Capricorn Monthly Horoscope June 2018

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:

June 2018 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 21st:

The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.

From June 21st forward:

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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 13th: 

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! 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. 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.

From June 13th forward: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. 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 this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 12th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.

You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.

From June 12-29: 

Mercury transits your solar seventh house. 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.

Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. 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.

From June 29th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. 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 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 this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of the home, family, security, and domestic activities because Mars rules these areas in your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways. For example, household projects may slow down or stall. You might be feeling more defensive during this period, or you might get worked up about old waves of anger or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. It's a good time for examining how you have been expressing anger or asserting yourself with your family.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your second house during this date range, money-making endeavors are in focus. Perhaps a money-making idea you have been working on and were enthused about encounters some snags and you feel the urge to abandon it altogether. Caution and perhaps anxiety may be the overriding emotions just for now. Money and security matters are extremely important to you during this cycle, but they are not as straightforward as they have been. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your money and your plans. This period involves coming to a greater understanding of how the way you manage your resources impacts your confidence and your life in a general sense.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Capricorn Monthly Horoscope: Your focus on your daily routines, fitness, health, nutrition, work, and habits is strong in the first weeks of June, dear Capricorn. While it's not the best cycle for recognition or worldly success, this is an intense period for self-development and laying the groundwork for future success.

Especially on the 4-5, good energy is with you for sorting out and gaining clarity about work and health matters in a logical manner. There can be an epiphany or realization about a health issue or solution or a work or service matter. Seek out new or alternative health programs and work methods, as problems in these areas of your life can come to quick resolutions. Watch for a business-like insensitivity or impatience with people with whom you share daily activities since a Sun-Mercury combination in Gemini and in your sector of work can be a little too analytical. As well, your mind might say yes to things that your heart has yet to process. You may want to wait for after the New Moon on the 13th for official launches, but until then, you're in good shape for toying with new ideas. Work or daily routines can keep you unusually busy, and a significant discovery may be made in the process.

Until the 13th, a Venus transit may bring happy or helpful people into your social circle and presents opportunities for enhancing or attracting partnerships. If you have any need for peace-making with others, it's a great time for doing so. You might also benefit from others' input and help. It may be that you're craving others' company more than anything now, as you appreciate feeling that you have someone to lean on if you need the support! As well, sharing pleasures and activities can be particularly appealing now. The New Moon on the 13th presents good energy for beginning anew with a health or work program.

From the 13th, you're seeking more depth from your relationships or projects. Mid-month finds energies a little more complicated, however. Neptune turns retrograde on the 18th as it does for approximately five months each year. Fuzzy thinking is likely as the shift occurs. Perceptions can be confused and unsure, but you might also be dealing with mixed signals and communications or instructions. A small disappointment is possible, perhaps with a neighbor, sibling, or acquaintance, or an educational matter. However, whatever it is that brings you down will ultimately push you up further as it gets you in touch with the fantasies and dreams that serve you well, and those that may need to be refined or thrown out.

The 19-20 is good for your social life. Agreements can be made that are mutually beneficial. Conversations can help boost a relationship, notably as you and others are being positive and supportive, as well as open-minded. This can be a time you receive positive reviews, or something happens that inspires hopeful, optimistic feelings, particularly about, or because of, a relationship. There is a stronger interest in cooperating and sharing common goals now. You are projecting joyful, optimistic energy that attracts others to you and that makes people feel especially happy in your presence. You might find special reward and benefit through sharing your ideas, ideals, dreams, and hopes with someone special, and in fact, you could discover that you're going in a similar direction. Conversations with others can really get the creative juices flowing.

Boundaries can be pushed, and possessiveness or competitiveness can be strong themes around the 21st, however. Avoid emotionalism when it comes to controversial topics, including money. You might also be feeling in the dark or on the fence emotionally, and you could too easily concentrate on things that have been lost or buried. Issues of sharing, ownership, and support can be touchy. Seek out a compromise.

As the month progresses, a stronger focus on relationships comes into play. This is a time for expressing yourself through your relationships. You're also more sensitive to imbalances in your life now, and you may be seeking more harmony.

Mars turns retrograde on the 26th and will remain retrograde until August 27th. Later in the cycle (from August 12th forward), Mars will return to your sign. For the first leg of this cycle (until August 12th), Mars is retrograding in your finances and resources sector. Mars is moving very slowly through your sector of money, personal possessions, and natural talents all of June, in fact, and while matters surrounding these things can seem to be moving similarly slowly, this gives you the chance to take a second look at problem areas you may have missed in the past. Watch for struggles with money or values. There can be some confusion, misunderstandings, and possibly resentments surrounding money, ownership, valuables, matters of self-worth, work, and health. It's important to watch spending and pay attention to fine print when making purchases or commitments. You could easily regret your purchases later, so take the time to think about it before you leap forward. However, this can also be a time for seeing new ways to make money or for discovering lost items. It's a reasonable period for redesigning your budget, too. A review of money matters may be necessary and quite beneficial now.

On the 27-28, a Full Moon occurs in your sign just as the Sun opposes your ruler, Saturn, from your partnership sector. This brings strong messages about companionship and independence into your life. Watch for a tendency to refuse to play a game because you don't want to deal with the possibility of losing it! Another possible theme is that you distance yourself in a relationship or feel frustrated that someone doesn't seem to understand you. Part of the reason for this is a sense that you have to deal with everything yourself. Aim to take the lesson from your experiences now and improve your life for doing so. Be as patient as you can, both with others and with yourself!

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:

June 2018 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 22nd: 

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! 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. 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.

From June 22nd forward: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. 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 this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until June 3rd:

Mercury continues to transit your solar fifth house. Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now. Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now. You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.

From June 3-17: 

Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.

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 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. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.

From June 17th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar seventh house. 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.

Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. 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 this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.

This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.

You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of the home, family, security, and domestic activities because Mars rules these areas in your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways. For example, household projects may slow down or stall. You might be feeling more defensive during this period, or you might get worked up about old waves of anger or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. It's a good time for examining how you have been expressing anger or asserting yourself with your family.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar first house now, this Mars retrograde cycle is very up close and personal! The ways that your survival instincts have served you to date may not seem to be as effective, or you might be feeling cautious and withdrawn in a general way now. You might find that you are second-guessing yourself, and this is a natural process as you reassess how you've been going about meeting life and reacting/acting, which may need some polishing! It's a good time for refining these things. Your personal initiatives and confidence are affected. Perhaps you are less confident about your effectiveness and more cautious about sharing yourself with others. Personal initiatives might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. You may be a little tired and more accident-prone during this cycle, so be sure to rest up.

You are also examining the way anger has helped or impaired your life and coming up with new ways to manage it. In the process, you can experience some real frustrations. The end result, ideally, is a much-improved "you." It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. How you assert yourself and how you go about going after what you want out of life are up for review now.
Watch for unacknowledged or buried desires driving your behavior.

June 2018 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 10th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.

This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

From June 10th forward:

The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.

Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until June 5th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From June 5th forward: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. 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--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of the home, family, security, and domestic activities because Mars rules these areas in your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways. For example, household projects may slow down or stall. You might be feeling more defensive during this period, or you might get worked up about old waves of anger or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. It's a good time for examining how you have been expressing anger or asserting yourself with your family.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar first house now, this Mars retrograde cycle is very up close and personal! The ways that your survival instincts have served you to date may not seem to be as effective, or you might be feeling cautious and withdrawn in a general way now. You might find that you are second-guessing yourself, and this is a natural process as you reassess how you've been going about meeting life and reacting/acting, which may need some polishing! It's a good time for refining these things. Your personal initiatives and confidence are affected. Perhaps you are less confident about your effectiveness and more cautious about sharing yourself with others. Personal initiatives might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. You may be a little tired and more accident-prone during this cycle, so be sure to rest up.

You are also examining the way anger has helped or impaired your life and coming up with new ways to manage it. In the process, you can experience some real frustrations. The end result, ideally, is a much-improved "you." It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. How you assert yourself and how you go about going after what you want out of life are up for review now.
Watch for unacknowledged or buried desires driving your behavior.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Capricorn Monthly Horoscope: Your focus on your daily routines, fitness, health, nutrition, work, and habits is strong in the first weeks of June, dear Capricorn. While it's not the best cycle for recognition or worldly success, this is an intense period for self-development and laying the groundwork for future success.

Especially on the 4-5, good energy is with you for sorting out and gaining clarity about work and health matters in a logical manner. There can be an epiphany or realization about a health issue or solution or a work or service matter. Seek out new or alternative health programs and work methods, as problems in these areas of your life can come to quick resolutions. Watch for a business-like insensitivity or impatience with people with whom you share daily activities since a Sun-Mercury combination in Gemini and in your sector of work can be a little too analytical. As well, your mind might say yes to things that your heart has yet to process. You may want to wait for after the New Moon on the 13th for official launches, but until then, you're in good shape for toying with new ideas. Work or daily routines can keep you unusually busy, and a significant discovery may be made in the process.

Until the 13th, a Venus transit may bring happy or helpful people into your social circle and presents opportunities for enhancing or attracting partnerships. If you have any need for peace-making with others, it's a great time for doing so. You might also benefit from others' input and help. It may be that you're craving others' company more than anything now, as you appreciate feeling that you have someone to lean on if you need the support! As well, sharing pleasures and activities can be particularly appealing now. The New Moon on the 13th presents good energy for beginning anew with a health or work program.

From the 13th, you're seeking more depth from your relationships or projects. Mid-month finds energies a little more complicated, however. Neptune turns retrograde on the 18th as it does for approximately five months each year. Fuzzy thinking is likely as the shift occurs. Perceptions can be confused and unsure, but you might also be dealing with mixed signals and communications or instructions. A small disappointment is possible, perhaps with a neighbor, sibling, or acquaintance, or an educational matter. However, whatever it is that brings you down will ultimately push you up further as it gets you in touch with the fantasies and dreams that serve you well, and those that may need to be refined or thrown out.

The 19-20 is good for your social life. Agreements can be made that are mutually beneficial. Conversations can help boost a relationship, notably as you and others are being positive and supportive, as well as open-minded. This can be a time you receive positive reviews, or something happens that inspires hopeful, optimistic feelings, particularly about, or because of, a relationship. There is a stronger interest in cooperating and sharing common goals now. You are projecting joyful, optimistic energy that attracts others to you and that makes people feel especially happy in your presence. You might find special reward and benefit through sharing your ideas, ideals, dreams, and hopes with someone special, and in fact, you could discover that you're going in a similar direction. Conversations with others can really get the creative juices flowing.

Boundaries can be pushed, and possessiveness or competitiveness can be strong themes around the 21st, however. Avoid emotionalism when it comes to controversial topics, including money. You might also be feeling in the dark or on the fence emotionally, and you could too easily concentrate on things that have been lost or buried. Issues of sharing, ownership, and support can be touchy. Seek out a compromise.

As the month progresses, a stronger focus on relationships comes into play. This is a time for expressing yourself through your relationships. You're also more sensitive to imbalances in your life now, and you may be seeking more harmony.

Mars turns retrograde on the 26th and will remain retrograde until August 27th. Later in the cycle (from August 12th forward), Mars will return to your sign. For the first leg of this cycle (until August 12th), Mars is retrograding in your finances and resources sector. Mars is moving very slowly through your sector of money, personal possessions, and natural talents all of June, in fact, and while matters surrounding these things can seem to be moving similarly slowly, this gives you the chance to take a second look at problem areas you may have missed in the past. Watch for struggles with money or values. There can be some confusion, misunderstandings, and possibly resentments surrounding money, ownership, valuables, matters of self-worth, work, and health. It's important to watch spending and pay attention to fine print when making purchases or commitments. You could easily regret your purchases later, so take the time to think about it before you leap forward. However, this can also be a time for seeing new ways to make money or for discovering lost items. It's a reasonable period for redesigning your budget, too. A review of money matters may be necessary and quite beneficial now.

On the 27-28, a Full Moon occurs in your sign just as the Sun opposes your ruler, Saturn, from your partnership sector. This brings strong messages about companionship and independence into your life. Watch for a tendency to refuse to play a game because you don't want to deal with the possibility of losing it! Another possible theme is that you distance yourself in a relationship or feel frustrated that someone doesn't seem to understand you. Part of the reason for this is a sense that you have to deal with everything yourself. Aim to take the lesson from your experiences now and improve your life for doing so. Be as patient as you can, both with others and with yourself!
