I’ve added extra details using a house-by-house approach to breaking down significant influences in 2017.

Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease that you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

Your ruler, Saturn, continues to transit the sign behind yours, dear Capricorn, until mid-December. This year, Saturn receives a wonderful trine from Uranus, creating some opportunities to boost the excitement and progressive spirit of your life without sacrificing security. This combination is good for making things work and making realistic dreams happen, particularly in your private and home life.

Capricorn is a practical Earth sign, and it’s also of a take-charge Cardinal nature, so you fully appreciate the ability to move forward, advance, and make progress while keeping your feet on the ground – and this is one of the bigger themes of the year.

Areas of change and occasional disruption for you in 2017 tend to be personal plans, outlook, home, family, career, and reputation.

This is a powerful year for career, public standing, and reputation. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

Your friends, community, and group sector has been an area of your chart that has faced more than usual outer planet challenges for many years. This year, however, things are coming together in these areas of life. From October forward, you benefit from a wonderful influence that is excellent for networking and personal enjoyment. This transit will last until November 2018 and its benefits will be even more apparent after December 2017.

2017: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Capricorn (All):

Career matters are peaking for you in 2017, dear Capricorn. There can be promotions or some form of pleasant culmination in your professional or public life. A positive attitude towards work brings great rewards, as does the expression of integrity and honesty. Your professional manner is more friendly, likable, and charming this year. People in high positions look upon you especially favorably.

For many years now, you’ve been rediscovering yourself from the inside out, and ultimately learning that fear is the only thing holding you back in life–you are learning to fear less. There’s an internal struggle going on between what you want to be and what you want to achieve, and this struggle is at the root of energy fluctuations this year, as indecision can most certainly affect your drive and energy levels.

However, since December last year, a wonderful influence is with you in which blockages are released, particularly emotional ones and matters related to housing, family, and home life. This is a constructive period when solutions to long-standing problems arrive and help free you from mental pressure.

As well, even with some internal dilemmas regarding where you’re heading, your intuition tends to be spot on when it comes to career matters this year. Remember that the more you trust your intuition, the more it becomes available to you. There can be much to love about your career in 2017 and this positive attitude brings great rewards. Interesting events occur on the career front that seem almost magical at times. Connections that further your career goals are made and come seemingly out of the blue–at precisely the right moments.

You’re likely to find your joy in professional or public avenues this year until October. You’re also likely to receive some form of elevation – recognition, promotion, or the like. Some of you will be discovering your true calling, professionally speaking. What you’ve learned in 2016 can now be applied to your life in more concrete ways. You’re likely to be feeling very hopeful when it comes to your work, and this attitude can certainly attract positive circumstances into your life. You simply need to watch for a tendency to take on too much! Although it’s a great period for expansion and recognition on a professional level, and you should take advantage of it, choose your projects carefully. Don’t take on more than you can handle.

From October forward (and beyond), the focus is on making connections – very positive ones – as well as new ideas. Your job might bring you into contact with new people. With Jupiter expanding your social circle and your desire to plant seeds, so to speak, you simply need to watch for excesses. For example, you might begin so many new projects that you find yourself scattered across them. However, while many of them may not survive, some will, and can benefit you greatly down the road.

Your team spirit is very strong in the last quarter of the year, and you might make wonderful contributions to a group or with associates that you can truly feel proud of. Through groups or friends, you seek a sense of belonging and comfort, and you’re likely to find it! This is also a time for new and exciting ideas for future growth and happiness. You are entertaining dreams of where you’d like to go with your life, and while it was your professional life that you were more interested in earlier in 2017, you are more concerned with personal happiness, ideals, and long-term goals from October forward. There can be a cause that you work towards enthusiastically, and business income is likely to increase.

Looking to the past for the purpose of preparing more appropriately for the future is good, but wallowing in regrets and focusing on mistakes won’t help you in the least. Be realistic, make corrections, and move forward one step at a time. Many Capricorns are refining and altering their belief system this year, perhaps becoming stricter in their beliefs or spiritual practices. 2017 brings an inclination towards profound thought and exploration.

Saturn moves into your sign for a two-and-a-half year stay on December 19th. Saturn brings the need to take care of matters that you’ve left untied, unfinished, or that you’ve neglected altogether. The ultimate message here is to mature and to feel more in charge of your life, although you can sometimes feel singled out. Since Saturn is your ruler, you are in your own terms and very much in charge!

Capricorn (Born December 22 to 31*) – 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn (1ST DECAN):

2017: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

See your current Monthly Forecast and Capricorn 2017 Love Horoscope.

Until October 10th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar tenth house. Increased public recognition and professional success characterize this position. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage. You may come into the limelight. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards—this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! 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. Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar tenth house, from January 1-February 5, and from June 9-October 10.

From October 10th forward,

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar eleventh house. During this longer-term cycle, this transit brings benefits and fresh energy to networking activities, the formulation of broad, long-term goals, acquaintances, clubs, and organizations in your life. You can rely on your friends for their help and support, and your circle of friends could most certainly increase during this fruitful transit.

Your long-term goals and wishes tend to be broad and perhaps unusual or ahead of the times during this cycle. You may particularly enjoy dreaming up ideas for the future. Achieving your goals tends to come more readily. Others especially value your advice and often turn to you for help.

You could become more active with friends or in your community. You may have opportunities to join or lead clubs or groups. Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your goals, and you may very effectively find your voice through them. You may take special joy in sharing a common cause or ideals with others. You are especially hopeful and more inclined to believe that if you wish it, it will be! Income from your business or career is likely to increase.

You might be more tolerant of others in general and of differences in values. Reaching out beyond your personal circle can certainly open doors to you and bring joy into your life during this cycle.

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.

Also, Jupiter can bring too much of a good thing at times, and you might find that your social agenda is crammed or that you have taken on more friends or goals than you can reasonably handle.

Jupiter transits sextile your Sun. 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.

Saturn transits your solar twelfth house until December 2017. This transit began in December 2014 and runs until December 2017 (with the exception of June 14-September 17, 2015). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence.

You may have discovered vague fears and anxieties that act to undermine your confidence during the course of this transit, which frees you up to work on resolving them. Contemplation of your accomplishments and your “failures” may figure now. Saturn is turning a critical eye to all that lies beneath the surface, and you are forced to do some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche during this period. You are facing your own demons–the vague fears that undermine you. We all have skeletons in our closet. What we don’t always realize is that they can seriously undermine our happiness and well-being. Saturn sweeps through your “closet” (the twelfth house) and demands that you take a hard look at what’s been hiding in there. Is this process uncomfortable? For some of us, it can be; for others, it has its moments of uneasiness. But getting rid of outdated attachments, and examining and discarding irrational fears, is not only necessary for further growth and development–it’s ultimately a huge relief.

The twelfth house in some ways is a dumping ground for things we have left “undone”. Saturn here wants you to sort through the junk and keep only those things that you truly need for future development. This process can be rather lengthy and it can feel very slow, but if done properly, it can be most rewarding. You tend to deal with endings more than new beginnings during this transit, as you shed outdated attachments and unconsciously prepare yourself for Saturn’s upcoming transit of the first house when you will work diligently on your individuality and personal identity. Some of you may be introspective at this time, perhaps isolating yourself from worldly activities and acquaintances a little in some manner, although when Jupiter is transiting your ninth house, you are bolder and more adventurous. Health issues, generally of a psychosomatic nature, may come to the fore. You may be attracted to alternate ways of living and to self-help or self-study fields.

Aim to put things to rest – those things that are just hanging around in your aura and contributing to a feeling that you’re not worthy of a fulfilling life. This can also be a time when you give of yourself to others, as you are valuing charity more than usual. You could be struggling with issues of self-worth, and this is a fine time to really explore what it is that holds you back from going after what you want and deserve in life.

The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Capricorn group – you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This is a time for resolving these issues. You’re maturing and crystallizing lessons that you can carry forward with you. After mid-December, Saturn won’t return to this area of your chart for another 29 years.

Saturn transits your solar first house from December 19th forward (until 2020). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that will be now until December 2018!

Saturn enters your sign! Saturn is your ruler so that its themes are very familiar and comfortable for you.

Your physical body and mannerisms are in strong focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, it may be a time when you feel more your age, or accept it. This is an excellent time for beginning health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly – not only what you want to see. Your outlook on life is more serious and responsible. You may be slower to start new things. In the past while, you might have reached out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to boost your confidence. When these attempts failed, you may have felt temporarily let down and discouraged. Rest assured that Saturn will re-work these feelings, with your help of course, until you reach a point where you have a stronger sense of self. This is a period in which you can get to that point.

This transit acts to transform your self-confidence in such a way that you question the source of your confidence to date, and discover a more solid base for pulling up inner strength. Saturn here acts to rip away the superficial. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be entertained. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of your own limitations, and your capabilities as well. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!

You are getting in touch with your inner strength, and this takes some time and adjustment. This is a grounding energy that gets you back in touch with reality.

The best way to handle Saturn’s transit through your sign is to meet your responsibilities to the best of your ability. Do take a closer look at the areas you’ve allowed to slide, and listen to your feelings of disappointment, but don’t let this turn into regret or resentment. Instead, focus on making improvements and keep in mind the long-term. Short-sightedness now can get you into trouble. Impatience will not be rewarded. Think in terms of the long view. Try not to come across as a heavy during this period — not everyone is going through the same cycle at the same time as you. However, others are seeing you as more responsible. Self-discipline comes more naturally as well.

Saturn conjuncts your Sun from December 2017 to December 2018. This Saturn conjunction often brings on groans and moans from those who know of Saturn’s reputation in astrology but has more productive and positive potentials than you might think. You are determined to make adjustments in your lifestyle, your work, your home, and other areas of life. For some of you, this is not a choice, but circumstances are such that you need to reorganize. Your sense of timing and balance is superb now, and your efficiency is improved ten times over. Cleaning out closets, re-organizing the environment in which you live and work, and other such activities come to the fore. Others may turn to you for advice or recognize your competency and experience in a particular area of life. Additional training is a possibility now. Anything that requires focus and commitment benefits. Your efforts now are very constructive, and you are not inclined to want to leave any loose ends untied. You are likely to derive much satisfaction from taking care of practical concerns in your life. This is a time of long-range planning that will bring you benefits down the road. Get your affairs in order, and invest in yourself!

Authority figures or elders may be particularly helpful now, and you are more willing to humble yourself and listen to what they have to say. In fact, this can be one of the keys to your success during this period! Confronting your fears is easier now. You are taking off the rose colored glasses and seeing things for what they truly are. More responsibilities are likely now in these areas, which should be met.

Uranus continues to transit your solar fourth house this year. While some of you were dealing with intense Pluto and Uranus challenging transits recently, both planets have moved beyond the degrees of your Capricorn decan, freeing you up to feel more in charge of your life. Even so, your home life may be in a state of flux this year or can be up in the air in some manner. 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. Letting go of old family conditioning or unhealthy ties to the past may be themes in 2017 and beyond.

The more acute elements of this transit have already been experienced before 2017 for your decan of Capricorn.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar third house this year. 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 and perhaps even more so from December forward.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your first house this year. All of you in this Capricorn group/decan have moved beyond Pluto’s conjunction to your Sun/Ascendant, and a lot of the pressure and intensity is off. This transit acts to 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 may be left behind during this transit. Superficial attitudes or manners of self-expression no longer do it for you!

You will need to resist the urge to control the events of your life, how you come across to others, and your manner during this important cycle. You are learning about your inner motivations, and sometimes this can be an uncomfortable process because you are getting in touch with the darker elements of your psyche at the same time. However, you are ultimately learning that you cannot control the events of your life and you cannot control others and how they feel about you, but you can learn self-control. You are tapping into your inner power, and how you handle it will make all the difference in the quality of your experiences now.

Saturn, your ruler, is making an important sign change transition at the tail-end of the year, and symbolically, your own personality is transitioning as well. You are switching gears and altering your focus and self-expression — in many ways, you can say that you’re coming into your own. Saturn is retrograde from April 6th until August 5th, and this is a natural period for catching your breath, introspection, and reassessing your goals. The remainder of the year, Saturn is direct, and you tend to feel more effective taking action.

Until May 2017, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

From May 2017 forward, the North Node transits your solar eighth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your attachments to others, your own feelings of being empowered, and your ability to share yourself with others.

Saturn transits your solar twelfth house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2018 for your decan.

Saturn’s influence here is less pressured this year as it has moved beyond your decan, so keep this in mind as you read about this transit. You may have discovered vague fears and anxieties that act to undermine your confidence during the course of this transit, which frees you up to work on resolving them. Contemplation of your accomplishments and your “failures” may figure now. Saturn is turning a critical eye to all that lies beneath the surface, and you are forced to do some serious “spring cleaning” of your psyche during this period. You are facing your own demons–the vague fears that undermine you. We all have skeletons in our closet. What we don’t always realize is that they can seriously undermine our happiness and well-being.

The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Capricorn group – you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This year and 2018 are periods for resolving these issues.

Note: Saturn enters your sign, Capricorn, in mid-December. However, since you were born later in the sign of Capricorn and because Saturn moves relatively slowly through the zodiac, it will only reach your degree of Capricorn in 2019.

Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house. While some of you were dealing with intense Uranus transits recently, Uranus has moved beyond the degrees of your Capricorn decan, freeing you up to feel more in charge of your life. Even so, your home life may be in a state of flux this year or can be up in the air in some manner. 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.

Neptune begins its lengthy transit through your solar third house for those born at 10-14 degrees Capricorn Ascendant or January 1-5 this year. 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 is a very creative time that should not be wasted. Ideas can pay off quite well for you now and perhaps even more so from December forward.

Pluto continues or begins its lengthy transit of your solar first house this year. Most of you in this Capricorn group/decan have moved beyond Pluto’s conjunction to your Sun/Ascendant, and a lot of the pressure and intensity is off. This transit acts to 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.

The things or even people that have held you back from being who you really are may be left behind during this transit. Superficial attitudes or manners of self-expression no longer do it for you!

For those of you born at 17 to 19-1/2 degrees Capricorn Ascendant or for those born January 17-20 only, you are experiencing a transiting conjunction of Pluto in 2017! This means that the transit of the first house just above is even more intense for your group. It’s an important year for making deep, personal changes.

Saturn, your ruler, is making an important sign change transition at the tail-end of the year, and symbolically, your own personality is transitioning as well. You are switching gears and altering your focus and self-expression — in many ways, you can say that you’re coming into your own. This happens even though Saturn will not reach your Sun or Ascendant until 2019. Saturn is retrograde from April 6th until August 5th, and this is a natural period for catching your breath, introspection, and reassessing your goals. The remainder of the year, Saturn is direct, and you tend to feel more effective taking action.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20*) – 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn (3rd DECAN):

2017: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From January 1-March 24 then from August 20th forward, Jupiter continues to move through your solar tenth house. Increased public recognition and professional success characterize this position. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage. You may come into the limelight. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circumstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards—this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! 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. Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar house, from January 1-February 5, and from August 20-forward.

Saturn transits your solar twelfth house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2019 for your decan. This transit is new to your decan, making its themes a little more intense in 2017, after which you become increasingly more comfortable with the energy.

Even though Saturn enters your sign in December 2017, it won’t reach your Sun or Ascendant until at least 2019.

Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar fourth house. Your home life may be in a state of flux this year or can be up in the air in some manner. 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. Letting go of old family conditioning or unhealthy ties to the past may be themes in 2017 and beyond.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar second house this year, as it has been doing for a number of years, casting some “fog” over your income or sense of self-worth. 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.

Note: Neptune continues to transit Pisces, but it travels through the 9- to 14-degree range. Neptune will not reach the beginning of your decan until 2020.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar twelfth house this year. This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but deep changes in your psyche and to how you deal with endings and matters of the past. There can be some intense focus on spiritual and psychological growth during this period. You are confronting deeply buried aspects of your psyche. You will be learning unusual things about the hidden side of your nature, and with this knowledge you are also learning to control these things, although it’s not always an easy process. Things that you’ve buried, such as past events that you are ashamed of, emerge and require sensitive handling. Facing your ghosts with self-honesty is required of you now. There can also be deep changes in your friendships or strong private elements to your associations.

Expectations transform again this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do.

Note: Even though Pluto has been in your sign for many years, slow-moving Pluto won’t reach a conjunction with your Sun/Ascendant for many years.

Chiron is transiting sextile your Sun/Ascendant this year. This influence is a subtly healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities–both personal and professional–are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive and easygoing ones.

Saturn, your ruler, is making an important sign change transition at the tail-end of the year, and symbolically, your own personality is transitioning as well. You are switching gears and altering your focus and self-expression — in many ways, you can say that you’re coming into your own. This happens even though Saturn will not reach your Sun or Ascendant until 2019-2020. Saturn is retrograde from April 6th until August 5th, and this is a natural period for catching your breath, introspection, and reassessing your goals. The remainder of the year, Saturn is direct, and you tend to feel more effective taking action.

Until November 2017, the North Node transits your solar eighth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your attachments to others, your own feelings of being empowered, and your ability to share yourself with others.

From November 2017 forward, The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar seventh house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your partnerships. The challenge is to work on sensitizing yourself to the needs of others and to get over any fears of the demands a partner or significant other might make on you. Through partnership and through cooperation with others, you will more likely achieve the inner balance necessary for you to achieve your goals. During this period, try to include others more often in your pursuits, even if you often quite naturally fall back on going it alone. This is a period for learning what you need from relationships.

*Please note: starting and ending dates are not fixed for any sign and they can vary slightly depending on the year you were born. If you are born near one of these dates and are unsure of your Sun sign, see What’s My Sun Sign?.
