This Month: Capricorn

September 2016: September can be a month of some backtracking and delays that allow you to refine and improve your projects, dear Capricorn. However, it's an important month for getting to a much better place mentally. Redoing work that you thought was complete or returning to old material or conversations and problems can make you feel a little stuck at times this month, but you're making substantial progress. 

For those Capricorns working on projects for publishing, this can be a busy and important time for refinements. The temptation may be to release a work or complete a project or study before you're entirely ready, but it's important to exercise patience. 

Jupiter moves to the top of your solar chart on the 9th, and will transit your career and reputation sector for over a year. This beneficial influence will unfold over thirteen months, but you'll see it kickstarted this month, particularly around the 25-26. This is a time for getting some pleasing feedback and recognition for the work you do, or for the effort you've made towards important goals. More importantly, it's a time when you feel prouder of your accomplishments, which motivates you to shoot a little higher. You might find yourself in a position to manage others, or there could be a promotion or more enjoyable work and goals during this pivotal transit. 

The 20-23 can bring out new information and insights that change your approach to your work and projects. You have a distinct edge now. Friendships improve and thrive starting in the last week of September. Finally, Mars moves into your sign on the 27th. This has been a long time coming, as Mars has spent an unusually long time in the sign behind yours, and you've been on the fence about many things. Energy and motivation levels may have suffered, but now you're picking up your socks and getting things done. This transit can be problematic at times, largely due to impatience or impulsiveness, but is powerful for personal confidence, and will be with you until November 9th.

This Year: Capricorn

2016 Yearly Horoscope Overview

The year ahead is strong for learning, broadening your horizons, and career advances, dear Capricorn. Jupiter transits your sector of spirit until September 9th, helping you to see the positive in whatever you do. Take advantage of any opportunity to learn, grow, and improve during this fortunate transit. There can be opportunities to publish, share ideas, and connect with people who help open your mind and expand your consciousness. All year, you’re encouraged to build your faith and understanding of where you stand as well as what you believe in. Study, learn, and connect in order to make the most of this positive time of growth and perspective. This is also a strong time for teaching, guiding, and mentoring. There can be recognition for your wisdom.

In March, use the energy of the Solar Eclipse in your communications sector to push a communications project forward, and the power of the Lunar Eclipse for sorting out your ambitions and career aspirations.

Socially, there can be some hiccups in 2016, particularly from May 27-June 29. This can also be a time for reorganizing some of your long-term goals and plans. Any slowdowns or delays occurring now can be fortunate – they help you make important changes and edits, or to perfect and strengthen a project.

Saturn, your ruler, spends the entire year in your privacy sector, and this can have the effect of pulling into yourself more frequently. You could find it difficult to make commitments and you might feel drained by daily communications, particularly while Saturn squares Neptune, peaking in June and September. It will be important to make a conscious effort to reach out to others more often. The Full Moon on May 21st can bring strong awareness of health or emotional issues that have been standing in the way of progress. You may be attracted to alternative ways of living, and to self-study fields, such as psychoanalysis, which can be very helpful.

Pluto continues to transit your sign, challenging you to get in better touch with yourself and to embrace who you are. You are ridding yourself of false images, changing the way you view yourself and altering the ways others see you. There is a rebirth of your image happening now, and combined with Saturn’s influence in your solar twelfth house, this is a powerful time for making personal changes. People are seeing a new “you”, and it’s more authentic.

2016 is an important year for professional and self-development, with less emphasis on love relationships. Without major influences on your romantic and partnership sectors this year, you’re less likely to make big changes in your love life. Mid-May and the last week of June to mid-July are the stronger periods of the year for attraction and relationship developments, even if they are minor ones. Friendships and family relationships are transforming, however.

August is a strong month for money matters, particularly related to the home. This is a strong year for doing work from home and work on the home as well. Many of you are vying for more financial independence. Overall, however, there is more focus on developing your skills and reputation or status in 2016 than there is on increasing income, although an influence beginning at the tail-end of the year should place more emphasis on organizing money matters.

A boon to your career, status, or reputation begins in September and is with you until October 2017. This is a time of strong visibility, even if your private life is still quite intense and in focus. It’s a period for reaching higher, embracing your ambitions, and putting yourself out there professionally. Bosses and parents are seeing you in a very pleasant light. Your services or charity may come before the public eye, and there are opportunities for recognition. There is more prestige or increased pride in your work. You can be a stronger manager, teacher, or leader now.

From December forward, until well into 2017, 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.

This Year in Love: Capricorn

2016 Love Horoscope for Capricorn

Until August 11th, Jupiter transits your intimacy sector, which can help boost the intimacy level of a relationship, or even with yourself, as you learn to open up and discover new ways to express your desires. This is a time for embracing your desires and needs. It’s a time of learning about a partner, about yourself, and about the myriad ways of expressing your affection. From August 11th, 2015, to September 9, 2016, Jupiter transits in harmony with your sign. While this is not a transit that directly affects relationship houses, it’s a good time for enjoying yourself and for managing the usual stresses of life better.

From October 2015 to June 2016, this Jupiter transit gets a nice boost and impacts you even more deeply. Jupiter forms a healthy aspect with Pluto, which is transiting your sign for the long term, and this encourages you to express and enjoy the more positive aspects of the sometimes complicated Pluto transit!

Speaking of the Pluto transit, this year it affects those born January 4-7 most directly (this also applies to people with a Capricorn Ascendant of 14 to 17 degrees). Pluto is the planet of transformation and stimulates deep personal changes. Loved ones will need to be patient as you get in touch with your deeper needs, and perhaps your “dark” side as well. You are learning about trust, faith, fear, and courage–really big issues. Some of you are being tested, so to speak, and might be dealing with betrayals or other intense experiences that get you more deeply in touch with yourself and your needs. You are learning this year to get more control over your life, and it is not without its challenges. As your energy fluctuates and you go through many personal ups and downs, partners need to be patient and understanding with you.

With Jupiter helping out Pluto for most of this period, you’re in a better position to embrace your deeper needs and wants, to understand and acknowledge your passions, and to find ways to channel this important energy. Discovering what makes you tick is part of this. Using it to make positive changes in your life is vital now.

A big theme during this period of your life involves deeper introspection, and it will be important for people in your life to give you the leeway to explore…more
