Read MoreAt the end of each year, we get to move between Sagittarius and Capricorn as we transition into the next. Sagittarius is the sign associated with travelling away from the familiar, and it’s the archetype of adventure and growth. Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius holds the energy of expansion and good luck.

It’s not surprising that the holiday season can feel restrictive for some of us.

The pandemic has brought us face-to-face with the fact that the future is in shadow, like walking through a dark wood with only a small lantern in hand. Scorpio season allows us the opportunity to integrate that truth instead of running away from it.
