Blessed Winter Solstice (in the Northern hemisphere)! Capricorn, last of the earth elementals, is of cardinal triplicity, connecting it to the initiatory cards of its corresponding Tarot suit: 2-4 of Pentacles/Disks and the Queen.
Famous for their persistence, discipline, and resourcefulness, Capricorn is arguably the most down to earth of all the signs. The qualities of the sure-footed mountain goat remind us to stay the course in times of difficulty with calm presence oof mind and integration with our natural surroundings.
‘We humans are also animals, and we deny our animal nature and needs at our cost. Perhaps we need to dance in the forest, feel the earth under our feet, the sun on our face, pay attention to nature, take time to feel its different textures on our skin, be still, and breathe in the scent of the earth.’ -Julia Jeffreys

*Special Note: Please forgive Eliza’s continued refusal to learn to pronounce or understand the proper usage of the Greek word ‘chimera’. The correct pronunciation is, in fact, KY-MER-AH and its meaning is an amalgamation of animal parts into one creature.
