Overview for this Month: Capricorn (All)
January 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You're more interactive and noticeable this month, dear Capricorn. Mercury is in your sign until the 8th, and just when it leaves, Venus enters it. The Sun is in Capricorn until the 19th, and support comes from assertive Mars from the 6th forward. You're expressing your ideas and personality more freely.
Mars moves in harmony with your sign from the 6th, heating up your desires and animating your romantic life or creative world until early March--it's a wonderful boost. You're confident and assertive, and even more attractive than usual. Relationships are passionate now. You're alert, ready to make changes, and willing to put yourself out there, and this is a winning combination.
Venus moves into your sign on the 8th, boosting your popularity and powers of attraction. After some hesitation or reflection, your affections become clear and earnest. You're turning heads, particularly around the 8-9, 13, and 26-28. Make a few wishes, dare to say them aloud, and expect results, especially after the New Moon in your sign on the 13th.
Terrific energy is with you for creative, romantic, and recreational pursuits in January. Relationships might strengthen. You could receive gifts or the kind of attention that boosts your confidence. You can feel on fire with passion and creative energy, and timing is much better than usual.
Your instincts for what works best for you are often in top form this month, and you can feel moved and motivated to up your game or rise to a personal challenge. Personal opportunities abound. You are more confident and focused but also very receptive and approachable.
The New Moon on the 13th is in your sign, signaling a period of personal new beginnings and a chance to reinvent yourself. This lunation helps to reinforce a strong sense of self. Uranus turns direct the next day, helping to free your heart and creativity. Unpredictability in your romantic life continues to be a theme, but you're more inclined to work with these energies rather than fight them.
Willingness to embrace change is the key to success with finances this month, but it's essential to avoid going too far with this. You could experience clashes between the desire for security and a stable income and your needs for entertainment and pleasure, or possibly your romantic life. Expanding your personal resources is vital to you now, and so is taking a few risks and enjoying yourself! It can be challenging to accommodate both needs at once.
As well, excitement in your romantic and social life may distract you from increasing your earning power in spots. Try not to instigate change just for the sake of change, and avoid rash behavior. On the other hand, if you look for opportunities, you have more confidence and faith to do something totally different, and inspiration may be found. But do avoid blowing off certain responsibilities while you pursue your new vision.
Around the Full Moon on the 28th, emotional rumblings are strong, and your intimate life is now showing signs of progress. You might open your eyes to a financial matter that you've been overlooking, or there can be blossoming feelings in your love life. Revelations at this time are catalysts for making changes related to dependencies and support systems. With more faith in your abilities and worth, it's an excellent time to attract positive experiences.
Last month, Jupiter left your sign, and your life since has been more and more about building your resources, manifesting results, and profiting from your talents rather than building your popularity and developing your personality.
The last few days of January are suitable for assessing where you are "at" with these things and making new plans. In fact, you can be feeling quite confident about your ability to manifest your desires.
Nevertheless, Mercury turns retrograde on the 30th, signaling a time to turn inward for a few weeks. The need to review your finances or budget can emerge before pressing along. It's a period for looking to the past for answers to current problems or delaying some matters while you make changes and refinements, especially related to finances.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
January 2021 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 19th:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From January 20th forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until January 7th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From January 8th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
From January 8th forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 6th:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
From the 7th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
January 2021 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 16th:

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
January 2021 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
January 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until January 9th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From January 10th forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence.

The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until January 24th:
Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. 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.
From January 24th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From the 2nd to 21st:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
From the 21st forward:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decan regardless of your birthdate.
