Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

This week ushers in several important changes, Capricorn, so get ready for a shift in focus. First things first, life is about to get quite a bit more social on the 30th as Mercury switches signs after an ambitious tour through Libra and your professionally oriented 10th House, and moves on to Scorpio and your outgoing 11th House of Social Groups and Global Networks for an extended visit. This transit is much more about social and platonic relationships than anything else, so go see what everyone is up to and enjoy yourself as part of your chosen tribe. You can make a lot of wonderful new connections now, while also enjoying the ones already in your life. Bear in mind, however, that Mercury will turn retrograde here on October 24th for three weeks, so you may come to realize that certain social groups no longer align with your values, and perhaps it is time to go off and seek out new communities. You may also experience more conflict within certain group dynamics, but that won’t arrive until the retrograde cycle; in the meantime, focus on enjoying this change of pace and go circulate! You deserve to spend time with people who really matter.

Speaking of people who matter, there is another important change on the 3rd when Venus, the Goddess of Love and Money, turns retrograde in Scorpio and your outgoing 11th House, putting a bit of a damper on your love life. That being said, the 11th House is usually more casual territory, so you may notice this impacting your social life more than your romantic connections; this could mean you find less fulfillment in your usual connections and social circles, but it could also mean that some signals get mixed and people you thought were firmly in the friend zone are trying to enter new territory. The 11th House also rules technology, so if you are dating and using apps to do so, you may feel like your options are less than stellar, or like nothing seems to go anywhere; frankly, Venus retrograde is not a good time for beginning relationships so that should be avoided at all costs. It is important to note, however, that Venus will return to Libra and your 10th House of Career on the 25th, and will finish her retrograde cycle there on November 13th, the same day Mercury will also turn direct, so themes will change in the future.

Last but not least, come the 4th, the primal Sun in Libra and your ambitious 10th House is forming its annual opposition to sober Saturn, currently in Aries, and your 4th House of Home. Perhaps you’re plowing away at a work project, making major progress, when a family member calls you with an emergency, or perhaps you’re already stretched thin at the office, and then a roommate causes some extra problems and you just about blow your lid from all the stress. You don’t need to worry that this will be a long-lasting vibration, but it might leave your Sunday feeling anything but restful.
