Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

This week is ushering in a major new cycle of productivity and achievement, Capricorn. It all kicks off on the 6th when action planet Mars switches signs. The red planet has spent the last six weeks rotating through Virgo and your 9th House of Adventure and Expansion, which could have seen you spreading your wings in your search for far off vistas and new experiences. Now, however, you get to shift gear as Mars moves into Libra and your 10th House of Career and Reputation, pushing you up the great ladder with a fierce new drive. This time only comes around once every two years, so there is an open highway ahead of you, enabling you to reach a new level in life. If you’ve been hoping to make a name for yourself or get your work recognized by someone high up, this is your chance. Don’t waste it! Likewise, a VIP or other supervisor could prove helpful at this time, so don’t be shy about asking for advice or seeing if they can help open an extra door or two on your behalf.

Mars continues to take center stage as the week progresses, and it will step forward on the 8th to make a very powerful angle. On this day, Mars will reach out from your professional 10th House to make a harmonious trine with eccentric Uranus in Gemini and your 6th House of Daily Work and Routine, creating unexpected opportunities for progress and efficiency. This an especially powerful time when just about anything can happen, so the best bet is to prepare yourself for all eventualities; since Uranus rules surprises it can be more than a little difficult to guess what he’ll bring your way, but with Mars in the mix you can expect it to pack quite the punch. Things might get a little heated on the work front, but this is the good kind of friction that can lead to major progress, so don’t get daunted.

Things reach a beautiful crescendo come the 9th when the Full Moon in Aquarius lights up the heavens. This Full Moon will land in your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Assets, putting the spotlight on your money and how you make it. If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to increase your net worth it could come to you sometime in the next two weeks or so, so keep your eyes peeled for any leads on the horizon. Likewise, you might decide to do some big spending, or perhaps you decide it is time to figure out how to put the money you already have to better use, so you might consider new investment opportunities. However, you should hold off on signing on any dotted lines or making anything official until Mercury turns direct early next week on the 11th.
