December 21 ushers in Capricorn, meaning the hardest working sign of the zodiac is in season – let them share their good example.
This is a time to get practical, determined, in control and stronger. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the task-master planet which forces you to take responsibility, make good on your commitments, and lay down a firm foundation in your life.
Capricorns are all about health, wealth, work and home. They build strong nests, powerful careers, and long lives with a enviable legacy. Be more Capricorn!
Let’s use the tarot to pull a ‘foundation card’ showing where you need more stability, responsibility, or long-term focus. And then put that plan into action. Start 2026 right.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Tarot card for Aries for Capricorn season: The Devil
Meaning: Commitment to the right path, focus on the rewarding and positive and wholesome aspects of your life that you treasure (but maybe take for granted because there’s more exciting, tempting stuff elsewhere).
Stop spending and start investing. Stop flirting and start building something. Stop wasting time, it’s too precious. You know what you want, deep down, and you’re so strong you can make it work no matter what. Life will move fast. If you let yourself follow whatever temptation is in front of you, then you’ll never anchor onto anything substantial or lasting. Refocus.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Tarot card for Taurus for Capricorn season: Five of Swords
Meaning: Conflict and disagreement has crept into your realm and needs urgent attention because it prevents you from feeling certain and secure about the future, which is very important.
The outcome is up in the air and it needs bringing down the Earth and landing. Take ownership of this process. Be the mediator, negotiator and compromiser. Offer resolutions. Be calm and composed. Get this issue pinned down and dealt with and feel back in control (as you like it).

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Tarot card for Gemini for Capricorn season: Ace of Wands
Meaning: You need to focus in on what you’re going to activate in 2026. And make a priority list, but with no more than three big things. Ideally just one!
You can be a little scattergun, random, eclectic, and it can dilute your power and energy. So, give your best idea/s the best shot by deciding to make them the priority. This might pertain to travel, purpose, career, education or creativity.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Tarot card for Cancer for Capricorn season: Ace of Swords
Meaning: A reality check is needed. Maybe ask for feedback or an opinion, a truthful one, and see what it jolts within you, if it aligns or feels out of sync. Sometimes you push stuff down that’s difficult to deal with, and there is can fester.
The Ace of Swords is a cutting tool for extracting truth and helps you clarify what’s going on, see it clearly, and deal with it. Focus on the areas of health, wealth, work and home. Find out what you need to know and work on in 2026.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Tarot card for Leo for Capricorn season: Ten of Cups
Meaning: A long-term approach to your relationships, your inner circle (family, partner, best friend/s). You are always in demand and you tend to give whatever is in flavour right now your 100% attention… and the long runners and ever-present folk can get forgotten a little.
It pains them. So, make an effort to organise your social time and energy more. Prioritise the inner circle and then give the newbies and experiments what’s left, rather than the other way around! You will feel and notice the difference. You are loved and needed.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Tarot card for Virgo for Capricorn season: The High Priestess
Meaning: Commitment to trusting your gut instinct and intuition when it comes to your own wellbeing, security, finances, and foundations. Don’t think that other folk know better, do better, or are in on some secret gig. They aren’t (though they may pretend to be).
Ask yourself what matters most in your realm. What you’d protect at all costs. What makes you feel safe and secure and in control in this world. That is your priority. Attend to it. Follow your instincts when it comes to how and why. You already have all the answers.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Tarot card for Libra for Capricorn season: The World
Meaning: You are entering an important phase of transition, of moving from one chapter to the next, pivoting towards a new goal or horizon. Do this consciously. Be clear which realm/version/ambition you’re working on at any one time, and that you give appropriate energies and commitments.
Don’t over-extend yourself on things coming to a natural conclusion or end. Don’t hang back from activating vital work on new or emerging priorities. Balance your time and resources between present and future. Both matter.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Tarot card for Scorpio for Capricorn season: Two of Swords
Meaning: Saturn wants you to face into an important, possibly overdue, decision. It may relate to your home, health, wealth or work – or maybe a combination of them. It weighs on your mind but it needs to be addressed now, no more procrastination, no more discussion.
Answer any remaining unanswered questions and do the best with what you know. There are never any guarantees in doing the right thing, but know that you can always make a new decision should it prove flawed. No pressure. No overthinking. Just action. Get to it.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Tarot card for Sagittarius for Capricorn season: Eight of Wands
Meaning: You are a very social person and this bleeds into your professional life too. You have a vast and deep network of likely and unlikely contacts, and you should make a plan right now of you can best nurture, refresh, refine, and organise this group.
It’s via who vs what you know that most of your opportunities have come. Spin that fortune wheel again in 2026 by revamping your network and paying new attention to folk in it. Align your goals with your people and get social again.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Tarot card for Capricorn for Capricorn season: The Chariot
Meaning: Commitment to your purpose. You know what that is, or are very close to defining it. You are ruled by Saturn already so taking ownership and getting s*** done is what you do everyday anyway. Actually, your sign’s season is like a little holiday!
Step back from the action, have fun, rest up more, and spend time thinking vs doing. Get clear on your goals and ambitions and desires in 2026 – from home to work, personal growth to pleasure, travel to lifestyle. Where do you want to be this time next year?

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Tarot card for Aquarius for Capricorn season: The Hanged Man
Meaning: You are ready to lay down a new foundation, or dig something up, smash it, and start anew! You’re not quite sure how or what yet. But you feel like you’ve put down roots or commitments in the wrong place for you longer term.
Don’t suppress this feeling. Let it rise, let it live with you awhile. The answer as to what to do is coming this Capricorn season. It will accelerate to you by talking about this feeling, having offbeat and unexpected conversations with folk you mightn’t normally talk to in this way. So, speak up. An answer will come.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Tarot card for Pisces for Capricorn season: Four of Wands
Meaning: You are making a plan for promotion and progress in 2026. You are on the up and looking to rise. Climbing that ladder feels possible and positive right now, because you feel confident and can envision your trajectory through the ranks or into the position you covet.
So, make that plan. Make this a conscious and overtly pursued goal. The Universe will see you at work and get the hint, and bring new luck and opportunity to the game. You are playing to win.
