Get ready for another popularity spike. Tuesdays new moon in Scorpio and your eleventh house of groups also happens to be a solar eclipse. Unforeseen opportunities appear, as eclipses are known for revealing shadows. Dont be so certain that you dont fit in with that group or that another crew is the only one in which you belong. The eclipse could reshuffle the decks in your social life, leaving you ensconced among a totally different entourage. You dont necessarily have to leave one community to join another. The eclipse could also bring a sudden expansion, allowing you to widen the radius of your inner circle. Network, network, network. On Wednesday, social Mercury retrogrades back into Scorpio, where it will remain until turning direct on November 26. Since retrogrades stir up the past, the Mercury-eclipse combo could reunite you with a group youd strayed from or help you to seamlessly bring together your tried-and-true crew with your evolving posse of new friends. Its a great week to plan a reunion, perhaps getting your old pals together during the upcoming Thanksgiving break. This eclipse could also launch an online or technology-based idea into orbit. You might just come up with a hit for a prosperous mobile app or e-commerce site mid-week. You might meet the perfect partner for a project, or find love through a social networking or dating site. One caveat: Mercury retrograde phases are known for causing snafus with digital data. If you have a web venture to launch, youd be best off planning the debut this week, but doing the official unveiling when Mercury is fully direct in early December. Give yourself ample time for the getting-to-know-you phase with anyone you meet this week, as you might not have a totally clear read on them until after November 26. The most invigorating news of the week comes on Saturday when ambitious Mars lands in Capricorn until Christmas Day. Mars hasnt visited your sign since December 2010, and youre long overdue for a hit of the warrior planets firebrand motivation. If youve been slacking or in a slump, its time to wheel and steer yourself back to the seas of success. Mars helps you promote your talents, pump up your popularity, and rebuild your reputation on an even stronger foundation. Youll want to present yourself as bold and capable, erring on the side of being a little cocky rather than coming across as meek. Hello, dynamo! Theres plenty of fuel in your tanks and now is the time to take on a grand endeavor. If it seems a little out of your league, youll know that youre on the right path.

General Characteristics of Capricorn

Serious Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of tough lessons and wisdom. As a result, many Capricorns are "old souls" who play by the rules and follow tradition. Accustomed to regular butt-kickings from Saturn, you often see life as an uphill battle, with the ultimate reward arriving only through suffering and sacrifice. Ambitious Capricorn is symbolized by a mountain goat climbing up a rocky hill, taking one cautious step at a time. And that's exactly how patient Caps like to do everything. You'll skip the good stuff today if it means getting the reward tomorrow. That's why your sign has more trophies and loyal friends than any other--you stay strong through the hard times. Hardworking Caps are devoted to their friends and families, and people count on you for support. You always keep your word. Remember to let yourself have fun, too! Life doesn't always have to be a struggle. It's okay to enjoy your victories, even if you didn't work hard to win them. Lighten up and share your wacky, down-to-earth humor. When you get moody, let your family and closest friends be there for you--just as you always are for them.
