Your Capricorn 2019 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
Until December 2nd, your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance continue to expand and grow. Matters of the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the attitudes that serve you well, and the behaviors that need to go in order for you to grow and improve during this cycle that began in November 2018 and runs until December 2019.
This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest, or that your joy in life is not as obvious to others. You may be exploring counseling, spiritual, or psychic talents. There may be some sacrifices involved in your personal relationships.
You may also be especially compassionate and empathetic. This can be a good period for volunteer work, or for work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.
You’re sociable when the occasion calls for it, but during this cycle, you get a lot of extra enjoyment through solitude or times of laying low and keeping to yourself. With Saturn in the foreground of your solar chart, you may come across as rather serious, stern, or critical, however, so do watch for this as it may hamper your opportunities.
Potential challenges: Escapism. You might often be tempted to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges, and should avoid reliance on stimulants or other “glamorous” forms of escape.
Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area, at least initially. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have troubles facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for the good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others at this time, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. There is stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.
Do watch for a tendency to say or reveal too much from January to September, or to overlook details in your personal life that can lead to problems. Be vigilant with legal and financial matters.
However, for the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices for others or for pursuits that you believe in increases and you build confidence in yourself as you help and support others.
From December 2nd onward, Jupiter is in your sign! This approximately one-year transit comes only every twelve years and serves to bring you out of your shell. You’re ready to take on the world! This is a time for exploring your needs and pursuing your dreams. Your personality, image, body image, and confidence in yourself expand to new levels with Jupiter in your sign from December 2019 to December 2020. You are seeing whole new possibilities, and your vision of life is panoramic.
If you’ve done your inner “work” well while Jupiter was transiting your solar twelfth house from November 2018 to December 2019, this can be an especially rewarding period. Your confidence in yourself and faith in the world are growing exponentially. Freedom is something you seek, but be wary of the costs of freedom when it’s pursued without necessary attention to responsibilities.
You are more willing to enjoy new experiences and to rid yourself of those things that have been holding you back from truly living and owning your life.
There can be new projects begun now that have long-term potential. You may not yet know where you’re headed with them, but you’re certainly enthusiastic about beginning anew.
Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more “me” time, which is in fact long overdue.
This is also a strong time for material affairs, money, self-worth, and personal possessions. Jupiter is the natural ruler of the resources sector in your solar chart. This comes at the same time as a Saturn transit to this sector, so that there may be some restrictions or buckling down involved with these areas of life as well. There is generally good energy for bringing more structure and simplicity to your material world. This influence can help you to actualize dreams, as Jupiter and Saturn working together can help bring plans to life. How you handle your money can affect your outlook very strongly during this period.
You are seeking out a new beginning – a fresh start, of sorts – and your desire to do right is especially strong. Work or projects that you have been working on in private or behind the scenes may now begin to pay off. There is less focus on serving and helping others now, perhaps because this is no longer as necessary (for example, a child can go off to college, or even the end of a relationship that took up a lot of your energy and resources, from which you are now enjoying some level of freedom), and now you can put some of your personal interests on the front burner.
You won’t feel like sitting around during this period of your life. You are hungry for new experiences. Everyday stresses that may have frustrated you in the past now seem almost inconsequential, as your vision is lifted above the mundane. As such, your ability to manage stress and pressure increases. You are more tolerant in your attitude towards others, and you’re considerably more confident about expressing the playful, creative, and fun side to your personality.
December is strong for creative and romantic endeavors. There is a magical quality to your personal appeal as well as your creative works! You’re progressive, positive, and ready to go after what and who you want.
Potential problems: Weight gain, pompous behavior, restlessness, over-confidence, wastefulness, and excesses in general. See to it that these things don’t ruin an otherwise excellent period. As well, in your desire to start over, watch that you don’t blind yourself to responsibilities.
There might also be times when others may feel threatened by your newfound displays of freedom and independence, when your personal desires are greater than your means, or when you have troubles with self-discipline, budgets, and limits.
Otherwise, this can be a time of opportunity. You might choose to pursue a new channel for self-expression or mental interest with great passion. There can be a strong sense of release and freedom from previously limiting, rigid, or stifling conditions. Because this transit occurs concurrently with a Saturn transit, outlined immediately below, you are less likely to waste your time or pass over the opportunities that emerge. You are especially productive, ambitious, and effective.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:
Your Capricorn 2019 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.
- Personality
- Manner
- Body
Until December 2020, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs your personal mannerisms, personality, image, and appearance. This sector also rules how you initiate things — your first impulse for coping with day-to-day demands. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life — as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.
This influence is with you until 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Capricorn. This year, those born from approximately January 1-11 and those who have an Ascendant of 11-21 degrees of Capricorn are most directly affected.
During this cycle, you are likely to be more cautious than you usually are and, at times, pessimistic. This transit doesn’t allow you to continue with illusions about the self, the body, and personal capabilities. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of the self. 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!
It’s a strong time for literally slimming down if that’s a goal, although Jupiter’s influence from December forward can counteract this. You can more successfully begin new and improved health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly (instead of what you want to see). You can be serious during this phase, with more concern for your responsibilities and duties. 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.
This is also a significant period for issues surrounding your personal identity and self-image with Saturn, your ruler, in your sign. 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.
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.
While Saturn in one’s own sign is not the most desired transit, Capricorns understand Saturnine energy and do well with it. Saturn performs very well in Capricorn, in other words. The last time Saturn transited Capricorn was from 1988-1990.
Also, you have wonderful planetary support for your efforts this year from January to November. Your ability to blend the practical and dreamy sides of your life is powerful during this period. Your grip on what you value is fabulous. The potential for reaching some form of zen in your life is strong. You are more spiritually patient — confident, yet humble. These attitudes work well for you in 2019!
Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: Home, Family
Your 2019 Capricorn Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which family and home life may have been unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence is with you until March 2019. Last year (from May 15th to November 6th, 2018), you received a taste of the theme that resumes in 2019 from March forward – the newest seven-year influence:
Until March 6th, you may decide (or you’ve already decided) to move during this cycle, or be in the position to, or you could dramatically change your attitude towards your domestic life. More freedom is sought, and if your current domestic set-up feels confining or limiting, you’ll need to make important changes.
Home life may be up in the air in some way during this period of your life. There can be a sense of being unsettled or uncertain about where you want to lay down roots, for example. Certainly, you can’t force convention or tradition on family or the home during this transit.
Your attitude towards the past and traditions is also transforming quite quickly. Old ties to your past may be severed, and at times this can be unsettling, but ideally, you are taking important steps towards carving out an identity that better suits the “true you.”
Sudden changes, rebelliousness, or conflicts may be experienced. Avoid reacting blindly to challenges and instead feel what is important to you before taking action. You can experience a stronger desire to pursue social life or goals, and this can conflict with dealings on the home front. Home demands and personal demands compete and you may go overboard in either or both areas. Restlessness is likely. Sudden opportunities or challenges can pop up related to home, family, and career. Ultimately, they lead to a more balanced approach to your life. This long-term influence finally ends on March 6th, after which Uranus moves into harmony with your sign for seven years!
From March 6th, 2019, forward, a lengthy cycle ensues in which your romantic and creative life can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric on a romantic level — or these are the types of people or experiences you attract into your life. Your romantic life is bound to be very colorful this year and in coming years. As well, you are tapping into your “inner genius” when it comes to expressing yourself creatively. This can be a highly inventive period. Unusual opportunities to meet people pop up. This may be a time of unconventional love affairs for some.
This influence is with you from March 2019 to April 2026! It helps loosen you up, and this is timely since you have serious Saturn and ambitious, intense Pluto in your sign this year.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation: Personality, Image, Attitude, Income, Shared Assets, Self-Worth, Intimacy
Your 2019 Capricorn Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”
Your outer personality and the ways in which you approach life and challenges continue to transform this year. Your personality continues to reshape in 2019. This is certainly a time for reinventing yourself! 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.
Challenges with this transit are more likely to show themselves in April, when you may have taken on far too many personal goals than are helpful for you, or when your need for balancing your life with a partnership, sharing, or support emerges strongly. Nurture ambitions but don’t push yourself too hard and avoid going over the top. Recognize limits, as difficult as this may seem at the moment!
In 2019, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity point to further evolution of your personality and your partnerships. Your definitions of “me” and “you” are transforming. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore. Personal appearance, your body, and your image become especially important. For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into strong focus. Particularly around the eclipses in January, July, and December, you’ll be discovering where you stand when it comes to partnerships and independence.
The North Node in your partnership sector all year reinforces this theme. You are called upon to face up to your needs and desires to partner effectively. You are pushed towards better balancing and understanding of your needs for independence and for partnership this year.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2019: Saturn, your ruler, continues to transit your sign, and you’re in a strong, empowered position. Saturn is retrograde from April 29th until September 18th, during which time you’re in good shape for catching your breath, introspection, and reassessing your goals. The remainder of the year, Saturn is direct, and you tend to feel most effective taking action.
