Upcoming, the December solstice
Sun in Capricorn, 2030
Sun enters Capricorn on Saturday 21 December 2030, 20:10 UTC, which is in your time zone. It is still there at the end of 2030.
At 20:10 UTC on 21 December 2030, the Sun leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn, marking the December solstice. This is the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest in the Southern. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, and the Sun is still in it when 2030 ends.
The tradition reads Capricorn as the sign of structure, responsibility, long-term goals and earned authority. Astrologers treat the Sun's passage here as a season that favors planning, patience and realistic commitments over quick gestures, with rigidity and overwork as the classic pitfalls. A modest suggestion for the turn of the year: write down one goal for the months ahead, and next to it the first dull, necessary step it requires.
