Capricorn

Also this week: musical guest Vampire Weekend performed “Gen-X Cops” and “Capricorn.”

“Constellation” has elements of 1970s-style paranoid thrillers like “Capricorn One” and “The Parallax View,” combined with scenes showing the nuts and bolts of space travel, as in Apple TV’s “For All Mankind.”

During the Northern Hemisphere’s winter solstice, the sun appears directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, the Tropic of Cancer’s southern mirror image.

Astrologically, in my chart, I have a lot of Capricorn placements in my fourth house that deal with ancestry, past life karma.

What I’m getting the people I love this season: My Aquarius placements don’t subscribe to the capitalist gifting obligations of mass holidays — because my Capricorn placements are always giving my loved ones little presents year-round.
