Overview for this Month: Capricorn (All)
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
Your larger, long-term goals are in focus this month, dear Capricorn, and they're coming together nicely. You can feel on top of things now. Keep in mind that while you can be feeling especially enterprising, this is not the best month for brand-new ventures. Generally speaking, it's time to proceed slowly.
Creative or romantic opportunities can arise through business affairs in October. You are more interested in the long term when it comes to love, although, towards the end of the month, friendship and camaraderie assume more importance.
Mercury ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and blocks begin to lift, or motivation returns to pursue projects, studies, or work projects. Forward progress is likely with your goals, reputation, work, transportation, and educational plans or endeavors. New information or a different perspective helps you make better decisions.
There is certainly a strong focus on your life direction, career, or reputation in October. You're likely to receive more attention and admiration, especially on a professional or public level. Others might appreciate the responsibilities you fulfill or your performance and ability to lead. Or, a more goal-oriented approach to your life is satisfying.
Slow-moving Pluto turns direct in your sign on the 8th, and you get the distinct feeling that you're moving forward and more in charge of changes in your life. You are less likely to dwell on problems and more likely to take things into your own hands, take control of your impulses, and resolve issues. As well, your ruling planet, Saturn, turns direct on the 23rd, contributing further to a personal sense of purpose and movement.
Regarding home, family, and work-family balance, the Full Moon on the 9th brings buried, ignored, or hidden matters to the surface. The degree to which this is disruptive depends on how deeply you've buried problems! Realizations and discoveries in your career and home life can prompt you to make positive changes in your personal life. Opportunities can open up as you get the backing and support you need.
Venus and the Sun move into your hopes, dreams, and friendship sector on the 23rd. Your attention turns to happiness goals, connections, and networking. You find more joy and pleasure in reaching out and making connections.
Besides the confidence boost of Saturn's direct turn on the 23rd, money matters improve steadily. It's a good time to focus on firming up your budget, evaluating business projects, and paring down excess so that you can make yourself more secure and pay particular attention to your practical affairs.
The last week of the month brings a more robust social flavor, and you're taking more and more interest in connecting with friends, networks, the community, or your higher goals, dreams, and plans. An eclipse affects these areas of life, too, prompting a significant change of direction or a new beginning from the 25th. Goals that involve making connections, joining or strengthening ties in a group project or activity, and nurturing goodwill are the focus. Love and harmony are goals now! It's possible you'll be ending, starting, or completely transforming a friendship in the weeks ahead of this eclipse. Reflect on how you want to steer your life in the coming weeks, particularly in terms of your place in the social side of your life or in your community.
There can be some complications with Mars moving slowly and then turning retrograde on the 30th. There can be some tricky matters revolving around work or health matters. Energy may not be at its best for work and health routines, and you could feel sluggish and uninspired until you reassess things. Consider that while there can be delays, slowdowns, and confusing situations, your patience now will be rewarded later.
Jupiter's return to your communications sector on the 28th brings some previous projects or personal interests back to life.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
October 2022 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From October 23rd forward:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Eclipses
A partial Solar Eclipse occurs on October 25th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eleventh house, suggesting that a new approach to friendships or new friendships
altogether, a new path towards happiness and fulfillment, new associations or affiliations, or plenty of social activity are in store for you.
You may see the light in a friendship, realizing its importance in general, as well as the importance of acceptance and camaraderie. Circumstances may be such that you bring a new spirit of friendship into a romance or other connection in the next months. This can be invigorating.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until October 22nd:
Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.
From October 23rd forward:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury ends its retrograde on October 2nd: Information unclogs and delays lift in the weeks following Mercury’s direct turn.
Until October 10th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
From October 10-29:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
From October 29th forward:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
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.
Occurring in your solar sixth house during this date range, enthusiasm for your work or health regimes, or for work projects and daily routines, could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling. Work itself could seem to be less straightforward or satisfying. New initiatives with these matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors, and possibly frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

October 2022 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Until October 7th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From October 7-31:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.

October 2022 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
October 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until October 13th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.
Mars turns retrograde on October 30th, and will be retrograde until January 12th, 2023:
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.

New initiatives with these matters may appear less exciting, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in these areas of life. For some, there can be much preoccupation with your health or work endeavors, and possibly frustration with daily routines. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness on the job. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.
Overview Horoscope:
October 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
Your larger, long-term goals are in focus this month, dear Capricorn, and they're coming together nicely. You can feel on top of things now. Keep in mind that while you can be feeling especially enterprising, this is not the best month for brand-new ventures. Generally speaking, it's time to proceed slowly.
Creative or romantic opportunities can arise through business affairs in October. You are more interested in the long term when it comes to love, although, towards the end of the month, friendship and camaraderie assume more importance.
Mercury ends its retrograde on the 2nd, and blocks begin to lift, or motivation returns to pursue projects, studies, or work projects. Forward progress is likely with your goals, reputation, work, transportation, and educational plans or endeavors. New information or a different perspective helps you make better decisions.
There is certainly a strong focus on your life direction, career, or reputation in October. You're likely to receive more attention and admiration, especially on a professional or public level. Others might appreciate the responsibilities you fulfill or your performance and ability to lead. Or, a more goal-oriented approach to your life is satisfying.
Slow-moving Pluto turns direct in your sign on the 8th, and you get the distinct feeling that you're moving forward and more in charge of changes in your life. You are less likely to dwell on problems and more likely to take things into your own hands, take control of your impulses, and resolve issues. As well, your ruling planet, Saturn, turns direct on the 23rd, contributing further to a personal sense of purpose and movement.
Regarding home, family, and work-family balance, the Full Moon on the 9th brings buried, ignored, or hidden matters to the surface. The degree to which this is disruptive depends on how deeply you've buried problems! Realizations and discoveries in your career and home life can prompt you to make positive changes in your personal life. Opportunities can open up as you get the backing and support you need.
Venus and the Sun move into your hopes, dreams, and friendship sector on the 23rd. Your attention turns to happiness goals, connections, and networking. You find more joy and pleasure in reaching out and making connections.
Besides the confidence boost of Saturn's direct turn on the 23rd, money matters improve steadily. It's a good time to focus on firming up your budget, evaluating business projects, and paring down excess so that you can make yourself more secure and pay particular attention to your practical affairs.
The last week of the month brings a more robust social flavor, and you're taking more and more interest in connecting with friends, networks, the community, or your higher goals, dreams, and plans. An eclipse affects these areas of life, too, prompting a significant change of direction or a new beginning from the 25th. Goals that involve making connections, joining or strengthening ties in a group project or activity, and nurturing goodwill are the focus. Love and harmony are goals now! It's possible you'll be ending, starting, or completely transforming a friendship in the weeks ahead of this eclipse. Reflect on how you want to steer your life in the coming weeks, particularly in terms of your place in the social side of your life or in your community.
There can be some complications with Mars moving slowly and then turning retrograde on the 30th. There can be some tricky matters revolving around work or health matters. Energy may not be at its best for work and health routines, and you could feel sluggish and uninspired until you reassess things. Consider that while there can be delays, slowdowns, and confusing situations, your patience now will be rewarded later.
Jupiter's return to your communications sector on the 28th brings some previous projects or personal interests back to life.

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.
