Capricorn monthly horoscope
Dec 22 – Jan 19 · Earth · Cardinal · ruled by Saturn
House of Vocation: the month ahead
The Sun in Libra
The Sun spends most of the month in your 10th house of career, so what you are known for and where you are headed is where your attention and energy naturally collect.
Inner planets
Mercury in Scorpio (your 11th house), Venus retrograde in Scorpio (your 11th house) and Mars in Leo (your 8th house) set the tone: your thinking and talk, your affections and values and your drive and desire each work through different parts of your life. Venus is retrograde, so review before you commit.
Moon phases
Last Quarter on Oct 3 in Cancer, lighting your 7th house (marriage and one-to-one bonds). New Moon on Oct 10 in Libra, lighting your 10th house (career). First Quarter on Oct 18 in Capricorn, lighting your 1st house (identity). Full Moon on Oct 26 in Taurus, lighting your 5th house (creativity).
Sky events
Sun enters Scorpio on Oct 23. Venus enters Libra on Oct 25. Venus stations retrograde on Oct 3. Pluto stations direct on Oct 16. Mercury stations retrograde on Oct 24.
The long view
Jupiter in Leo (your 8th house) expands intimacy and shared resources, while Saturn retrograde in Aries (your 4th house) asks for patience and structure in home and family.
Advice
Lean on what comes naturally to Capricorn: working patiently, responsibly and with a long game in mind. Keep an eye on coldness and workaholism, and make room for career and public image.
