Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

This week can bring a renewed sense of creativity and an eagerness to connect with like-minded souls. There is a welcome shift on the 27th when your ruler, karmic Saturn, turns direct in Pisces and your social 3rd House of Local Community, opening up lines of communication that might have been shut off while it spent the last few months in retrograde motion. If formulating your ideas has been difficult during this time, or simply getting your message across has seemed all but impossible, know that these matters should ease up with Saturn’s shift. You can walk the talk and talk the walk now that Saturn has taught you its necessary lessons, so move forward with confidence.

Speaking of retrogrades, connecting with people may have been rather difficult lately thanks to the fact that Mercury has been asleep at the wheel in Scorpio and your 11th House of Social Groups and Global Networks for the last few weeks. Fortunately, come the 29th, Mercury will be turning direct and getting back to work. It will take a week or two for Mercury to get back to its usual speed, but the good news is that people will be more receptive to your ideas moving forward, and conversely you’ll be able to wow ‘em with an epic pitch on the fly, so don’t fear sticking your foot in your mouth because the time for that is over. People will want to surround you in the coming weeks and enjoy your company, so don’t hide yourself away. It’s time to circulate!

On the 30th, Venus will reach out from the last degree of Scorpio to connect with dreamy Neptune in your Pisces in your buzzy 3rd House, putting the focus on the people in your immediate life and how you communicate with them. If you’ve been orbiting in and out of a social group, or feeling like you haven’t quite found the perfect place for you to belong, the planets could make it especially clear to you today. Neptune can easily dissolve bonds, but because the energy between Neptune and Venus is friendly, you don’t need to worry that something meant to stay will suddenly disappear. If anything, the only thing that might dissolve is the “friend” line between you and someone else.

Venus will leave Scorpio before the 30th ends and move into Sagittarius and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious until December 24th. This is the time to clear your mental decks on any old romantic baggage or toxic behavior. By the time Venus enters your sign, you’ll be in perfect shape to receive her beautiful bounty, but until then it might feel like romance has exited your life. Consider this to be an emotional detox, and the more use you make of it, the more fun you can have when Venus is occupying more exciting territory.
