Capricorn season arrives in the second half of December along with the Winter Solstice (for those in the Northern Hemisphere). This sign is associated with self-mastery and the responsible handling of resources. Learning to embody this energy can help you set realistic goals, take disciplined action, and build intelligently.
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by hard-working Saturn. It is ambitious and dedicated. This is a transpersonal archetype who seeks out a dream worth pursuing and then sees it through to completion. Capricorn can show you how to rise to the top and achieve anything you set your mind to while also making conscious contributions to the collective.

By learning to move the energy of this powerful archetype through your physical body, you attract the magick of Capricorn into your life more quickly. Below are some ideas and suggestions you can incorporate into your dance and movement practices to align with this energy...
Energetic Qualities of Capricorn:
- Earth - present, sensual, grounded, supportive and stable
- Yang/Solar - moves energy out into the world, away from yourself
- Cardinal - initiates NEW motion/shapes/sequences
Moving with the Capricorn Archetype:
The movement themes present in the story of Capricorn are that of a leader and a master builder. This archetype will commit to the efforts needed to clear and prepare a foundation and then build supportive structures in a strategic manner. Experiment with initiating strong movements around the body, using the hands and arms to depict actions such as clearing, turning, leveling, and pressing. Create sequences and shapes that express the formation of something tangible. Be sure to commit to a steady pace and utilize repetition. You may want to begin on your knees so that you can focus on maintaining a conscious connection with the ground beneath you.
