2012: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
2012 Overview for all Capricorns. 2012 is a year of hard work and accomplishment for you, dear Capricorn, but it’s not all about career and responsibilities, thankfully! While work challenges you all year, you experience more joy taking care of business in the second half of 2012. This comes as a relief, as there has been some stress in this area in recent years. Jupiter continues to bring fullness to your life in the areas of recreation, romance, and creativity until June. Many opportunities arise for you to go out and enjoy yourself. For most Caps, this period is about rediscovering the child within. Jupiter moves to your work and health sector in June, and this transit brings more opportunities for work (possibly even a little too many!) and more interest in, and enjoyment of, health routines, self-care improvements, and work projects. The North Node in the sign behind yours until August advises you to get more rest and to take time from your busy schedule to recoup now and then. Don’t push yourself too hard, and don’t neglect your more spiritual needs as you pursue other goals. From August forward, it will be important to pay more attention to friends and associates. Recognize their support and establish yourself as a team player. Home life may be on the unsettled or hectic side in 2012. Some of you will move or redecorate, or feel as if your current living conditions are somehow impermanent. Financial insecurities this year need to be dealt with, and ultimately lead to improved attitudes and strategies for managing money. Some of you will be working in a family business or with family, and some will be working from home. More money might be invested in home and family this year. Pluto challenges Capricorns born December 27-31 to take a look deep within for buried treasures. In the process, there could be some uncomfortable discoveries, as you uncover facets of your personality that you haven’t yet accepted or even acknowledged. The last quarter of the year brings strong opportunities to express yourself, promote an idea, or to push a project. Turning a long-standing dream into a reality is what this period is about.
2012 Details.
Until June 11th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar fifth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else’s creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For single Capricorns, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it’s more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments. Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you’ve always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it’s always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.
Jupiter entering Gemini on June 11th puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar sixth house. From June 2012 to June 2013, you Jupiter is moving through your solar sixth house, and you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you–perhaps even too available in that you don’t know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness–this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result. As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper this year, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn’t lead you to overload your plate with jobs.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from June 11th to October 4th. (This transit lasts until June 2013).
Jupiter transits trine your Sun from January to March 2012. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It’s natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.
For Capricorns born December 27-31 and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 6 to 9-1/2 degrees, Pluto is directly on your Sun/Ascendant in 2012. This transit acts to completely reshape your self-image. The changes inside of you are magnificent, and they spill out of you through different mannerisms, a new look, and a brand new way of presenting yourself to others. This is a time when you are reclaiming your personal power. “Life is what you make it”–you live and breathe this concept now. The things or even people that have held you back from being who you really are tend to be left behind during this transit, although the process can be difficult. Superficial attitudes or manners of self-expression no longer do it for you! Those of you Caps born later than December 31st will go through this period of self-transformation and self-empowerment in future years–Pluto is very slow-moving!
Saturn transits your solar tenth house again this year, but finishes this transit in October. This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional and/or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn’s scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and what it is exactly that you have been building has come up for inspection. Some of you are receiving recognition and career “rewards” at this time. If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it is a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand. Saturn’s transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening onea time when you are working hard, taking on your fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of your hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. You become aware of what you have and haven’t accomplished to date. You are now treated to a realistic look at what you have built and achieved. You no longer view your place in the world, your career, and your reputation with rose-colored glasses. At times you may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in your career. If this discomfort is great, it is only due to the fact that you may have been holding onto a false image of yourself. Saturn is no longer squaring your Sun this year, and you are no longer under the acute pressures associated with this transit.
From October forward, Saturn transits your solar eleventh house. This transit lasts until 2015. It’s strongest on you from October 2012 to October 2013. This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group. You are becoming more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. Some friendships built on weak foundations may be left behind. As well, events or realizations during this period inspire you to question where it is that you are going. Your long-term personal goals come under Saturn’s scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may come to the conclusion that your personal “circle” or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying. You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about “going through the motions”, doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation that you devote much of your time to. These themes continue this year. Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others’ lives, and consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know whom you can rely upon, and they know they can rely upon you!
For those of you born December 26-30, and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 4-8-1/2 degrees, Uranus squares your Sun and transits your solar fourth house in 2012. Your home life may be in a state of flux this year. It’s possible that you move house, but even if you don’t, there could be some disruptions to your domestic routine or erratic elements on the home front that you need to deal with. This transit could stimulate you to make changes that have long been overdue. For example, you might free yourself from limiting or frustrating circumstances. Your life speeds up, and decision-making can be very hasty now. You definitely feel the need for action this year, but if you don’t know where you’re headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you could feel a bit out of control at times. However, events could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. Letting go of old family conditioning or unhealthy ties to the past may be themes in 2012.
Neptune continues to transit your second house, as it has been doing for many years, but moves to your solar third house in February for those of you born early in your sign. Neptune’s influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
However, for those born December 22-25, Neptune moves into your solar third house and sextiles your Sun. During this cycle, you learn to rely on your intuition. You may have some problems arising from inattention to details, practical matters, and facts and figures. Others may find you less reliable in terms of making appointments on time or remembering them at all! Some challenges putting your thoughts into words likely leads to a stronger appreciation for such things as musical lyrics, poetry, and other art forms that experiment with modes of expression. This year, you are likely to discover especially imaginative means of expressing yourself. Neptune’s influence is, in fact, quite magical this year. This dreamy planet stimulates your imagination and intuition. Your words are more poetic and perhaps even inspirational. Long journeys are favored now. This is a very creative time that should not be wasted. Ideas can pay off quite well for you now. You could find that your intuition is subtly enhanced this year–you might often find yourself in the right place at the right time, probably because your hunches are more likely to be correct. This aspect softens your disposition somewhat, as you tune into your imaginative and artistic side. You may often rely on your instinctual judgment. This is a good year for self-improvement programs or efforts. The need to “get away from it all” — for some peace and quiet now and again — will be strong. A more sensitive–even mysterious–persona is projected this year, and this can attract pleasantly unusual circumstances (and people) into your life. You will want to reserve time alone–away from the hectic pace of life–for reflection, prayer, and meditation. Creativity runs high now.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Libra again this year until October, you continue to experience a more sociable nature and a stronger desire to bring balance and harmony to your life. A stronger focus on professional goals and attention to protocol will also continue with your ruler in your solar tenth house. From October forward, your ruler is in the sign of Scorpio, and this brings more focus and intensity to your personality. It also stimulates you to reach out and make contact with others.
Eclipses in 2012 fall in your solar sixth and twelfth houses and fifth and eleventh houses. Issues of work, service, and health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), come into focus. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. You are learning to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing. Issues of guilt, worry, and anxiety need to be managed this year. As well, social activity, romance, and friendships are areas of transformation. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships.
Some conflict between domestic demands and personal goals are possible from June to September. Erratic experiences in your domestic life could affect your basic sense of security, and while you may have a strong desire to take control, you may need to let go of this need in order to move forward.
A positive connection between your first and fifth houses in March suggests it
would be wise to make something of your hobbies–even if it doesn’t translate to income, you might find that expressing yourself creatively really helps to define yourself and to understand yourself better. Your creative abilities are reflected in your outlook on life, and love and romance are life experiences you strongly identify with. Children may be a stronger focus this year as well. You are more effective, in general, in attempts to express your creativity. You have a stronger ability to hold the attention of an audience. Love, love affairs, and other social activities help to enhance a healthy self image.
A stronger feeling of connection to friends and groups is likely. You more determinedly pursue your personal goals and at the same time enjoy contributing to a team or group effort. You are more confident about your goals and about pursuing your dreams. You have a healthier attitude towards the past, and you more easily put unproductive attitudes behind you. You are more charismatic and might find increased success in creative fields.
A friendship is likely to bring some joy into your life in the last quarter of the year. Chances are excellent that you will find a lovely confidante this year–someone to share your daily activities and thoughts with–even if this is an online friend or other casual connection. A sibling may introduce you to a new group or friend this year. Whatever the case may be, grab the chance to share your thoughts with someone who is not too close to you. This will help to relieve stress that might come from tension on the job. You are likely to be brimming with ideas about how to go about manifesting your innermost desires and dreams. Networking is strong for you in the last few months of 2012, and opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas.

Details 2012.

However, in 2012, with Saturn no longer in square to your Sun, you are no longer under the acute pressures associated with this transit.
The influences of Uranus and Neptune are similar to last year, and represent long-term trends. Uranus in your solar third house indicates that you are easily bored or distracted when it comes to traditional mental pursuits. You may pick up a brand new study this year. You are more attracted to unusual ideas, fields, and concepts. Exposure to new ideas open up new worlds to you. Neptune’s influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past few years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Libra again this year, you continue to be more sociable and have a stronger desire to bring balance and harmony to your life. A stronger focus on professional goals and attention to protocol will also continue with your ruler in your solar tenth house in 2012. From October forward, your ruler is in the sign of Scorpio, and this brings more focus and intensity to your personality. With Pluto also in your sign, you are strongly passionate and change-oriented.
Still, you may be dealing with vague fears and insecurities that undermine your confidence in your mental output. Decision-making can suffer as a result. You are not completely sure what to believe or trust. Something is urging you to make changes – to let go of the past. These problems are easily ironed out, however. Ultimately, you discover that your intuition does work for you.
Eclipses in 2012 fall in your solar sixth and twelfth houses and fifth and eleventh houses. Issues of work, service, and health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), come into focus. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. You are learning to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing. Issues of guilt, worry, and anxiety need to be managed this year.

You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships.
