I am bursting with excitement, for December will be one of the sweetest, most joyful months of 2019. I can’t wait for you to read all I have to say. It will be a month that has almost everything, including a solar eclipse (no worries, this eclipse will glow with benefits for every sign), a move of Jupiter, the good fortune planet, to a new sign, and a very rare, glorious aspect December 15.

I am excited to announce two new appearances, the first in New York City on Friday, December 6 and one, a month later, in Dallas-Ft. Worth, on January 4, 2020. I will appear in Los Angeles at the Conscious Life Expo in February and will post that information shortly.

You have an extraordinary chart, and if you could bottle your star power and sell it, people would beat a path to your door and snap it up at any price. You have waited 12 years to see a year this special, and it will begin now, this month. I call it the start of your Emerald Year—a year when so many of your dreams will come to fruition. We only get eight Emerald years in a lifetime, assuming you live to 96.

I cannot think of a sign more deserving than you to receive the plethora of goodies Jupiter is about to send you, dear Capricorn. Ever since your ruling planet, Saturn, entered Capricorn on December 19, 2017, you began a challenging period, and over the past two years, you were tested on many levels. As is usual with your sign, you soldiered on no matter how daunting the tasks, taking one day at a time and putting one foot in front of the other. You are a realistic soul, and you don’t spend time worrying about things you cannot change, so you focused only on the situations that you could improve, fix, or advance.

Of all the signs, you were tested the most, yet you complained the least. Saturn remains in one sign—in this case, Capricorn–for nearly 3 years. Saturn shows up every 29 years, so if you do the math, you see that you can only have two to three visits of taskmaster Saturn to Capricorn in your lifetime. Saturn, knowing he will not have time to visit you more often, sets up tests and lessons that are so vivid that you will remember all you were taught in three years for the following three decades. You may not realize how much you have grown—think back to where you were in 2016 and early-to-mid 2017, before this trend began.

The universe is about to reward you for your dedication, concentration, and willingness to work with Saturn’s tests over the past two years by sending Jupiter, planet of good fortune, to Capricorn on December 2, 2019, to stay until December 19, 2020—a full year. Jupiter will see that you will increasingly find and take advantage of lucky breaks and opportunities. More and more, you will find yourself at the right place at the right time. Finding love may be the greatest joy of all for single Capricorns. Additionally, you will be able to garner the attention of VIPs, make many new friends, and some of these new friends will have an important role to play in your future.

You will have rare control over events because so many planets are back to Capricorn spreading their warmth all over your chart. You have Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Venus (in the first half until December 19), and later, the Sun and new moon. That new moon in Capricorn will not be just any normal new moon. Rather, it will be one so dazzling it will have the power of three new moons rolled into one, for it will be a solar eclipse in Capricorn on December 25 or 26. (In North and South America, it will be December 25. In the rest of the world, it will be December 26.) The opportunities and news coming to you will be new, and it looks like you have no idea yet of what is coming—these surprises are good ones!

    The universe is about to reward you for your dedication, concentration, and willingness to work with Saturn’s tests over the past two years by sending Jupiter, planet of good fortune, to Capricorn on December 2, 2019, to stay until December 19, 2020—a full year. Jupiter will see that you will increasingly find and take advantage of lucky breaks and opportunities. More and more, you will find yourself at the right place at the right time. Finding love may be the greatest joy of all for single Capricorns.

If you are single, having Jupiter in your sign is the best place to discover the one person to fall in love with and with whom you can build a life together. If you are already attached, the two of you will grow closer and have more fun this year. It is very possible that Jupiter’s broadening influence will result in an exciting foreign trip to a country you always hoped to see but feared you never would be able to go.

Your health will improve too, and your old optimism will return. Jupiter is called the great healer, because having this planet in your sign is known to help rejuvenate you physically and mentally. If you have not been well, keep in mind that astrologers also call Jupiter the planet of miracles. Keep your chin up and seek a doctor who is up on all the newest medical techniques and breakthroughs. You now have reason for hope.

As an aside, if you were born between 1988 and 1992, many of the planets were in Capricorn during those years too, and this year will light up your natal Capricorn planets. People born in those years will find the coming year one that will be friendly and encouraging. Of course, no period ever replicates an earlier period exactly, but if you were born during the time I listed, you are likely to feel that Earth is a friendly place to be.

Jupiter was not one of the planets orbiting in Capricorn during those years, 1988 to 1992, so this coming year, 2020, will bring Jupiter into the picture, making for an even more encouraging environment to you. Your feeling of ease with life events will seem new, for over the last two years, you were being challenged at every turn. Now you will move into a sunny, happy period, no matter what year you were born.

A new baby might form part of the picture of 2020 for you, too. The baby might be your own, your sister’s, brother’s, or cousin’s. If so, that little munchkin will spread joy to the entire family. If you have children, they will be protected and encouraged by events throughout the New Year. One or more of your children will bring you happy news in this extraordinary year ahead.

Eclipses are the most radical tool the universe uses to create change. They will speed up your timetable and ask you to re-arrange plans. They reveal to us that we are capable of doing more than we suppose, and in the case of a new moon solar eclipse, you will move in a new direction.

This month, at the eclipse of December 25/26 and with a number of planets in your sign, you will think about your own needs and the direction that you’d like to drive your life to next. Next month you will have a full moon lunar eclipse January 10 in Cancer, your partnership/marriage house. At that time, you’ll focus on your partner in love or business, but for now, simply think about what you want in life. The January eclipse will set your meditation in motion. Eclipses have a way of clarifying thinking, so what you weren’t sure about before the eclipse, you will be after the eclipse.

All new moon solar eclipses tend to create a new path that was not there before it appeared. This can be quite exciting. This December eclipse is fantastic because remarkably, it will arrive conjunct Jupiter, an exceedingly rare situation. The solar eclipse will be at four degrees, and Jupiter will be at five degrees, both in Capricorn, so the new moon eclipse and Jupiter will arrive on the head of a pin, and it thrills me to share this with you. On top of this, Uranus, planet of surprise, will be at three-degrees Taurus and send his silvery electric beams to the solar eclipse from his position in your fifth house of truelove, children, and creativity—again, a perfect mathematical trine, meaning great harmony. How lucky can you get?

All Capricorns will do well, but those Capricorns born December 25-26 or in the four days before or after will enjoy a double dip of pleasure. The same is true of those readers who have Capricorn rising at four degrees, plus five or minus four degrees. If you have the natal moon or planet at four-degrees Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, plus five degrees or minus four degrees, that planet will be lit up and beneficial to you. There are so many happy surprises that are about to rain down on you this month!

Wait, there is more news! Directly after the eclipse, we come to your next big day, the Luckiest Day of the Year due on December 27, when the mighty Sun will conjoin Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck. In this configuration, the Sun will multiply the goodness of Jupiter many times over. The Sun is the natural ruler of your eighth house of other people’s money, so you may receive a very valuable gift—such as a diamond or other valuable piece of jewelry. I feel many Capricorns will get engaged this month, a joyous time to do so. Your parents may give you a gift of cash or stock.

There are other ways money may come to you. You may have earned the money through a commission, bonus, royalty, or licensing fee, or a large check may arrive the last week of December from an insurance company or represent a division of property in a divorce or other court settlement. With your eighth house of other people’s money being activated, you may be approved for a large bank loan or mortgage, or you may raise a large sum of venture capital.

You will be the darling of the zodiac because most of the planets are in earth signs, and mainly Capricorn. This will give you clout you’ve rarely enjoyed. This would be a perfect month to voice ideas, for you will find it easier than usual to get them approved and funded. With Venus in your sign, you might want to buy new clothes in December—you will find them to be madly flattering—and to find ways to refresh your appearance. With so many planets in your sign, you will easily turn heads when you enter parties and other gatherings. Such fun!

Your work will require your full attention, and you will be working to finish a project against a tight deadline on December 11 when there will be a full moon in Gemini 20 degrees. A full moon in the Twins sign of Gemini could point to two assignments that need to be finished or two clients or executives who need your attention.

If you want more time to complete things, I feel you will only be able to get an extension to Friday, December 13. That full moon will be at cross-purposes to Neptune, so make sure you understand the directive you’re given to complete. There is no harm in double checking what you think you heard to ascertain that everyone is on the same page. You may discover that various member of the team may have assumed different instructions.

Now let’s move to matters of romance which should be very special in December. Having Jupiter in your sign is the very best place to find new love or to grow closer in love with the person you are with now.

Romance will sparkle brightest in the first part of the month, while Venus will still be in Capricorn, until December 19. Venus will move to Aquarius after that, so here are the dates to circle on your calendar:

Mars will remain in Scorpio all month, a place Mars moved into November 19 and will stay in Scorpio, a sign that blends perfectly with yours, until January 3. Mars will be lighting your eleventh house of fun, friends, and parties, the perfect place for Mars to be at holiday time. The eleventh house is also the house of charitable and humanitarian efforts, so at some point in the month you might volunteer to help your favorite cause, and if so, it will warm your heart to know you are doing good for others.

On Tuesday, December 3, Mars will contact Venus in Capricorn. This is a sexy, flirtatious vibration, so if you are hoping to meet a new romantic interest, this could be the day when it happens. If you are attached, consider making a reservation in a festive restaurant for a beautiful dinner for two after work.

The weekend of December 7-8 should be a glamorous weekend, for Venus in Capricorn will receive signals from Neptune in Pisces. This would be an ideal time for a sojourn into the country and to take artistic photographs along the way. If you don’t have the time to stay away overnight, then take your road trip on Sunday, December 8, your best, most romantic day of the weekend. The transiting moon will help love along by gliding through Taurus.

Your next days to circle in gold will be extra special: December 14-15, a five-star weekend for love. This is so special it might take your breath away. On this weekend, December 14-15 (influential for a plus or minus one day), you will have Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus in perfect alignment. Uranus is in your truelove sector, an area that also rules children, pregnancy, and birth. This could be an enchanting time for you.

On December 19, action Mars will receive a friendly beam from Saturn, a highly stabilizing aspect, perfect for making a verbal or written agreement with another party. Saturn is your ruler, so this would be an extra-special day for this kind of activity.

This is the month you long awaited, whether you realized it or not. You have hosted Saturn on your Sun in Capricorn since December 2017 and ever since, you have been beset with challenges that you calmly met head-on with your characteristic stoic sensibility and steadfast courage. You are a practical soul, and if something cannot be changed, you found a way to deal with it.

Against this background, you also have been setting up the foundation of your life for the coming 29 years by responding to a series of tests that Saturn had directed your way. None of this has been easy, but you have been maturing at a rapid rate. Family and friends have noticed your growing maturity and accorded you much admiration for how well you are doing.

If you are an early-born Capricorn, that is, if your birthday falls in December, your toughest year was 2018. If your birthday falls in the first half of January, this past year, 2019, was your hardest year. Those readers born January 10-19 will have more tutoring from Saturn in 2020, but by year’s end, December 2020, you will be finished with Saturn for the next three decades. No matter when your birthday happens to fall, the actions you are taking now to stabilize your future will form the pillars of your life. In 2020, Saturn will temporarily move into Aquarius from March 20 to July 1, 2020, so you will get a breather during that time, the first one you’ve seen since December 19, 2017.

Now, on December 2, the universe is dispatching Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, to Capricorn, and you are poised to start your best year in 12 years, starting now and ending December 19, 2020. All the work you did over the past two years has bolstered your authority, and you are ready to receive all the gifts that Jupiter has in store for you.

In this coming year, you will be the celestial favorite of all signs, given more opportunities and lucky breaks in all areas of life. You will notice the difference—enjoy the new chapter of life you are starting now. You will have a year filled with possibilities for career success, exciting travel, good health, and falling in love with someone new or growing closer to the person who is already the love of your life.

Ancient astrologers wrote that many of the people you meet in the year Jupiter visits your sign will become the ones who will prove important to you and help you advance many personal and professional goals. One person in particular will likely stand out as a possible romantic interest—if you start a love relationship in 2020, this person is likely to be one who stays in your life a long time. If you are single, it will be vital that you circulate now and in the coming months.

A very important and happy weekend for you will be December 14-15 when, in an exceedingly rare alignment, Jupiter and Uranus will be in supremely harmonious position, when you might meet someone out of the blue. Cupid will be working hard for you, so look your best—you will not expect to feel Cupid’s arrow, but when you do, you will feel an instant attraction. This is due to be a sparkling weekend, so if you are invited to a party, you must accept!

Your biggest day will be the solar eclipse in Capricorn on December 25/26 (depending on where you live). If your birthday falls on one of these two day or within five days of these dates, you will be doubly touched. By that point in the month, other planets will have gathered around the solar eclipse new moon and her partner, the Sun, both in Capricorn. In the entourage will be Jupiter (good fortune), Pluto (financial gain), and Saturn (stability). The solar eclipse of December 25/26 will serve as the official opening of your Emerald Year, a gorgeous year that will give you more opportunity on more levels than you’ve seen in a decade—or possibly ever in your life. Uranus, the planet of surprise, in a perfect degree and in earth-sign Taurus, will zing that eclipse and set off exciting news from your truelove sector. If you have found your truelove, the news could involve a pregnancy or birth. This same house rules your creativity, so you may get approved for a new project that will thrill you.

Directly after the eclipse and influencing it, will come the Luckiest Day of the Year, December 27, a day the Sun and Jupiter will align perfectly. This is an annual event, but it has not been since December 2007 that the Sun and Jupiter aligned in Capricorn, so that makes this year’s date extra special for you. Technically, the Sun and Jupiter will not meet at all in 2020 but will on January 28, 2021, in Aquarius.

Use this date, December 27, to plant a seed, launch a new product or service, introduce your new app or blog in the marketplace, have a first date, purchase a luxurious item, sign a contract, close on a house, hire a contractor, start a new job, or something else that is meaningful to you.

Dear Capricorn, you have the month that will be spun with the golden threads that dreams are made of, and this month will only be the beginning of so much more to come to you. The year 2020 will likely be your landmark year when many of the goals you had long hoped to materialize will come true.
