About Sun

The Sun is your core self: the thing you're here to become and the energy you run on when you're most yourself. It's the sign you already know, but it's only the headline, not the whole story. For about a month, the Sun lights up one house and that area of life gets your attention whether you planned it or not. Expect it to feel like the obvious place to put your energy.

About Capricorn

Capricorn is ambition, discipline and a dry sense of humour that sneaks up on you. It plays the long game and usually wins it. At its best, Capricorn is the steady hand everyone trusts when it matters. Watch for treating rest as something you have to earn.

How long it lasts

About a month in each sign.
