve way more than they ever could alone. Instead of fighting, listen  to both sides, and ensure they’re on the same page. Practice pure loving, embodied, mindfulness- put your focus and mind on where your body is. Marry and unite the strength of two powerful poles in the present moment and watch your entire embodiment blossom and expand past any and all previous barriers, pains, and expectations. 

​Shadow Aspects of Capricorn Season to Keep in Mind and Integrate:

• Look for areas to improve and adjust and realign, but don’t knit pick or bully yourself into change- do it from a place of tender care, deep devotion and unconditional love- know you are inherently whole- and perfectly loved and valuable just as you are- always. The better you take care of yourself, the better you feel, the better you see, the better you do, the better you live, the better you thrive.
• Look at areas where you are rigid or feel stuck or may be playing out old energy and stories- balance it with the energy of the feminine, step into the sea part of the sea goat Capricorn. Let her wash away your worries like a wild tsunami. Be unafraid of your own raw wild form. Let it destroy what no longer serves you. Death is beautiful, divine and necessary. Be unafraid of diving deep into the unknown, it is all only aspects of you repressed and unexpressed- being born anew, approach it, yourself, and all things with intimate curiosity, and gentle love.
• There may be a strong emphasis on material goods with Capricorn being an Earth sign and the holidays coming up- but don’t let it bring you down. Focus on and appreciate the little things. Realize sometimes the small things, are the biggest things and what you do all year speaks volumes for all that you are. Don’t measure your value on things or items outside of you or only on what you can give. You are worth so much more than that.
• Your shadows may be dark during this time- but that’s okay. It’s what gives you empathy, depth, clarity, and reveals the power of your light. Don’t let it scare you- instead let it inspire you to create and choose new choices that best support you in holding space for and integrating your darker less understood elements. Whatever comes up- know that this is just the starting point and all will go up from here. So love it for revealing itself, showing itself, speak gently to it, like a lover, a child, a friend. Give it space to express itself and set boundaries as needed, without judgement or fear. 
• Things may feel like they are moving slowly - especially with the upcoming retrogrades coming up- instead of being dejected- take this time to make really intentional choices and relish each moment.  If you feel stress- or pressure, evaluate where it is coming from and why- allow yourself to acknowledge it and comfort it. Go as fast as the slowest parts of you want to go- you do not need to force or push- it shows that you lack trust in the timing of things and your process in birthing them - give space for things to rearrange themselves around your intention and choices - not everything happens all at once- but everything comes together perfectly in time. 
• With family being a big theme during this time- this can bring up pain and sadness for many- Ask yourself what did you need growing up that you can give yourself now? What does a happy, healthy family and home environment mean to you? Where can you set boundaries or communicate more? What type of family and home environment are you choosing and creating for yourself and others? 
• Take this time to rest and just receive the growing light, hope, and new ideas. Explore where you may have preconceived judgement or an inability to express/receive, or feel repressed. Give it and yourself room to breathe, release and just be. Time is like a river that will wash and make new all things. 
• In knowing the past influences the present - that we are both shaped by and created by what came before us- explore your relationship with your body, pleasure, abundance, and your mind. Although we can’t change the past- we can change our perspective and we can control how much we allow the past to project into the now. With that- explore: What stories or feelings may have been passed on to you from the past? And even, from your ancestors?- How can you rewrite some of these stories for you- your inner child, your children, your partners, your friends, your future children, and the highest good of all?

​Light Aspects of Capricorn Season to Embody, Feel and Hold: 

• Your energy levels will rise as the sun rises. This sun/ the masculine/ will also shed new clarity, with this loving awareness you will explore your dark and envelop it in its entirety with warmth and love. You may have new ideas that come forth, and new structures to try out. When you tap into the unrelentless and unnameable Godspark within you, you will release unshakeable, loyal, trusting faith and love that can penetrate, cleanse, burn away, and release anything that holds you back. Let it be taken. Let yourself rise and be rebirthed in the light of the sun. 
• With Capricorn season being a time when the holidays brighten the night, allow yourself to be truly present- to receive the gift of the present, celebrate, create moments of great joy, laugher and connection, make time to speak with your ancestors and practice the rituals of humans and your own cultures, if called to- dream of and create new rituals and events that align with and create connection and spread wisdom, and love to you and your soul family, and world.  Rejoice, share, reflect, give, love, dance, shake, howl, be wild, be free! 
• Masculine and feminine poles are joined in union during this time- allow them to rise in their oneness and togetherness. Fall in love with taking care of yourself and loving yourself. Fall in love with learning how to listen and best support and nurture yourself. 
• Love is all around and within you at all times- open your eyes and mind to see- receive, ask for help as needed, you deserve it- always.
• Admist the stress, chaos and change- Capricorn energy is stable, guiding and supportive. Tap in by connecting to your body, moving it, and creating new structures that allow you the freedom to flow and let go! 
• Long term vision requires you to be rooted in the dream but flexible on how it gets there- be serious, but have fun and be silly along the way. 
• The darkness is what shows you the power of your awareness and your light- imagine yourself as a child who maybe had some bad past experiences, punishing, pushing and forcing yourself to move on, doesn’t help. Guide yourself, repeat positive affirmations, remind yourself you deserve the best, don’t give up on or desert you- and say no to anything not nurturing to you! Hold your own hand and bring yourself and your darkness, your fears, your worries, into the light, to be seen, held, and alchemized, once and for all! 
• Release and make room for the new to come in before the new moon tomorrow and the start of the new year! Take inventory, clean up, Let go.
• Express gratitude for your reality, your awareness, your heart, your path. Love on and gently release the past- it created and brought you to who you are today. Embrace the present, let the chatters of your mind silence, and create room for your soul and this moment to breathe and just be
  In doing so- 
  You release all that makes you feel sad, bad or shamed! You don’t deserve to use your energy to beat yourself up anymore- or to use the time given to take shit from anyone - outside or within yourself. 
• Finally, know that Capricorn season is a time of powerful internal self reflection, and transmutation and prioritizing your own well- being.
  
  Know that any work you do inside will radiate on the outside- and eventually out into the entire world. So, slow down, enjoy the moment, embrace pleasure, and take the time to take care of you and your inner world first-  All else will move around and rise to this same loving devotional living you create from within ❤️ 
  
  

With love, from love, always,
