Caution: mixed signals ahead! This week, a trio of planetsMars, Neptune and Mercuryhuddle together in Pisces and your third house of communication. Mars is aggressive, giving you the drive to debate and assert yourself with extra oomph. This could cause more than one confrontation for you, Capricorn, so think twice before you make any incendiary remarks. Neptune, on the other hand, tends to be passive and prone to secrecy. You may be struck with major pangs of guilt for being so forthright or find yourself compelled to cover things up at the oddest moments. And Mercury just makes you overanalyze everything. As your thoughts will be racing a mile a minute this week, its important that you stop and breathe. Head to a yoga class, take fresh air breaks and go on mini walks between tasks (without talking on your cell phone, please), download a meditation track and just close your eyes at your desk for thirty seconds while it plays. These little resets will go a long way to keep you centered. This trifecta of planets could affect your partnerships as well, particularly the platonic ones like creative collaborators, BFFs, and people youre doing business with. Its all too easy to misread peoples signal this week, so make no snap judgments, Capricorn. Tension may be amplified, especially if you are overly pushy or arent forthcoming in your communication style. But used in the right balance, the Mars-Neptune-Mercury combo could give you major magnetism and appeal. Strategically drop an idea into the conversation (Mercury) and speak about it passionately so peoples attention perks up (Mars); then, pull back and leave them wondering and wanting more (Neptune). You might just be inking a deal before the week is through. On Sunday the 10th, the new moon in Aquarius energizes your second house of income. The focus turns to one of your signs favorite subjects: abundance! How can you amp up your earnings by the corresponding full moon on July 22? If youre on the hunt for a new job, spend Sunday tweaking and submitting your resume, getting your LinkedIn profile up to snuff, and shopping for an interview outfit. Maybe you just want to move up the ladder at your existing job. How can you pitch the idea of a promotion to the powers that be? Strategize. If theres any additional training required, enroll yourself in the requisite course so you can be completely confident when its time to make your big ask. If youre the one who signs your own paychecks (as many enterprising Capricorns are), this new moon gets the wheels turning for a business expansion. Finding a steady stream of income is important for you, so target clients or customers who will sign on as regulars; you might even design a package deal to woo them. On the personal front, this new moon directs you to stop and smell the roses. Where has life grown overly complex, interfering with your ability to relax and be sensual? Prune the wild overgrowth, Capricorn, and follow the rule of KISS: Keep It Simple Sweetheart.

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.
