Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

This is an exceptionally interesting week for you, Capricorn, with lots of shifts and changes coming your way which you are sure to feel, and while some of them aren’t exactly easy, they will be wildly influential, and there are indeed opportunities to benefit. The most important–and most jarring–event occurs on the 6th, when action planet Mars turns retrograde in Leo and your 8th House of Sex and Shared Resources. Mars only goes retrograde once every two years, but when he does it signals two months of slowed down energy, as he represents our inner firepower and drive to get things done. You’ll want to be careful about budding bonds or signing important contracts that have a specifically financial nature, like credit loans or anything dealing with debts, etc. You may have to deal with matters of the bedroom; have you been breaking down new barriers or creating new ones between you and someone else? This is a deeply transformative phase because the 8th House is rather like a phoenix rising from the ashes, so while this retrograde will bring intensity your way, you will be an entirely new Capricorn by the time the red warrior moves on again next year.

Neptune takes center stage on December 7th when it wakes up from a five-month retrograde phase in Pisces and your chatty 3rd House of Local Community and Communications. While this won’t change everything overnight, you’ll find you communicate easier and are able to get along with people with less rifts. Friendships are very important, even if they don’t seem as productive uses of your energy, but it’s still worth taking the time to invest in them. Get out and say ‘bonjour’ to people and you can be sure they’ll say it back.

Also on the 7th, romantic Venus will leave your sign and your 1st House of Action, where she has been rotating since mid-November, for another changing of the guard. You might have learned a lot of lessons about love during the last month or so, or faced some hard truths about a certain relationship, but it’s time to move on from this as Venus moves into Aquarius and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Assets for the next four weeks. This will orient your attention onto matters more tangible than emotional, but after the romantic roller coaster you’ve been on, it’s time to finally get things settled with a shift in focus. Venus can also help you boost your financial resources while she’s here, so there’s no reason not to get down to work.
