The Sun is making its transit from Sagittarius into Capricorn, and remember, these ambitious sea goats are notorious for getting what they want. That’s because they have the drive, resources, and stubbornness to get there.
But we’re all going to be expected to make a little extra effort this week and take responsibility for our own needs and goals. Even for Capricorn, that may feel like an uphill climb right now. With Saturn, Capricorn’s ruler, squaring Mercury and Jupiter, there seems to be no easy or fast fix for growth.
It seems the only signs making smooth work of this season are the Venus-ruled signs of Taurus and Libra. Everyone else should be ready to face your tasks with a sense of stubborn assuredness.
It’s a slow slog through trials and tribulations that gets you where you want to be. Change does not come easy this time around.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Your anger is very likely to get the better of you if you don’t give yourself the space and time to rest and recuperate. Taking time for yourself is essential when you don’t have your emotions under control.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
How and where you take action this week is going to depend on your way of thinking about things. Don’t let the rash decisions of others influence you. Keep focused on your own ideas about what matters.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Knowing what you’re aiming for is especially important this week because you can’t rely on passion alone to drive you forward. Remember that just because something has lost its spark that doesn’t mean you should give up on it.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
While you’re struggling to quickly fix every part of your life that isn’t perfect, you may be missing out on the whole point. This week offers you an opportunity to see beyond yourself. You’re part of a community; open your eyes to the people around you.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
This week, your grand dreams and ideas receive a little jolt of reality, and that’s no fun. It will be easy to get distracted if you’re not careful. Try to focus on the practical.
VIRGOAug
. 23 – Sept. 22
Being quick to action is not a problem as long as you know your direction. Overthinking things is not going to help this week. When you’re ready to make a choice, don’t waste time, just make it.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Let your mind wander this week. A little imagination will help you solve difficult problems. You don’t always need a road map to reach your destination.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Does anyone actually believe rugged individualism is a viable option? When was the last time you did something that really mattered with zero support from anyone else? Tap your resources.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
An opportunity will come along this week — one that’s not likely to come back around if you don’t take it now. Know what your priorities are: you don’t have to take on every possibility that’s presented to you.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Something in your life is in transformation. But into what? That’s entirely up to you. It’s going to be a slow process; you’ll have plenty of time to think things over.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Kindness and compassion will reveal beauty to you. If you’re too focused on conflict and petty disputes, life’s beauty is going to pass you right by. What’s more important, to be right, or to be happy?
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Sometimes you’re forced to make hard choices. Now is one of those times. Your emotional stability is at odds with your desire to create deep and lasting social bonds. Choose wisely.
