Until the 22, the Sun continues to spotlight your career and public sector. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight. A time when practical vision may be at a high, during which you can see what needs to be done and just how to go about doing it. Career and vocational issues may benefit from the increased clarity you possess. Much of your energy will be applied to vocational achievement, professional success, and leadership during this cycle. The desire for some form of recognition and financial success is stronger than any other time of the year. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming
true from the 22. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's
exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, and social. Group
affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and
networking pays off. Being part of a community or circle of friends and
building your social network is important to you at this time. This is a
rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're
attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact
with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during
this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now.
Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that
is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and
progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to
plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future. Mercury is retrograde until the 15th. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart. Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and other professional matters, can be tricky. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely. After the 15th, these matters begin to resolve and resume in a more "normal" fashion. Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house until the 18, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy. Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector from the 18. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time. Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house all month, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations. Note that Mercury is retrograde until the 15th. During this cycle, delays or miscommunications in these areas are possible. It's a good time in which to revise and rethink career goals and projects.Mars energizes your solar eleventh house this month. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights: October 6-7 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change. October 8-9 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible. October 14 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time. October 15-16 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September |
Overview.
Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit that started in the last week of September finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don't fall into the trap of blind optimism, it's a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.
From the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Others are likely to turn to you for advice this month, dear Capricorn, as all eyes turn to you. If you feel that others are judging you for what you have and haven’t done this month, you’re probably correct! Trips could be especially rewarding for you right now--they can provide a pleasant breather from pressures in your life. You are feeling especially proud and even buoyant in September, and this confidence enhances all areas of life. Romance may be found through your career and business activities. A private project can pay off now.Venus
warms your solar tenth house until the 23rd. During this cycle, you are
most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and
authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period
overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well
as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is
charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career
and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You
are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or
simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are
socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good
managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly
through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this
cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house from the 23rd. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
All month, Mercury is in your solar tenth house, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations. Note that Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th and stays retrograde until October 15th.
During this cycle, delays or miscommunications in these areas are possible. It's a good time in which to revise and rethink career goals and projects.Mars continues to activate and energize your tenth house this month,
bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters.
You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand
now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional
involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive
for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see
practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job
correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership
skills. Don't, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as
aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Highlights:
September 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 7-9 Both Jupiter and Pluto turn direct after months of retrogradation; and Jupiter trines Saturn. Personal projects begin to move forward, and you find you are well-received. Repayment for past good deeds is likely now.
September 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 10-15 This is a good time for career and reputation matters. Plenty of activity, discussion, and movement is experienced.
September 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 15 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
September 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 29 New Moon in Libra in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon on October 28. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It's a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
September 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
August 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
August |
Overview.
Until the 22, the Sun continues to spotlight your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
From the 22, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your
focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have
occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time
during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a
leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to
your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here
and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything
that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality
finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It
would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of
sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen
now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily
grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression
through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel
good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could
lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Solar Eclipse on the 1st at 10 degrees Leo. The other is a Lunar Eclipse on the 16th at 24 degrees of Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 25-August 1st and then August 9th-16th.
The Solar Eclipse on the 1st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.
Venus warms your adventure sector from the 5-30. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house until the 10. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.
From the 10-28, Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars continues to transit your solar ninth house until the 19, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can't travel, you'll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don't tire you out. Time flies when you're having fun and leaves you with more vigor than when you began. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you've never done before.
Mars activates your solar tenth house from the 19.
This transit stimulates your ambition and/or
your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's
professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for
others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or
start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable.
Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more
energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Highlights:
August 1 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo in your solar eighth house affects you for 3-6 months. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
August 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 12-13 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 15-16 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 16 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in late Aquarius in your solar second house. The effects of this eclipse will be with you for the next 3-6 months. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
August 20-21 An important conversation or connection with a lover or child occurs now. Friendship matters run well--you receive a boost from a friend.
August 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 26-27 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
July 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
July |
Overview.
Until the 22, the Sun continues to illuminate your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It's important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.
From the 22, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change,
sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources,
addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of
months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner,
or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an
excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself
of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and
self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate
matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well
you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery
skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual.
This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep
level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may
be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore
life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an
inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom
of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a
better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially
introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover
your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may
be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Negotiating and one-on-one relationships figure strongly for you in July, dear Capricorn. A love affair may become a little more serious now. Spending time with someone special is a focus. Your intimate life is especially pleasing from the 12th. Personal projects come to fruition on the 18th, when you are also vulnerable to emotional decision-making. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced this month. You are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or brand new subjects.
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 12th. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships--both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Venus warms your intimacy sector from the 12th. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury continues to transit your work and health sector until the 10. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.
Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 10-26. You tend to
weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into
account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is
possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing
viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with
others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a
one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others. You may
be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration
during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with
partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words
to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more
diplomatic than usual during this transit.
Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 26. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars energizes your solar ninth house this month. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
Highlights:
July 2 New Moon in Cancer in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon on August 1st. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.
July 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 6 Mercury trines Neptune and Venus trines Uranus. Social, romantic, intellectual, and financial opportunities arise now. For you, finances are strong, and career matters run smoothly. A romantic surprise may be in store.
July 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 18 A Full Moon occurs today in late Capricorn in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.
July 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
October |
Overview.
This month, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector.
More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your
"place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the
time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing
something important. Your competency is something that you are
especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your
vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for
your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this
period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or
not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you
feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during
this period in the year.
Mercury is retrograde until the 15th. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart. Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and other professional matters, can be tricky. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely. After the 15th, these matters begin to resolve and resume in a more "normal" fashion.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house until the 27, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector from the 27. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house all month, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.
Note that Mercury is retrograde until the 15th. During this cycle, delays or miscommunications in these areas are possible. It's a good time in which to revise and rethink career goals and projects.Mars continues to activate and energize your tenth house until the 18, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don't, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Mars energizes your solar eleventh house from the 18.
Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best
way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of
ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to
dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during
this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on
others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this
period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You
may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your
humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other
people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule
gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
October 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 9-10 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 14 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.
October 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
September 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
September |
Overview.
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your
focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have
occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time
during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a
leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to
your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here
and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything
that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality
finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It
would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of
sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen
now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily
grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression
through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel
good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could
lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
Venus warms your solar tenth house from the 7th. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come though your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
From the 5th, Mercury is in your solar tenth house, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations. Note that Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th and stays retrograde until October 15th.
During this cycle, delays or miscommunications in these areas are possible. It's a good time in which to revise and rethink career goals and projects.Mars energizes your solar tenth house from the 3rd bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Highlights:
September 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 7-9 Both Jupiter and Pluto turn direct after months of retrogradation; and Jupiter trines Saturn. Personal projects begin to move forward, and you find you are well-received. Repayment for past good deeds is likely now.
September 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 10-15 This is a good time for career and reputation matters. Plenty of activity, discussion, and movement is experienced.
September 12-13 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 15 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
September 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 23-24 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 29 New Moon in Libra in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon on October 28. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It's a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.
September 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
August 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
August |
Overview.
This month, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation,
change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and
resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most
gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy
with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life.
This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to
rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power
and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now.
Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just
how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your
self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more
than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of
change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself
of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than
usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth
understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters
to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows
you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an
especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly
uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level,
you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more
than usual.
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Solar Eclipse on the 1st at 10 degrees Leo. The other is a Lunar Eclipse on the 16th at 24 degrees of Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 25-August 1st and then August 9th-16th.
The Solar Eclipse on the 1st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.
Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 14. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.
Venus warms your adventure sector from the 14. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury transits your solar eighth house until the 16. You are more
intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people
around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in
which to do some financial planning and strategizing. Research is also
highly favored. It's also easier for you to approach sensitive,
intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this
is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally
might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power,
intimacy, and finances.
From the 16, Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
Mars continues to transit your solar ninth house this month, making this a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can't travel, you'll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don't tire you out. Time flies when you're having fun and leaves you with more vigor than when you began. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you've never done before.
Highlights:
August 1 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo in your solar eighth house affects you for 3-6 months. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.
August 6-7 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 13-14 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 16 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in late Aquarius in your solar second house. The effects of this eclipse will be with you for the next 3-6 months. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.
August 16-17 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 20-21 An important conversation or connection with a lover or child occurs now. Friendship matters run well--you receive a boost from a friend.
August 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 26-27 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
July 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
July |
Overview.
This month, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of
year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing
ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner
provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to
realize your own potential through a significant other. During this
cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives
with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on
"us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support
of other people, and they may also seek out your support and
companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo
for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is
not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind
are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are
required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own
ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in
how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for
people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Negotiating and one-on-one relationships figure strongly for you in July, dear Capricorn. A love affair may become a little more serious now. Spending time with someone special is a focus. Your intimate life is especially pleasing from the 12th. Personal projects come to fruition on the 18th, when you are also vulnerable to emotional decision-making. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced this month. You are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or brand new subjects.
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 20th. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships--both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
Venus warms your intimacy sector from the 20th. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury continues to transit your work and health sector until the 16. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.
Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 16. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
Mars continues to energize your intimacy sector until the 18th, and your personal, intimate life speeds up. You experience every situation intensely and deeply during this cycle, even though your outward actions do not necessarily reveal this fact. You could find yourself attracted to mysterious or even dangerous situations. Sometimes this transit correlates with disputes over money. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support. Circumstances in life are likely to occur that require you to take the lead or to apply personal action in connection with joint finances.
Mars energizes your solar ninth house from the 18th. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
Highlights:
July 2 New Moon in Cancer in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon on August 1st. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.
July 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 6 Mercury trines Neptune and Venus trines Uranus. Social, romantic, intellectual, and financial opportunities arise now. For you, finances are strong, and career matters run smoothly. A romantic surprise may be in store.
July 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 17-18 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 18 A Full Moon occurs today in late Capricorn in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.
July 19-20 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you!

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
October 2008: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
October |
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun continues to illuminate your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.
From the 12, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector.
More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your
"place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the
time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing
something important. Your competency is something that you are
especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your
vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for
your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this
period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or
not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you
feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during
this period in the year.
Mercury is retrograde until the 15th. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart. Occurring in your solar tenth house this time, extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, and co-workers. You may find that communications with bosses and co-workers, and other professional matters, can be tricky. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood when dealing with the public. Put off making career decisions as much as possible for the time being. You may be re-thinking matters regarding your life path, but it's best to think rather than act for now, as your judgment may be compromised. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with authority figures during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely. After the 15th, these matters begin to resolve and resume in a more "normal" fashion.
Venus continues to move through your solar tenth house until the 10. You are more socially ambitious than usual during this cycle. Attention is drawn to your professional manner or your personal relationships become more public. More opportunities to socialize and network could present themselves now, or circumstances are such that you need to draw upon your diplomacy skills in order to advance.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house from the 10. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house all month, suggesting that your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing. Your mental qualities are well suited to managerial posts and any work requiring communication skill and executive ability during this cycle. Financial security, professional prestige, and social status are the dominant mental issues for the time being. Career planning strategies or thinking of concrete ways to turn your dreams into realities as well as sharing your thoughts on these matters with a few significant others should be very fruitful now. It is a good time to communicate with someone in a position to help you achieve your aspirations.
Note that Mercury is retrograde until the 15th. During this cycle, delays or miscommunications in these areas are possible. It's a good time in which to revise and rethink career goals and projects.Mars continues to activate and energize your tenth house this month, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don't, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Highlights:
September 30-October 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
October 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 14 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar fourth house. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.
