Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

You can experience a few successes this week if you know where to look for them, Capricorn, so this will require a bit of nuance and foresight, but you can come out on top if you try. On the 4th, the skies will sparkle with a supportive sextile between Jupiter and Venus, which is one of the loveliest alignments we can experience in astrology. Jupiter is currently in your big-money 8th House of Shared Resources and Deep Bonding, where it is trying to attract exciting opportunities for transformation and growth into your life, not to mention a bit of pleasure. Venus, meanwhile, is in Libra and your 10th House of Career and Professional Reputation, which just so happens to be your natural domain, so you should feel rather in tune with this energy. However, there is one fly in the ointment to beware of, namely that Venus is currently retrograde.

This doesn’t have to automatically be a bad thing, though! With Venus retrograde in the 10th House, you want to avoid showboating or trying to attract unnecessary attention to yourself, as it may backfire or simply not pan out in the way that you would hope, and people may simply not be inclined to be supportive of your efforts. That being said, this can be great for working away behind the scenes on a project that could provide you with a lot of rewards in the future, so if you’re prepared to work for delayed gratification, then you can emerge from this cycle just fine. Venus and Jupiter will actually sextile one more time in the coming weeks when Venus is direct, so you are likely to see more fruits for your labors at that time.

Also on the 4th, messenger Mercury will conjoin the Sun in Scorpio and your 11th House of Social Networks and Global Technology. This is a great time for touching base with old friends or seeing what you might have missed while you’ve been busy elsewhere, but remember that Mercury is still retrograde so avoid trying to make new acquaintances or joining new groups, because Mercury wants you to focus on the people already in your life. Likewise, someone from the past could appear to team up on a project or with an amazing proposition, but take your time before signing any dotted lines and be sure to read the fine print.

Finally, on the 5th, Mars enters its pre-shadow phase which will lead up to its eventual retrograde cycle beginning in January, but before that time arrives, you may notice that the pace of life seems to slow down, as Mars begins to dim its go-go-go spirit. That being the case, don’t be at all surprised if 2026 seems to take forever to wind down, rather than racing to the finish line as some years do. This time, there is absolutely no need to rush to December 31st!
