The sun in Aries illuminates the home and family sector of your chart, finding you eager to get cozy at home, cuddle up with loved ones, and reminisce about the past. Or perhaps you’re moving, planning renovations, or addressing concerns with family or housemates. You might be engaged in your spiritual practice, too. This is a fantastic time of year for Capricorns to donate items they no longer need and energetically cleanse their homes.
