As Venus enters Capricorn, a look at family wounds, holiday pressure, and why peace doesn’t come from pretending everything’s fine
I’ve been a total “bah humbug” about Christmas for years. Honestly, I couldn’t care less. I’m not religious, and for a long time, the holidays didn’t bring me joy. They brought stress. Sadness. A familiar knot in my chest.
This week, as Venus moves into Capricorn on Christmas Eve, I want to talk about how to create real peace during the holidays without abandoning ourselves — especially when family feels complicated.
For years, Christmas felt heavy for me. Family stress, anxiety, and old scabs getting ripped off, year after year. The worst was the Christmas my dad locked me out of the house — all day — on Christmas Day. I stood outside knocking, hollering, waiting, hoping he would open the door. He never did.
