Your Winter Solstice Horoscope Is Here To Show You How To Take What You Want

by Roya Backlund

The cosmos are about to take you through the next phase of the zodiac cycle, so get ready for a serious shift in energy. Autumn was about reaping what you sowed, polishing off your spiritual harvest, and preparing for darkness. When does this darkness begin? With the winter solstice, of course, which is slated to take place on Friday, Dec. 21, 2018. As it so happens, the dive into winter always coincides with the beginning of Capricorn season. Coincidence? Your winter solstice 2018 horoscope thinks not.

Spiritually speaking, the winter solstice marks the beginning of a period of hibernation and introspection. After all, in the cold and dead of winter, our ancestors could not grow too much. However, they could spend a lot of time thinking about everything they could grow once the ice melts and the flowers bloom in spring. In essence, this transition into the next season is about planning for the future and manifesting success. With the sun in ambitious, spearheading, career-oriented, and karmic Capricorn, what can't you accomplish? It's time to praise yourself for everything you did right over the past year, as well as learn from everything you did wrong. Spend winter asking yourself what it is you truly want out of the new year.
