December 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun continues its transit through your solar twelfth house–a period that is designed for rest, reflection, and tending to private matters. Projects or issues that have naturally run their course are now ended. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!

From the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your solar first house, highlighting your personal interests and initiatives. You are feeling quite independent during this cycle–not content to take a back seat to anyone, nor to follow anyone’s lead but your own. You are likely to feel more confident and vital now, and you tend to make a distinct impression on others during this cycle. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It’s a great period to do something entirely new and pioneeringto go solo in some area of your life. The time to make a presentation is the 27-31, when Mercury is on your Sun and you make yourself perfectly clearand others listen to you with rapt attention!

Until the last week of December, this is one of the most private, withdrawn periods of the year for you. While it’s not the best time to push forward aggressively with new ventures, it’s an excellent period for developing new plans and strategies. There could be a setback regarding financial or emotional support from others around the 3-5, but you soon discover that it’s a blessing in disguise. By the last week of the month, your time spent on reflection begins to pay off, and youre ready to tackle life with a new game plan.

In the first half of the month, enthusiastic energy and a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your inner, spiritual world. Inspiration, a reward for past actions, or a renewed sense of spiritual vitality comes now. This sense of inner wellness is something that can provide you with a feeling of a new lease on life, even if it’s a private revelation for the time being.

This month, three inner planets (the Sun, Mercury, and Venus) align with Pluto and also form a harmonious trine to your ruler, Saturn. With Saturn in your solar eighth and Pluto in your solar twelfth, you are likely to discover resources that you never knew you had. Help seems to magically be there when you need it, and your own awesome strength and faith is always there to draw upon. Imaginative undertakings could boost your income this year as well. You could be working on a project in solitude or behind the scenes, and when you do come out with it, it could be quite profitable. This link is a long-term trend that occurs again next August and is in effect until then. Determination, perseverance, and a deep sense of purposefulness are brought to your private life–you are able to kick bad habits and past conditioning with tremendous resolve. The dates in December when you could see initial benefits, or at least hints of things to come, occur on the 6-8, 16-18, and 24-25. These would be ideal dates to begin working on ridding yourself of habits or modes of thinking that have, to date, undermined your confidence.

Your ruler, Saturn, forms some wonderfully supportive aspects this month–to Pluto, Venus, the Sun, and Mercury. These represent opportunity periods and occur on the 1-3, 5-7, 16-17, and 24. Appreciation for your talents, charm, and companionability arrive on the 5-7. It’s a strong period for attracting things (and people) into your life. Recognition, positive feedback, and good will comes your way on the 16-17, when others recognize your authority and competency, and you are simply glowing. A boost to your ego is bound to be part of the picture. The 24th is an opportunity period for all things to do with communication, news, learning, and speaking. An important conversation or good news may be part of the picture now. All month, your ruler is supported by Pluto, giving you an added measure of intensity, determination, and confidence. You are more able to strategize and plan, and you could find a lost item or uncover important information that furthers your goals. Red flag periods include the 4th, when misunderstandings, forgetfulness, or communication mishaps could be annoying; and the 18-19 and 30, when you might feel unappreciated.

Personal finances are not a major focus this month. The most opportune periods of the month for finances, however, include the 1st, 9-10, and 30-31. Speculation and new financial initiatives are best avoided on the 2-3, 12-13, 15, 20-22, and 29. Minor financial problems may be part of the picture on these dates.

Romantic and creative matters are quite strong for you in December, particularly after Venus enters Capricorn (from the 11th). Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1st, 6-8, 20th, and 26-27. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. The 6-8 is particularly spectacular for romantic and partnership matters–something taking place behind the scenes is active now. A past lover may resurface, or you could begin a relationship that tends to be quite private. You could find that you are seeing eye to eye with an existing partner, and singles could enjoy an opportunity to meet someone special. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 3-4, 12-13, 18-19, and 28-31. Of course, these would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 9-12, 19, and 25. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 4, 15, 22, and 29, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible. Matters related to your career and reputation are strong on the 1st, 6-8, 20th, and 26-27–particularly the 6-8, which is a power period for all career matters–and somewhat challenging on the 3-4, 13, 18, and 28-31.

After spending some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector, Venus transits your solar first house from the 11th. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through your own self, by presenting an elegant, graceful, magnetic, happy, socially outgoing, attractive personality, with much joy for living. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing. So, while you are somewhat withdrawn on certain levels, your desire to socialize is not compromised!

Mercury keeps your attention on private matters from the 8-27. Your mental and communicative energies are turned inward during this period. On a positive level, you may search for spiritual truth and mental enlightenment. Creative endeavors could flourish now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude, or even periods of seclusion, in order to get your thoughts together or to be productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. Its a good time to do research.

Mercury transits your solar first house from the 27th. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you tend to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself. Your honesty and willingness to communicate openly impresses others. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communications, this is a very positive and fruitful time for you. An active and restless spirit prevails, which stimulates many changes in personal affairs. Your mind is constantly assimilating facts and figures. There are times when you could find it difficult to turn the thinking process off, especially at bedtime when a good night’s sleep is most important. Study, mental activity paper work, letter writing, skilled manual dexterity, or frequent short trips may dominate much of your free time. Always maintain a positive state of mind. Negative thoughts can easily act on the health of your body.

Mars transits your privacy sector from the 6th, indicating that much of your energy could be channeled into private matters–a lot is going on behind the scenes, even though you are in demand in many areas of your life! This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing! Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts. This is a preparation period for a considerably more active and dynamic period when Mars transits your Sun beginning mid-January.

Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 27-31, when circumstances and others naturally support your goals and when you have much confidence in getting your message across. Grab opportunities to advance your career, enjoy romance, improve your finances, or to boost your reputation around the 6-7, 16-17, and 25.

Highlights:

December 2-3 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

December 2-3 Hard aspects operative now include Sun-Uranus, Venus-Chiron, and Mercury-Saturn. Negative thinking and expectations, as well as a generally rebellious mood, are not conducive to easy relating. Avoid pushing matters just now, particularly on professional, and intellectual levels. You could experience some frustrations with communications just now–perhaps you are misunderstood or your words are taken the wrong way. It’s also a potentially challenging period for financial matters.

December 4 Full Moon in Gemini in your solar sixth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on November 20th occurs now. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you–even if it’s a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you’ve been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.

December 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 6-8 Venus joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. Passions are strong and intense, but controlled. A new sense of responsibility in our social relationships is with us, and it’s of a pleasant variety–we feel renewed, committed, and dedicated. Solid proof of commitment gives us a deep feeling of purposefulness and meaning. An opportunity to stabilize and strengthen a social or romantic bond arises now. In your case, this configuration occurs in your intimacy and privacy sectors, making this a strong opportunity period for sharing on intimate and financial levels. Relationships are imbued with a deep sense of trust, maturity, and respect now, particularly intimate ones. You might come to an understanding or commitment regarding shared resources with a partner (or even an ex-partner), for example. Sincerity and depth are most important to you just now in your most intimate of relationships. New responsibilities concerning your commitments to intimacy, to financial stability, or to connecting with your past may arrive now, but they give you a strong sense of meaning and purposefulness. This is also a strong opportunity period for career and romance. Your ruler is connected powerfully to both Venus and Pluto, suggesting powerful magnetic appeal and charisma.

December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. Inspiration, a reward for past actions, or a renewed sense of spiritual vitality comes now. This sense of inner wellness is something that can provide you with a feeling of a new lease on life, even if it’s a private revelation for the time being.

December 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

December 15-18 The Sun joins with Pluto and trines Saturn; Mercury squares Uranus; Venus sesquiquadrates Saturn. The best way to use this energy to your advantage would be to focus on your commitment to your long-term goals. Hold off on major decision-making, saving it for a more auspicious time. Working on projects already in progress with an eye to your future is best now; research is especially rewarding. Ideally, you should be focusing on projects that are under way, as well as private concerns and matters. Wait until after the New Moon on the 20th, however, to begin new initiatives, particularly those that involve work, health, and speculative ventures. Focus on research for the time being. Avoid financial initiatives if possible. While you may be able to solidify joint finances now, your work may be unpredictable at best, and you could also be taken off guard by new responsibilities with romantic partners or children. Feeling underappreciated is quite likely for the time being.

December 19-20 Venus sextiles Uranus and Mercury sextiles Neptune. Pay special attention to your intuition now. We happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary during this period. For you, this is a strong period for career matters, romantic relationships and connections with your children, if applicable, and all work and health matters. Strong and pleasant communications regarding personal finances, as well as a pleasant surprise, are likely.

December 20 New Moon in late Sagittarius in your solar twelfth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon carries with it the potential for tremendous growth and transformation. This cycle represents an opportunity to find ways to transcend the mundane details of day-to-day life and nurture our faith, commitment, hope, and vision. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one’s spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first housea period that is more active and busy than this one.

December 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

December 21-22 Mars squares Uranus. It’s challenging to focus on any one particular task. Rebelliousness and impatience with rules and restrictions could get the best of us. There could be some tension regarding communications about the past. Unpredictable events on the home front or with family members could leave you feeling insecure or frustrated. Avoid stirring up more trouble than necessary now–many people aren’t in the most cooperative of moods.

December 23-24 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

December 24-25 Mercury joins with Pluto and trines Saturn. This is a time when we may share ideas, feelings, or thoughts that we normally keep hidden. Research brings rewards, new insights into old problems invites progress, and the uncovering of previously hidden information is inspiring. Thoughts, ideas, and communications are more intense and focused. We are more able, and motivated, to find hidden meanings and to cut to the chase. Efficiency and relevancy become important. This is an especially strong period for you in terms of gaining insight into private matters. An eye-opening conversation or discovery may figure now. Very strong opportunities for work, health, or travel and higher education could arise now.

December 28-29 Hard aspects operative now include Venus-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune. Jupiter sextiles Chiron. This is a dreamy period when pie-in-the-sky thinking tends to dominate. Excess is a strong inclination, with little thought about the consequences! While you may enjoy some wonderful conversations and opportunities to make friends, some feelings of being unappreciated are possible now. Enjoy yourself, but avoid going over the top.

December 29-30 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. 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 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.

From the 22nd, the Sun “hibernates” in your privacy sector, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have–to things, people, and routines–and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It’s not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it’s a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house at the beginning of December.

November promises a lively agenda until the last week of the month when you are less inclined to spread your energies around. Around the 5th, romance blooms or a creative endeavor bears fruit. November brings with it some roadblocks, but nothing you cant handle. Although you are very much in demand, some of your most important endeavors meet with obstacles and snags. Youll have plenty of time to rework your plans by the end of the month and into December, so do what you can to avoid stressing over details.

There is a rare preponderance of planets (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter) in the sign of Scorpio in the first approximately three weeks of November, placing strong emphasis on your friendship sector. This allows you to focus on one area of your life, but it can also incline you to obsess on the same! In your case, friendship, group and community affiliations, business income, and personal wishes capture much of your attention. Some of these planets (the Sun, Venus, and Jupiter) enter Sagittarius in the last week of the month, and a shift occurs towards emphasis on private matters. From the 19-23, some key astrological events give us a shot of adrenaline–Uranus turns direct, the New Moon occurs late in the sign of Scorpio, the Sun and Jupiter align, also late in the sign of Scorpio, and Jupiter enters Sagittarius.

Uranus direct on the 19th gives us all a blast of electric energy. Moving forward in your third house, and as the ruler of your second, this suggests new energy is brought to your communications, learning experiences, transportation, personal finances, and casual connections to others. Stagnation in these areas begins to lift. A new insight about your personal finances could figure. Alternatively, an unexpected communication could be part of the picture in the weeks surrounding the 19th. Uranus always acts to disrupt the status quo, often bringing surprising or erratic events.

Jupiter entering fiery Sagittarius, the sign that it rules, this month places the lucky planet in your twelfth house. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. From now until December 2007, Jupiter transits your twelfth house, benefiting activities carried out behind the scenes, quietly, alone, or in secret. More compassion and sensitivity enters your personality during this cycle. This position helps to allay self- destructive tendencies, deep-seated fears, and other deep-rooted problems, acting much like a guardian angel. Charitable and unselfish motivations bring benefits. New age studies increase your wisdom. This is an excellent time for any type of compassionate, mystical, or spiritual undertaking. Work that involves serving the physical, psychological, or spiritual needs of others can be rewarding. You are able to reconcile differences with those who may have been working secretly against you. Research can be especially productive. You may have psychic experiences or precognitive dreams. At any rate, your dreaming world is lighter, helpful, and more intuitive. Some people enter into a private romance during this cycle. In general, help seems to be there when you need it. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Mercury remains retrograde in Scorpio until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar eleventh house this cycle, you may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink these issues before talking about them prematurely. Also, it’s best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. In the weeks following the 17th, these matters begin to move forward. Mercury leaves its storm on the 22nd, when “all things Mercury” tend to resume near-normal pace, and leaves its shadow on December 4th. From the 22nd to December 4th, we have a chance to revisit matters that may have stumped or annoyed us while Mercury was retrograde.

Your ruler, Saturn, forms some challenging aspects to planets in Scorpio this month. This points to some personal challenges on the dates of these aspects: 1-2, 12-13, 16-17, and 27-29. On these dates, you may feel blocked, tense, or frustrated when things don’t seem to be going your way. An irksome message or conversation could be part of the picture on the 1-2; feeling unappreciated may figure on the 12-13; a minor blow to the ego may be cause for frustrations on the 16-17, or a financial matter gets to you; and a tendency to impulsive or tense actions on the 27-29 could get you into hot water. Because your eleventh house is strongly affected, troubles with friends, business income, or group affiliations may also figure.

Financial matters, happily, are moving forward at lightning speed. Wonderful opportunities to increase or secure your earning power and cash flow occur on the 1-3, 7-9, 12-14, and 21-23. Red flag periods for finances, when it’s better not to plunge forward on new financial initiatives, and when some minor financial strains are more likely to occur, are on the 25-26.

Romantic and creative matters are mostly friendly and easygoing this month. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1-2, 15-16, 21st, and 30-December 1st. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 6-7, 12-13, and 25-26. Of course, these would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example. A close partner may make a romantic declaration around the 5th.

Better times to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occur on the 6th and 11th. Red flag periods for these matters occur on the 7-8, when you should avoid scheduling health appointments or job interviews if feasible.

Venus plays in your solar eleventh house until the 17th. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. 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.

Venus warms your privacy sector from the 17th. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don’t know might just be helping you right now, because what’s happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough. Venus comes out of “hiding” on the 25th, when your emotions will be on your sleeve. Before that, laying low is best in the love department.

Mercury, the planet of communication, continues to activate your solar eleventh house all month. You have an active mind and the ability to come up with unusual ideas during this cycle. If this energy is used well, you can harness the power of your mind to turn your wishes into actuality. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. The only caution here is that Mercury is retrograde and then its storm until the 22nd, when communications can be challenging or awkward and decision-making foggy.

Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar eleventh house all month long. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

As planets continue to pile up in your sector of hopes and wishes, this is an important month for the generation of new ideas. Acting upon them won’t come quite yet–reflection will be in order next month and will help inspire you further–but it’s an exciting month nonetheless for hoping, wishing, and enthusiasm for your future.

Highlights:

November 1-3 Venus and the Sun trine Uranus, and Mercury retrograde squares Saturn. Although we are likely to revisit tense discussions and topics that occurred on October 22-23, this is a strong period for new ways of approaching old problems. For you, your ruler forms a tense aspect with an already somewhat debilitated planet, and you may be inclined to harp on insignificant matters–or face others who are overly critical or bearing negative news. Still, career matters run well and financial matters are strong.

November 4-5 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 5 Full Moon in Taurus in your solar fifth house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate and potentially creative, but disillusionments may be part of the picture. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on October 22nd occurs now. You want to have fun, and the demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. It can be hard to find time for everything you want to do, but without creative self-expression (be it romantic or playful), you simply won’t feel complete. It’s time to do something self-expressive, fun, and creative. You may be required to complete a creative project at this time. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

November 6-9 With the Sun, Mercury, and Venus square Neptune during this period, we need to be wary of anything that looks too good to be true. Disappointments, disillusionments, foggy thinking, and wishful thinking are all strong possibilities now, and can affect our relationships, finances, communications, and more. This is a red flag period for all. For you, confused thinking or decision-making based upon wishful thinking rather than practicality may be an issue, particularly surrounding your personal finances, career, and romantic relationships. If these matters disappoint you now, examine whether it is a case of self-delusion instead of assuming that others have deceived you.

November 9-10 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 15-16 Venus conjuncts Jupiter, and we have a taste for “the finer things” in life. Generosity, tolerance, and sociability come naturally, and so does over-indulgence in life’s pleasures. Occurring in your sector of hopes and wishes, circumstances may be such that you feel uplifted and hopeful for your future. This is an excellent period for your career, and payoffs on a business venture may be forthcoming.

November 16-17 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 17-18 The Sun squares Saturn and Mars squares Neptune. Mercury is stationary direct. Caution is in order – this is a red flag period for all. We are not seeing things clearly, and new initiatives should be avoided until after the New Moon on the 20th. You may feel unappreciated and frustrated due to a feeling of being “invisible”. A disappointment regarding joint finances or family matters may be part of the picture. Avoid new financial initiatives.

November 20 New Moon in late Scorpio in your solar eleventh house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon aligns with good luck Jupiter, but also squares Saturn. This cycle represents an opportunity to rid ourselves of the “junk” in our lives–material and spiritual. The eleventh house is a sector associated with networking, making contact, group activities, and income earned from business. With the New Moon here, focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. It’s a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. Heightened awareness of your position in life within the context of the group, rather than through self-centered focus, is probable with this position of the New Moon, as well as a need for social security. Goals that involve networking, making connections with others, joining or strengthening ties in a group project/activity, and nurturing good will are the focus this month.

November 20-23 The Sun conjuncts Jupiter, Venus sextiles Chiron, Mercury trines Uranus, and Uranus turns direct. Power days for all. Electric energy, faithfulness, bright ideas, optimism, the desire to break out and experience more from life. This is a time to break free from limiting circumstances and to start something new. For you, you are finally feeling understood after a period when it has seemed like you have been putting your foot in your mouth one time too many. You may decide to use this period to gain the support you need. A friend may give you reason to increase your faith in life.

November 23-24 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 25-26 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 26-28 Venus squares Uranus, Mars squares Saturn. Watch for impulsive attractions. We may have to face the consequences of past behavior now. Forcing matters only brings resistance and frustrations. Avoid impulsive actions and hasty words.

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

October 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun puts a spotlight on your tenth house–the most visible sector of the chart. This is the most ambitious period of the year for you. You are more visible and perhaps in demand. Your personal fulfillment now is reinforced most by accepting responsibility for others and for the job you do. At this time of year, your more serious, hard-working, and perhaps sober side comes out for others to see. For some, pessimism gets the upper hand. For most, it’s a satisfyingly goal-oriented and disciplined cycle. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight.

From the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your solar eleventh house. It’s a sociable sector, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. You’re more detached than usual, as you tend to intellectualize things in your life these days. Conferences or other gatherings that are related to future developments and/or shared ideals and interests succeed for you at this time. You may lead, facilitate, or organize an important group function. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is strong. Personal relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. From the 13th, some down time is in order. Before that, enjoy your lively calendar!

Demonstrating exactly how competent and responsible you really are is something that comes quite naturally to you. This month, youre in the position to prove your worth, and youre coming across with especial dynamism and confidence, even if part of you privately worries about your performance. A property or family matter reaches fruition early month. Although challenges and stress could be part of the picture, tremendous career opportunities–based on past and present performance–present themselves mid-month, and it’s up to you to seize them.

Your ruler, Saturn, forms some very creative aspects this month, implying that opportunities to advance your objectives are bound to arise. Saturn sextiles Mars, the Sun, and then Venus on the following dates: 11-13, 15-16, and 18th, respectively. All of these planets occupy your solar tenth house when they form the sextile to Saturn in your eighth house, suggesting that benefits and opportunities are likely to arise through your career or some form of public or professional recognition. It may very well take monetary form, particularly around the 15-16. From the 11-13, your confidence will serve you especially well. Expressing yourself clearly and being aboveboard with people is your best bet now. Because you appear confident, others are inclined to follow your lead now. It’s a better time of the month to assert yourself positively, as you are more inclined to be received well and less likely to offend anyone. So, if you are looking for a raise, it’s a great time to do so (the 15-16 and 18th are also good periods for this). From the 15-16, you are noticed and acknowledged for your talents. You are likely to receive appreciation and a positive response, and possibly an opportunity or personal contact that will be quite beneficial. On the 18th, you are coming across with easy charm, and others are drawn to you magnetically. Light and pleasant interactions characterize this time period. You gain what you want through diplomacy or charm and by enlisting the support of your friends, rather than by being forthright and bold. This is an opportunity period for romantic and creative affairs in addition to career matters.

Saturn also trines Pluto at the end of the month and into November–and this is excellent news for you. You are more perceptive than usual. You see other people’s true colors more clearly and you may discover a secret or the hidden aspect of some situation that benefits you. Something lost, hidden, or forgotten may come to light, furthering your own cause or objectives in a most pleasant manner. Red flag days for your ruler include the 5-6, when you could feel unappreciated or concerned about a romance; and the 22-27, when Saturn squares Jupiter (discussed immediately below).

Jupiter in your eleventh house squares Saturn in your eighth house from the 18-31. We’re forced to do things by the book during this phase, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. There is no “easy fix” just now. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. You are best off eliminating something in order to improve the overall quality of your life. This aspect can play out in a number of different ways in your life, affecting issues surrounding intimacy matters, joint or shared finances, loans, financial support, and transformational changes (where demands or restrictions are present or required) on one hand, and friendships, networking, group associations, and long-term goals (where the urge to expand and enjoy is great) on the other. For example, financial responsibilities, limitations, or pressures/demands from close relationships may be preventing you from enjoying a sense of community or the desire to expand your circle of friends.

Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on the 28th. This Mercury retrograde cycle lasts until November 17th. Mercury retrograde cycles are periods when communications and transportation matters don’t go as smoothly as usual. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Occurring in your solar eleventh house this cycle, you may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink these issues before talking about them prematurely. Also, it’s best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts.

With Neptune in your finances sector and forming trines to the Sun, Venus, and Mars, opportunities to boost your income can come through communications and your career. These strong periods occur from the 3-5, 9-11, and 13-14. Watch for impulsive spending or overreaching on the 16-18, and it would be wise to avoid major financial initiatives on the 1-2 and 19-21.

Romantic and creative opportunities are powerful this month, thanks to your romantic sector ruler, Venus, aligning with the Sun and Mars from the 20-26. These represent super nova opportunities to enhance or attract romance. Also strong periods for romance occur on the 3-4, 13-14, and 18-20. These are all power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. This is a month when you can attract or enhance a casual romantic relationship–much activity occurs in October. Small issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 1-2, when disappointing or elusive behavior is likely, the 5-6, when loneliness or heavy feelings of responsibility could temporarily put a damper on the fun, and the 27-28, when either of you feels misunderstood or is self-protective when it comes to displays of affection. This is a time when others don’t really see you in the best romantic light.

A better time to schedule job interviews or health appointments, and for success and happiness on the job, occurs on the 10-11. Less favorable days for these matters include the 5th, 8-9, and 15-16. A situation in which a gain can only transpire if you cut back in another area of life could arise on the 22-25. Career matters are in focus big time in October. Movement and activity in your career is a given, particularly mid-month when a raise or money opportunity could seem to come from out of the blue. It’s time that others recognized your talents!

Venus transits your career and reputation sector until the 24th. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. Occasionally this is a time when a partnership is formed with someone who one meets through business affairs or who is success and status oriented.

Venus transits your sociable eleventh house from the 24th. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. 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 occur 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 transits your eleventh house from the 2nd. You have an active mind and the ability to come up with unusual ideas during this cycle. If this energy is used well, you can harness the power of your mind to turn your wishes into actuality. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. Note, however, that when Mercury slows down and then retrogrades in the last week of the month, you could experience problems with communications in these areas of life.

Mars activates and energizes your tenth house until the 23rd, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could easily find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let others interpret your enterprising nature as aggressiveness or insensitivity–there’s a fine line, and you of all signs are most likely to understand how to keep things balanced.

From the 23rd, Mars transits your eleventh house. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Highlights:

September 30-October 1 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 2-3 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 3-5 Mars trines Neptune and Venus trines Chiron. This combination is spiritual, heartwarming, and compassionate. It’s an excellent period for enhancing and healing relationships, as well as for expressing compassion and understanding. We act on our intuition now and our creative impulses are potent. We are less tense and driven, and more relaxed. “What will be, will be” is the attitude. Inspiration can be found. The arts and anything that requires relying on intuition and imagination are favored. This period is especially rewarding for you in the areas of career, romance, travel, your relationships with children, and home and family matters. An opportunity to boost your income is likely to arise now.

October 6-7 Full Moon in Aries in your solar fourth house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate, self-centered, aggressive, and potentially creative. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.

October 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 9-11 The Sun trines Neptune, Mercury trines Uranus, and Mars sextiles Saturn. This combination of influences can produce epiphanies and dreamy ideals that may actually bear weight in the real world. We’re at the right place at the right time, probably because our hunches are more likely to be correct and we are “tuned in”. This is a most opportune time for self-improvement programs or efforts. This is an opportune time to attend meetings and other organized group activities, to communicate online, and to take part in activities involving computers, scientific projects, and metaphysics. Unexpected gains may be realized through such mediums. The intuition is strong, and insights seem to come from “out of the blue”. Original, creative ideas are easy to come by. Work takes on definite shape, and we can see results from our efforts. This gives us a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. Your ruler in dynamic aspect to Mars endows you with purposeful courage. Others see you as a leader now. It’s an excellent time to ask for a raise or to get the funding you need for an important project. It’s also an excellent period for financial matters of virtually any kind for you. Good news or new insights could come from, or revolve around, a friend or group.

October 12-13 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 13-16 Venus trines Neptune, Mars sextiles Pluto, the Sun sextiles Saturn, and Mercury squares Neptune. This creative combination inspires imagination that can effectively be put into action. Although it’s not the best time to sign on the dotted line, we can make significant headway on in-progress projects. This can be a dreamy time on a romantic level as well. With your ruler harmoniously connecting to the Sun, this is an excellent period for personal influence, positive feedback, and rewards of all kinds. Others trust you more than usual, and you tend to attract positive vibes. This is an outstanding period for career and reputation matters. As well, this is a time when it is easier to attract the support you want or need. Romantic and creative matters are also strong.

October 17-20 Venus sextiles Saturn and Pluto, and the Sun sextiles Pluto. Yet another creative combination occurs now, and opportunities abound. This is a time when love matters and social relationships can be solidified; and when solid progress with finances can occur. It’s also a time when research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. It’s about watching and waiting–observing and collecting information before we make our move. With your ruler in harmonious contact to Venus, relationship matters run smoothly, and you feel particularly appreciated. Charm employed now works wonders. It’s more about attracting than go-getting for the time being. Career opportunities occur now. This is a time when it’s easy to get the backing you need.

October 20-21 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 22 New Moon in late Libra in your solar tenth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is very creative and relationship-oriented. In your house of career and reputation, a new creative beginning with regards to your relationship with authority figures and to the public, as well as new creative energy brought to career and business matters, is in store now and in the month ahead. Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.

October 22-26 The Sun conjuncts Venus and Mars; Mercury conjuncts Jupiter and squares Saturn. This is a vital, dynamic time when we thrive on progress and activity, as well as lively, creative, and sexual energy. Our creativity and desire to make something beautiful is stimulated now. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. We may also feel compelled to do something creative or artistic. In some cases this impulsive energy generates “love at first sight” scenarios or erotic interludes. Team work is more successful now. Some level of competition is present in our interactions, but it’s likely of a pleasurable and gently challenging kind. In terms of mental pursuits, we may have to make a choice in which both alternatives are desirable, but we must choose one at the expense of the other. For you, this is an active and creative period for career, family, and financial matters. There may be some challenges encountered in this period, however, with regards to communications. The Jupiter-Saturn square, discussed above in the Overview, is highlighted now. With your ruler square Mercury and Jupiter, you may be called upon to make an important decision or a difficult choice.

October 27-28 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 27-29 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until November 17th–a cycle when rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later. As well, both the Sun and Venus square Chiron, making it a less than ideal time to ask for favors and to make important purchases. For you, there could be some doubts or concerns regarding friends and career issues. This is a red flag period for all–it’s best to avoid major changes now.

October 29-30 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

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

September 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun shines a spotlight on your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

From the 23rd, 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.

An opportunity to travel or to meet people from a different background than yours around the 7th whets your appetite for adventure. You have been expressing the more adventurous, fun-loving side of your personality, but by mid-month, you are ready to prove your worth. Professional and public matters demand your attention, and you are coming across as especially responsible and competent. A boost on the job is in store on the 25th. Friendships receive a blast of new energy, and a new friendship is an exciting possibility in September.

Pluto turns direct this month after an approximately 6-month retrograde period. Slowly but surely, relationships with friends and associates improve. Where you are headed in the grand scheme of things becomes a little more clear. You are ridding yourself of guilt that has been undermining your confidence.

Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th in the middle degree of Pisces. Its conjunction to Uranus brings a surprising turn of events. The other is a Solar Eclipse on the 22nd in the last degree of Virgo. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided in the first week of September as well as from the 15th to 22nd.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.

The Solar Eclipse on the 22nd marks a new beginning for you. Flaws in an important system in your life are revealed and it’s time to start fresh. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to the way you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be formed in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

Your ruler, Saturn, forms some tense aspects with Mercury, Mars, and the Sun on the 13-16 and 28-29. This could mean challenges, but it can also lead to opportunities. The 13-16 could involve challenges on the job, likely due to gossip or harsh words. Feeling misunderstood and unsupported is likely, but do what you can to take steps towards resolving conflicts, and you’ll feel stronger at the end of the day. On the 28-29, you could be feeling slighted or undervalued. An excellent period for recognition (likely on the job) occurs on the 25th, however. The rewards could be monetary.

Jupiter squares Neptune from the 20-29, affecting your second and eleventh houses. We may be misled easily under this influence–by others, or by our own unrealistic expectations. An inability to focus on important and realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration, is likely now. You may be challenged to defend your ideals. Giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if others are not appreciating your efforts. This may play out with siblings or neighbors, with your finances, or it could have to do with the services you render to others. Be careful that you are not deceived. There could be a bit of back-stabbing going on, or something hidden is revealed that gets you down. As well, avoid financial speculation during this period.

This could be a rather challenging month for personal finances with the ruler of your money sector, Uranus, receiving a whole slew of challenging aspects. Less favorable days for financial initiatives include the 3-5, 15-16, 19-20, 25-27, and the 29th. Needless to say, it’s not the best month to make large purchases. You might have to deal with travel expenses that go over-budget, school expenses, or uncertainty on the job.

With regards to romance, the 1st, 18-19, and 27-28 are the most active and favorable periods of September. The chances for some intense emotional and/or sexual experiences on the 27-28 are strong. Be a little more cautious with your heart on the 9-10, 15-16, 21-22, and 25th. These are less than ideal dates for scheduling first dates, and existing romances could see some stormy weather–nothing you can’t handle, but frustrating just as well.

Apply some caution at work (and with your health) on the 5th, 7th, 9th, 14th, 19-20, and 29th. Avoid scheduling office parties, job interviews, or health appointments during these periods if you can. Save them, if possible, for the 3rd, 15th, 23-25 and 27-28. Excellent periods for recognition for your professional efforts occur on the 1st and 25th. Your career may take you on a trip or some kind of adventure this month.

Venus moves through your adventure sector from the 6th. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Chatty Mercury is in your ninth until the 12th. The expansion of your mind and intellect through foreign travel, philosophy, higher education and other enlightening studies is likely now. Your mind is especially active evaluating new ideas, although your attention to details may be scant now. Public speaking, journalism, or teaching may feature. You have to be careful not to scatter your energy by engaging in more activities than you can possibly handle. Frequent phone calls or letters may be necessary to resolve issues of a legal nature, or in connection with overseas matters. You are anxious to share your personal philosophy and your opinions during this cycle.

Mercury moves through your solar tenth house from the 12th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional and worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing during this period. You might even be able to talk your way into a managerial post. Executive ability is with you now. You are bound to think and talk a lot about financial security and professional matters. Your thinking is more logical and precise than usual, with the ability to come straight to the point of any matter under discussion. Mental work or a good deal of short distance travels may be connected with your vocation right now.

Mars moves to your solar tenth house on the 8th, adding energy and verve to your career and public life. You “chafe at the bit” when bosses try to restrict your freedom of movement, speech, or actions. For this reason, your career interests may be shifting, seeking new and challenging career opportunities that offer more flexibility in self-expression and personal decisions. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

The most rewarding period of the month overall is likely to be from the 6-14, when your charm is effortless. The 8-23 may be particularly busy and active, perhaps stressful for those not used to such a flurry of activity.

Highlights:

August 31-September 1 Venus trines Pluto and the Sun conjuncts Mercury. A conversation or communication today could open the doors to a new financial opportunity. Be sure to read between the lines. You might find something you thought you had lost, or uncover information from the past that helps you now.

September 2-3 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 3-7 The Sun and Mercury activate the Jupiter-Uranus trine. Both oppose Uranus and sextile Jupiter. Opportunities are present, but not without a struggle. Face-offs can occur now, as well as brazen assertions of independence. Sudden events and surprising news are in store. This can be a time of great insight or revelations–a time when you see the light and are jolted out of your usual (or automatic) mode of thinking and living. New perceptions come intuitively now.

September 5-6 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 7 Full Moon in Pisces in your solar third house. This is a potent Full Moon–a Lunar Eclipse–that can affect us for months after it occurs. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.

September 9-12 Mercury squares Pluto, and the Sun and Mars form tense aspects with Neptune. Watch for sarcastic speech and suspiciousness, especially on the job and when expressing your opinions; as well as confusion or self-deception. Vagueness with or about family and personal finances could bother you now. It’s challenging to see clearly at this time, so do your best to avoid signing on the dotted line, particularly concerning financial matters.

September 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 15-16 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now. This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others. We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with or about co-workers–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be part of the picture, and could involve differences of opinion. Travel or education plans may be disrupted. News may come now that is unexpected.

September 18-19 Venus sextiles Jupiter. We are big-hearted and our feelings are expansive under this influence. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. We easily find meaning in our social connections. We are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is a favorable influence for winning people’s trust, healthy speculation, advertising, publishing, finances, and travel. For you, this is a strong period for travel and educational matters, career and business matters, and romance. This is also a good time for clearing up private matters. Something from the past may come up now that brings rewards.

September 22 New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in late Virgo in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon. This New Moon is especially potent because it is a Solar Eclipse. Its energy is with you for the next six months. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

September 22-23 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 23 Mercury trine Neptune. Imagination and intuition run high, and are involved in decisions made today. We are in the right place at the right time. We are inspired and able to inspire others with our words. This influence favors photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. For you, this is a strong period for boosting your reputation in general and more specifically on the job. Use your intuition, and listen to your hunches regarding business and work matters. It’s an excellent time to open up the lines of communication with a co-worker or boss. A boost in your finances or a new money-making venture may be part of the picture.

September 24-26 Venus squares Pluto, Jupiter squares Neptune (discussed in the Overview, above) and Mercury sextiles Saturn. Intense emotions and clashes over personal values are in store now. However, it’s a good time to get organized and to do some solid work that will have benefits down the road. This is a strong period for you when you can present your ideas and opinions with confidence, and others listen. You may receive good news or helpful advice, especially on the job or about work. Some challenges with creative projects, children, or romance may present themselves, but you are in a good position to clear the air and talk things through.

September 27-29 Mercury sextiles Pluto and sesquiquadrates Uranus; the Sun semi-squares Saturn and trines Chiron. Conflicts and blockages encountered now can lead to improved circumstances, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. A truth may come to light now, or something from the past retrieved or found. Conversations are deeper and more sincere. Constructive strategies formulated now have long-term benefits. However, listen to your intuition in addition to your sense of reason.

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

August 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August

Overview. Until the 23rd, the Sun spotlights your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

From the 23rd, the Sun illuminates your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

Mercury picks up speed after a period of retrogradation in July.

Problems involving misunderstandings with your partner, mess-ups on the job, and travel plans are resolved for the most part early this month, particularly after the 4th. You can become more confident about decision-making with regards to partnerships, job issues, higher education, and travel.

Its not like you to neglect the details of your personal finances, but things that have slipped through the cracks come up for inspection. Reality sets in, and the necessity to curb your excesses becomes apparent. A romantic partner is looking for more intimacy. Luckily, you are prepared to give it. Honest communication on emotionally-charged topics, like power dynamics and shared finances, is the way to go now. A feeling of being truly valued and appreciated is with you, and your powers of attraction peak around the 27th.

August is a heavy, active month for your ruler, Saturn. Saturn forms three conjunctions: to the Sun, Mercury, and then Venus. In many areas of your life, you are starting fresh new cycles. On the 6-7, you have a chance to show your authority and self-mastery skills. You could also cement an intimate relationship. This is a good time to get a handle on your finances, especially any joint resources. You express yourself and make yourself crystal clear on the 20th, especially on the job or through literary pursuits. You may also receive important information today. Charm is with you on the 26-27. A strong cycle begins with your love affairs or creative projects on the job. You may be called upon to perform on the job, or you could even receive a promotion to a more managerial position. A hobby could also reap rewards or turn a profit around this time.

With Neptune in opposition to your ruler this month, however, disappointments or disillusionments may provide the oomph behind your need to re-formulate plans and start fresh. It may not feel fabulous to look reality square in the face, but you know the value of seeing your life for what it is. Building is what you need to do now, instead of focusing on past mistakes or crushed dreams.

Tricky days for finances occur particularly on the 1-6, as well as on the 9-14. Avoid speculation or new financial initiatives on these dates. Impulsive spending is something you need to watch for now. An argument or disagreement about finances on the 12-14 could revolve around property, or you could encounter resistance from your family. Some kind of disruptive or surprising change regarding your finances could crop up now. An excellent period for your personal finances occurs on the 23-31, when money could arrive from hidden or surprising sources.

Some adjustments in your love life are likely this month. Issues of mistrust or out-and-out disappointments could be part of the picture on the 2-3. Days when adjustments in your love life may be necessary, or when problems arise, include the 2-3, 7-11, 17, 19-20, 22-23, and 27th. These periods are also less than ideal for scheduling first dates. From the 24-29, there may be a brand new love in your life, or a new lease on love! However, a disappointment or shattered dream may be the reason for your new attitude. Your personal magnetism is working over-time on the 30-31.

Excellent days for health and work matters occur on the 24th and the 31st. These are great days to schedule job interviews, to join a gym, or to go for health appointments. On the 20-21, you are called to face a few realities about your job or your state of health. It could be a tricky time, but ultimately liberating. Perhaps you realize that your job is less than ideal, for example, but the realization that you need to do it right comes at the same time. Days when you should avoid scheduling job interviews or health appointments, if you can help it, are the 1-6, 9-10, 14-16, and 18-19.

This month, Saturn opposes Neptune across your second and eighth house axis. This tricky opposition is activated by the Full Moon on the 9th, by Mercury on the 20-21, and by Venus on the 26-27. You experience a clash between reality and your ideals and dreams, particularly with regards to your personal finances and possessions, your joint or shared finances and resources, and intimacy matters. You may become very demanding and critical of others, particularly close partners (business or personal) and siblings–or they are demanding of you. Painful memories may surface that need to be dealt with, and fears and insecurities may not be based on realistic expectations. Since you set your goals for success far out of reach these days, you are likely to “fail” (at least in your eyes) during this time. It is difficult for you to separate fact from fiction, and you may feel that you are going through a “reality shift.” Fears and anxieties may be overwhelming at times, but remember that things are certainly not as bad as they seem. There can be a feeling of being drained by the demands (or even the lack of demands) of others, or frustrated because someone wants something concrete and secure, and the other is not clear in terms of what they want. This feeling of being drained is experienced by all, but for you, personal finances and joint/shared resources are the likely arenas where this influence will play out. There may be confusing matters or delays with regards to the attainment of loans, refunds, child support, or other support. There may be a feeling of being alone in the world, compounded by the idea that practical matters, such as finances and budgeting, seem elusive or confusing. This can also be an important month as well for your education, learning, and communications, also coming under the rule of Saturn and Neptune. Burdens, responsibilities, separations, or the need to mature quickly are things you are dealing with now in these life departments. The best way to handle this is to develop a workable plan for tending to your needs for financial security. Maturation is in order, and if you can think in terms of “building” slowly but surely, you will feel more grounded and realistic.

Jupiter trines Uranus in the last week of August. This transit is known for being lucky, and always brings something unexpected. You could have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a real estate deal coming through, a business or job opportunity, a sudden windfall, money from the blue, a job promotion, or a chance meeting with someone who opens your mind or contributes to your success. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You may come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time, particularly regarding money-making prospects.

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 12th. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships–both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. 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, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! 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 relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 12th. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through harmonious sexual relationships, friendships, and business interests. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

While Mercury is in your relationship sector (until the 11th), you are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists. You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue. You carefully weigh the pros and cons, and are more willing than usual to listen to other people’s point of view. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, 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 give counsel to other people, or to smooth over differences. You know how to use the art of diplomacy and you can appreciate opposing viewpoints even if you don’t necessarily agree with them during this period.

Chatty Mercury is in your intimacy sector from the 11-27, along with Venus. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.

Mars energizes your adventure sector all month. You are likely to exert your energy and initiative now through self-development, travel, exploration, sports, religion, philosophy or higher education, in order to gain a broad experience of life. You are very independent, enthusiastic, and curious during this cycle–and you could also be itching for some kind of adventure! Sometimes, this position points to troubles with the in-laws or intellectual arguments in general. You enjoy any form of intellectual challenge and should do well in gaining academic qualifications or succeeding at debates. During this cycle, you have a crusading spirit, as well as breadth of vision. Your instincts for promotion are also strong now.

The most rewarding periods of the month overall are the 1-7, when energy is easy to find–from within and without; and the 23-31, when the Sun harmonizes with your own Sun, and you generally feel supported by your environment and the people in it.

Highlights:

July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of otherswhat makes them tickas well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

July 26-27 Venus trines Jupiter. Under this influence, good humor, good will, strong morals, and a healthy sense of responsibility all contribute to a happy time. We are able to achieve growth through good feelings now. This is an excellent time for you to attract what (and who!) you want. This is also a strong period for career matters.

July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later. As Mercury regains speed in the next week, improvements will be seen, but you may want to hold off on new deals until after August 4th.

July 30-31 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 30-31 Venus trines Uranus. Romantic surprises. Under this influence, we lose our fear of taking risks and we happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary with regards to romantic involvements as well as financial undertakings. We are ready to experiment, but not necessarily ready to commit. Creative inspiration can be had now. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and we are more willing to socialize. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, and the arts, as well as for group activities. Pleasant surprises are in store for you with regards to love affairs, pleasurable and leisure activities, children, and career matters.

August 1-2 Our egos may be a bit out of control with the Sun in tense aspect to Jupiter and Pluto. Expansion is possible if we can keep our egos in check! Overspending may be brought to light now, or at least resisted. Resist the temptation to overstate your feelings.

August 3-5 Awkward aspects involving Venus-Neptune, Mercury-Pluto, and Sun-Uranus suggest some adjustments are necessary. This is a time when we tend to second-guess, re-think, and temporarily lose our faith in people. This could be a challenging period for your love affairs, work, and friendships. You may find yourself at odds with a friend or partner over finances. You could also temporarily question whether your partner values the same things as you do, or if you are getting satisfaction from your job.

August 6-7 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 6-9 The Sun aligns with Saturn in Leo, and Mars forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. We become aware of increased responsibilities in our careers, love affairs, or family life. Perhaps we recognize the dangers of stress and overwork. We have a chance to become more mature, goal-oriented, and responsible. This can be a good time to begin a cycle in which we build a business, especially a creative one, or re-commit to a long-term project. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Positive yet realistic attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. For you, circumstances are such that you become acutely aware of a maturation process with regards to how you handle issues of sharing and trust. You are required to come up with something solid now in terms of your level of commitment to a partner, as well as your own ability to trust others. Your joint finances may require fine-tuning, and could come up for inspection. Issues surrounding your ability to prove just how responsible you are may be part of the picture. Some advances can be made in your family affairs now. Your dreaming world and/or your spiritual health enjoys a healthy injection of adventure and passion.

August 8-9 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar second house. This Full Moon highlights a Saturn-Neptune opposition, bringing into our awareness a clash between our ideals and reality. Challenges in your personal finances, property, possessions, joint finances, and intimacy matters may come to light, and you may be feeling drained by the demands of these areas of life. Striking a balance is in order, but getting to that medium ground may be a bit of a struggle. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy–the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

August 9-13 Uranus is in hard aspect to Mercury, Venus, and Mars, while the Sun opposes Neptune. Infatuations are more likely now–with people, things, and ideas. The desire for something new and exotic–something that breaks the routine–is strong during this period. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have us acting on a whim. We may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in our relationships. We have a tendency to take risks, to feel restless, and to act on sudden impulses without considering consequences. We assert our wills and individuality powerfully, and we are willing to fight for freedom. There may be changes in work schedules, or life’s circumstances could challenge us in such a way that we need to change our goals or actions. Some disappointments or disillusionments are also possible now. A lover or child may be hell-bent on protecting his or her freedom or displaying erratic behavior. Clashes between the demands of your intimate life and attention to your own affairs could surface. Disappointments with finances are possible. Avoid confrontations with family members and siblings, and also take care that what you write or say doesn’t cause controversy or backlash.

August 14-15 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 16-17 The Sun trines Pluto, and we are able to get to the bottom of things. We are more decisive than usual, and our abilities to concentrate and focus help us achieve what we set out to do. This is a very positive aspect for starting a money-making endeavor or a new project. Research brings rewards. We benefit now from strategy and keeping things to ourselves for the time being. Opportunities to find or renew something we had lost, and to gain some power are available now. This energy urges you to express the “real you” with confidence, but also with discretion. You don’t need to put all of your cards on the table just now. Your personal finances could get a boost now, perhaps from a hidden or unexpected source. Something from your past could come up and boost your joint finances or your intimate relationships. Lessons from your past could boost your income now and into the future. This is an excellent period for you to kick a bad habit.

August 19-20 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 19-21 Mercury conjuncts Saturn, quincunxes Uranus, and opposes Neptune; Venus forms a tense aspect with Pluto. This is a time when you are inclined to sort out your thoughts and re-think your strategies. Do just that, and avoid speaking out prematurely. You are required to show your responsible side, even if you are feeling a bit disappointed, or even disillusioned, with your life just now. This is a time when you need to re-formulate life strategies. It’s probably wise not to believe everything you hear now, as some important information may be omitted. Good news about your job or about an upcoming trip could come your way now. Some doubts and jealousy issues could also arise in your love affairs, or you could be completely misunderstood by a person you are attracted to.

August 22-23 Venus squares Jupiter. Use caution with your finances and your heart. If something seems too good to be true, it may very well be at this time! Feelings of elation in love or with regards to the pleasures of life can lead us to overdo, overindulge, overspend, and overstate our feelings. We might take great strides to get noticed. Avoid hasty (or haughty!) decisions, and steer clear of impulsive buying. Lovers may be promising more than they can deliver–take what they say with a grain of salt.

August 23 New Moon in Virgo in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

August 24 Mercury trines Pluto, and we stand to gain enormous insight into problems, projects, and people! Conversations today could help you solve nagging problems in your life and allow you to move forward. This is a strong day for you on the job, and for beginning any self-improvement program. An enlightening conversation with a friend could take place now.

August 26-27 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 26-27 Venus conjuncts Saturn and opposes Neptune. Relationships are tricky and perhaps disappointing for the time being. We might want a commitment while a significant other remains evasive and hard to pin down–or vice versa. This is a time when love and pleasure come knocking. You are especially charming and attractive now. Ambiguities with regards to your financial affairs, however, may have you feeling anxious, but there’s no better time than now to formulate realistic plans for improving your commitments.

August 28-30 Mars squares Pluto and Jupiter trines Uranus. This is a time of fun surprises and interesting opportunities. Something comes along that breaks your routine. You may have new opportunities presented to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, such as a romantic opportunity, financial boost, or a chance meeting with someone who contributes to your success. Whatever it is, it will require immediate action on your part and it will probably be a wild departure from your norm. You are bound to come up with innovative ideas that can be put into practice at a later time. However, a power struggle over a difference of opinion, the desire to travel, or an educational matter could have you squirming. Family members and friends could be part of the picture. Do your best to let things flow naturally or you’ll only serve to stress yourself out.

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

July 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July

Overview. Until the 22nd, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

From the 22nd, the Sun highlights your solar eighth house, and all that is deeply personal comes into focus. Intimate matters become especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more mundane level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now.

The Mercury retrograde cycle from the 4-28 affects your eighth house and mostly your seventh house of one-to-one partnerships. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do serious damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don’t over-react to what your partner has to say either. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers’ errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.

Jupiter goes direct on the 6th. For you, this suggests that matters pertaining to friendships, group associations, long-term goals, and intuition are beginning to show signs of moving forward after a period of stagnation. The first signs of resolution for these issues will be with you this month. You are likely to project more confidence through a happier, friendlier, more cheerful and relaxed demeanor.

Your needs and desires seem to be eclipsed by those of a partner this month. However, relationships with others require some attention, and playing a supportive role is your best bet. All is resolved in your favor by the last week of July–a time when personal finances also peak. Recognition–both personal and professional–is likely on the 2nd.

Saturn, your ruler, forms a challenging aspect with Pluto from the 1-6. During this period, you may feel thwarted in your efforts. Avoid turning to manipulative tactics to get what you want. You may be feeling undervalued around mid-month. The Full Moon in your sign suggests that you may have a little emotional “blow-up” around the 11th. This could be positive, as something has been brewing inside of you and you need to express it.

Some challenges with money can occur around the 4-6 and 21-22. However, by the end of the month, increases may come your way, particularly around the 30-31.

Love affairs should fare well this month. Excellent periods for attracting or augmenting love affairs occur on the 1-2, 9-10, and 26-31. Don’t hide yourself away in the last few days of the month, when pleasantly surprising magnetic energy is with you. Close personal relationships, including marriage or other committed partnerships, may require some smoothing over this month, particularly around the 11th.

Work and health matters may be tricky this month. Fortunately, you are very equipped to handle problems on the job. You might find yourself doing a whole lot of compromising and negotiating. Avoid scheduling either medical appointments or job interviews from the 4-28 if possible. If you can, save them for the 30-31.

Venus journeys through your work and health sector until the 18th. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 18th. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. 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, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! 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 relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections, and others are more receptive to your friendly overtures.

Mars, the planet of action, moves through your solar eighth house until the 22nd. This is a time when you are inclined to employ strategy rather than take action. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Mars enlivens your adventure and higher mind sector from the 22nd, shifting your energies from introspective to more action-oriented. You have the courage and determination to act on your convictions. It’s a fabulous time for promoting your ideas and beliefs, although coming on too strong could work against you. If you can’t travel, you’ll feel like doing so, or at least travel in your mind, simply because you have a great urge to expand your horizons in some manner. Energies thrown toward recreation, travel, or just cooking up great new ideas are well spent and serve to refresh and renew your vitality. Creative projects can flourish with enlarged focus and redoubled efforts that somehow don’t tire you out. Time flies when you’re having fun and leaves you with more vigor than when you began. Big, ambitious, adventurous ideas can come to you in a rush during this cycle, propelled by the urge to do something you’ve never done before.

The most rewarding period of the month is likely to be from the 22-31, when Mars harmonizes with your Sun . This is a time when your vital energy is flowing well. You are feeling especially vital and dynamic, and solving problems empowers you now. You feel pleasantly ambitious and effective, and you can rally others to action because of your own enthusiasm and can-do attitude. The first three weeks of the month are less dynamic. Recognize your need for others and tend to them. Save taking action for the last week of the month.

Highlights:

June 25 New Moon in Cancer in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

June 30-July 2 Venus trines Chiron and sextiles Saturn, and the Sun trines Jupiter. Romantic energy is strong, and good will reigns. This is a strong period for both relationships and finances. Healing energies are with us, and we tend to attract good things with our positive attitudes. For you, joint finances, investments, insurance and tax matters should go well. A confidence boost can come from increased convictions, or even dreams. This is an excellent period for attracting love. Reasonable speculation is also favored. With Mercury also in parallel to your ruling planet, you might want to take note of any ideas you come up with now.

July 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 3-5 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until the 28th–a cycle when rethinking things is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary,

as it is now, it’s especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or might need revision later.

July 4-5 With Mars opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, we could find ourselves spinning our wheels. We want more from our actions than simple, everyday results–we’re seeking inspiration, bliss, release, anything that makes us feel like we’re not locked into the mundane world. Watch for passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior, simply because it can be a challenge to move forward and grab what we want if we take a direct, simple route. If something looks too good to be true now, it may very well be. Financial issues may crop up, and it could be a face-off regarding what’s mine and what’s yours. Disappointments with family members, domestic concerns, or news you receive now could be part of the picture.

July 6-7 Freedom of movement and of thought are especially important to us right now. Venus squares Uranus and semi-squares Mercury, and the Sun trines Uranus. It’s a time when we can safely “expect the unexpected”, particularly when it comes to personal relationships. Watch for impulsive spending or fickle behavior in love. Flexibility is the key to success now.

July 9-10 Venus harmonizes with Neptune and Mercury and Uranus form a tense aspect. Romantic relationships have a touch of magic right now. We see the very best in people now, and this eases our interactions and takes the pressure off in personal relationships. This is a period of reading between the lines and thinking outside the box. This is an especially strong period for you with regards to love affairs, leisure activities, children, hobbies, career matters, and general attraction.

July 10-11 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 11 Full Moon in Capricorn in your solar first house. This Full Moon trines Uranus, adding insight, the ability to free ourselves from parts of our past that have been limiting us, and a feeling of truly moving ahead to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. “Hey, what about me?” is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You’re looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too “other-oriented” recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others’ toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now. You may also experience an epiphany of sorts–something is coming to a head, and it could be great news.

July 12-13 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 13-16 Intense energy is with us now with Venus opposite Pluto and sextile Mars, Mars trine Pluto, and Jupiter and Saturn involved. Romantic, creative, and sexual intensity is what these influences are all about. There can be a confrontation or drama in personal relationships that leads to greater closeness and understanding–even ecstasy. Interactions are complex and dynamic now, and our relationships have more verve than usual. We are more inclined to go after what we want. Some feelings of being blocked are also possible, which could propel us to try harder. Although you could be feeling undervalued right now, you are also in the position to either attract love or push a current love affair forward.

July 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 21-22 Hard aspects between Venus and Neptune and the Sun and Uranus make for an awkward, erratic, and perhaps disappointing couple of days. We could feel that our relationships are missing important elements, or we may face reality after engaging in self-deception. Surprises or changes in plans can throw us off center. For you, love affairs and career matters are the arena where this tense energy are likely to play out. We should feel re-energized by the 23rd, however, when both the Sun and Mars enter new signs.

July 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 27-29 Mercury is stationary direct. When Mercury is stationary,

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

June 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

June

Overview. Until the 21st, the Sun illuminates your work and health sector, placing emphasis on these life “departments”. You take pride in your work and in your daily routines, making this an excellent period for getting organized. It’s also a good time for upgrading efficiency and your skills. You may be recognized for your excellent work, but mainly you want the satisfaction of a job well done. You may also be called upon to attend to details of daily life.

The Sun highlights your solar seventh house from the 21st, and your one-to-one relationships come into focus. It’s a great time to balance your personal interests with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me” now. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. The need to compromise and share, and your desire to balance your life, are strong now. During this period, going solo is not instinctive. The best way to make use of this period is to acknowledge these needs rather than to push ahead on your own.

A year-long trend involves some hidden or karmic elements associated with your friendships. Confusion or deceptions could figure in your associations with friends or groups. This month, your eleventh and twelfth house rulers form a semi-square, and these themes are emphasized. Your ruler, Saturn, also forms a tense aspect with Pluto, ruler of your friendship sector and a tenant of your twelfth house, adding more fuel to the fire. Your ruler squares Jupiter through most of the second half of the month. You become acutely aware of the tension between what you want to do versus what you actually have time for and can reasonably accomplish. You may be tempted to overextend yourself, but this transit teaches you that you are happier with less rather than more. As well, issues from your past may re-appear, forcing you to face and, ideally, resolve them.

Until the 24th, Venus moves through your romance and pleasure sector–a most happy transit! Here, Venus accentuates recreation and pleasant relations with romantic partners, as well as the power to attract romance. Spontaneity is emphasized, making this a happy, creative period. Creative endeavors, games, and entertainment are especially pleasing during this cycle. This is a strong period for romantic attraction and personal magnetism. If you’re looking for love, the best way to find it during this period is to let your inner child come out to play. Venus enters your solar sixth on the 24th, and you should have plenty of opportunities to socialize on the job, or at least to create and enjoy a more harmonious working environment. An office romance or flirtation, or playing matchmaker at work, may be part of the picture. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony.

Uranus’ retrograde this month suggests that you are concerned about your own sincerity when it comes to the style in which you communicate. Formalities and small talk don’t satisfy right now, and people around you may find you a little hard to reach or to understand this month as a result. As well, your self-worth comes up for inspection. Just how you define it is something that you may be thinking about. Finances could demand some attention this month, and progress may be slow for the time being, as re-assessment of your resources is in order. Challenging days for finances occur on the 1-6, when impulsiveness may get the best of you, and the 25-29, when a number of configurations involving your money sector’s ruler and tenant make it a poor day for important financial decisions. The 9-12 is an excellent period for personal finances, however. Do what you can to take advantage of this positive energy.

Your work may involve counseling other people this month, or you could be partnering up on the job. Your work may also emphasize one-to-one associations or counseling, and you could be called upon to be especially creative. Being in the public eye can represent an opportunity for you to “perform” in some way. Tensions on the job could arise on the 1st, 5-6, 16, 21-22, and 26-29. The 26-30, however, can also be an especially productive period on the job. Excellent days for work-related and health-related activities occur on the 9th and 12th.

Love affairs may be especially sensual and steady with Venus, the ruler of your romance and pleasure sector, in Taurus most of the month. A lover could be especially playful and focused on having fun and getting attention. Creativity is also strong during this cycle. A partner could be withdrawn this month, or focused on spending private time with you. A strong period for attracting love occurs on the 10-11 and June 30-July 1. A power period for love occurs on the 21-26. Tensions with romantic partners could arise on the 6-7 and on the14-15, when miscommunication can cause problems. On the 4-5, you could be looking for serious intimacy, and a lover is more interested in having fun and living day by day. Overall, however, this is an excellent month for both attracting love and keeping romantic flames burning strongly.

The planet of action, Mars, moves through your intimacy sector from the 3rd. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit, particularly with the goddess of love in your romance and pleasure sector! Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply, for example. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Most of the month (the 3-28), the planet of communication moves through your partnership sector, and the drive for mutual understanding in your partnerships is strong. You are more willing to listen to others’ points of view now, and you are more diplomatic than usual. You tend to seek out ideas and counsel to balance and fill out your own understanding. However you could get caught in a verbal tennis match, playing tit for tat, and thus leave your heart and feelings out of the discussion. If you avoid playing mental games and focus instead on clear, honest communication, you’ll get the most from your interactions.

The best period for magnetizing what you want into your life is from the 1-7.

Highlights:

May 27 New Moon in Gemini in your solar sixth house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.

June 4-7 Some exciting yet unstable energy is with us during this period. Venus forms tense aspects with Saturn, Jupiter, Chiron, and Pluto, and we can experience a confusing mix of feelings on social and romantic levels. Overdoing it, under-doing it, and general see-sawing when it comes to relationships and finances are the theme. Further, the Sun forms tense aspects with Mars and Uranus, inviting us to take risks, but we may not be considering the consequences! It’s a less than ideal time to start a relationship or to make a significant purchase. For you, your ruler (Saturn) in a tense aspect with Venus brings issues surrounding your social and love life, personal finances, career, and romance to the forefront.

June 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

June 9-12 Mercury trines Jupiter and then Uranus, offering us breakthrough insights and downright brilliant ideas if we choose to listen to our intuition. The Sun also trines dreamy Neptune and Venus sextiles Uranus–the picture is very pretty indeed! Let loose, have some fun, and enjoy this smooth energy. For you, financial initiatives are especially favored.

June 11 Full Moon in Sagittarius in your solar twelfth house. This Full Moon involves Pluto and is supported by Neptune, intensifying issues illuminated by the Full Moon, but with the potential for acceptance and clearer understanding–even spiritual enlightenment. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You’ve been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It’s time to balance your life with some down timeotherwise, you simply don’t feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface.

June 12-13 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 14-15 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 13-15 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a tense aspect with the Sun, and you could feel unsupported by circumstances or people, particularly when it comes to intimate matters and joint finances. Your leadership abilities may be questioned during this period, and tensions with a close partner are possible.

June 18-19 Mars conjoins Saturn and squares Jupiter. We’re forced to do things by the book, but may not want to. This is not the time to take shortcuts–they won’t work. When we think in big terms, or if we have the urge to expand, we confront obstacles or face reality. Some re-structuring of our lives and of our business goals is now in order. We may be looking for new challenges, sometimes because we are forced to do so (because things are not going exactly as we had planned). We have a desire to grow and expand, but our attitude is tempered with some caution and feelings of restriction. It is best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether. Take steps to grow, but don’t overextend yourself at this time or you are bound to face frustrations. The delays we may face now are actually fortunate ones! Patience and endurance leads to accomplishment and slow but steady progress in business and practical matters. Because your ruler, Saturn, is involved, this could affect you quite personally. Increased energy and initiative is likely now. This would be an excellent time to quit a bad habit.

June 21-22 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

June 21-26 Your ruler, Saturn, is parallel Venus, bringing love, romance, and financial matters to the fore. This is a strong period for magnetizing what you want into your life, and a power period for attracting or enhancing love.

June 25-26 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now.

May 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

May

Overview. The Sun illuminates your romance and pleasure sector until the 21st, and spontaneous self-expression is easy. You want to have a little fun, and your creative impulses are especially strong. Find outlets for expressing your unique, playful personality during this period, as this is the ideal time to do so. You take great pride in what you do and what you create now. You are also more inclined to take small risks, as confidence is high. Emotional inspiration can be found now.

The Sun shines its significant light on your work and health sector from the 21st onward. Work, daily tasks and routines, and health regimens are in focus during this period. You are determined to improve your skills, health, and efficiency. It’s a great time to get organized. Little details demand your attention. It’s not the most outgoing time in your year, but it can be a good period for taking care of the details of daily existence and uncluttering your mind in the process!

Venus is in your home and family sector from the 3rd, and your domestic life can be a source of great pleasure, comfort, and enjoyment now. It’s a great time for beautifying the home through redecorating, landscaping, and the like. Intimate and comfortable
gatherings with family and close friends are favored. You could also find some time to entertain or work in your home. Any new romance started during this period is bound to be especially comfortable and cozy. Sharing your deepest feelings is easy. The goddess of love enters your romantic fifth house from the 29th–a playful, spontaneous, and loving period.

Your mind is on fun and pleasure when Mercury enters Taurus and your fifth house on the 5th. You are filled with especially creative ideas, and you could put this energy to work with writing, composing, and other such creative endeavors. Intellectual diversions attract. As well, you could bring more creativity into your work during this cycle. Mercury travels through your work and health sector from the 19th forward, and your mind turns to more mundane affairs–day-to-day details and organization that are essential to your sense of well-being. You can successfully find ways to be more efficient during this period, particularly with the Sun in the same house from the 21st. This is also an especially favorable period for getting organized on the job, although it is unlikely to be a time of great recognition.

The grand trine on May 4-9 falls in your relationship sectors, and advances can be made with friends and groups, and any matter that requires drawing upon your communication, negotiation, and compromising abilities. Because your financial and family sectors are involved, money-making ideas may be successfully launched now, and family issues could be successfully resolved.

A long-term trend with your finances involves making money through communications, transportation, and teaching. Finances are mostly strong this month. The 4-8 is an excellent period for launching new financial initiatives. The 11-12 also works well for personal finances. A surprise bonus or advance in business affairs could be part of the picture on the 20-21. A challenging time for finances is the 25-26. Work this month is especially creative and even fun. You require a fun atmosphere in order to produce. Recognition or a bonus could come your way on the 22nd.

Romance is cozy and comfortable this month. A partner may be especially inclined to want to spend quiet time at home. Good periods for attracting love occur on the 7th, when it’s especially easy for you to connect with a partner; the 11-12; the 20-21, when the lines of communication open with lovers or potential lovers; and the 25-26, when it’s easy to treat a crush as a good friend, thereby easing tension. Tensions in romantic relations can occur on the 22-24.

Mars moves through your relationship sector all month, and partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. There can be some tension as you try to balance your agenda with that of a significant other. Do your best not to compete with a partner–it will get you nowhere.

An especially favorable period of the month is the 5-10, when you are clear in your perceptions, and when people are listening and enjoying what you have to say. Venus trines your Sun in the last 3 days of the month, and your personal style is very much appreciated. It’s easy to spontaneously express your charm and playfulness. Overall, it’s a strong month for you. Saturn, your ruler, forms pleasing aspects to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, and it’s easy to find supportive, cooperative people around you.
Highlights:

April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

May 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 4-9 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now, with a grand trine involving action-oriented Mars, lucky Jupiter, and inventive Uranus. This is a time of “lucky breaks”, although we need to capitalize on opportunities in order to benefit from them. Our intuition is good, we have a feel for new things and ideas, and we can benefit from timely action. Begin a creative activity (or enjoy the fruits of a successful one), and listen to your intuition. As long as we aren’t foolhardy, this is a good time for speculation, self-promotion, and recognition. This grand trine affects your social houses, and personal relationships could benefit from renewed focus, commitment, and vitality. It’s an excellent time for revitalizing ties with friends and close partners. It’s also an excellent time for personal finances, spiritual endeavors, and family affairs.

May 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now.

You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

May 11-12 Venus sextiles Chiron; Mercury sextiles Uranus and opposes Jupiter. This is an excellent period for romantic and intimate relationships. Good news or illuminating conversations offer hope and ease your mind. Healing energy is with you now–you have the chance to make amends or to offer support. A confrontation with a friend or lover may be frustrating at first, but can lead to new insights.

May 13 Full Moon in Scorpio in your solar eleventh house. This Full Moon is supported by Mars and challenged by Neptune, cautioning us that we may be reading too much (or too little) into issues illuminated by the Full Moon. However, this can be a spiritually enlightening time. You’ve been focusing on what brings you pleasureyour hobbies, romantic activities, and so forth. Now you realize that the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) is an important element in your overall happiness. You’re looking for validation from friends and group activities now.

May 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

May 16-17 Awkward energy is with us now, and it’s best to lay low. Confusion about where we are headed, and awkward communications can put a damper on our spirits. Relax, reflect, and avoid confrontations.

May 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

May 20-21 Venus sextiles dreamy Neptune and contra-parallels exciting Uranus. Romantic energy is strong, but avoid getting into an unrealistic state of mind, as this will only serve to aggravate the tense period coming on May 22-24. This is a time when enlightenment can come in a flash. This is a good time to spend time to open up the lines of communication with a lover or with children. Finances are also strong now.

May 22-24 Venus squares Mars with Mercury intensifying the square. Venus square Mars is a time of romantic misadventures and war between the sexes. With Mercury involved as well, a tendency to say the wrong thing only aggravates the tension. Try not to fly off the handle, and avoid making impulsive decisions with love, partnership, and money.

May 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you!

April 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April

Overview. A solar eclipse at the end of March fell in your solar fourth house, and its effects reverberate throughout April (and beyond). The sequence of eclipses in Aries and Libra in the past while have alerted you to the fine balance between your public and private lives, as well as attention to career and to family. The fourth house rules our instinctual needs, the domestic scene, our needs for security, and our focus on family and home life as well as relationships with family. The tenth house rules our needs for status, our career and reputation, our worldly ambitions, and our drive for success. Striking a balance between these issues is the focus of this sequence of eclipses. It’s time to improve your family and home life. March’s eclipse is the final cosmic push for you to take charge of your private life. In the months ahead, your family and home are bound to capture much of your attention.

Mercury’s retrograde last month likely lead to misunderstandings with communications. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have had repercussions! Mess-ups on the job were frustrating. Mercury moving forward means that problems you may have had with such matters are lifting. Your judgment was compromised in March, but this becomes a thing of the past in April. Now is the time to resolve matters by talking things through. Applying reason and logic to problems, as long as it is done warmly, will do wonders now. In fact, you are expressing yourself with extra charm and humor this month.

Venus entering Pisces on the 5th places the goddess of love and money in your communications sector, and your sense of humor and charm are strong. You may enjoy more opportunities than usual to socialize (especially in your immediate environment and neighborhood) as well as to improve relations with friends. Any new relationships started now are bound to be based on mental rapport. Existing relationships take on a more chatty, lighthearted, and communicative tone.

Mars continues its journey through your solar sixth house until mid-month. 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 enters your partnership sector in the middle of the month. Under this influence, partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Be cautious around the 6th-9th, when Mars opposes Pluto. You could encounter some opposition, most likely involving work and services rendered.

Saturn in Leo turning direct this month is great news for you. While Saturn was retrograde for the last 4-1/2 months, you may have felt blocked, especially with regards to financial matters and with respect to your ability to express yourself freely. You may not have been feeling up to par when it came to health and vitality. These matters are not going to be moving forward quickly just yet, but you will begin to feel more on top of things now. It’s a good time to move forward with plans to structure your life. Take this time to structure your personal finances.

Highlights:

March 29 New Moon in Aries (Total Solar Eclipse) in your solar fourth house. This energy is with you until the next New Moon, and beyond (its effects can extend up to 6 months). Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

April 2-4 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now. Venus is parallel Chiron and sextile Pluto, and Mercury re-visits its trine to Jupiter. This is an excellent period for financial undertakings, love, and overall good humor. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a purchase, here it is. With your finance, career, and romance sectors involved, you could receive a boost (whether it’s a bonus or gift, or simply positive feedback) in any of these areas of life.

April 4-5 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor.

The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive. With the concurrent influence described directly above, the more positive expression of this period is likely. You are at your most graciousnaturally!

April 6-9 Mars opposes Pluto and Mercury forms a tense aspect with your ruler, Saturn. Conflicts are very possible now, and they likely revolve around work or services rendered, and seemingly come up out of nowhere! Avoid taking extreme measures to make things happen your way, and avoid people who might be doing same. Take a break if you can, and pass up on face-offs or battles of willit’s hard to win just now. Trying to get the upper hand is fruitless today, and you are likely to be misunderstood. Ignore any negative comments you might hear now.

April 11-12 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 13 Full Moon in Libra in your solar tenth house. This Full Moon is supported by both Neptune and Pluto, offering us creative revelations and solutions to issues illuminated by the Full Moon. You are suddenly in the limelighteveryone notices you now. It’s time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you’ve been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You’re called to perform, perhaps on a moment’s notice, and it’s best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence.

April 16-18 Venus conjuncts Uranus in Pisces, the Sun trines Pluto, and Mercury squares Mars. This is a high-energy, potentially productive period if we can avoid being too impulsive. There can be great excitement in love nowa feeling of re-birth, in fact. We could have the gumption to take a chance and speculate on a love that is intense and unpredictable, and we are more decisive than usual. For you, new beginnings in the romance and friendship department could feature. A surprising turn on the job could also leave you feeling motivated and renewed.

April 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

April 19-20 Your ruler, Saturn, trines Mercury. This is a good period for bringing order into your life. You come across as responsible and credible, and people may come to you for advice. You could also benefit from some solid and practical news.

April 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are all possible.

April 23-25 The Sun and Venus form tense aspects with Saturn (your ruler), and it’s best to avoid new financial undertakings, as they may prove to be “money pits” as time passes. There can be difficulties relating to others, and it’s hard to satisfy the ego. We feel blocked by circumstances or by others. It’s too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster. Gratitude isn’t forthcoming right now, so it’s best to wait it out rather than waste energy letting it get to you. Avoid any form of speculation and steer clear of new financial undertakings.

April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that last month’s New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

April 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

Take time to communicate effectively and directly in both spoken and written communications.

March 13-14 Venus and Chiron align right now, signaling a magical time for making a resolution to repair, heal, and improve relationships.

That may mean scrambling for some last minute details or information to make it under a deadline, but there’s real potential here. It’s also good psychic weather for putting the finishing touches on restoration projects, picking up that antique you’ve been chasing down, and clearing out the cobwebs that may have been settling on lesser-used items. You’ll have the courage to toss out those useless things you’ve been hoarding, and the burst of freedom will do you good. The theme: finish clearing the decks for action.

February 21-24 Your ruler, Saturn, forms tense aspects to both Mercury and the Sun right now, suggesting that you may be feeling somewhat challenged and down.

You have a tendency to think a lot about what you want to say.

January 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January

It’s all about you this month with the New Moon on your Sun at the end of December, setting the theme for most of January. Even though Saturn, your ruler, is retrograde and rather stressed this month, your energy levels increase and you feel quite ready to sink your teeth into something new. You are more personally magnetic and noticeable this month. With Venus retrograde through your solar first house, however, others are likely to misunderstand what you do and say, and misread your body language. Try to keep things status quo with regards to your love life. Don’t worry if a lover isn’t quite “getting” you for the time being. Things will change once Venus turns direct early February. From the 10th of the month onwards, Mars aligns with your ruling planet in declination, adding oomph and drive to your disposition, and an inconjunct from Uranus from the 17th to 21st throws you a few curve balls. For the most part, opportunities for romance and pleasure are high, and you generally don’t have the need to chase anything down–things tend to come to you this month.

Highlights:

December 31-January 1 New Moon in Capricorn, affects the month ahead. Make a resolution concerning commitment to your career goals on December 31st to January 1st. Think of ways to add more structure and organization to your life. This New Moon occurs in your solar first house. This New Moon placement is an especially powerful one, as it is right on your Sun. It’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

January 1-2 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a tense aspect to heavyweight Pluto. Although they may be tempting, avoid confrontations right now, as they will lead nowhere.

January 2-3 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 8 From 4:35 PM EST to midnight, it’s a good time for business affairs, or making small purchases. Do remember, however, that Venus is retrograde the entire month of January, so hold off, if you can, on major purchases, financial initiatives, or starting new love affairs.

January 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. You have an emotional need for recreation. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 12-13 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed, or their vitality is low. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 14 Full Moon in Cancer in your solar seventh house. This is a wonderful time to let your partner shine and just lay back and appreciate it all. That can mean enjoying the fruits of your mutual labors wrought by the relationship, or it can mean finally fully connecting with someone you’ve been developing something special with for a while. In either case, the rewards of connecting closely will take center stage, and you can lean on the familiarity you already have to support what comes next. This can apply equally well in business as in romance, as long as you’re dealing with an equal on equal ground. The essence is that you bring things to full bloom right now, so you can begin harvesting what you have sown. Some emotionalism with regards to your close relationships is possible now. Even if you are attached, you may feel a bit lonely.

January 19 From 6 AM to 2PM EST, a great time to get organized on the job, or to start a diet, physical activity, or health regime. Finish up odds and ends, attend to details, and then breathe a sigh of uncluttered relief.

January 20-21 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

January 23 Venus trine Mars today and affects your first and fifth solar houses. An opportunity to enhance your relationships, a new love interest, or a creative solution to relationship problems may appear.

January 27-28 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 28 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a stressful aspect to both the Sun and Mercury. A feeling of being blocked or opposed is very possible today.

January 29 New Moon in Aquarius in your second house. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

January 29-30 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

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

December 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview. All month, the Sun transits through your solar twelfth house–a period that is designed for rest, reflection, and tending to private matters. Projects or issues that have naturally run their course are now ended. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!

This is one of the most private, withdrawn periods of the year for you. While it’s not the best time to push forward aggressively with new ventures, it’s an excellent period for developing new plans and strategies. There could be a setback regarding support from others, financial or otherwise, or work matters around the 3-5, but you soon discover that it’s a blessing in disguise. By the end of the month, your time spent on reflection begins to pay off, and youre ready to tackle life with a new game plan.

In the first half of the month, enthusiastic energy and a brand new, exciting perspective is brought to your long-term goals. Inspiration and a renewed sense of purposefulness and belonging comes now. Friends or connections made through groups could be part of the picture. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation with a friend, or a new opportunity to lead a group.

Romantic and creative matters are quite strong for you in December, although in a private way until after the 19th. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1st, 6-8, 20th, and 26-27. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. The 6-8 is particularly spectacular for romantic and partnership matters–something taking place behind the scenes is active now. A past lover may resurface, or you could begin a relationship that tends to be quite private. You could find that you are seeing eye to eye with an existing partner, and singles could enjoy an opportunity to meet someone special. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 3-4, 12-13, 18-19, and 28-31. Of course, these would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example.

Venus spends some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector until the 19th. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a love of quiet and seclusion to peruse personal or secret study and meditation – probably of a spiritual nature. Personal and social contacts often are 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. All of that changes after the 19th, when Venus enters your first house.

Venus transits your solar first house from the 19th. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through your own self, by presenting an elegant, graceful, magnetic, happy, socially outgoing, attractive personality, with much joy for living. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing. So, while you are somewhat withdrawn on many levels, your desire to socialize or express romantic feelings is not compromised!

Mercury continues to move through your solar eleventh house until the 14th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the pursuit of truth, mainly through the mental companionship of friends. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mercury turns your attention to private matters from the 14th. Your mental and communicative energies are turned inward during this period. On a positive level, you may search for spiritual truth and mental enlightenment. Creative endeavors could flourish now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude, or even periods of seclusion, in order to get your thoughts together or to be productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. Its a good time to do research.

Mars moves through your eleventh house until the 20th, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Mars transits your privacy sector from the 20th, indicating that much of your energy could be channeled into private matters–a lot is going on behind the scenes, even though you are in demand in many areas of your life! This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing! Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts. This is a preparation period for a considerably more active and dynamic period when Mars transits your Sun beginning mid-January.

Overall, the best period of the month for you is the 19-27 when your natural charm is appreciated by others. Grab opportunities to advance your career, enjoy romance, improve your finances, or to boost your reputation around the 6-7, 16-17, and 25.

Highlights:

December 7-8 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. Inspiration and a renewed sense of purposefulness and belonging comes now. Friends or connections made through groups could be part of the picture. This newfound vigor can mean a very hectic schedule, an inspiring and revealing conversation with a friend, or a new opportunity to lead a group.

December 14-15 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

December 21-22 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

December 30-31 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

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

November 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. 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 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.

Jupiter entering fiery Sagittarius this month doesn’t yet place Jupiter in your twelfth house, but this shift is imminent. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. From January 2007 until February 2008, Jupiter will officially be transiting your solar twelfth house, benefiting activities carried out behind the scenes, quietly, alone, or in secret. More compassion and sensitivity enters your personality during this cycle. This position helps to allay self- destructive tendencies, deep-seated fears, and other deep-rooted problems, acting much like a guardian angel. Charitable and unselfish motivations bring benefits. New age studies increase your wisdom. This is an excellent time for any type of compassionate, mystical, or spiritual undertaking. Work that involves serving the physical, psychological, or spiritual needs of others can be rewarding. You are able to reconcile differences with those who may have been working secretly against you. Research can be especially productive. You may have psychic experiences or precognitive dreams. At any rate, your dreaming world is lighter, helpful, and more intuitive. Some people enter into a private romance during this cycle. In general, help seems to be there when you need it. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Venus plays in your solar eleventh house from the 1-25. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. 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.

Venus warms your privacy sector from the 25th. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don’t know might just be helping you right now, because what’s happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough. Venus comes out of “hiding” on the 25th, when your emotions will be on your sleeve. Before that, laying low is best in the love department.

Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar eleventh house from the 9th. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

As planets begin to pile up in your sector of hopes and wishes, this is an important month for the generation of new ideas. Acting upon them won’t come quite yet–reflection will be in order next month and will help inspire you further–but it’s an exciting month nonetheless for hoping, wishing, and enthusiasm for your future.

Highlights:

November 5-6 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others!

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

October 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview. All month, the Sun puts a spotlight on your tenth house–the most visible sector of the chart. This is the most ambitious period of the year for you. You are more visible and perhaps in demand. Your personal fulfillment now is reinforced most by accepting responsibility for others and for the job you do. At this time of year, your more serious, hard-working, and perhaps sober side comes out for others to see. For some, pessimism gets the upper hand. For most, it’s a satisfyingly goal-oriented and disciplined cycle. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight.

Venus transits your career and reputation sector from the 8th. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. Occasionally this is a time when a partnership is formed with someone who one meets through business affairs or who is success and status oriented.

Mercury transits your eleventh house from the 9th. You have an active mind and the ability to come up with unusual ideas during this cycle. If this energy is used well, you can harness the power of your mind to turn your wishes into actuality. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. Note, however, that when Mercury slows down and then retrogrades in the last week of the month, you could experience problems with communications in these areas of life.

Mars activates and energizes your tenth house all month long, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could easily find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let others interpret your enterprising nature as aggressiveness or insensitivity–there’s a fine line, and you of all signs are most likely to understand how to keep things balanced.

Highlights:

October 3-4 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind.

September 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview. All month, the Sun shines a spotlight on your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

Venus journeys through your solar eighth house until the 14th. During this cycle, your appeal lies in a sensual quality that colors you with a fascinating and even mysterious aura. In a quiet way, you can cause quite a stir! This is a time to take stock of your creative forces. You may have a specialized artistic talent that could provide a source for monetary gain, and this is a period when you could tap into it. Discover new ways to enhance and increase investment programs or add to your savings account. This cycle is sometimes associated with financial gain through your marriage or business partner, or any cooperative monetary venture involving others. You could receive gifts or social invitations for which your expenses are paid. A female may be a source of financial gain or drain in connection with mutual funds. If a romantic relationship were to begin now, it is likely to be quite intimate, intense, and private.

Venus moves through your adventure sector from the 14th. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Chatty Mercury is in your ninth until the 18th. The expansion of your mind and intellect through foreign travel, philosophy, higher education and other enlightening studies is likely now. Your mind is especially active evaluating new ideas, although your attention to details may be scant now. Public speaking, journalism, or teaching may feature. You have to be careful not to scatter your energy by engaging in more activities than you can possibly handle. Frequent phone calls or letters may be necessary to resolve issues of a legal nature, or in connection with overseas matters. You are anxious to share your personal philosophy and your opinions during this cycle.

Mercury moves through your solar tenth house from the 18th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional and worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing during this period. You might even be able to talk your way into a managerial post. Executive ability is with you now. You are bound to think and talk a lot about financial security and professional matters. Your thinking is more logical and precise than usual, with the ability to come straight to the point of any matter under discussion. Mental work or a good deal of short distance travels may be connected with your vocation right now.

Mars energizes your adventure sector until the 23rd. This is a period when you are especially enthusiastic about what you believe, but you may not always be successful in convincing others of your enterprising ideas, especially those who may regard your actions as hasty or somewhat premature. Your spirit of adventure and interest in travel may take you to far away places. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

Mars moves to your solar tenth house on the 23rd, bringing with it energy and verve to your career and public life. You “chafe at the bit” when bosses try to restrict your freedom of movement, speech, or actions. For this reason, your career interests may be shifting, seeking new and challenging career opportunities that offer more flexibility in self-expression and personal decisions. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

The most rewarding periods of the month overall are likely to be from the 1-12, when there is an easy flow of self-expression that makes you feel energetically supported by people and circumstances; and the 14-22, when your charm is effortless. The 23-30 may be particularly busy and active, perhaps stressful for those not used to such a flurry of activity.

Highlights:

September 3-4 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now. This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others. We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with a sibling, professor or classmate, lawyer, or neighbor–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be part of the picture, and could involve differences of opinion. Travel or education plans may be disrupted. Unexpected news may come now.

September 16-17 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 23-24 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August

Overview. All month, the Sun spotlights your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

Mercury picks up speed after a period of retrogradation in July. Problems involving misunderstandings with your partner, mess-ups on the job, and travel plans are resolved for the most part early this month, particularly after the 4th. You can become more confident about decision-making with regards to partnerships, job issues, higher education, and travel.

Venus warms your partnership sector until the 21st. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships–both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. 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, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! 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 relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 21st. During this cycle, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through harmonious sexual relationships, friendships, and business interests. You attract others like bees to honey now, and you favor a partner who is intelligent, with a somewhat mysterious flair about them. A financial boost is likely, or you may gain financially through your partner. Your social circle may include people who are interested in mysteries or those who are engaged in some form of psychological work. A deep personal connection and intimate exchange can be healing, replenishing, and soothing to your soul. This is a good time to work on resolving grievances, differences in values, or money problems in a close relationship. There are also apt to be favorable developments regarding shared assets, jointly owned property, borrowing money, or repaying loans to the satisfaction of all concerned. You are likely to get both the financial backing and the emotional support you need to succeed. On a more personal level, intimate relationships are intensified. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

While Mercury is in your relationship sector (until the 17th), you are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists. You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue. You carefully weigh the pros and cons, and are more willing than usual to listen to other people’s point of view. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, 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 give counsel to other people, or to smooth over differences. You know how to use the art of diplomacy and you can appreciate opposing viewpoints even if you don’t necessarily agree with them during this period.

Chatty Mercury is in your intimacy sector from the 17th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.

Mars energizes your adventure sector beginning on the 7th and through much of September. You are likely to exert your energy and initiative now through self-development, travel, exploration, sports, religion, philosophy or higher education, in order to gain a broad experience of life. You are very independent, enthusiastic, and curious during this cycle–and you could also be itching for some kind of adventure! Sometimes, this position points to troubles with the in-laws or intellectual arguments in general. You enjoy any form of intellectual challenge and should do well in gaining academic qualifications or succeeding at debates. During this cycle, you have a crusading spirit, as well as breadth of vision. Your instincts for promotion are also strong now.

The most rewarding periods of the month overall are the 7-23, when energy is easy to find–from within and without. You have a pleasing, “can-do” attitude during this period.

Highlights:

July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

August 6-9 The Sun aligns with Saturn in Leo, and Mars forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. We become aware of increased responsibilities in our careers, love affairs, or family life. Perhaps we recognize the dangers of stress and overwork. We have a chance to become more mature, goal-oriented, and responsible. This can be a good time to begin a cycle in which we build a business, especially a creative one, or re-commit to a long-term project. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Positive yet realistic attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. For you, circumstances are such that you become acutely aware of a maturation process with regards to how you handle issues of sharing and trust. You are required to come up with something solid now in terms of your level of commitment to a partner, as well as your own ability to trust others. Your joint finances may require fine-tuning, and could come up for inspection. Buckling down may be in order. Issues surrounding your ability to prove just how responsible you are may be part of the picture. Some advances can be made in your family affairs now. Your dreaming world and/or your spiritual health enjoy a healthy injection of adventure and passion.

August 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward.

July 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July

Overview. All month, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

The Mercury retrograde cycle from the 4-28 affects your seventh house of one-to-one partnerships. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do serious damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don’t over-react to what your partner has to say either. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers’ errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.

Saturn, your ruler, forms a challenging aspect with Pluto from the 1-6. During this period, you may feel thwarted in your efforts. Avoid turning to manipulative tactics to get what you want. Still, the 2nd of the month is a strong day for you, when others are recognizing your value and your worth. You may be feeling undervalued around mid-month. The Full Moon in your sign suggests that you may have a little emotional “blow-up” around the 11th. This could be positive, as something has been brewing inside of you and you need to express it. You might make an emotional declaration.

Some challenges with money can occur around the 4-6 and 21-22. However, by the end of the month, increases may come your way, particularly around the 30-31.

Venus journeys through your work and health sector from the 2-27. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 27th. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. 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, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! 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 relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections, and others are more receptive to your friendly overtures.

Mars, the planet of action, moves through your solar eighth house all month. This is a time when you are inclined to employ strategy rather than take action. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

This month, you may not be focusing much on your own needs and ambitions. Recognize your need for others and tend to them. Save taking important action for the first week of August if you can.

Highlights:

June 25 New Moon in Cancer just behind your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore.

July 3-5 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until the 28th–a cycle when rethinking things is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary,

July 4-5 With Mars opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, we could find ourselves spinning our wheels. We want more from our actions than simple, everyday results–we’re seeking inspiration, bliss, release, anything that makes us feel like we’re not locked into the mundane world. Watch for passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior, simply because it can be a challenge to move forward and grab what we want if we take a direct, simple route. If something looks too good to be true now, it may very well be. Financial issues may crop up, and it could be a face-off regarding what’s mine and what’s yours, or a battle of ownership. Disappointments with family members, domestic concerns, or news you receive now could be part of the picture.

July 23-24 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise.

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

June 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

June

Overview. All month long, the Sun illuminates your work and health sector, placing emphasis on these life “departments”. You take pride in your work and in your daily routines, making this an excellent period for getting organized. It’s also a good time for upgrading efficiency and your skills. You may be recognized for your excellent work, but mainly you want the satisfaction of a job well done. You may also be called upon to attend to details of daily life.

Venus moves through your romance and pleasure sector from the 7th onward–a most happy transit! Here, Venus accentuates recreation and pleasant relations with romantic partners, as well as the power to attract romance. Spontaneity is emphasized, making this a happy, creative period. Creative endeavors, games, and entertainment are especially pleasing during this cycle. This is a strong period for romantic attraction and personal magnetism. If you’re looking for love, the best way to find it during this period is to let your inner child come out to play.

Your work may involve counseling other people from the 9th, or you could be partnering up on the job. Your work may also emphasize one-to-one associations or counseling, and you could be called upon to be especially creative. Being in the public eye can represent an opportunity for you to “perform” in some way–and it’s a favorable period for doing so. Tensions on the job could arise on the 1st, 5-6, 16, 21-22, and 26-29. The 26-30, however, can also be an especially productive period on the job. Excellent days for work-related and health-related activities occur on the 9th and 12th. These are good dates to schedule check-ups and minor health procedures.

Love affairs may be especially sensual and steady with Venus, the ruler of your romance and pleasure sector, in Taurus most of the month. A lover could be especially playful and focused on having fun and getting attention from the 7th. Creativity is also strong during this cycle. A partner could be withdrawn this month, or focused on spending private time with you. A strong period for attracting love occurs on the 10-11 and June 30-July 1. A power period for love occurs on the 21-26. Tensions with romantic partners could arise on the 6-7 and on the14-15, when miscommunication can cause problems. On the 4-5, you could be looking for serious intimacy, and a lover is more interested in having fun and living day by day. Overall, however, this is an excellent month for both attracting love and keeping romantic flames burning strongly.

The planet of action, Mars, continues its journey through your partnership sector until the 20th. Partnership, marriage, or other significant relationships heat up. Will you lead, follow, or work out a way to cooperate that respects the different needs, desires, and intentions of both? This is the dilemma of your current cycle. There’s apt to be a lot of friction, of push and pull, as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s. If you are committed to working together, perhaps assigning separate but equally vital tasks to each partner will succeed. Avoid relationships where the need to dominate or win overrides the respect for each individual. From the 20th, Mars moves through your intimacy sector. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit, particularly with the goddess of love in your romance and pleasure sector at the same time! Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply, for example. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Until the 9th, Mercury enlivens your work and health sector, keeping things chatty and busy on the job. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. It’s a good time to find more efficient ways to solve problems. For the remainder of June, the planet of communication moves through your partnership sector, and the drive for mutual understanding in your partnerships is strong. You are more willing to listen to others’ points of view now, and you are more diplomatic than usual. You tend to seek out ideas and counsel to balance and fill out your own understanding. However you could get caught in a verbal tennis match, playing tit for tat, and thus leave your heart and feelings out of the discussion. If you avoid playing mental games and focus instead on clear, honest communication, you’ll get the most from your interactions.

The best period for magnetizing what you want into your life is from the 7-15.

Highlights:

May 27 New Moon in Gemini just behind your solar sixth house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.

June 6-7 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April

In the first two weeks of April, Venus continues her journey through your finance sector. Do your best to avoid giving in to extravagance, as you have a tendency to want luxury items in an attempt to boost your feeling of security. This is not a terrible thing–in fact, it’s a better time astrologically to make purchases–but some moderation will help. Steadiness and certainty in love relationships fills a deep need right now. The goddess of love and money moves to your communications sector mid-month, and your sense of humor and charm are strong. You may enjoy more opportunities than usual to socialize (especially in your immediate environment and neighborhood) as well as to improve relations with friends. Any new relationships started now are bound to be based on mental rapport. Existing relationships take on a more chatty, lighthearted, and communicative tone.

Mars moves through your solar sixth house all month. 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. Be cautious around the 6th-9th, when Mars opposes Pluto. You could encounter some opposition, and any conflict now likely revolves around work and services rendered.

Saturn, your ruler, turning direct this month is great news for you. While Saturn was retrograde for the last 4-1/2 months, you may have felt blocked, especially with regards to financial matters and with respect to your ability to express yourself freely. You may not have been feeling up to par when it came to health and vitality. These matters are not going to be moving forward quickly just yet, but you will begin to feel more on top of things now. It’s a good time to move forward with plans to structure your life. Take this time to structure your personal finances. Over the course of the next few months, you should be feeling more expressive and certainly less self-conscious.

Highlights:

April 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

April 12-13 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar fifth house affects you until the next New Moon. Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that last month’s New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

April 28-29 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

March

Overview. Saturn, your ruler, trines the Moon’s North Node this month, suggesting positive interactions with older or more experienced people. Benefits and recognition may come from elders or from others in positions of authority. Time alone for reflection fosters personal growth; in fact, it’s an excellent month for doing a bit of soul-searching. A voluntary sacrifice or renunciation may give you an inner sense of joy and satisfaction. Venus begins its journey through your solar second house this month, starting from the 17th, and you’re in the mood to shop! It’s a good time to enhance the attractiveness of your nest (and you!). Note, however, that Mercury is retrograde from the 2nd to the 25th, and it is a good idea to be aware that people might be misunderstanding your words, and that there could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers’ errors. Mars moving through your sector of work, routines, and health from the tenth suggests there could be some conflicts or flare-ups on the job, particularly around the 12-14 and the 26th. The competitiveness you feel, however, can be channeled constructivelyyou can pour your energy and enthusiasm into getting your work done, and you also have the opportunity to feel increased energy and enthusiasm for health and wellness routinesor simply to organize your life a little. With Venus and Mars moving out of your expressive and pleasure sectors, and into fixed houses, it’s time to get down to business.

Highlights:

March 4-5 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. You have an emotional need for recreation. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

March 12-14 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a tense aspect with Mercury, suggesting that you may be over-thinking things, and looking at your life situation with a “glass half empty” bias. With Mercury retrograde as well, you can experience some difficulty due to the inability of others to understand what you are trying to communicate, or others may just not feel the same way. Take time to communicate effectively and directly in both spoken and written communications.

March 16-17 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

March 23-24 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

February 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February

Overview: Venus changing direction in your sign early February means that relationships with romantic partners and co-workers (which may have reached a crisis level recently) begin to improve, perhaps dramatically. You are less likely to be misunderstood now. You can put the past behind you now, and it feels good to do so! Now you can thoroughly enjoy the planet of love and pleasure occupying your sign, especially in the first three weeks of the month. In fact, Mars in your fellow earth sign, Taurus, begins its journey through your sector of pleasure, romance, and children, and these areas of your life are where you are pouring your energy and enthusiasm. This is particularly so around the 5th and 6th of the month. You are concerned about your feelings of security and permanence, and you may have a stronger urge to buy things that help plump your nest. You’re at your magnetic best right now, so take advantage. It’s time to have some fun.

Highlights:

February 5-6 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you!

January 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January

All eyes are on you this month, and you are likely to feel more energy than usual. Two special opportunity periods occur for you this month–on the 13th, when you know exactly what to say and how to say it, and on the 23rd, when your powers of attraction are high. You’re gutsier than usual, and although Venus retrograde in your sign can lead to a few misunderstandings with others, you are feeling quite independent and focused. The New Moon mid-month highlights your close partnerships. You or a significant other may be feeling especially emotional just now, but you are communicating well and you have a unique opportunity to straighten things out. Now is a good time to prepare for next month’s financial focus. Avoid making unnecessary purchases. Instead, formulate a personal financial plan so that come February, you will be able to take advantage of the remarkable opportunities to increase your income that will present themselves. Mars is in trine to your Sun from your solar fifth, offering you energy, initiative, and plenty of opportunities for pleasure and recreation.

Highlights:

December 31-January 1 New Moon in Capricorn, affects the month ahead. Make a resolution concerning commitment to your career goals on December 31st to January 1st. Think of ways to add more structure and organization to your life. This New Moon occurs in your solar first house. This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

January 1-2 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a tense aspect to heavyweight Pluto. Although they may be tempting, avoid confrontations right now, as they will lead nowhere.

January 13 A power day for you. You are communicating with impact. You may make an important new contact or receive an invitation today.

January 13-14 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed, or their vitality is low. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

January 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

December 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December

Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun puts a spotlight on your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true. It’s a friendly transit, when connections can be made and networking pays off. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. From the 12th, some down time is in order. Before that, enjoy your lively calendar!

From the 12th, the Sun transits through your solar twelfth house–a period that is designed for rest, reflection, and tending to private matters. Projects or issues that have naturally run their course are now ended. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!

While the first weeks are quite busy, towards the end of the month is one of the most private, withdrawn periods of the year for you. While it’s not the best time to push forward aggressively with new ventures, it’s an excellent period for developing new plans and strategies. There could be a setback regarding support from others, financial or otherwise, or work matters around the 3-5, but you soon discover that it’s a blessing in disguise. Next month, your time spent on reflection begins to pay off, and youre ready to tackle life with a new game plan.

Your ruler, Saturn, forms some wonderfully supportive aspects this month–to Pluto, Venus, the Sun, and Mercury. These represent opportunity periods and occur on the 1-3, 5-7, 16-17, and 24. Appreciation for your talents, charm, and companionability arrive on the 5-7. It’s a strong period for attracting things (and people) into your life. Recognition, positive feedback, and good will comes your way on the 16-17, when others recognize your authority and competency, and you are simply glowing. A boost to your ego is bound to be part of the picture. The 24th is an opportunity period for all things to do with communication, news, learning, and speaking. An important conversation or good news may be part of the picture now. All month, your ruler is supported by Pluto, giving you an added measure of intensity, determination, and confidence. You are more able to strategize and plan, and you could find a lost item or uncover important information that furthers your goals. It can also suggest a sense of fulfillment or purposefulness through friends or group associations. Red flag periods include the 4th, when misunderstandings, forgetfulness, or communication mishaps could be annoying; and the 18-19 and 30, when you might feel unappreciated.

Romantic and creative matters are quite strong for you in December, although in a private way from the 3-27. In other words, much is going on behind the scenes when it comes to creating and romancing! Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur on the 1st, 6-8, 20th, and 26-27. These periods represent power days for personal magnetism, charisma, and creativity. The 6-8 is particularly spectacular for romantic and partnership matters–something taking place behind the scenes is active now. A past lover may resurface, or you could begin a relationship that tends to be quite private. You could find that you are seeing eye to eye with an existing partner, and singles could enjoy an opportunity to meet someone special. Issues that could be annoying or disconcerting concerning romantic matters are more likely to occur on the 3-4, 12-13, 18-19, and 28-31. Of course, these would be less than ideal days to go on a first date, for example.

Venus spends some time in “hibernation” in your privacy sector from the 3-27. 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. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through a love of quiet and seclusion to peruse personal or secret study and meditation – probably of a spiritual nature. Personal and social contacts often are 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. All of that changes after the 27th, when Venus enters your first house.

Venus transits your solar first house from the 27th. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through your own self, by presenting an elegant, graceful, magnetic, happy, socially outgoing, attractive personality, with much joy for living. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing. So, while you are somewhat withdrawn on many levels, your desire to socialize or express romantic feelings is not compromised!

Mercury stimulates your solar eleventh house from the 1-21. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the pursuit of truth, mainly through the mental companionship of friends during this period. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mercury turns your attention to private matters from the 21st. Your mental and communicative energies are turned inward during this period. On a positive level, you may search for spiritual truth and mental enlightenment. Creative endeavors could flourish now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude, or even periods of seclusion, in order to get your thoughts together or to be productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. Its a good time to do research.

Mars moves through your eleventh house all month, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Overall, the best periods of the month for you are the 27-31, when your natural charm is appreciated by others; and the 1-6, when you feel energetically supported by circumstances and by those around you. Grab opportunities to advance your career, enjoy romance, improve your finances, or to boost your reputation around the 6-7, 16-17, and 25.

Highlights:

December 3-4 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

December 4 Full Moon in Gemini in your solar fifth house. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your desires or new initiatives at the last New Moon on November 20th occurs now. You want to have fun, and the demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. It can be hard to find time for everything you want to do, but without creative self-expression (be it romantic or playful), you simply won’t feel complete. It’s time to do something self-expressive, fun, and creative. You may be required to complete a creative project at this time. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children.

December 9-12 Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter align, and the Sun sextiles Neptune. Tremendous enthusiasm, newfound vigor, and optimism characterize this period. We are inspired, hungry for new experiences, and eager to share our ideas with others. Inspiration and a renewed sense of purposefulness and belonging comes now. Friends or connections made through groups could be part of the picture.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

November 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

November

Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun continues to highlight 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.

From the 12th, the Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true. It’s a sociable sector of your chart, and that’s exactly how you are feeling–happy, lighthearted, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off. 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 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.

November promises a lively agenda. Around the 5th, romance blooms or a creative endeavor bears fruit. November brings with it some roadblocks, but nothing you cant handle. Although you are very much in demand, some of your most important endeavors meet with obstacles and snags. Youll have plenty of time to rework your plans in December, so do what you can to avoid stressing over details.

Uranus direct on the 19th gives us all a blast of electric energy. Moving forward in your second house, and as the ruler of your second, this suggests new energy is brought to your personal finances, possessions, earning power, and personal values. Stagnation in these areas begins to lift. A new insight about your personal finances could figure. Alternatively, an unexpected change in your financial position could be part of the picture in the weeks surrounding the 19th. Uranus always acts to disrupt the status quo, often bringing surprising or erratic events.

Jupiter entering Sagittarius this month doesn’t yet place Jupiter in your solar twelfth house, and thus its influence is very subtle for you for the time being. Jupiter changes sign approximately once a year, so this ingress is significant and represents a new shift of energy that will stay with us until December 2007. Jupiter does not officially move into your solar twelfth until November 2007. Until November 2007, Jupiter continues to transit your eleventh, benefiting networking, the formulation of broad, long-term goals, acquaintances, clubs, and organizations. You can rely on your friends for their help and support, and your circle of friends may increase during this fruitful transit. Others tend to value your advice and often turn to you for counsel. You could become more active with friends or in your community. There may be requests for you to lecture or teach groups of people about your interests. Group activities and associations may very well be avenues to fulfill long-term goals and dreams. Idealism and friendship are especially rewarding. You are especially hopeful and more inclined to believe that if you wish it, it will come into fruition. Income from career is likely to improve, and you may decide to ask for a raise or follow up on opportunities for higher paying employment. You may be invited, or elected, to join a group or to assume a position of leadership in an organization. A cherished hope could become a reality, and this is an excellent time to practice creative visualization. You may also find ways to carry out your altruistic desires to help those in need. The study of various New Age topics could begin during this period and expand your mind. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Venus plays in your solar eleventh house from the 9th. The areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through forming harmonious, warm social friendships – probably related to group activities within a club. 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, the planet of communication, continues to activate your solar eleventh house until the 6th, when it dips back into your solar tenth and stays there for the remainder of the month. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual. You speak with authority during this cycle, and you are more accountable than usual for what you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now. Use the power of words to influence authority figures. The only caution here is that Mercury is retrograde and then its storm until the 22nd, when communications can be challenging or awkward and decision-making foggy.

Mars activates and energizes your career sector until the 21st. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

Mars brings dynamic energy to your solar eleventh house from the 21st. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

As planets begin to pile up in your sector of hopes and wishes in the second half of the month, this is an important period for the generation of new ideas. Acting upon them won’t come quite yet–reflection will be in order next month and will help inspire you further–but it’s an exciting month nonetheless for hoping, wishing, and enthusiasm for your future. Overall, you feel particularly supported and energized from the 12-30.

Highlights:

October 31-November 1 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 5 Full Moon in Taurus in your solar fourth house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate and potentially creative, but disillusionments may be part of the picture. Some sort of fulfillment, culmination, or revelation regarding your heart’s desire at the last New Moon on October 22nd occurs now. The last two weeks have found you working hard towards your career goals and other public matters. The demands of your personal life are now paramount. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and energy spent on domestic matters is essential now. Balanced attention to your public and personal lives is what you need to focus on. It’s time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. A home, family, or property matter could grab your complete attention at this time.

November 6-7 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 10-11 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

October 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

October

Overview. Until the 13th, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit that started in the last week of September finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don’t fall into the trap of blind optimism, it’s a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.

From the 13th, the Sun puts a spotlight on your tenth house–the most visible sector of the chart. This is the most ambitious period of the year for you. You are more visible and perhaps in demand. Your personal fulfillment now is reinforced most by accepting responsibility for others and for the job you do. At this time of year, your more serious, hard-working, and perhaps sober side comes out for others to see. For some, pessimism gets the upper hand. For most, it’s a satisfyingly goal-oriented and disciplined cycle. Focus is on what you do, how you do it, and what you accomplish. Do whatever you can to adopt a serious approach to business because you are in the spotlight.

Venus transits your adventure sector until the 16th. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people, places, and may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period.

Venus transits your career and reputation sector from the 16th. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities and charm to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. Occasionally this is a time when a partnership is formed with someone who one meets through business affairs or who is success and status oriented.

Mercury continues to work its way through your tenth house until the 18th. You are likely thinking a lot about career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual. You speak with authority during this cycle, and you are more accountable than usual about what you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now. Use the power of words to influence authority figures.

Mercury transits your eleventh house from the 18th. You have an active mind and the ability to come up with unusual ideas during this cycle. If this energy is used well, you can harness the power of your mind to turn your wishes into actuality. Intuitive insights and original reasoning ability produce the occasional touch of genius – you often comprehend issues that others find quite incomprehensible during this cycle! Your objective and original thinking can be used for the scientific investigation of advanced metaphysical concepts and humanitarian ideals – or other profound issues that could lead humanity towards a better future. You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. Note, however, that when Mercury slows down and then retrogrades in the last week of the month, you could experience problems with communications in these areas of life.

Mars activates and energizes your tenth house from the 8th, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could easily find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don’t, however, let others interpret your enterprising nature as aggressiveness or insensitivity–there’s a fine line, and you of all signs are most likely to understand how to keep things balanced.

Highlights:

October 1-2 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 6-7 Full Moon in Aries in your solar third house. This Full Moon is emotionally passionate, self-centered, aggressive, and potentially creative. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.

October 14-15 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

September 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

September

Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic “junk” or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life’s secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year’s events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more mundane level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now.

From the 12th, the Sun shines a spotlight on your adventure sector. Your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with everyday affairs and important details.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions are in store. Something that has been “in hiding” or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.

Jupiter squares Neptune from the 20-29, affecting your first and tenth houses. We may be misled easily under this influence–by others, or by our own unrealistic expectations. An inability to focus on important and realistic details, some disorganization, and extravagance or exaggeration, is likely now. You may be challenged to defend your ideals. Giving too much of your time and/or resources to others may be an issue now, and could leave you feeling discouraged if others are not appreciating your efforts. This may play out with co-workers, a boss, or a business associate. Be careful that you are not deceived. There could be a bit of back-stabbing going on, or something that is hidden is revealed and that gets you down. As well, avoid financial speculation during this period.

Venus journeys through your solar eighth house until the 22nd. During this cycle, your appeal lies in a sensual quality that colors you with a fascinating and even mysterious aura. In a quiet way, you can cause quite a stir! This is a time to take stock of your creative forces. You may have a specialized artistic talent that could provide a source for monetary gain, and this is a period when you could tap into it. Discover new ways to enhance and increase investment programs or add to your savings account. This cycle is sometimes associated with financial gain through your marriage or business partner, or any cooperative monetary venture involving others. You could receive gifts or social invitations for which your expenses are paid. A female may be a source of financial gain or drain in connection with mutual funds. If a romantic relationship were to begin now, it is likely to be quite intimate, intense, and private.

Venus moves through your adventure sector from the 22nd. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Chatty Mercury is in your solar eighth house until the 7th. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.

Mercury moves through your solar ninth house from the 7-25. The expansion of your mind and intellect through foreign travel, philosophy, higher education and other enlightening studies is likely now. Your mind is especially active evaluating new ideas, although your attention to details may be scant now. Public speaking, journalism, or teaching may feature. You have to be careful not to scatter your energy by engaging in more activities than you can possibly handle. Frequent phone calls or letters may be necessary to resolve issues of a legal nature, or in connection with overseas matters. You are anxious to share your personal philosophy and your opinions during this cycle.

Mercury moves through your solar tenth house from the 25th and into October. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to professional and worldly ambitions where knowledge and education are pursued in order to enhance career prospects or social standing during this period. You might even be able to talk your way into a managerial post. Executive ability is with you now. You are bound to think and talk a lot about financial security and professional matters. Your thinking is more logical and precise than usual, with the ability to come straight to the point of any matter under discussion. Mental work or a good deal of short distance travels may be connected with your vocation right now.

Mars energizes your adventure sector all month. This is a period when you are especially enthusiastic about what you believe, but you may not always be successful in convincing others of your enterprising ideas, especially those who may regard your actions as hasty or somewhat premature. Your spirit of adventure and interest in travel may take you to far away places. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

The most rewarding periods of the month overall are likely to be from the 12-23, when there is an easy flow of self-expression that makes you feel energetically supported by people and circumstances; and the 22-30, when your charm is effortless.

Highlights:

September 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 6-7 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 7 Full Moon in Pisces in your solar second house. This is a potent Full Moon–a Lunar Eclipse–that can affect us for months after it occurs. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it’s time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy–the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power–what’s yours and what’s mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

September 12-13 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 15-17 Mercury-Mars conjunction is semi-square Saturn, the Sun squares Pluto, and Venus opposes Uranus. This is very potent, and potentially disruptive, energy! Although energy is brought to our communications, especially regarding personal relationships, we must be conscious of the tendency to be overly critical, sarcastic, or forceful with what we say and how we say it. We are likely to come to a very clear, definite decision at this time and to let others know exactly what we want, and we have no qualms about stirring up controversy in defense of our ideas or plans! Our comments may be particularly loaded, and discussions could easily escalate into arguments. Sudden or impulsive attractions to people and to material items that later prove to be unappealing occur now. This is not a good time to start a new relationship nor for any significant financial undertaking. We may not see eye to eye with our loved ones, and we might be taken off guard by unexpected events. It’s wise to hold off on decision-making with regards to finances and relationships. However, if we can separate rebellion from a sincere need for change, we might open ourselves up to new ways of dealing with others. We might find ourselves particularly impatient with rules. You may experience a powerful and possibly frustrating conversation or communication with a sibling, professor or classmate, lawyer, or neighbor–watch for harsh words. Power plays may be part of the picture, and could involve differences of opinion. Travel or education plans may be disrupted. Unexpected news may come now.

September 18-19 Venus sextiles Jupiter. We are big-hearted and our feelings are expansive under this influence. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. We easily find meaning in our social connections. We are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is a favorable influence for winning people’s trust, healthy speculation, advertising, publishing, finances, and travel. For you, this is a strong period for receiving support from others, shared finances, career and business matters, and romance. This is also a good time for clearing up private matters. Something from the past may come up now that brings rewards.

September 24-25 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

August 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

August

Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun continues its journey through your partnership sector. This is the time of year when you begin to turn away from personal experiences by responding to the world around you in a more spiritual and social manner. You are able to love and care for yourself and others. You begin to express your power potential through close personal relationships. During this cycle, you are especially good at public relations, gaining popularity, and dealing with superiors. Interpersonal relationships demand a great deal of your energies at this time. You may even find your real life-purpose by associating with others in partnership or social intercourse. If there are confrontations now, they likely mirror something within yourself that you couldn’t perceive any other way, except through interaction with others. This position of the Sun will draw out the very best of your character, to ensure that you fulfill your personal obligations. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

From the 12th, the Sun spotlights your intimacy sector. With the considerable energy of the Sun in your solar eighth house, much of your energy will be applied to deeply personal and transformative matters. The use of power is highlighted in some way during this cycle. Will-power, strategy, and financial ability are accentuated now. Something may be lost, so that something else is gained. This can be a time for getting down to business and of stripping away and discarding nonessentials. You can separate the wheat from the chaff, concentrating on important things. The Sun is energizing and spotlighting all that comes under the reign of the eighth house: transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others’ money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

This month, Saturn opposes Neptune across your first and seventh house axis. This tricky opposition is activated by the Full Moon on the 9th, by Mercury on the 20-21, and by Venus on the 26-27. You experience a clash between reality and your ideals and dreams, particularly with regards to your close personal relationships, marriage, or partnerships, as well as your own sense of independence. You may become very demanding and critical of others, particularly close partners (business or personal) and siblings–or, more likely, they are demanding of you. Painful memories may surface that need to be dealt with, and fears and insecurities may not be based on realistic expectations. Since you set your goals for success far out of reach these days, you are likely to “fail” (at least in your eyes) during this time. It is difficult for you to separate fact from fiction, and you may feel that you are going through a “reality shift.” Fears and anxieties may be overwhelming at times, but remember that things are certainly not as bad as they seem. There can be a feeling of being drained by the demands (or even the lack of demands) of others, or frustrated because your partner wants something concrete and secure, and you are not clear in terms of what you want. If you don’t have a partner, there may be a feeling of being alone in the world, compounded by the idea that where you are headed, or whether you are able to go it alone, is elusive or confusing. This feeling of being drained is experienced by all, but for you, your personal courage, independence, and couplings are the likely arenas where this influence will play out. Others may be draining your time and energy or your partner could be experiencing problems getting a commitment or strong sense of security from you. This can also be an important month as well for your education, learning, and communications, also coming under the rule of Saturn and Neptune. Burdens, responsibilities, separations, or the need to mature quickly are things you are dealing with now in these life departments. The best way to handle this is to develop a workable plan for tending to your needs for financial security. Maturation is in order, and if you can think in terms of “building” slowly but surely, you will feel more grounded and realistic.

Venus warms your partnership sector from the 4-29. To a very marked degree, your general well-being and emotional health depend on sound and meaningful relationships–both social and romantic during this cycle. Financial prosperity or social success may come through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. Set aside some private time when no one else can get in the way of the feelings you want to share. 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, and the sweeter your attentions, the more delicious your rewards will be! 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 relationships. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

While Mercury is in your relationship sector (until the 22nd), you are attracted to people who you feel are interested in life and who are good conversationalists. You feel comfortable relating with those you have a past history with. Your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue. You carefully weigh the pros and cons, and are more willing than usual to listen to other people’s point of view. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, 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 give counsel to other people, or to smooth over differences. You know how to use the art of diplomacy and you can appreciate opposing viewpoints even if you don’t necessarily agree with them during this period.

Chatty Mercury is in your intimacy sector from the 22nd. Your mental and communicative abilities will largely be applied to the growth and development of the mind. Much of your knowledge may be gained through intuitive means rather than the study of books at this time. There is an aptitude for business and other financial dealings. Your mental disposition is ideally suited to work of an investigative nature, research, psychotherapy, psychiatry, or detective work. Focus the light of understanding and honest communication on emotionally-charged topics such as sexuality and intimacy, feelings about the power dynamics in your partnerships, and money you share with significant others. You can have a more objective and fair view of such things now, and could clarify any long-standing issues related to any of this. On a practical level, it is the time to handle joint finances, material assets or property you hold in common with another, and matters pertaining to inheritances, taxes, or commercial interests.

Until the 23rd, Mars energizes your intimacy sector. During this Mars cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into the quest for personal success, self-knowledge and emotional intensity. Your energy is channeled through powerful, deep-seated but easily-aroused emotions and a powerful sex-drive. You may display a deeper interest in finance, big business and a keen, positive attitude to investment, helping to ensure success in these matters. You possess an intuitive sense that is well tuned when it comes to assessing prospective partners and financial opportunities. As well, you instinctively employ strategy when it comes to going after what you want, instead of rushing head-on at your target! Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible.

Mars energizes your adventure sector from the 23rd and into September. You are likely to exert your energy and initiative now through self-development, travel, exploration, sports, religion, philosophy or higher education, in order to gain a broad experience of life. You are very independent, enthusiastic, and curious during this cycle–and you could also be itching for some kind of adventure! Sometimes, this position points to troubles with the in-laws or intellectual arguments in general. You enjoy any form of intellectual challenge and should do well in gaining academic qualifications or succeeding at debates. During this cycle, you have a crusading spirit, as well as breadth of vision. Your instincts for promotion are also strong now.

The most rewarding period of the month overall is the 23-31, when energy is easy to find–from within and without. You have a pleasing, “can-do” attitude during this period.

Highlights:

July 31-August 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 6-9 The Sun aligns with Saturn in Leo, and Mars forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter. We become aware of increased responsibilities in our careers, love affairs, or family life. Perhaps we recognize the dangers of stress and overwork. We have a chance to become more mature, goal-oriented, and responsible. This can be a good time to begin a cycle in which we build a business, especially a creative one, or re-commit to a long-term project. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Positive yet realistic attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. For you, circumstances are such that you become acutely aware of a maturation process with regards to how you handle issues of sharing and trust, as well as your close partnerships and dealings with others on a one-to-one level. You are required to come up with something solid now in terms of your level of commitment to a partner, as well as your own ability to trust others. You may be required to call upon your more responsible side in order to deal with a partner. Your diplomacy skills may require fine-tuning, and could come up for inspection. Issues surrounding your ability to prove just how responsible you are may be part of the picture. Some advances can be made in your family affairs now. Your dreaming world and/or your spiritual health enjoy a healthy injection of adventure and passion.

August 9 Full Moon in Aquarius in your solar first house. This Full Moon highlights a Saturn-Neptune opposition, bringing into our awareness a clash between our ideals and reality. Challenges in your personal life and close partnerships may come to light, and you may be feeling drained by the demands of others in conflict with your own needs for autonomy and freedom. Striking a balance is in order, but getting to that medium ground may be a bit of a struggle. “Hey, what about me?” is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You’re looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too “other-oriented” recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others’ toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is “tested” right now.

August 9-13 Uranus is in hard aspect to Mercury, Venus, and Mars, while the Sun opposes Neptune. Infatuations are more likely now–with people, things, and ideas. The desire for something new and exotic–something that breaks the routine–is strong during this period. Unusual attractions (to people and things) can have us acting on a whim. We may deal with freedom versus closeness issues in our relationships. We have a tendency to take risks, to feel restless, and to act on sudden impulses without considering consequences. We assert our wills and individuality powerfully, and we are willing to fight for freedom. There may be changes in work schedules, or life’s circumstances could challenge us in such a way that we need to change our goals or actions. Some disappointments or disillusionments are also possible now. A lover or child may be hell-bent on protecting his or her freedom or displaying erratic behavior. Clashes between the demands of your intimate life and attention to your own affairs could surface. Disappointments with finances are possible. Avoid confrontations with others over finances, shared resources, or intimated matters; and also take care that what you write or say doesn’t cause controversy or backlash.

August 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 20-21 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 28-29 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

July 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

July

Overview. Until the 12th, the Sun puts a spotlight on your work and health sector. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods. You are more aware than usual of the necessity of hierarchies, and you make sure that every wheel in the mechanism functions. 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. Your ego is tied up in the work you do during this cycle, so focus on getting the job done right. You are interested in improving the quality of the service you provide and upgrading efficiency or your skills. You may be recognized for your excellent work, but mainly you want the satisfaction of a job well done. You also have to attend to little niggling details. If your regular routine doesn’t provide you satisfaction now, you need to look at where you can make improvements.

From the 12th, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. You seem to need a partner or good friend with whom you can bounce ideas off. A partner is a catalyst for you to discover and develop your own self, and to realize your own potential. During this time, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with what would be best for a significant other. The emphasis is on “us” rather than “me”. You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they also are drawing upon you a great deal. It’s important to give others credit and recognition, and to attempt to harmonize and include others rather than to go solo for the time being.

Jupiter goes direct on the 6th. For you, this suggests that matters pertaining to career, long-term goals, and intuition are beginning to show signs of moving forward after a period of stagnation. The first signs of resolution for these issues will be with you this month. You are likely to project more confidence through a more competent, intuitive, and faithful demeanor.

Your needs and desires seem to be eclipsed by those of a partner this month, particularly from the 12th. However, relationships with others require some attention, and playing a supportive role is your best bet. Saturn, your ruler, forms a challenging aspect with Pluto from the 1-6. During this period, you may feel thwarted in your efforts. Avoid turning to manipulative tactics to get what you want. Still, the 2nd of the month is a strong day for you, when others are recognizing your value and your worth. You may be feeling undervalued around mid-month. The Full Moon near your Sun suggests that you may have a little emotional “blow-up” around the 11th. This could be positive, as something has been brewing inside of you and you need to express it. You might make an emotional declaration.

Some challenges with money can occur around the 4-6 and 21-22. However, by the end of the month, increases may come your way, particularly around the 30-31. Love affairs should fare well this month. Excellent periods for attracting or augmenting love affairs occur on the 1-2, 9-10, and 26-31. Don’t hide yourself away in the last few days of the month, when pleasantly surprising magnetic energy is with you. Close personal relationships, including marriage or other committed partnerships, may require some smoothing over this month, particularly around the 11th.

Venus continues to move through your pleasure sector until the 10th. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others.

Venus journeys through your work and health sector from the 10th. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You’re most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mars, the planet of action, moves through your solar eighth house from the 6th. This is a time when you are inclined to employ strategy rather than take action. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

This month is more about other people in your life than it is about pursuing your own goals and ambitions. Recognize your need for creating harmony in your daily routines, working life, and close personal relationships rather than pushing forward with personal pursuits and you will be much happier.

Highlights:

June 25 New Moon in Cancer in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful.

July 3-5 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until the 28th–a cycle when rethinking things is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary,

July 4-5 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

July 4-5 With Mars opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, we could find ourselves spinning our wheels. We want more from our actions than simple, everyday results–we’re seeking inspiration, bliss, release, anything that makes us feel like we’re not locked into the mundane world. Watch for passive-aggressive and manipulative behavior, simply because it can be a challenge to move forward and grab what we want if we take a direct, simple route. If something looks too good to be true now, it may very well be. Financial issues may crop up, and it could be a face-off regarding what’s mine and what’s yours, or a battle of ownership. Disappointments with family members, domestic concerns, or news you receive now could be part of the picture.

July 11-12 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

July 13-14 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

July 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

July 24-25 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

July 25 New Moon in Leo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon.

N egotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

June 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

June

Overview. Until the 11th, the Sun brings to light your romantic, creative, and pleasurable urges. Play, self-expression, and taking risks to bring out your “inner child” is the focus during this period. Your creative impulses are bright and strong and you need outlets in which to let them shine. Solo efforts are preferable to collaborative ones, unless you are allowed to direct or lead. You take pride in your creations. From the 11th, the Sun illuminates your work and health sector, representing a shift in emphasis to these life “departments”. You take pride in your work and in your daily routines, making this an excellent period for getting organized. It’s also a good time for upgrading efficiency and your skills. You may be recognized for your excellent work, but mainly you want the satisfaction of a job well done. You may also be called upon to attend to details of daily life.

This month, some hidden or karmic elements associated with your friendships may surface. Confusion or deceptions could figure in your associations with friends or groups. Your ruler, Saturn, squares Jupiter through most of the second half of the month. You become acutely aware of the tension between what you want to do versus what you actually have time for and can reasonably accomplish. You may be tempted to overextend yourself, but this transit teaches you that you are happier with less rather than more. As well, issues from your past may re-appear, forcing you to face and, ideally, resolve them.

Venus moves through your home and family sector until the 15th, and your home and family can be the source of great comfort and enjoyment. Efforts to enhance your home, such as through decorating or landscaping, are favored. Intimate and happy gatherings with family and close friends are favored and domestic relationships in general are easier and friendlier. This would be an ideal time for a family reunion, for example. Venus moves through your romance and pleasure sector from the 15th onward–a most happy transit! Here, Venus accentuates recreation and pleasant relations with romantic partners, as well as the power to attract romance. Spontaneity is emphasized, making this a happy, creative period. Creative endeavors, games, and entertainment are especially pleasing during this cycle. This is a strong period for romantic attraction and personal magnetism. If you’re looking for love, the best way to find it during this period is to let your inner child come out to play.

Uranus’ retrograde this month suggests that your self-worth comes up for inspection. Just how you define it, as well as your attitude towards your possessions, are things that you may be thinking about. Finances could demand some attention this month, and progress may be slow for the time being, as re-assessment of your resources is in order. Challenging days for finances occur on the 1-6, when impulsiveness may get the best of you, and the 25-29, when decision making regarding important financial initiatives should be avoided. The 9-12 is an excellent period for personal finances, however. Do what you can to take advantage of this positive energy.

Work is especially service-oriented in the first two weeks of June. You may not get a whole lot of recognition but you could derive satisfaction from being helpful.

Your work may involve counseling other people from the 16th, or you could be partnering up on the job. Your work emphasizes one-to-one associations, negotiations, and diplomacy. Being in the public eye can represent an opportunity for you to “perform” in some way–and it’s a favorable period for doing so from mid-month. Tensions on the job could arise on the 1st, 5-6, 16, 21-22, and 26-29. The 26-30, however, can also be an especially productive period on the job. Excellent days for work-related and health-related activities occur on the 9th and 12th. These are good dates to schedule check-ups and minor health procedures.

Love affairs may be especially sensual and steady with Venus, the ruler of your romance and pleasure sector, in Taurus most of the month. In the first two weeks of June, a lover could prefer to spend quality time at home, but by mid-month, becomes especially playful and focused on having fun and getting attention. Creativity is also strong during this cycle. A strong period for attracting love occurs on the 10-11 and June 30-July 1. A power period for love occurs on the 21-26. Tensions with romantic partners could arise on the 4-7, and on the 14-15, when miscommunication can cause problems. Overall, however, this is a strong month for both attracting love and keeping romantic flames burning strongly, particularly from the 15th to 24th.

The planet of action, Mars, continues its journey through your partnership sector all month. Partnership, marriage, or other significant relationships heat up. Will you lead, follow, or work out a way to cooperate that respects the different needs, desires, and intentions of both? This is the dilemma of your current cycle. There’s apt to be a lot of friction, of push and pull, as you strive to balance your style and agenda with another’s. If you are committed to working together, perhaps assigning separate but equally vital tasks to each partner will succeed. Avoid relationships where the need to dominate or win overrides the respect for each individual. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle.

Until the 16th, Mercury enlivens your work and health sector, keeping things chatty and busy on the job. The pace of your work environment is quickened, with lots of ideas and new information coming in. It’s a good time to find more efficient ways to solve problems. For the remainder of June, the planet of communication moves through your partnership sector, and the drive for mutual understanding in your partnerships is strong. You are more willing to listen to others’ points of view now, and you are more diplomatic than usual. You tend to seek out ideas and counsel to balance and fill out your own understanding. However you could get caught in a verbal tennis match, playing tit for tat, and thus leave your heart and feelings out of the discussion. If you avoid playing mental games and focus instead on clear, honest communication, you’ll get the most from your interactions.

The best period in June for magnetizing what you want into your life is from the 15-24.

Highlights:

May 27 New Moon in Gemini in your solar fifth house affects you for approximately 4 weeks (until the next New Moon). Creative self-expression comes under the realm of the fifth house, and a New Moon occurring here sparks the creative juices. Romantic inclinations are also highlighted, as are any kind of celebratory, playful, and just-for-fun endeavors. You will be especially aware of your need for approval and feedback from others, deriving pleasure from the ways your own creativity impact the world around you. This can be a passionate time for you, and a time when you might feel more bold than usual. If you are feeling good about yourself, and especially if you have taken advantage of the time for re-building of confidence that the New Moon in the fourth house brought, you will fairly radiate during this expressive period.

June 7-8 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

June 13-14 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

June 16-17 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

June 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

May 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

May

Overview. Until the 10th, the Sun illuminates your sector of home and family. All of the inner foundations that make you feel secure and safe are in focus: family and roots, your home, and your nearest and dearest. This is the best time of year to get your bearings and to nourish your sense of safety. This way, you can feel at peace because you have somewhere to retreat or return to that makes you feel good. Spending time with family, organizing your home and domestic routines, and other such activities are favored now.

From the 10th, the Sun moves to spotlight your romance and pleasure sector for the remainder of the month, making spontaneous self-expression easy. You want to have a little fun, and your creative impulses are especially strong. Find outlets for expressing your unique, playful personality during this period, as this is the ideal time to do so. You take great pride in what you do and what you create now. You are also more inclined to take small risks, as confidence is high. Emotional inspiration can be found now. Next month you can deal with niggling little details. For now, you have more creative activities on the agenda!

Venus journeys through your communications sector until the 20th, and friendly relations with people you meet on a casual basis is natural. It’s easy during this period to make lighthearted conversation, to enjoy exchanging pleasantries, and to make friendly contact with others. If a new romance were to begin during this cycle, it would likely be quite casual and perhaps largely based on intellectual rapport. Venus is in your home and family sector from the 20th, and your domestic life can be a source of great pleasure, comfort, and enjoyment now. It’s a great time for beautifying the home through redecorating, landscaping, and the like. Intimate and comfortable gatherings with family and close friends are favored. You could also find some time to entertain or work in your home. Any new romance started during this period is bound to be especially comfortable and cozy. Sharing your deepest feelings is easy during this cycle.

Domestic and personal matters occupy your thoughts until the 15th. Your home life is rather busy during this cycle, whether it’s due to increased mental activity, lively conversations and discussions, or entertaining visitors. It’s a good time to get an objective perspective on your domestic affairs and family relationships. As well, you could be doing more work from home than usual. After the 15th, your mind is on fun and pleasure with Mercury moving through your fifth house until the 29th. You are filled with especially creative ideas, and you could put this energy to work with writing, composing, and other such creative endeavors. Intellectual diversions attract. As well, you could bring more creativity into your work during this cycle. Mercury travels through your work and health sector from the 29th forward, and your mind turns to more mundane affairs–day-to-day details and organization that are essential to your sense of well-being. You can successfully find ways to be more efficient during this period. This is also an especially favorable period for getting organized on the job, although it is unlikely to be a time of great recognition.

The grand trine on May 4-9 falls in your material sectors, and advances can be made with personal finances, your career, and any matter that requires drawing upon your job skills and material resources. Because your financial and family sectors are involved, money-making ideas may be successfully launched now, and family issues could be successfully resolved.

Romance is lively, if a little impersonal, this month. A partner may be especially inclined to want to discuss things over with you. Good periods for attracting love occur on the 7th, when it’s especially easy for you to connect with a partner; the 11-12; the 20-21, when the lines of communication open with lovers or potential lovers; and the 25-26, when it’s easy to treat a crush as a good friend, thereby easing tension. Tensions in romantic relations can occur on the 22-24.

Mars moves through your work and health sector until the 18th, when it opposes your Sun and enters your relationship sector. Before the 18th, you have increased energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this cycle. 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. After the 18th, partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or adversaries may be challenging. Use this energy to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. There can be some tension as you try to balance your agenda with that of a significant other. Do your best not to compete with a partner–it will get you nowhere.

An especially favorable period of the month is the 10-21, when you are clear in your perceptions, and when people are listening and enjoying what you have to say. As well, you feel energetically supported and your offerings to the world are welcomed. Saturn, your ruler, forms pleasing aspects to the Sun, Mercury, and Venus, and it’s easy to find supportive, cooperative people around you. Joint finances generally flow well, work is mostly smooth sailing, and travel is favored.
Highlights:

April 27 New Moon in Taurus in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it’s an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.

May 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

May 4-9 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now, with a grand trine involving action-oriented Mars, lucky Jupiter, and inventive Uranus. This is a time of “lucky breaks”, although we need to capitalize on opportunities in order to benefit from them. Our intuition is good, we have a feel for new things and ideas, and we can benefit from timely action. Begin a creative activity (or enjoy the fruits of a successful one), and listen to your intuition. As long as we aren’t foolhardy, this is a good time for speculation, self-promotion, and recognition. This grand trine affects your material houses, and your job and finances could benefit from renewed focus, commitment, and vitality. It’s also an excellent time for personal finances, spiritual endeavors, and family affairs.

May 7-8 Venus forms a supportive aspect and Mercury forms a challenging aspect to your ruler, Saturn. A challenging conversation or problem can arise that opens up warm feelings.

May 10-11 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Mars opposes your Sun, and this can be an especially eventful time for you.

May 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May 27-28 The Sun sextiles your ruler, Saturn. You are coming across with authority now, and others respect you. Joint finances and investments may go well during this period.

May 31-Jun 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

April 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April

Overview. A solar eclipse at the end of March fell in your solar third house, and its effects reverberate throughout April (and beyond). The sequence of eclipses in Aries and Libra in the past while have brought up issues surrounding learning and sharing knowledge in your life. Your attention to your immediate environment and branching out and beyond it are stimulated. You have been receiving a cosmic push to become more active in your immediate environment (neighborhood, with siblings/relatives, etc.), and/or to learn and communicate facts that fuel your opinions. In the months ahead, these issues are bound to capture much of your attention.

In general, it’s a busy month for you. Whether you like it or not, there is a lot to do. The phone is ringing off the hook, there are errands to run, and everyone seems to want a conversation with you. The Sun turns its spotlight onto your sector of home and family mid-month, and just how comfortable you are with family will determine whether this period feels good or not. Next month is quieter for you. For now, you’re in demand! Mercury’s retrograde last month likely lead to misunderstandings with communications. Idle chit-chatting during this period may have had repercussions! Mess-ups on the job were frustrating. Differences of opinion took on silly proportions. Mercury moving forward means that problems you may have had with such matters are lifting. Your judgment was compromised in March, but this becomes a thing of the past in April. Now is the time to resolve matters by talking things through. Applying reason and logic to problems, as long as it is done warmly, will do wonders now.

Venus moves through your finance sector this month. Do your best to avoid giving in to extravagance, as you have a tendency to want luxury items in an attempt to boost your feeling of security. This is not a terrible thing–in fact, it’s a better time astrologically to make purchases–but some moderation will help. Steadiness and certainty in love relationships fills a deep need right now. Any new relationships started now are bound to be based on a feeling of mutual security and certainty. Existing relationships take on a more stable and sensual tone. Some feelings of possessiveness are normal now–even attractive–as long as they aren’t taken too far.

Saturn, your ruler, turning direct this month is great news for you. While Saturn was retrograde for the last 4-1/2 months, you may have felt blocked, especially with regards to close partnerships and with respect to your ability to express yourself freely. Stagnation and a feeling of being in a rut were likely. These matters are not going to be moving forward quickly just yet, but you will begin to feel more on top of things now. It’s a good time to move forward with plans to structure your life. Over the course of the next few months, you should be feeling more expressive and less burdened.

Highlights:

March 29 New Moon in Aries (Total Solar Eclipse) in your solar third house. This energy is with you until the next New Moon, and beyond (its effects can extend up to 6 months). The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general “busy-ness”. This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.

April 2-4 Some exciting cosmic energy is with us now. Venus is parallel Chiron and sextile Pluto, and Mercury re-visits its trine to Jupiter. This is an excellent period for financial undertakings, love, and overall good humor. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a purchase, here it is. With your finance, career, and romance sectors involved, you could receive a boost (whether it’s a bonus or gift from an unexpected source, or simply positive feedback) in any of these areas of life.

April 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it’s time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won’t work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

April 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you’re noticed for what you’ve done or haven’t done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don’t be afraid to show others exactly what you’re made of. You’re at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

April 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

April 22-23 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up nowthe discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are all possible.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

March 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

March

Overview. Saturn, your ruler, trines the Moon’s North Node this month, suggesting positive interactions with older or more experienced people. Benefits and recognition may come from elders or from others in positions of authority. Time alone for reflection fosters personal growth; in fact, it’s an excellent month for doing a bit of soul-searching. A voluntary sacrifice or renunciation may give you an inner sense of joy and satisfaction. Venus continues its journey through your solar first house this month, highlighting your attention to your personal appearance, and helping you to come across at your charming best. It moves to your sector of finances and security in the last few days of the month. Around the same time, Mars moves from your sector of pleasure to your sector of work and routines. For the time being, you are feeling especially self-expressive. You’re not much in the mood for getting work done. Enjoy this phase, as you are ready to get back to business in the last week of March. Note, however, that Mercury is retrograde from the 2nd to the 25th, and it is a good idea to be aware that people might be misunderstanding your words, and that there could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers’ errors.

Highlights:

Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.

The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it’s best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

March 17-18 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

February 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

February

Overview: Venus changing direction in your sign early February means that relationships with romantic partners and co-workers (which may have reached a crisis level recently) begin to improve, perhaps dramatically. You are less likely to be misunderstood now. You can put the past behind you now, and it feels good to do so! Now you can thoroughly enjoy the planet of love and pleasure occupying your sign, especially beginning in the last week of the month when Venus, the planet of attraction, is on your Sun. In fact, Mars in your fellow earth sign, Taurus, begins its journey through your sector of pleasure, romance, and children, and these areas of your life are where you are pouring your energy and enthusiasm. This is particularly so around the 5th and 6th of the month. You are concerned about your feelings of security and permanence, and you may have a stronger urge to buy things that help plump your nest. You’re at your magnetic best right now, so take advantage. It’s time to have some fun.

Highlights:

January 29 New Moon in Aquarius in your solar first house influences the month ahead (up until the next New Moon). This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:

January 2006: Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

January

A reflective month, particularly in the first half of January, is in store for you. It’s a great time to lay low, retreat a little from the hectic pace of your life, and rest for busier times to come. Next month, Mars will energize you and you will be in the spotlight. Heed the general warnings of Venus in retrograde motion this month. Venus will turn direct on February 3rd, but for now, its movement through your solar first and twelfth houses suggests that you are withdrawing on a social level, and this may concern important people in your life. Reassure them that you simply need some down time just now. Note your dreams during this period, as they are likely to be prophetic and especially personally meaningful. Mid-month, you begin to come out of your shell. This is a time when you concern yourself with your self-image and appearance. The New Moon on the 29th marks the beginning of a sociable, outgoing phase.

Highlights:

December 31-January 1 New Moon in Capricorn, sets a theme for the month ahead. Make a resolution concerning commitment to your career goals on December 31st to January 1st. Think of ways to add more structure and organization to your life. This New Moon occurs in your solar twelfth house. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical “batteries”. Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other’s needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first housea period that is more active and busy than this one.

January 1-2 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a tense aspect to heavyweight Pluto. Although they may be tempting, avoid confrontations right now, as they will lead nowhere.

January 3-4 Monthly money and income peak. You’re looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don’t have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now–the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

January 9-10 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. You have an emotional need for recreation. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

January 14-15 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and you may need to compromise. This is the time during the lunar month that is closest to the “pits.” Most likely time to catch cold, get overlooked, find yourself ignored. Energy may be low and efforts are more ineffectual than usualeither push twice as hard or take the day off and wait for improvement. The spotlight is on others close to you, so be willing to play a supporting role and pass the ball on to someone elseit will come back soon enough. Concentrate on communication with a special partner.

January 23 Venus trine Mars today and affects your twelfth and fourth solar houses. An opportunity to heal and find creative solutions to family problems may appear.

January 28 Your ruler, Saturn, forms a stressful aspect to both the Sun and Mercury. A feeling of being blocked or opposed is very possible today.

January 28-29 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It’s all about you now, so it’s time to put your best face forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

January 29 New Moon in Aquarius in your first house. This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic.
