Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Beware mixed signals early this week, Capricorn. Mercury and Venus are conjoining in your 11th House of Social Networks and Global Technology, which would normally be a great day to spend with friends or do some swiping to see who you can match with one whichever app you choose, but Venus is currently retrograde, and is throwing a big wrench in the romantic works for the moment. Someone you’ve always considered a friend could give you the impression they think of you in more intimate terms, or perhaps someone sends you a message that gets your sensors up, but with Venus asleep at the wheel, something is likely to be off about this situation, or perhaps you are missing relevant information. You could also match with someone with an amazing profile, only for them to turn out to be a dud in real life. Whatever the situation, don’t get carried away with potentials, and only deal with realities.

The 7th ushers in a more exciting and potentially lucrative alignment as Mars in your big-money 8th House sextile Uranus in your productive 6th House. The 8th House doesn’t deal with regular pay like your basic income, so this won’t arrive in the form of a raise, but will likely result in a one-time payout that feels like a wonderful windfall, perhaps from a surprising new assignment or opportunity that comes from out of the blue. Remember that Uranus is the planet of surprises so you likely won’t see this opportunity coming until it is looking you right in the face, so be prepared to put your best foot forward and you’ll be glad you did down the line when the money starts pouring in.

The energy reaches a special crescendo on the 10th when the New Moon in Libra illuminates the heavens and your 10th House of Career and Ambition. This lunation will set off a fresh wave of energy that is going to propel you towards your goals, so if you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels lately, it is time to finally start gaining some ground. This same sector rules the VIPs and other impressive people in your life, so don’t be shy about asking for a few pointers or a bit of advice, or even a boost up the ladder, because you never know who can help open doors for you. By the time the Libra Full Moon rolls around in six months you could be in a whole new professional stratosphere.

The 10th also includes a potent square between Mars and Venus retrograde, which could set off some combustible fireworks. Venus in the 11th House wants to party and keep things casual, while Mars in the 8th wants to take things seriously and focus on building deep bonds, so you may feel pulled in several different directions. Don’t force yourself to feel something that you don’t, and don’t allow anyone else to put you in a defined position that you don’t want to be in!
