Upcoming, the December solstice
Sun in Capricorn, 2029
Sun enters Capricorn on Friday 21 December 2029, 14:14 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Aquarius on Sunday 20 January 2030, 00:54 UTC, after 29 days.
Shortest daylight in the north and longest in the south mark the December solstice, which in 2029 arrives on 21 December at 14:14 UTC as the Sun moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. The Sun spends 29 days here, crossing into Aquarius on 20 January 2030 at 00:54 UTC, so this stay bridges the turn of the calendar year.
Astrologers read Capricorn as the sign of structure, responsibility, patience and effort measured over years rather than weeks. Under Saturn's rulership, the tradition treats this season as a time to look at commitments soberly and ask which ones still deserve your time. One modest suggestion is to review a single longer project and set a realistic next milestone rather than a sweeping resolution.
