December 22 to January 20

A cardinal earth sign of negative polarity ruled by Saturn. Key Phrase: 'I Use'

Capricorn is represented by the symbol of the mountain goat, which climbs  slowly, steady, and surefooted to the peak. Ever cautious, using every rock necessary, rarely looking back, and never deterred by things that stand in the way of their climb to the top.  Capricorns  are ambitious. They have the ability to use any and all tools at their disposal to ensure success in their endeavors. Their extreme capacity for hard work is linked with their notion that success means security. Capricorns have excellent intuitions and use them in their struggle to achieve personal independence and economic security.  The sun in Capricorn is old when young and young when old. (What could be better?)

Forecast: 2007 to 2008

Are you READY — I mean, are you really ready? Pluto is moving in with you!! From January 2008 until June 2008 you will get a sneak preview as Pluto makes its' debut appearance into the sign of Capricorn. In June 2008 Pluto retrogrades back into the sign of Sagittarius, and in November 2008, Pluto takes up permanent residency in your sign until 2024. Pluto is about power and Capricorn is about ambition and achieving goals. The next 16 years will reveal your ultimate potential and show your true capabilities. You will often be placed in leadership roles. In true Capricorn fashion, you will meet adversities head on, rarely look back, and be absolutely confident of achieving success.

Spiritual Neptune is right next door in the sign of Aquarius. Neptune is about having faith and believing in yourself.  A good neighbor to have when you need to rely on your inner strength.

Uranus moved into Pisces in December 2003, and will stay until 2011. From the spiritual sign of Pisces, Uranus will present you with many opportunities to be artistically inspirational. Your dreams can become reality, if you let them. You need only to trust your instincts and believe in yourself.

Practical Saturn, your ruler, entered the sign of Virgo in September 2007, and will remain until July 2010. Saturn is about responsibility and hard work. Virgo is about efficiency and doing things right. Saturn in Virgo is very meticulous and what you build now, will stand the test of time.  The Sun in Capricorn is always ready to live up to their obligations with courage and strength of character. Saturn in Virgo trines your Capricorn Sun, ensuring that you make significant progress along the path of life you have chosen to take.

Optimistic Jupiter enters the serious sign of Capricorn in December 2007. This is the beginning of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle, a time for you to expand your horizons and break down the barriers, that keep you from realizing your full potential. Jupiter transiting your sun sign, will open your mind to many new possibilities, and you will have choices to make. You will gain new insight on how to expand your positive qualities, and diminish the negative. Jupiter will open new roads to travel. Take a chance, try something new and go in the direction you have wanted to for a long time, but never dared. Do not limit yourself under this transit, experience life to the fullest, learn how to be free!

2008 is a significant year for Capricorns, Pluto and Jupiter conjunct and Saturn trine your Sun. Pluto will put you in a position of authority. Jupiter will see you do not abuse your power, keep all your dealings ethical and Saturn will see you get recognition for your efforts.
