Health & healing for Capricorn season and placements
As we kick off the winter season, we are energized with the ambitious nature of Capricorn. This goal-oriented season gifts us with the belief that we can achieve anything we set our minds to through hard work and determination. Making this the perfect time for new years resolutions, vision boards and strategy meetings. The patience of the cosmic goat allows to climb towards success at a steady, sustainable pace. With the fierce discipline of Capricorn it is critical to be sure that our goals aren't becoming a form of harmful self restriction. Though having something to work towards is fulfilling, if we don't make time to play, relax and enjoy ourselves what is all our hard work really for? In all our New Years plotting and planning let us commit to making room for spontaneity, boredom, and spaciousness in our days.

Capricorn Body
Skeletal System
Our bones make up the framework of our body, creating firm boundaries and a strategic system for movement. Just as Capricorn season does for our goals and aspirations. This season helps us to see the whole picture and create the most sustainable and realistic path forward. The strong and steady energy of the goat translates well to the strength and stability our bones provide. They allow us to stand up right while moving freely and confidently with our fragile insides safely protected. This gives us the sense of grounding we need to stay dedicated to our responsibilities. Similarly to our skeletal system, we can become too rigid and inflexible. Instead of pivoting and adjusting when situations change, we allow our stubbornness to dig its feet in to keep us on course no matter the obstacles or blocks ahead. This rigidity not only causes inflexibility in our hearts and minds but also an inflexibility in our joints, ligaments and tendons. This season is a good reminder that while having a plan is necessary, without a little fluidity and room for error our unyielding dedication to the plan only holds us back from achieving what we set out to do.
Capricorn Posture
Forward Fold
The striving nature of Capricorn can often keep people with these placements in a constant state of overwork. Doing anything and everything that must be done in order to attain their material desires. Which can lead to a disconnection of the mind and body. This seated forward fold is a great way to regain a sense of grounding, clearing our mind and bringing a sense of calm. As an Earth sign this can be extremely beneficial to Capricorns. This posture is a gentle and steady way to maintain flexibility in the spine and the knees, as it lengthens one of the knees stabilizers and Capricorns ruled muscle group, the hamstrings.
Try these postures to keep your knees strong and agile

Garland pose
