Capricorn Weekly ArchivesWeek
WeekWEEK BEGINNING 1ST DECEMBER 2010
Try and coast through from now until year’s end when all of a sudden anything that has been stalled or news that you have been waiting on will suddenly move forward, final hour stuff. In the meantime make lists and give a lot of thought to what your really want to do and where you really want to go and if you need to change anything. It will save you time and lots of emotional, physical and mental energy. That said you are moving into an auspicious time and definitely getting a second (third, 300th?) wind to motivate you and re-energise your ambitions. People will offer more help now or appear to want to push your cause more than usual and you will be relying on teamwork to get anywhere. There will be a percentage of you that feels that you need to go back to the drawing board and start again literally and will abandon a path that you’ve been pursuing for some time. If you have business partners this may cause consternation but you have thought it through and will remain unfazed by any resistance to your plans and will proceed according to your decision. Life doesn’t seem exactly on the straight and narrow right now but it will improve after 2 weeks if you can coast along until then. In the meantime stick with the tried and tested rocks in your world to give you a sense of equanimity in a world gone mad – or at the very least one that is in the “too hard basket”. Just make sure in your deliberations and decision that these reflect the real picture and not one that you have decided on which (may) not be an entirely accurate representation of the state of play. If you need to make any concessions or modifications to your approach that would pave the way clear for all, it might be worth considering but when push comes to shove, back your own instincts. There is every indication that no matter how unsettled and uncertain your financial enterprises currently appear, there will be signs of more positive movement even before Christmas and perhaps this week or next will provide some indication in this regard. It’s not an easy or relaxing time so try and chill as much as you can, when you can. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 24TH NOVEMBER 2010
Well your zodiac archer colleague survived the sway of planets in the 12th and the accompanying suspicion, mistrust and paranoia that went along with it. It isn’t you, it’s ME! There is little that I can recommend other than be aware of your slighted twisted and gaga state, that will make you prone to self reflection at best and some depression at worst. To protect yourself and minimize any potential fallouts, remove yourself as far from the fray as you can and give a wide berth to anything that makes your blood pressure rise - even slightly. Give yourself solitude and plenty of time to replenish your reserves ready for the next upswing at the end of November. I wish I could guarantee you a peaceful week when you can put out a Do Not Disturb sign on your office, but unfortunately this is exactly where there will be some action. It may be that you’ve finally identified something that clearly is no longer worth your ongoing input and effort, or an agreement previously reached may be up for review. Don’t let any of this escalate into an all-out quarrel, remind folk of previously agreed guidelines and strategies (if you have to) and try to work as a team. As much as you want to deflect the spotlight I believe there will be some travel on your horizon - either work or family reasons - but the outcome of either will be far more productive than you could ever have anticipated and pleasantly surprising. Don’t fret unduly with any misunderstandings or detours that you may encounter this week, it’s a passing transit and the odd emotions you are feeling will soon dissipate. You’ll be back on the path before you know it. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 17TH NOVEMBER 2010
A lot of Cappys have contacted me and wondered what had happened to their careers and much heralded success. Well think of Capricorn Kate Middelton who had to wait 8+ years to marry the next King of England (with a separation in between). I bet during those times she wondered where this was going but she backed herself and stayed true to her dreams. It’s not exactly a perfect analogy, but if you do likewise and play the game patiently, efficiently and continue to make the right choices, you too will come out a winner. This week with Jupiter and Venus giving you a push you are more on the road to victory than ever before and it becomes more of a reality as the weeks pass, so even if you aren’t perfect – not possible - you will still do a hell of a lot better than you anticipated. Signs of this will begin to pop up all over the place. If you were shortlisted for a great job and missed out then you will now hear that you got a second chance or better still they offer you another position in the company! Otherwise you will receive a pay increase or a Xmas bonus in your existing job or asked to address/be MC for committee or group! You are in demand, highly valued and wanted and it’s about time! It hasn’t been an easy ride by any means of late and this change of financial climate is timely to say the least! Speaking of wanted, you may also have caught the eye of someone who is making it rather obvious that they feel quite enamored – only problem is this offer is quite inappropriate. It’s either a boss of the opposition company, or someone you work with, or your boyfriend’s best friend - that kind of awkward and inappropriate. If you can navigate yourself out of that pickle (which of course you can) the rest is a welcome breeze. Do you believe in Angels, the Tooth Fairy and Santa? No? Well with the Cosmos about to take amazing care of you and granting most of your wishes, you should! You’re one lucky man/woman but then you do deserve it after all! ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 10TH NOVEMBER 2010
Do you remember that line that Jack Nicholson said, “what if this is as good as it gets? Terrifying really and yet this is exactly what you are thinking about these days. You are trying to figure out what it is that is important to you – getting to the top we know that - but what other elements do you require to make your life whole. You’ve worked hard these last years and maintained your equilibrium in circumstances that would have made others crumble. You resisted the urge to apportion blame when it wasn’t your fault and you’ve had to ensure others sloppy ways. In fact you’ve played it by the book to get ahead and improve your lot and yet you haven’t quite reached your Shangri-La yet. Yet you’re slowing gaining a comprehension and understanding of what is really required to reach the top of your world. Perhaps you’ve been too retiring thus far and too accommodating. Now it’s time to yell from the rooftops just how fantastic you are especially as things are really starting to swing in your favor. Bosses and those in authority are giving you the green light, and your financial and career world is opening up and expanding faster than you had hoped. You may be headhunted this week or receive an attractive offer from a respected organization. Yes! However there is still some work to be done on the domestic front. It’s either your Mother or Mother-in-law or an older sister if you’re female, if you’re male it’s a strong woman in your life. You’ve ignored a brewing situation. In fact it’s been developing for some time and in ignoring it, you’ve allowed it to become a bit of a runaway train. In fact it’s a ‘system’ that’s entrenched in your lifestyle and now you’re going to have to undo it. It will take a bit more than simply asking for others to back off because they WILL be resistant. When you confront the situation this week and bring it to a head, expect noses to be out of joint and ensuing temperamental times. Don’t accept an impassive stance, continue to force the issue until it’s resolved. And if it IS your mother-in-law expect your other half to be emotionally remote for at least a week. Don’t worry; this issue has to be put to bed once and for all. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 3RD NOVEMBER 2010
If you have a job then there should be every reason to be smiling. Things are going well, you shine in the boardroom and you’ll impress those who count at every important opportunity. There is the slight possibility of a run-in with a female but more likely you get a new female boss or similar, but a key woman or women figure more prominently and make a greater impact than usual. Nonetheless each day’s successes reinforce your smart career choice further stimulating your many aims and ambitions. But these aren’t only relegated to your career but also in your social life and standing in society, and this feels more important than ever this week; to hit home runs and be noticed socially. Because of this you want to put yourself out there at every given opportunity and I wouldn’t be surprised to find that you’re partying like mad and catching up with friends. There could even be a link between your friends and your aspirations; one of your friends may be able to further your cause. Try not to dilute the ability to kick back and have fun but seeing socializing as a career or personal advancement obligation. You and I know there is so much more lurking underneath that cool façade of consummate professionalism and it’s true that Capricorns are among the most highly sexed and potentially wild at heart in the zodiac. But people have to ahem, get to know you better to discover that aspect of your makeup. Your passions will be ignited at some stage during this week and there will definitely be reciprocal interest. In fact by the weekend you are so joined at the hip that it’s highly unlikely you’ll bother to venture outside….perhaps to get milk. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 6TH OCTOBER 2010
A lot of Cappy’s went through a period where they were scrutinizing their nearest and dearest and essentially seeing if they “made the grade” and this took place whether you’d been together for 2 weeks or 20 years. You are moving up the ladder of success in a big way, your “coming into power” will have many forms and guises but you are coming into your own big time, and you have to feel confident that your “running mate’ will be the best fit to help you along the way. Now that process is winding down, you’ll feel grateful, loving and romantic all over again and be keen to enthusiastically discuss plans for the future - now that you’ve convinced yourself that they’ve got a future with you! If truth be known, this was probably as a result of your frustration for the seemingly slow progress you’re making in other areas of your life and our romantic partners often wear the brunt of our disappointments. This week any of the “issues” that stood between you or were bones on contention will be discussed, agreed upon and resolved and as a result you will enjoy renewed strength between you. Unfortunately things are not as conciliatory on the work front and this week you will have a “head to” at the office or with a business partner which will resolve itself quickly, certainly before the next forecast. Don’t be dismayed by what appear to be setbacks or non-recognition of your talents. You might be very tempted to draw a line in the sand with what you perceive as unacceptable limitations or challenges to your authority but whatever transpires, I can tell you that a new day is dawning in your career. There is a huge career move looming on the horizon (with remarkable consequences for your status), and what is happening now is simply the preparatory stage. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 27TH OCTOBER 2010
Thinking, thinking, thinking. You’re doing a hell of a lot of that lately and it centers predominately on your home life and family. You’ve become quite fanatical about having the parameters of your world clearly spelt out so that you know exactly where you stand. Because of that you will need quiet times to work out exactly what it is you do want as you are about to make one of the most significant decisions to date for your happiness and advancement relating to this very topic… Firstly though you have to define what it is that you want and need in this realm. What makes you secure in a relationship, what things do you need to be in place for emotional progress and growth? You are entering a reflective stage where you will be doing lots of thinking about all these issues and the things that you feel are restricting you. There is also the possibility that something that you’ve done in the past that you’ve regretted or that you know in hindsight was not the right thing to do could come back to haunt you now like karma. If there are any areas of your life that need winding up or letting go of, now is the time to do it, either willingly or have it done for you. The good news is that you will have extra support from friends and influential folk who will be furthering your cause (the latter may make you act on the former). If you are single (and even if not!) there will be the temptation of an otherwise inappropriate liaison i.e. your ex, your boss (or someone in a position of power or influence) – at any rate you will not be short of advances if you are so inclined. Whatever happens this week and next will wipe the slate clean and remove any remaining limitations, allowing you to move ahead unencumbered – whether that is emotionally, mentally or…. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 20TH OCTOBER 2010
All you want is to excel in everything. That’s all. You want a happy, elegant, Ralph Lauren clad home and a home life that is secure and permanent. That idea has been given a bit of a hammering of late but you will never concede defeat, the word “indefatigable” defines a Capricorn. But you are feeling every inch your glyph, the Goat right now, climbing to one ledge and then another on your own personal Mt Everest quest. With a personal “climb” of such magnitude there has of course to be the odd stumble or even a free fall. You’ve just reached a point in this “climb” whereby you’ve got to ditch a very heavy load or work out a way to take it with you, without tripping you up or slowing you down. Hint the “load” can be a person or a situation or…….you decide. This week you’ve reached a zenith of sorts, the end of an era where you are closing off one chapter to move onto another. It may be a new house, town, job or partner but it’s bye-bye to the past. The Thursday/Friday (full moon) will see you getting very antsy with someone in particular and there will be ensuing drama over the weekend and into next week (and beyond). This will be over a number of issues still to thrash out relating to family matters and/or property and your goals for the future. What you own appears to be defining you and reflecting on your status within a partnership and you aren’t seeing eye-to-eye with that someone over the “bottom line”. You want to protect your security and yet another is not seeing it in quite the same light as you do and this conflict will drag on for the remainder of October and well into November. Cheer up, you still have your fan club though and those members are growing by the day! ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 13TH OCTOBER 2010
What constitutes happiness? Harrison Ford once said that “being happy is something you have to learn”. “I guess I'm happy. I got a home I love and a career that I love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself. If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too”. HF is not a Capricorn but it sure as hell sounds just like what you’re thinking right now. Only you alone in the zodiac can reconcile your emotional needs with your drive to succeed and once that is done, nothing on Earth can stop you. So things are not great on the emotional front. It’s true that a lot of you have been scrutinizing your partners and feeling that they don’t support your ambitions. Your most intimate relationships are tense and strained and you’re finding it difficult to read the mood, but there’s worse to come because when they do, you won’t like what you hear! Some Capricorns are bound by mink-lined, golden handcuffs and live in a quid pro quo situation. But there’s not such thing as a free lunch and there are issues of oppression, control and mistrust. You’ve put up with this for many years and this aspect will not change and you must realize that if you are to remodel your life and improve your existence (which is what you are all about) then you need to take some brave steps. This is not the week though as your support base, your friends and allies have gone south and being weird to say the least. In fact many of your acquaintances are acting oddly and there seems to be a lack of clarity all around. It’s probably jealousy and if you are sensing that they are being undermining and divisive, you are probably right! So going back to Harrison, knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 29TH SEPTEMBER 2010
Life is expanding in just the way you envisaged, both socially and romantically and career wise. You moving up and out, and this could mean changes to residences, titles, invitation lists, members of the family and income. Those in existing relationships are enjoying greater togetherness and heighted trust resulting in plans being made and agreements reached and there will be greater financial benefit to you as a result. This is the culmination of many years of creative visualization and if you saw yourself as the Lord or Lady of the Manor, then this will come to fruition. Whether you pictured yourself as CEO, a TV star or Forbes most wanted, the Cosmos is ensuring that those in power, see, value and reward your efforts. But there is someone in the background who is trying to hold you back. Who is this spectre of doom and gloom trying to thwart your moves and ambition or at the very least slow them down? Do not allow any external influences to impede your progress and remember you are more powerful than you realize. You hold the cards, not them but in order to release this power, you must first believe it to unleash it. Visualize exactly what you want and then go forth and if you’ve put in the effort beforehand (of course you have, you’re a Capricorn!), you will definitely see the fruits of your labour. Insider tip from the Cosmos - it’s the time to bite off more than you can chew, or spit out what has become unpalatable. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 22ND SEPTEMBER 2010
You continue to be the chrysalis emerging from your cocoon. But will I be a moth or a beautiful butterfly you ask, needing reassurance in times of struggle whilst you still resemble an ugly caterpillar. I promise you, you will be a wondrous butterfly and recall Richard Bach’s words “what the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the rest of the world calls a butterfly”. Your transformation continues to take place and you are coming into great power but don’t hurry the process along as the Cosmos doesn’t like that - it’s like waiting for water to boil. You’ve experienced all sorts of challenges, like knights of olde in their quests for glory and each one has provided you with more strength, endurance and understanding - all the key stones you’re going to need to be a great success. You have to be a lone wolf now, the sole knight and even in your most intimate relationships you have to maintain that sense of self, absolutely no forms of unhealthy or financial dependence or reliance that can hold your back from fulfilling your destiny. In any business alliances, there must be no blurred edges to the association and if these exist and can’t be resolved satisfactorily then this is the right time to end them. The same goes for your romantic ties. In this area many of you are finding the going tough and you may just decide to focus your attention on business rather than your love life until you reach your goals. Don't look back or devote any time on recriminations, you must keep you eye on the future and the main game. If the going gets tough, get going if you have to and a few Cappy’s will definitely be instigating relocation plans as part of this process. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 15TH SEPTEMBER 2010
Don’t break your stride now, even in the darkest hour. When you are really in doubt or despair read John Bunyan's Little Pilgrim's Progress, a religious allegory perhaps but inspiring all the same, or The Alchemist or even The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery (who wrote it only a year before his death). All will inspire you and urge you onwards. The message in The Alchemist is “When you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you achieve it” and never lose sight of the fact that this is an absolute truism. It would seem that this week the Cosmos is providing you with either a wake-up call or even a tsunami of sorts to make you stop, take stock and figure out if you are on the right track. You may be tempted, persuaded (or even impelled) to take a completely different course than the one you’ve been travelling on. Your have an inner “success” barometer which is highly tuned these days and nearly always on target so this will guide you to making the right decisions, fear not. Do you stay or do you go? No matter how surreal or uncertain anything is, when you are in 2011 you will look back on 2010 and realize just how far you have come. This week could contain one of those “first days of the rest of your life” moments. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 8TH SEPTEMBER 2010
You are one of the most admired folk in the zodiac. Bosses and business partners positively love you because of your many sterling qualities. If you feel like you are struggling sometimes or not getting an even break, know that around the corner your army of supporters and admirers are there waiting for you to strut your stuff and applaude. Cappy’s were born to struggle uphill and conquer the mountain (goats!) and are very sure footed. But if you’re a bit fed up to the back teeth with the system or with the blathering fools that you are compelled to deal with, then take a break and expand your horizons. You can take your eye of the ball occasionally without it disappearing. In some situations someone else has given you an unexpected break (if you get my drift) and you’ll want to take off and have a change of scenery but certainly the influence of travel, foreign climes, or distant connections is figuring prominently in your scope. You could be taking a trip or at least planning one or if not then you are broadening your horizons in other ways. Your contacts and social circles are changing also - friends, new and old - and by early 2011 for some reason you should have a whole new circle of contacts than you do now. These might be new work colleagues, pals you met on holidays or via a hobby/study class and there could be a revolving door scenario, some go others come in. Another scenario could be a change of partner and hence a change to a lot of your immediate contacts. You will know for certain this week who your supporters are and which ones you can’t rely on. ^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 1ST SEPTEMBER 2010
You’ve been planning your moment in the sun basically from birth and are now on the precipice of the most profound passage of your life - that is your working life. This will be an eye-opening, gob smacking period for either all the right reasons or for all the wrong reasons. If you have worked hard and planned well you will be beginning to reap the rewards right about now but if on the other hand you have made poor or ineffectual choices then you will be reaping those seeds also.
If you are the latter, do not fret too much you still have another decade to reinvent yourself and assume the mantle of leader that is your destiny. You are already aware that how you see yourself and your role in the world has changed from what it was only a couple of years ago. You must have begun to notice the growing control and influence that you can exert over others and this power will continue to soar in quantum leaps and before long there will be little holding you back.
If you have started a new business, enterprise or new career recently this will set the foundations for some time to come but that said, you may not be exactly rolling in the $’s just yet. Try and ride out the frustration and concerns over the money supply in the interim as it won’t begin to flow for a number of weeks.
Depending on when you are born, some of you still have yet to clear the decks which will include leaving behind people, jobs or structures that you feel are inhibiting your rise to power and stunting your personal growth. If you don’t the Cosmos will conspire to do this for you, and whilst it may feel like a catastrophe at the time, its all for your long term good (think Tiger and Elin Woods, both Cappy’s).
A proviso here, if you distrust others or are ruthless in your dealings you will suffer the consequences. If you have been kind, genuine and hardworking you will reap the benefits. For you, your ship has come in.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 25TH AUGUST 2010
It’s been an uphill battle hasn’t it? But goats are great climbers and no matter how rocky and unstable the terrain they seem to be able to keep their footing.
In the lives of Cappy’s over the past few years it’s either been an incredible uphill battle in your career, love life or both. Surprisingly you are sometimes shy and lacking in self confidence and self-esteem but are (usually) confident – or at least appear that way on the surface. What you do have in spades however is self-discipline and you are using every gram of this to do whatever it takes to establish your place in this world and secure your future.
Some are at complete odds with their loved ones (and a number of the people in their lives they are impelled to deal with) and feel at times like they are literally living on a different planet.
For those of you who have made that big break from the past (think Tiger Woods) you are now in healing and revival mode. Others will continue to do everything to keep it all together and Capricorn is the least likely sign in the zodiac to divorce.
For others there is already movement at the station, the agreement is in place and the check is in the mail but if you can postpone signing contracts for another few weeks all the better. The main thing is to show your enthusiasm and willingness to be flexible and accommodating to new and different ways of doing things but by the same token don’t be too influenced by others.
You are great at maintaining your façade of confidence but often berate yourself behind the scenes and suffer from self doubt. There is no need for any doubt, you are on the money; your dream is authentic and valid and the Cosmos will reward your perseverance and staying power.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 18TH AUGUST 2010
Money makes the world go around. That’s the message this week. Work, business, finance, networking, connections, you’ve got to really “work it” now for all it’s worth to break through any barriers.
If you have great aspirations you are poised for great success and there certainly is a “brave new world” feel to what is currently happening. There are momentous changes afoot, and you are being pushed to make decisions now that feel either “make or break” or force you to make a choice that perhaps you’d rather not have to make just yet.
You are aware that your life is heading in a different direction, you’ve worked hard towards achieving recognition and yet now that you are on the brink and poised for success, you’re not sure you are fully prepared. Back yourself and trust your ability, don’t be too pushy but for Gods sake don’t hold back. If you don’t have a grand plan, make one quickly. The most important message is to strut your stuff and make sure that not only are you noticed but that you really stand out from the crowd and make an impact.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 11TH AUGUST 2010
I keep saying that Cappy’s are going through a transformation and they are and like in nature this sometimes involves a shedding of the old skin to make way for the new. I don’t know what it’s like for snakes but for humans this process can cause you some degree (or a lot) of discomfort.
Just keep the faith (which of course you will you are a Capricorn), you will remain focused on your goals and will stick like glue to your decisions, or should I say your decisions for the future. Some decision made long ago, may not be relevant in your life at this juncture although these in the main relate to your private life.
Notwithstanding in your professional realm the going has gotten tough, but this will pass and you will be guaranteed of success if you continue to persevere and show what you’re made of.
In fact work may be so all consuming right now that you are loathe delving too much into any areas that need amending in your relationships but the key thing now is (inter) independence in all areas of your life, including your private life and as you are demanding quality and excellence everywhere, if you don’t have that, it’s not going to work long term.
With the planetary line up as it is, for this week just concentrate on keeping your nose to the grindstone and keeping it clean. Any key moves you make this week will have greater ramifications than you’d wish for, especially if they are not totally above board. Hold off until you have more astrological support and personal power before making any waves that is unless you really can’t stand it a minute longer…
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 4TH AUGUST 2010
There are monumental changes happening in your life, they started in 2008, cranked up in 2009 which was more of a case of dismantling and bedlam and what was left out of shedding of your skin is the sparkling new you who knows exactly where they are going.
You are filled with aspirations and will not desist on your push forward until you get there. This process is ongoing, Saturn for the next couple of years and Pluto for over a decade but they are transforming your future. Nearly every aspect of your being is morphing, work, play, home, appearance, health, love – you name it, it’s being sculpted to be the very best for you.
Any remaining sticking blocks to your ambitions should be falling by the wayside now allowing you to drive on through. You are the Panzer tank of the zodiac and will simply plough through all barricades and stumbling blocks in your path. Mentors, gurus, guides, teachers, bosses everyone has their eye out for you and are willing and able to bestow you with whatever it is you wish – just so long as you ask.
If you are not getting encouragement and support, especially from close quarters you need to address this aspect first and foremost. At work where you are a tour de force be conscious of not riding roughshod over others – it pays to be congenial and remember the old adage “more bees with honey”.
Likewise be careful of not moving too quickly both in your business and private life this week, if you push too hard or too fast it could be a case of act in haste, regret in leisure and this is the only area where you are at risk.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 28TH JULY 2010
Cappy’s are really quite home bodies in that their relationships are very important to them. Granted it may be more a social design than most but they do like having someone at home to support them and share the mental and emotional load. You have invested a lot of your time and effort to holding the family thing together so it’s nice to have this retuned to you every now and then in the form of a serene and stable home environment to which to escape the madding crowd.
Right now the bells are ringing for you, you get the nod from many quarters and your career should really be on the up and up. Partners, supporters, mentors all have you in their sights and are pushing your barrow and singing your praises and you are getting attention from all directions.
You have to be very diplomatic in your juggling of sensitive egos in order to milk the most out of this embarrassment of riches being thrown your way. More money should be pouring in, although you have to watch your propensity this week for it all to go out!
This week brings a choice of sorts, you have to get really real about the direction you are taking or how you want to live your life, where you are going with your career and how your family/home life is serving your needs is all up for your consideration.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 21ST JULY 2010
All eyes are on you. What you do next and for the next couple of years will be the brilliant culmination of everything that you have secretly worked and planned towards. You are so desperate now to have reward and acknowledgement of your efforts that you will do anything and everything to bring this to fruition.
You have impressed others and where you are positioned in the grand scheme of things is more important now than it will probably ever be. Certainly your social repute is at stake so be very aware of what’s on show here as people are watching and judging.
You have had to construct some walls around you to protect yourself but you are no longer scared or intimidated by certain folk and this has opened up a whole lot of channels and options for you that you didn’t consider previously. People who didn’t “get” you before become irrelevant rather than a source of angst as you fought to win them over.
You are uninhibited and unconcerned about what actions you take now, you are only accountable to yourself and no-one else. This absolute focus on your needs and goals will necessitate sacrifices from those who love you as it’s hard for you now to find the commitment, time and dedication to anything or anyone other than your worldly ambitions.
In fact this is your overriding source of conflict this week, your home life versus your career, your success versus your emotional commitment and at the end of the day what you really, really want out of this life.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 14TH JULY 2010
This year so far has basically been one long strategy session as you’ve tried to plot and steer your course through the confusion and uncertainty that has prevailed.
Finally you begin to see some headway and a few doors opening up whereas they remained closed previously no matter how hard you knocked. There is still a major decision (or two) for you to make and you can’t procrastinate or defer these any longer, you know that. Can you imagine how sweet life is going to feel when you are doing what you want on your terms without limitations or constraints?
Within about 10 days (that’s not long is it?) you will be setting off on your new path to success, the one that you (and everyone else) knew was coming. You’ve literally gone through a re-birth and just like the argument that children choose their parents, you can choose your future and who will be in it.
I guess by now you’ve worked out your own criteria for success – for some its being a CEO, others just being the very best they can be. Some want love, others $’s. At the end of the day, no matter what your idea of success is, know that you will get it - it’s your destiny with Pluto transiting your 1st house of personal power and self assertion.
A lot of Capricorns are discontented with the arrangements in their domestic sphere and it really is a case of others having to adjust to your aspirations and incorporate them in their lives. If not, you will most likely choose an environment that facilitates your progress rather than pander to any impediments…
Travel remains an integral aspect of your future as your world continues to open up and expand.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 7TH JULY 2010
I have little doubt or concern that you don’t know exactly where you are going – Capricorns always do. You probably had it all mapped out at five. All Cappy’s are renowned for their drive - they seem cool, calm reserved and very ‘together”.
Note operative word “together”, it is a surprising fact that Caps really do others in their lives. They are socially orientated and it’s good for their self esteem (if nothing else) to have people around. However if it was down to you or them and in some way their needs compromised yours, well it would be a no contest.
We all know that you’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and pondering about the future. Well with great power comes great responsibility and part of that responsibility is to know (hopefully in advance) what needs to be done to get you to where you want to go, without too much fallout along the way.
You know there are huge changes ahead as your realize your potential and fulfill your destiny. Everyone in your life will necessarily be affected, your loved ones of course and all the other “players” in your life (work, friends, family etc).
If you are single there will be a new love or a marriage, if you are married …well there will be new and exciting people entering your life at this time.
The political landscape is changing, which can be quite uncomfortable.
Imbalances of power will be addressed although that doesn’t necessarily have to be in your favour this week. It wouldn’t hurt to be a bit more accommodating than usual if you want a better result.
Not to worry though, you will ultimately end up in front of course but there might just be a small detour along the way. Think of having a whole set of tooth veneers, uncomfortable whilst it’s happening but then voila, the result when unveiled is phenomenal and very much worth any discomfort.
Do you follow my drift? The same thing is happening here.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 30TH JUNE 2010
There are some signs that when they are under emotional stress, the whole world knows about it. I’ll use the computer term “wysiwyg” (wiziwig) - which stands for What You See Is What You Get. You are NOT one of them.
No matter how disenfranchised you feel, out-on-a-limb or “island-like” emotionally, no-one will ever know how upset you feel (just like your fellow zodiac pals, Scorpio) and on the contrary this is when your incredibly strong will kicks in.
You have this unique ability to reconcile your emotional needs with your drive to succeed and once you’ve done that, nothing on Earth can stop you! This is exactly when you will be initiating your biggest (and long term) plans and so this week (and month) will be quite significant in this regard.
I believe this is the week in which you will identify (and begin to implement) your future direction(s) and you will be re-evaluating nearly all aspects of your life, particularly your relationships.
Be reassured that you have planetary support now to help make any adjustments required which could be anything from a restructuring of the domestic/family mix to relocating.
Your communication skill has been given the green light by the cosmos (or is that the golden light?) and you are far more effective in getting your message across than you may have previously. This is good because although it’s true to say that in an argument there isn't a sign in the Universe that can better a Capricorn, you are known for your mood swings and you can get a bit condescending.
You need to ascertain once and for all if you can depend on and trust certain folk in your life and these include work colleagues, friends and loved ones. You are in the spotlight and you are subject to public scrutiny (whether you are conscious of this or not) but this doesn’t faze you in the slightest. Bring it on, you say.
You are coming into your own personal power and anyone who you feel is not for you or holding you back in any way, must go. If others doubt your staying power, commitment or ability (silly them) just reconfirm that patience and endurance during adversity is amongst your arsenal.
The only thing that can hold you back is you.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 23RD JUNE 2010
There are so many decisions you have to make and courses of action that you have to take that no doubt you will be feeling fragile and walking on eggshells.
You thought you had it all figured out and then circumstances changed so that you had to go back to the mental and emotional drawing board. You are doing a mental checklist of for’s and against’s and trying to figure out what is acceptable and what must go.
You know you must put your own interests first. This is what started the whole damn process in the first place when you realized that it boiled down to a compromise between what was best for you and the cards that you had to play with.
Do you throw out the deck or reshuffle. You want love and support but at what cost? Do you have to forgo something to realize your dreams or make an adjustment that thwarts your real ambitions and are you prepared to do that?
And overriding all this is that your ambitions may be merely to just “be yourself” and your Cappy perfectionism is making you desperately unhappy as you strive to meet the expectation of others – or how you see their expectations of you and your performance, rightly or wrongly.
There are certainly clashes going on between yourself and your nearest and dearest (including work superiors) who profess to have your best interests at heart but are “on your case” all the time. I don’t sense that you feel there are many out there on whom you can truly rely and there may even be some folks “out to get you”.
Do you walk in a parallel universe with your closest associations or to the sounds of a different drum? If it is the latter you don’t want to see out 2010 like this? Well do you?
Have the courage and power to be yourself and follow your own destiny, WHATEVER that destiny is and start welcoming the changes that are ahead.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 16TH JUNE 2010
Capricorns nearly always know exactly where they are going. You probably knew at five what you wanted to do for the rest of your life and merely tweaked the parameters along the way to better suit your ever expanding goalposts.
Normally you take the conservative, safe route, however there appears to be an aberration to this theme and you could find yourself in completely new and unchartered territory. That’s not to say that you won’t choose the very best path for yourself but you could be reactive as opposed to your usual proactive approach, even for a nano second. Of course that won’t be reflective of any of your long term agendas, but for the immediate future your home and family life will have more of an impact on your decision making than you would have envisaged going in.
It is in this area that I feel you are making a stand (as opposed to the work arena although that is full of unmitigated pressure as well) and you are being quite inflexible over some issue or situation that is not to your liking. How this pans out is yet to be seen and I trust that you don’t overplay your hand. You can feel confident and reassured (you’re pretty cool and confident usually – well at least on the surface) that you do have support in certain quarters, who both recognize and want to assist you in the current turmoil both at home and at work.
There is also a certain someone who has your interest even if your attention is all but consumed in other more mundane but arcane quarters.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 9TH JUNE 2010
Some Cappy’s feel like they are close to a nervous breakdown which is very surprising as they are the cool, calm and collected members of the zodiac. The rest of you are definitely going through “interesting times”. Did you know that when the Chinese say this it is by way of a curse “may you life in interesting times” so “interesting” doesn’t mean you are having a nice time of it.
That’s not to say that there isn’t silver lining in there somewhere. Who’s to say that Capricorn Elin Woods doesn’t decide to divorce Capricorn Tiger? Nothing is impossible and whilst this may be an extreme example, I suspect that a lot of Cappy’s out there know what I am talking about.
There is a certain lack of warmth or connectivity in your more intimate interpersonal relationships although these “interpersonal” relationships don’t have to be your significant other: this can include any or all of you one-to-one connections (including other family members or even work colleagues) and frankly you are desperate for a bit of a peace of mind.
Has someone let you down or is not behaving in the manner that you had hoped or expected?
Can you work with it or overlook people’s failings or have they become far too untenable? Can you extract apologies, promises of change of behaviour or a general restructuring of your setup? There will unquestionably be an alteration to your existence but what that comprises for you will be reflective of each and every individual’s specific circumstances.
Take deep breaths, re-centre yourself and really make sure that you focus on your needs and put yourself first. This is not the time for martyrdom. Please pay particular attention to your health as this underlying stress will impact on your immune system and generally wear you down.
The “love of your life” who got away may come back into the picture if you want it.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 2ND JUNE 2010
I think you’ve been fighting the brave fight, putting on a brave, if neutral face while all the while you are seething underneath. You can’t believe the crap you have to put up with from nutty family members, unreasonable (not to mention inefficient) work colleagues, tiresome and demanding partners…it’s enough to send anyone around the twist.
As solid and grounded as Capricorns are, there is a rumbling that can’t be quelled. You’ve held back the tide long enough but you’re just about to retire from the fight and let it all wash over you. Over the next few months your growing desire to make changes to your life will continue and it is on the cards (or I should say in the stars) that you are going to take your life to a whole new level. This will include changing your domestic conditions, and any home and family structures that aren’t to your satisfaction. You are going to put yourself and your emotional needs first for a change and set course on a new direction entirely. This will be begin to crystallize in the next few months with the full ramifications not being apparent until early next year.
Whilst there is kudos in being a stalwart, nobody likes a bitter, twisted and frustrated soul which is the outcome of unfulfilled needs. You are more aware than most that you are no longer the person you were a few years back, you have progressed and developed so no matter how hard the call or how big the fallout, this must be paramount in your decision making.
You’ve had all of this year (at the very least) to look long and hard at your situation and see who is blocking your progress (and where) and now you plan to do something about it.
So how do you quantify frustration and sadness in material terms? You can’t, you must just follow your destiny.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 26TH MAY 2010
The big news this week is Uranus entering Aries on or around Friday (depending on where you live in the world) which has not occurred since 1927 - so it is highly unlikely that you will have experienced its impact on your 4th house previously.
I’ll address the full ramifications of that in the June monthly horoscopes but know that Uranus is the planet of abrupt and unexpected change and although this won’t become obvious to you straight away (I’ll explain why next month) the time for change in the way you deal with your home environment, family and values is nigh.
Try as you may you’ve fought against the tide but admit to yourself in your private moments that you are losing the battle. What are you still fighting for as change is upon you whether you want it or not.
If you welcome some events you can work with them rather than against them and this is certainly one of those times. Yes, there is discomfort and adjustment along with the change and as all psychologists will tell you change of ANY description leads to stress. But change signifies growth and new order not necessarily a bad thing although what constitutes a positive change is very subjective. You will certainly crave more personal freedom and excitement in your domestic and family life than you are currently experiencing which may constitute a change of residence (or two, or...).
There should be no doubt about you travelling during this period and it may well be difficult to stay in one place for too long. You become the wanderer and if compelled to remain in one locale will change residences to provide you with the sense of change and movement. There may be marital discord or even a break now which means selling the house or the house could even burn down!
Think of the song “wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home” and the riddle “where is home? Is it where I was born, where my toothbrush is or where my heart is? Once you have learned the answer to that riddle you will have learned the lesson from this seven plus year transit.
Hint: The correct answer is home is always where the heart is.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 19TH MAY 2010
You are in a vulnerable position right now. Why? Because you are riddled with sorrow or anguish which is ripe for unscrupulous folk to march right on in and take advantage of….which is why I caution you to be prudent with all your interactions. If not, there will be gossip around which you won’t even be aware of until it is too late or the damage is already done.
When you are feeling this emotionally displaced you give your fragility away with the things you say, the way you move and the message you send. You are radiating a fragile seductiveness right now and people will be lining up to rescue you from your despair although by the same token there is an air of manipulation surrounding you and covert arrangements are being made without your approval or even awareness it would seem.
All this appear to focus in your emotional realm as your working life is moving along pleasingly, which is a relief after the hiccups of the past, in fact you are making good progress.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 12TH MAY 2010
This is a hard one to call because for another month at least you could equally be having a crazy financial time or undergoing some profound change – or a “death” of a relationship. The 8th is not a pleasant house – it’s the emotional baggage house that stirs up irrational fears, unfounded jealousies and even paranoia.
But on the bright side it also rules comebacks and rising victorious from the ashes (think Capricorn Tiger Woods), and fresh starts.
You are on a mission now, moving forward towards the BIG PRIZE and you are less tolerant of any interruptions to your progress than other members of the zodiac. Impediments to your chosen path are not taken lightly but that said, the world seems like a rocky place to you at the moment and any form of constancy has its virtues. It continues to be difficult though to keep plastering a smile on your face and function normally when your immediate infrastructure is …well…less than ideal.
Shared resources are in the mix also and this should hopefully mean money coming your way or being sorted out and optimistically your romantic life should be on the up and up also.
Well at least you are communicating warmly nowadays.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 5TH MAY 2010
Everyone needs people on-side even Cappy’s. In spite of your ability to go it alone and doing it very well, you need to ensure that your interpersonal skills don’t disadvantage you. You’re all about finding every advantage as you move up the ladder of success and you mustn’t lose sight of reality.
You life is changing, you know it and soon so will others but please be kind to people and curb your capacity to tell the unbridled truth in an unkind manner, it may backfire on you.
You are getting stronger and because of this you may feel that you are unassailable…but…think long and hard because it might not be to your advantage in the long run.
Even if you are not a politician (or ever going to be) you never know when you may still need the masses onside in the future. You have been warned.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 28TH APRIL 2010
You could be embarking on a new career or a changing of the guard but you are doing new things or finding new ways of living life and you know deep down that you must discard the previous regime in order to become the leader that you are being groomed to become.
There will be resistance and others close to you will think they know better than you but you are strong willed and strong minded and you will be able to focus your attention to achieving what you both need and want. It may still take a few months for this transition to be implemented but this week you will start the process.
You are going to take all that you’ve learnt over the past few years and use it to your advantage and you are certainly in a prime position now to know if you are on the right path or not.
I fear you will not be reticent in telling those folk where they have gone wrong or where they may no longer have a role in your life which is sure to cause pain and discomfort (at least!) but the longer you refrain from veracity the slower your transformation will be - which is to be the very best you can.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 21ST APRIL 2010
Wow, your time has just about come. You’ve been building up to this moment for quite some time and you can’t become the new you until you’ve shed the old one. You’ve been holding off for so long dying to say how you really feel and what you really think about everybody.
Your rebirth awaits and it’s a shame that inevitably it will cause pain to others and to yourself as part of that process. It’s unavoidable.
In fact some Capricorns are so fed up to the back teeth with certain arrangements that they will cut deep in revealing their true feelings.
There are some things that need to be said and you have been beyond patient up until now in waiting to say them until the time was right.
Heaven help anybody who underestimated your capabilities, treated you shabbily or didn’t play fair. If you’ve been on the wrong track, you will know this by now.
You’ll be doing a big review of every aspect of your life and then taking the appropriate action. Your kingdom awaits.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 14TH APRIL 2010
You are being groomed by the Universe for the leadership role that is your destiny. Pluto in Capricorn will bring you enormous personal power but you will feel like you are literally going through a re-birth which can manifest in many different forms.
For example they may appear to be traumatic losses but are merely a way forward (think Tiger Woods) and you may have to clear the decks first to allow your destiny to unfold.
This will include leaving behind people; jobs or structures that you feel are inhibiting your rise to power and stunting your personal growth.
Right now you are focusing on your personal, home and family life and all its associations and ramifications and at the same time taking into account your needs and happiness, and you will not hesitate to make any changes that you deem necessary.
Yes this process is tiring beyond belief and you are feeling at odds with just about everybody but please continue to rid yourself of anything this is unnecessary or has served its purpose, keep reinventing yourself and remain focused.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 7TH APRIL 2010
It’s not like you to show emotion. Usually you are somber and reserved sometimes even humorless and pessimistic and you it could be said that you would rarely lower yourself to conduct a two-way conversation. Ouch.
Well you do feel you are superior to the rest of humanity and you most probably are.
In a positive environment your spirits are up and by the same token if something is wrong, you are withdrawn and feeling quiet. Right now you are feeling zapped because things in life are not going to plan and you had it all so well mapped out!
Something has set you off kilter which has destabilized your cool, calm and collected façade. You like to maintain control and if you have to change course mid stream in order to do so you won’t hesitate.
More interestingly you are not midstream anymore which is highly unusual. Throw out the Rulebook it’s no longer “playing it by the book” anymore.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 31ST MARCH 2010
I’ve been saying this for a while, but Capricorns are feeling amorous! They are also getting themselves into pickles either from previous actions or current deeds and a number of Capricorn celebs come to mind in this respect.
If you have kids and a spouse let’s hope any external fantasies remain in your head and not acted out. You are currently transforming from a chrysalis into a cocoon phase and when the butterfly emerges, wow, it will be breathtaking and reign supreme. Currently though you’re in a semi ugly phase (that is not literal, rather metaphorical) and are getting your mojo strengthened by the minute and are not in any compromising or apologetic mood.
Letting your heart dictate your direction whilst the stuff of novels is rattling around in your head is far from realistic so remember you are a Capricorn whose very nature is PRACTICAL and act accordingly.
Why don’t you just show the world what you are capable of in other areas – like blowing them out of the water at work instead? You don’t back down on what you think, feel, or want and there will be plenty of adoring fans to line and deliver. Happy Easter!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 24TH MARCH 2010
You are indestructible, probably more so than a Taurus who is also indefatigable.
There appears to be lots of hurdles in your path and critics and circumstances that seem designed to inhibit your growth and upward direction. Do not be slowed or derailed under any circumstances. Just keep plodding away, like the goat up the rocky mountain until you reach the top.
There will always be narky people, loved ones, partners, relatives (and other family that you could do without) who hang around and try and make you feel doubtful about what you can realistically achieve whilst sucking the very life from you in the process.
I have said for some weeks that you feel that you could do better in life. Is this the life you should be living and how do you really know one way or another?
You will be remodeling your existence to suit your idea of perfection, trading up and trading out or doing a makeover on your very doorstep with your nearest and dearest. This could include a new home, new interiors and/or a better way of relating to the relatives. Gee how do you do that?
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 17TH MARCH 2010
Home is not where the heart is at the moment or if it is it’s filled with “issues” and responsibilities. What is wrong? How can it be fixed? Is it your partner, siblings, or flat-mates who are driving you around the twist?
Stop thinking and start doing something about it and life can take on a rosy hue again before you know it. Whatever will release the emotional burden that you are carrying, start the operation immediately.
Family members are driving you ratty, and it’s only by drawing on every ounce of fortitude that you’ve managed to find the necessary tolerance and forbearance required to cope.
A few calm and well chosen words will do the trip but its how you present yourself that will make all the difference between going it a deux and going it alone.
The next few weeks will be testing and don’t be in too much of a hurry for a resolution. Don’t wish too hard for what you want because you might find you didn’t want it at all (then).
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 10TH MARCH 2010
You are a serious minded sign, no-one ever called you frivolous. You take life seriously and regard it as a significant passage in which you are to excel and do the best you possible can.
You are in a growth phase that will take years to unfurl (but then Capricorn is not impatient) which will find you in a completely different space - and even place - to where you are now.
To say you will not even recognize yourself is not an exaggeration but the passage won’t be all smooth sailing. A tip, you can choose to put the motor on and get out the map and head to where you wish to go, or you can just sit back and experience the ride and see where it takes you.
After a hiatus during which you have felt wrung out from all your previous efforts just to cope, a flicker of enthusiasm and joie de vivre has crept back and you have begun to feel enthused about life again. This will help you maintain your positivity about some of the changes that will inevitably happen along the way as there will be some departures and endings and there have or will be people leaving your life.
By the same token you can now use this period to smooth over any discord and friction and sort out the basics, especially with regards to finances.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 3RD MARCH 2010
Boy do you need some comforting. Underneath that stoic exterior lays a deep disquiet and you are riddled with doubts about life as-you-know- it. You’ve taken on so many responsibilities and are now questioning what everybody will think if you show some weakening of fortitude.
You are a competitor after all and if others can manage, YOU certainly can…but..you are starting to feel almost alien you feel so removed from it all.
No-one will like you less or make fun of you if you acknowledge that you need some help or are fed up. It’s only human after all.
This week could see you bursting through the masses with a brilliant idea or alternatively be offered an amazing job that involves lots of public speaking.
Can you do it? Yes you can!
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 24TH FEBRUARY 2010
You should still be making headway in line with what Pluto in your sign has mapped out for you but will you ever be satisfied? When is enough enough, the best you can be, or not good enough?
You are still feeling a sense of disillusionment with certain folk who have been less than tolerable and you’re undecided about whether to overlook their nonsense or do something drastic about it. Thankfully your stoicism will kick in before it’s too late (you are a Cappy after all) and you understand better than anyone the phrase “more bees with honey”. You are learning that vulnerability is your strength and are slowly letting down your guard.
Giving others a peek at your underbelly and showing a warmer side to your nature will manifest unbridled support and cohesion - all for one and one for all - that serves to further boost your secret but ever present ambitions for real power.
The alternative is not recommended.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 17TH FEBRUARY 2010
Are you comparing yourself to your own personal goals or to those of your associates? Capricorns by nature are highly competitive and this causes you constant strain. So what do you do? Act on it, ignore it, or fret? Instead try to focus on all the things you have achieved and try changing your mindset and don’t waste vital energy focussing on what’s wrong with your world. Last week I warned you about unwanted attention with sexual undertones and the same applies to this week. Try and fend off any “admirers” that may not have your best interests at heart, especially whilst you are currently feeling “unfulfilled” and disillusioned.
^ TOP WEEK BEGINNING 10TH FEBRUARY 2010
Alternatively you could be being strongly affected by a powerful someone (this may have sexual or financial undertones) and unless you remain circumspect could be led astray. This could only happen if you find your current situation to be oppressive or moribund.
