Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

This week is moving along at a fast pace one moment, Capricorn, then switches into the slow lane the next. The energy picks up on the 18th when we witness a beautiful New Moon in Pisces illuminating your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications. Whether you’ve been standing still lately or bouncing around like nobody’s business, this transit could offer you the chance to do a bit of traveling and see more of the world. By the time the corresponding Pisces Full Moon rolls around in six months, you could be in a much better place, literally and figuratively. This area of your chart also offers you the chance to start getting more involved with your local neighborhood, as the 3rd House indeed deals with community; this is also great if you are someone who works with either the written word or communication, and if not then you can still look forward to more things happening right outside your front door. This lunation will include a special sextile to Uranus in your fun-loving 5th House, so don’t be scared to follow your heart wherever it leads you.

It seems you’ve experienced a social whirlwind for the last month while the Sun has been touring your 3rd House, but there is a shift as the Sun waves goodbye to this busy sector on the 20th and slips into Aries and your domestic 4th House of Family and Foundations. The next month is really about nesting and tending to matters on the home front, as opposed to spending all your time focused on working your way up the career ladder or chasing after someone who gets a fire burning in you. That being said, romance doesn’t have to be completely kaput either; how about you do a few things to add some flare to Chez Cap? A few nice candles and some silk sheets can go a long way to making you feel more in touch with your sensual side during these rather difficult times.

Also on the 20th, things become a little less hectic and a little more efficient thanks to the fact that messenger Mercury is turning direct after hitting the snooze button in your 3rd House since February 26th. Mercury naturally rules the 3rd House, so the energy was especially off, and it wouldn’t be one bit surprising if it felt all but impossible to get a read on people during this time. Happily, you can look forward to things making sense again and Mercury resumes correct course and powers forward; it’s time to go, so don’t be scared to hit the gas! Of course, it will take a week or so for Mercury to get back up to its usual speed, but there will be a change for the better right from the beginning. This is especially helpful for any communication-based projects, like important conversations or contractual matters, so now you can come to the table and negotiate without fear.
