4 Zodiac Signs You’ll Feel The Winter Solstice’s Energy The Most!

The winter solstice occurs on December 21st, and it’s usually a little ominous. It’s the longest night of the year, signaling the arrival of shorter days and cooler weather. If just reading that makes you want to hibernate for the winter, you’ll be happy to hear that the stars are in their proper places to make that happen. According to astrology, the four zodiac signs most influenced by the winter solstice’s energies this year will experience a surge of powerful emotions that may take some time to absorb.

The Winter Solstice Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn

Once every 20 years, Saturn and Jupiter are in close proximity to one another. Until the discovery of the outermost three planets, Jupiter and Saturn were the ones furthest away from Earth. Many astrologers, persuaded by the alignment of Saturn and Jupiter, hold that planetary conjunctions of this type represent the longest cycles. Because of this, astrologers dubbed the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction “The Great Mutation,” which came to symbolize a shift in the cultural mood. The zeitgeist of a culture is the dominant emotional climate and set of values that characterize a specific historical epoch.

If we go back over the past 160 years, we can see that these conjunctions have ushered in massive shifts and altered the very fabric of the material plane. The many benefits of industrialization have made it the focal point of attention and a major driving force in the economy. The big confluence in the modern world has implications for both society and the mind. This can help make breakthrough technical developments even more likely. If the cultural perspective shifts from nationalism to universalism, it is possible that this will have an effect on our own lives.

These are the four zodiac signs most likely to be affected by the winter solstice:

Capricorn
Capricorn, your time has come! That puts you in a prime position to make significant progress toward even more ambitious objectives as the winter solstice approaches. While it’s important to utilize this enthusiasm, now is not the time for drastic measures. Mercury will be retrograde in your sign from December 29 to January 18. Consequently, this is not the time for Capricorns to make any major changes in their lives, and instead they should be concentrating on long-term planning.

Aries
As the first fire sign of the zodiac, Aries tends to be ambitious, active, and enthusiastic on a daily basis. It’s possible, though, that you’ll experience an increase in energy just as the winter solstice begins. Expansive Jupiter, which has been out of your sign since November, moves back into Scorpio on December 20 and will remain there for the next few months. It’s important to remember that the planet was also in Aries from May 10 to October 28 of this year, so the present transit may share some characteristics with that time frame.

Although you may be feeling a surge of energy, now is not the time to act. Your ruling planet, fiery Mars, is still in retrograde, so you should not rush into anything before giving it careful consideration. After Mars and Mercury become direct in late January, “that is the time for you to act and put those actions in place.”

Sagittarius
When the winter solstice occurs, the moon will be in your sign, triggering strong feelings. Now is the time to show your true feelings to the world. If you want to get over past hurts, “you must learn to say what you want and what you need in a clear and gentle way.”
Being open and honest about your feelings is good for your love life, whether you’re single or attached. The following few months may bring “huge learnings and improvements in the world of relationships.”

Gemini
With Mars retrograde in your sign (your first house of identification and ego), you’ve undoubtedly been doing some soul-searching and reinventing yourself during the past few weeks. You may have had to make an effort to let go of some of your previous motivations and techniques for achieving your goals. The moon’s opposition to retrograde Mars in your sign at the winter solstice might signal a turning point in this process.
