From December 22nd through January 19th the sun enters Capricorn season which marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Capricorn is a cardinal sign being positioned at the beginning of winter so when the temperatures start to drop Capricorn’s energy encourages us to work on our pursuits even when the winter months may have us feeling all the cosy feels. It’s a time of hibernation and preparing for the Spring when seeds begin to bloom.

As an Earth sign Capricorns are practical, self-reliant, determined, and extremely ambitious. They might be materialistic and like the finer things in life but who wouldn’t when you are this dedicated? Capricorns are the type to keep going when others would give up. Capricorns get what they set their minds to in both their personal and professional lives. They have a certain rep for being stubborn but really they just know what they want and will go after it with structure, tenacity, and hard work. This makes them great partners, friends, and collaborators.

They thrive on rules and order with a set way of doing things and clear boundaries as the sense of free reign can make them feel a little nervous. They are detail-oriented, and will not take no for an answer when they want something. 

Capricorns tend to keep their circles small are loyal and supportive to their loved ones and friends. They enjoy creating a secure, luxurious home, a comfortable lifestyle as this is important to them. Capricorns are also born perceptive - they are super self-aware of their traits and understand what makes others tick.

Romantically, Capricorns make for great partners, however only if they find a compatible, like-minded partner. They are very loyal showering their partner with gifts and affection. Having said that, they don't like conflicts and often treat misunderstandings like they would a work problem or a puzzle. They believe that hard work is just as necessary to make relationships work. This is a great quality that makes them great leaders however, can be problematic when it comes to their relationships as this often leads to somewhat of a controlling element.

The Capricorn serves us as a reminder of our own inner strength, how we can work hard and overcome challenges which helps to build resilience, to bounce back from things stronger and wiser. With the right focus, commitment you can achieve anything.

The Birthstone for a Capricorn is Garnet.  As an Earth element, Garnet has a special affinity with Capricorn it is powerfully grounding and not only enhances one’s motivation to work on professional endeavours, but also boosts one’s love and passion for what they do. While Capricorns are already passionate workers by nature, they tend to fall into a rut when projects don’t go as planned. Garnet gives one that extra push to finish what is started in spite of setbacks one might encounter along the way.

Black Tourmaline is also connected to the  Capricorn because of its ability to purify negativity with self or in the surroundings you find yourself. It also clears the mind of overcrowding thoughts, allowing goal-oriented Capricorn to focus on what’s important and let go of thoughts and energies that no longer serve them.

 It helps to block toxic and unwanted energy in the workplace allowing your creative juices to flow freely and minimising the impact of negative energies around, which helps with focus.

Our Garnet necklaces make perfect gifts for yourself or that hard-working and dedicated Capricorn in your life, that deserves something special.
