Sun in Capricorn by Kelli Fox, the Astrologer

Sun in Capricorn: December 21 – January 19

Striving for Success

While the Sun is in Capricorn, and depending on how it influences your natal chart, you may feel driven to succeed. You could find yourself working long hours to achieve your goals and bring long-term projects to completion. You might not have much time for your personal life, and might even neglect your health. In your drive to get the job done, be sure not to sacrifice too much. Make sure that what you’re working for is your definition of success, and not someone else’s.

Responsibilities

You might feel like you’re under a lot of pressure, from within yourself or from an authority figure. Your responsibility — your ability to respond — is likely to be tested. Watch out for being overly rigid or controlling, and remember that asking for support when you need it is a sign of strength, not weakness! If you can keep your sense of humor, so much the better.

Persistence and Stamina

The influence of the Capricorn Sun can help you get organized and improve the functionality of systems and structures in your life. Daunting tasks can be tackled with a step-by-step approach, and once you get started, you’ve got the persistence and stamina to see it to completion.

High Standards

Your standards are impossibly high right now — so much so, that you might fall into a depression seeing the distance between where you are and where you want to be, and feel too overwhelmed to get to work. Break your long-term goals down into small steps and be willing to start where you are. Remember that every outstanding accomplishment starts with a humble beginning.
