Capricorn (Born December 22 to 31) - 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
2013 Overview for all Capricorns. 2013 brings a fuller social life to your world, dear Capricorn. When it comes to friendships, networking, and group associations, it's about quality and depth rather than quantity, as this area of your life is being streamlined. You also have a chance to restructure your long-term goals, as you are more discriminating and realistic about what you are capable of achieving. There is less pressure to prove yourself or to perform this year, and more joy in plugging away at what you do best. In the first half of the year, watch that you don't overload your life with additional responsibilities. Work should be quite available to you. While relationships continue to challenge you, especially with family, 2013 is a year in which you are reminded at almost every turn just how much you need others. All year, acquaintances and friends tend to support you. Jupiter's presence in your opposing sign (Cancer) from June 25th forward is likely to bring helpful, happy people into your experience, and for some of you, a partner who truly makes you feel good about yourself. Existing partnerships can bring joy as well. Especially in August, however, you will need to allow others more freedom by backing off from controlling or manipulative behavior. Experience your own freedom by giving up some of the need to control events and people. With Pluto in your sign, this can be difficult, as you are learning about your personal power, sometimes through challenging life lessons and experiences. Pluto will have the greatest impact on Caps born December 31-January 2, who will be taking a deep look within as they uncover facets of their personality that they haven't yet accepted or even acknowledged, and this can be uncomfortable at times. With the North Node in your solar eleventh house, it's especially important for you to establish yourself as a team player. Home life remains a little unsettled, and some of you can feel that your current set-up is impermanent. There can be some shuffling around, redecorating, a move, or experiences with family that leave you feeling uprooted in some way, particularly in April-May and October-November. Certainly, you can be putting more money into your family and home life this year. Overall health may be improved, communications are rewarding (you're finding your voice!), and alliances are formed or strengthened in 2013.
2013 Details.
Until June 25th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar sixth house, and you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you--perhaps even too available in that you don't know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness--this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result.
As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more "payback" you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don't watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. You more readily see mind-body connections during this cycle, and this helps you to approach health matters more holistically. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from January 30th to June 25th.
Jupiter entering Cancer on June 25th puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar seventh house and opposite your own sign. From June 2013 to July 2014, you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a year in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership; or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For most of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered a positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships, or enhances existing ones.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from June 25th to November 6th. (This transit lasts until July 2014).
July and December are especially powerful periods for strong communications, strengthened friendships, and smooth partnering. Forgiveness of someone may figure strongly now.
Jupiter transits opposition your Sun from June 25-August 10. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.
For Capricorns born December 30-31 and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 9-10 degrees Capricorn, Pluto is directly on your Sun/Ascendant in 2013. This transit acts to completely reshape your self-image. The changes inside of you are magnificent, and they spill out of you through different mannerisms, a new look, and a brand new way of presenting yourself to others. This is a time when you are reclaiming your personal power. "Life is what you make it"--you live and breathe this concept now. The things or even people that have held you back from being who you really are tend to be left behind during this transit, although the process can be difficult. Superficial attitudes or manners of self-expression no longer do it for you!
Saturn transits your solar eleventh house all year. This transit lasts until 2015. It's strongest on you until October 2013. This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group. You are becoming more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. Some friendships built on weak foundations may be left behind. As well, events or realizations during this period inspire you to question where it is that you are going. Your long-term personal goals come under Saturn's scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may come to the conclusion that your personal "circle" or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying. You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions", doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation that you devote much of your time to. These themes continue this year. Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others' lives, and consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know whom you can rely upon, and they know they can rely upon you!
For those of you born December 27-31, and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 5-10 degrees, Uranus squares your Sun and transits your solar fourth house in 2013. Your home life may be in a state of flux this year. It's possible that you move house, but even if you don't, there could be some disruptions to your domestic routine or erratic elements on the home front that you need to deal with. This transit could stimulate you to make changes that have long been overdue. For example, you might free yourself from limiting or frustrating circumstances. Your life speeds up, and decision-making can be very hasty now. You definitely feel the need for action this year, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you could feel a bit out of control at times. However, events could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. Letting go of old family conditioning or unhealthy ties to the past may be themes in 2013.
Neptune continues to transit your second house, as it has been doing for many years, but is transiting your solar third house for those of you born early in your sign. Neptune's influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
However, for those born December 22-26, Neptune is transiting your solar third house and sextiles your Sun. During this cycle, you learn to rely on your intuition. You may have some problems arising from inattention to details, practical matters, and facts and figures. Others may find you less reliable in terms of making appointments on time or remembering them at all! Some challenges putting your thoughts into words likely leads to a stronger appreciation for such things as musical lyrics, poetry, and other art forms that experiment with modes of expression. This year, you are likely to discover especially imaginative means of expressing yourself. Neptune's influence is, in fact, quite magical this year. This dreamy planet stimulates your imagination and intuition. Your words are more poetic and perhaps even inspirational. Long journeys are favored now. This is a very creative time that should not be wasted. Ideas can pay off quite well for you now. You could find that your intuition is subtly enhanced this year--you might often find yourself in the right place at the right time, probably because your hunches are more likely to be correct. This aspect softens your disposition somewhat, as you tune into your imaginative and artistic side. You may often rely on your instinctual judgment. This is a good year for self-improvement programs or efforts. The need to "get away from it all" -- for some peace and quiet now and again -- will be strong. A more sensitive--even mysterious--persona is projected this year, and this can attract pleasantly unusual circumstances (and people) into your life. You will want to reserve time alone--away from the hectic pace of life--for reflection, prayer, and meditation. Creativity runs high now.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Scorpio this year, more focus and intensity is brought to to your personality. It also stimulates you to reach out and make contact with others.
The North Node of the Moon is also transiting your solar eleventh house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others—as well as your relationship with yourself—will benefit.
Eclipses in 2013 mostly fall in your solar fifth and eleventh houses. Social activity, romance, and friendships are areas of transformation. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships. In October, a Lunar Eclipse in Aries stimulates circumstances that tell you that it's time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well in order to strike a healthier balance between your personal and professional activities.
Some conflict between domestic demands and personal goals are possible in 2013, particularly from May to November. Erratic experiences in your domestic life could affect your basic sense of security, and while you may have a strong desire to take control, you may need to let go of this need in order to move forward.
Watch your behavior carefully in August, when a significant person in your life is expressing strong needs for freedom. Avoid letting your own fears rule. Manipulative behavior is unlikely to go over well.
January and May, watch for overspending. The first two weeks of July and the month of August, partnership conflicts are very possible - choose your battles, and your words, wisely.
A positive connection between your first house and third house suggests opportunities to spread your word. Others are likely to turn to you for advice. Learning can figure strongly this year, and you are more able to express yourself effectively and with personal charisma.
A stronger feeling of connection to friends and groups is likely this year, and especially from March to September. You more determinedly pursue your personal goals and at the same time enjoy contributing to a team or group effort. You are more confident about your goals and about pursuing your dreams. You have a healthier attitude towards the past, and you more easily put unproductive attitudes behind you. You are more charismatic and might find increased success in creative fields.
A friendship is likely to bring some joy into your life. Chances are excellent that you will find a lovely confidante this year--someone to share your daily activities and thoughts with--even if this is an online friend or other casual connection. A sibling may introduce you to a new group or friend this year. Whatever the case may be, grab the chance to share your thoughts with someone who is not too close to you. You are likely to be brimming with ideas about how to go about manifesting your innermost desires and dreams. Networking is strong for you this year, especially in June and July, and opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas.

Details 2013.
Jupiter continues to transit your solar fifth house until May. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For single Capricorns, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments. Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from January 30th to May 12th.
Jupiter transits your solar sixth house from May forward, and you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you--perhaps even too available in that you don't know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness--this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result.
As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more "payback" you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don't watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. You more readily see mind-body connections during this cycle, and this helps you to approach health matters more holistically. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from May 12th to November 6th.
Saturn continues to transit your solar tenth house this year until the last week of December. This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional and/or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn's scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and what it is exactly that you have been building has come up for inspection. Some of you find yourself receiving recognition and career "rewards" at this time. If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it is a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand. Saturn's transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when you are working hard, taking on your fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of your hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. You become aware of what you have and haven't accomplished to date. You are now treated to a realistic look at what you have built and achieved. You no longer view your place in the world, your career, and your reputation with rose-colored glasses. At times you may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in your career. If this discomfort is great, it is only due to the fact that you may have been holding onto a false image of yourself. This influence is designed to slow you down a little so that you can re-assess matters and come face to face with reality.
You are no longer under the influence of Saturn's square to your Sun, however, so that you might feel less pressure this year and this can help you to apply the positive influences constructively. Much can be accomplished during this period. Although you may not see immediate results for your efforts, important groundwork can be laid for the future.
The influences of Uranus and Neptune are similar to last year, and represent long-term trends. Uranus in your solar third house indicates that you are easily bored or distracted when it comes to traditional mental pursuits. You may pick up a brand new study this year. You are more attracted to unusual ideas, fields, and concepts. Exposure to new ideas open up new worlds to you. Neptune's influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past few years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Scorpio this year, more focus and intensity is brought to to your personality. With Pluto also in your sign, you are strongly passionate and change-oriented.
The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar eleventh house until March, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others—as well as your relationship with yourself—will benefit. From March forward, the North Node's presence in your solar tenth house points you in the direction of career and responsibilities. Your greatest joys and challenges come with more determination to take charge of your professional life and your responsibilities to others.
Eclipses in 2013 mostly fall in your solar fifth and eleventh houses and your fourth and tenth houses. Social activity, romance, and friendships are areas of transformation. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships. As well, circumstances arise that tell you it's time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well in order to strike a healthier balance between your personal and professional activities.
You may be dealing with vague fears and insecurities that undermine your confidence in your mental output. Decision-making can suffer as a result. You are not completely sure what to believe or trust. Something is urging you to make changes - to let go of the past. These problems are easily ironed out, however. Ultimately, you discover that your intuition does work for you.
This can be a highly productive year. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents--the things that come easily--also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you in 2013. The details and the "little things" make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural this year. Work done behind the scenes may be revealed or incorporated into your career or public life this year. Past efforts pay off now. Benefits can come from doing behind-the-scenes work. You may find that you are more able to earn a living from what you love doing this year. Your public image is quite important to you in 2013. Being in a position of responsibility or authority is something you place a high value on. You are also valuing yourself in a realistic way, and this tends to attract positive responses and rewards from others.
2013 Overview for all Capricorns. 2013 brings a fuller social life to your world, dear Capricorn. When it comes to friendships, networking, and group associations, it's about quality and depth rather than quantity, as this area of your life is being streamlined. You also have a chance to restructure your long-term goals, as you are more discriminating and realistic about what you are capable of achieving. There is less pressure to prove yourself or to perform this year, and more joy in plugging away at what you do best. In the first half of the year, watch that you don't overload your life with additional responsibilities. Work should be quite available to you. While relationships continue to challenge you, especially with family, 2013 is a year in which you are reminded at almost every turn just how much you need others. All year, acquaintances and friends tend to support you. Jupiter's presence in your opposing sign (Cancer) from June 25th forward is likely to bring helpful, happy people into your experience, and for some of you, a partner who truly makes you feel good about yourself. Existing partnerships can bring joy as well. Especially in August, however, you will need to allow others more freedom by backing off from controlling or manipulative behavior. Experience your own freedom by giving up some of the need to control events and people. With Pluto in your sign, this can be difficult, as you are learning about your personal power, sometimes through challenging life lessons and experiences. Pluto will have the greatest impact on Caps born December 31-January 2, who will be taking a deep look within as they uncover facets of their personality that they haven't yet accepted or even acknowledged, and this can be uncomfortable at times. With the North Node in your solar eleventh house, it's especially important for you to establish yourself as a team player. Home life remains a little unsettled, and some of you can feel that your current set-up is impermanent. There can be some shuffling around, redecorating, a move, or experiences with family that leave you feeling uprooted in some way, particularly in April-May and October-November. Certainly, you can be putting more money into your family and home life this year. Overall health may be improved, communications are rewarding (you're finding your voice!), and alliances are formed or strengthened in 2013.
2013 Details.
Until June 25th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar sixth house, and you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you--perhaps even too available in that you don't know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness--this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result.
As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more "payback" you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don't watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. You more readily see mind-body connections during this cycle, and this helps you to approach health matters more holistically. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from January 30th to June 25th.
Jupiter entering Cancer on June 25th puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar seventh house and opposite your own sign. From June 2013 to July 2014, you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a year in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership; or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For most of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered a positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships, or enhances existing ones.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from June 25th to November 6th. (This transit lasts until July 2014).
July and December are especially powerful periods for strong communications, strengthened friendships, and smooth partnering. Forgiveness of someone may figure strongly now.
Jupiter transits opposition your Sun from June 25-August 10. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.
For Capricorns born December 30-31 and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 9-10 degrees Capricorn, Pluto is directly on your Sun/Ascendant in 2013. This transit acts to completely reshape your self-image. The changes inside of you are magnificent, and they spill out of you through different mannerisms, a new look, and a brand new way of presenting yourself to others. This is a time when you are reclaiming your personal power. "Life is what you make it"--you live and breathe this concept now. The things or even people that have held you back from being who you really are tend to be left behind during this transit, although the process can be difficult. Superficial attitudes or manners of self-expression no longer do it for you!
Saturn transits your solar eleventh house all year. This transit lasts until 2015. It's strongest on you until October 2013. This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group. You are becoming more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. Some friendships built on weak foundations may be left behind. As well, events or realizations during this period inspire you to question where it is that you are going. Your long-term personal goals come under Saturn's scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may come to the conclusion that your personal "circle" or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying. You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions", doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation that you devote much of your time to. These themes continue this year. Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others' lives, and consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know whom you can rely upon, and they know they can rely upon you!
For those of you born December 27-31, and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 5-10 degrees, Uranus squares your Sun and transits your solar fourth house in 2013. Your home life may be in a state of flux this year. It's possible that you move house, but even if you don't, there could be some disruptions to your domestic routine or erratic elements on the home front that you need to deal with. This transit could stimulate you to make changes that have long been overdue. For example, you might free yourself from limiting or frustrating circumstances. Your life speeds up, and decision-making can be very hasty now. You definitely feel the need for action this year, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you could feel a bit out of control at times. However, events could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. Letting go of old family conditioning or unhealthy ties to the past may be themes in 2013.
Neptune continues to transit your second house, as it has been doing for many years, but is transiting your solar third house for those of you born early in your sign. Neptune's influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
However, for those born December 22-26, Neptune is transiting your solar third house and sextiles your Sun. During this cycle, you learn to rely on your intuition. You may have some problems arising from inattention to details, practical matters, and facts and figures. Others may find you less reliable in terms of making appointments on time or remembering them at all! Some challenges putting your thoughts into words likely leads to a stronger appreciation for such things as musical lyrics, poetry, and other art forms that experiment with modes of expression. This year, you are likely to discover especially imaginative means of expressing yourself. Neptune's influence is, in fact, quite magical this year. This dreamy planet stimulates your imagination and intuition. Your words are more poetic and perhaps even inspirational. Long journeys are favored now. This is a very creative time that should not be wasted. Ideas can pay off quite well for you now. You could find that your intuition is subtly enhanced this year--you might often find yourself in the right place at the right time, probably because your hunches are more likely to be correct. This aspect softens your disposition somewhat, as you tune into your imaginative and artistic side. You may often rely on your instinctual judgment. This is a good year for self-improvement programs or efforts. The need to "get away from it all" -- for some peace and quiet now and again -- will be strong. A more sensitive--even mysterious--persona is projected this year, and this can attract pleasantly unusual circumstances (and people) into your life. You will want to reserve time alone--away from the hectic pace of life--for reflection, prayer, and meditation. Creativity runs high now.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Scorpio this year, more focus and intensity is brought to to your personality. It also stimulates you to reach out and make contact with others.
The North Node of the Moon is also transiting your solar eleventh house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others—as well as your relationship with yourself—will benefit.
Eclipses in 2013 mostly fall in your solar fifth and eleventh houses. Social activity, romance, and friendships are areas of transformation. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships. In October, a Lunar Eclipse in Aries stimulates circumstances that tell you that it's time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well in order to strike a healthier balance between your personal and professional activities.
Some conflict between domestic demands and personal goals are possible in 2013, particularly from May to November. Erratic experiences in your domestic life could affect your basic sense of security, and while you may have a strong desire to take control, you may need to let go of this need in order to move forward.
Watch your behavior carefully in August, when a significant person in your life is expressing strong needs for freedom. Avoid letting your own fears rule. Manipulative behavior is unlikely to go over well.
January and May, watch for overspending. The first two weeks of July and the month of August, partnership conflicts are very possible - choose your battles, and your words, wisely.
A positive connection between your first house and third house suggests opportunities to spread your word. Others are likely to turn to you for advice. Learning can figure strongly this year, and you are more able to express yourself effectively and with personal charisma.
A stronger feeling of connection to friends and groups is likely this year, and especially from March to September. You more determinedly pursue your personal goals and at the same time enjoy contributing to a team or group effort. You are more confident about your goals and about pursuing your dreams. You have a healthier attitude towards the past, and you more easily put unproductive attitudes behind you. You are more charismatic and might find increased success in creative fields.
A friendship is likely to bring some joy into your life. Chances are excellent that you will find a lovely confidante this year--someone to share your daily activities and thoughts with--even if this is an online friend or other casual connection. A sibling may introduce you to a new group or friend this year. Whatever the case may be, grab the chance to share your thoughts with someone who is not too close to you. You are likely to be brimming with ideas about how to go about manifesting your innermost desires and dreams. Networking is strong for you this year, especially in June and July, and opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas.
Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) - 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:

Superficial attitudes or manners of self-expression no longer do it for you!
Saturn transits your solar eleventh house all year. This transit lasts until 2015. This can point to the strengthening of ties with a special friend or group. You are becoming more selective about how you spend your time and with whom you spend your time. Some friendships built on weak foundations may be left behind. As well, events or realizations during this period inspire you to question where it is that you are going. Your long-term personal goals come under Saturn's scrutiny. How you fit in with others, your affiliations with people and groups, and your peers all become serious matters in your eyes. You may come to the conclusion that your personal "circle" or your networks are superficial or somehow unsatisfying. You might feel some disdain for the superficial workings of casual friendships, beginning to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about "going through the motions", doing and saying the right things, and so forth. Alternatively, you might meet someone with whom you establish a serious friendship, or you might become a member of a group or affiliation that you devote much of your time to. These themes continue this year. Weeding out what seems now to be superfluous social associations from your life is very likely at this time as you become more serious about what you want, on a personal level, from your life. You take a hard look at the role you play in others' lives, and consider exactly what it is that satisfies you and contributes to your happiness, beyond marriage, romance, career, religion, and so forth. At some point through this journey, you should begin to find ways to bring definition and articulation to your innermost wishes and hopes for your personal path. A more solid sense of belonging might be experienced now. You know whom you can rely upon, and they know they can rely upon you!
For those of you born January 1-3, and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 10-13 degrees, Uranus squares your Sun and transits your solar fourth house in 2013. Your home life may be in a state of flux this year. It's possible that you move house, but even if you don't, there could be some disruptions to your domestic routine or erratic elements on the home front that you need to deal with. This transit could stimulate you to make changes that have long been overdue. For example, you might free yourself from limiting or frustrating circumstances. Your life speeds up, and decision-making can be very hasty now. You definitely feel the need for action this year, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test your patience, and you could feel a bit out of control at times. However, events could stimulate you to try new approaches and they certainly act to cut boredom. Your creativity is stimulated this year, but so is your excitability and your need for freedom. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious. Letting go of old family conditioning or unhealthy ties to the past may be themes in 2013.
For those of you born January 4-10 and those with a Capricorn Ascendant of 14-20 degrees, Uranus continues to transit your solar third house, suggesting that you may be easily bored or distracted when it comes to traditional mental pursuits. You may pick up a brand new study this year. You are more attracted to unusual ideas, fields, and concepts. Exposure to new ideas open up new worlds to you.
Neptune continues to transit your second house, as it has been doing for many years. Neptune's influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Scorpio this year, more focus and intensity is brought to to your personality. It also stimulates you to reach out and make contact with others.
The North Node of the Moon is also transiting your solar eleventh house until August, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others—as well as your relationship with yourself—will benefit. From August forward, the North Node's presence in your solar tenth house points you in the direction of career and responsibilities. Your greatest joys and challenges come with more determination to take charge of your professional life and your responsibilities to others.
Eclipses in 2013 mostly fall in your solar fifth and eleventh houses and your fourth and tenth houses. Social activity, romance, and friendships are areas of transformation. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships. As well, circumstances arise that tell you it's time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well in order to strike a healthier balance between your personal and professional activities.
Some conflict between domestic demands and personal goals are possible in 2013, particularly from May to November. Erratic experiences in your domestic life could affect your basic sense of security, and while you may have a strong desire to take control, you may need to let go of this need in order to move forward.
Watch your behavior carefully in August, when a significant person in your life is expressing strong needs for freedom. Avoid letting your own fears rule. Manipulative behavior is unlikely to go over well.
January and May, watch for overspending. The first two weeks of July and the month of August, partnership conflicts are very possible - choose your battles, and your words, wisely.
A positive connection between your first house and third house suggests opportunities to spread your word. Others are likely to turn to you for advice. Learning can figure strongly this year, and you are more able to express yourself effectively and with personal charisma.
A stronger feeling of connection to friends and groups is likely this year, and especially from March to September. You more determinedly pursue your personal goals and at the same time enjoy contributing to a team or group effort. You are more confident about your goals and about pursuing your dreams. You have a healthier attitude towards the past, and you more easily put unproductive attitudes behind you. You are more charismatic and might find increased success in creative fields.
A friendship is likely to bring some joy into your life. Chances are excellent that you will find a lovely confidante this year--someone to share your daily activities and thoughts with--even if this is an online friend or other casual connection. A sibling may introduce you to a new group or friend this year. Whatever the case may be, grab the chance to share your thoughts with someone who is not too close to you. You are likely to be brimming with ideas about how to go about manifesting your innermost desires and dreams. Networking is strong for you this year, especially in June and July, and opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas.
Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) - 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
2013 Overview for all Capricorns. 2013 brings a fuller social life to your world, dear Capricorn. When it comes to friendships, networking, and group associations, it's about quality and depth rather than quantity, as this area of your life is being streamlined. You also have a chance to restructure your long-term goals, as you are more discriminating and realistic about what you are capable of achieving. There is less pressure to prove yourself or to perform this year, and more joy in plugging away at what you do best. In the first half of the year, watch that you don't overload your life with additional responsibilities. Work should be quite available to you. While relationships continue to challenge you, especially with family, 2013 is a year in which you are reminded at almost every turn just how much you need others. All year, acquaintances and friends tend to support you. Jupiter's presence in your opposing sign (Cancer) from June 25th forward is likely to bring helpful, happy people into your experience, and for some of you, a partner who truly makes you feel good about yourself. Existing partnerships can bring joy as well. Especially in August, however, you will need to allow others more freedom by backing off from controlling or manipulative behavior. Experience your own freedom by giving up some of the need to control events and people. With Pluto in your sign, this can be difficult, as you are learning about your personal power, sometimes through challenging life lessons and experiences. Pluto will have the greatest impact on Caps born December 31-January 2, who will be taking a deep look within as they uncover facets of their personality that they haven't yet accepted or even acknowledged, and this can be uncomfortable at times. With the North Node in your solar eleventh house, it's especially important for you to establish yourself as a team player. Home life remains a little unsettled, and some of you can feel that your current set-up is impermanent. There can be some shuffling around, redecorating, a move, or experiences with family that leave you feeling uprooted in some way, particularly in April-May and October-November. Certainly, you can be putting more money into your family and home life this year. Overall health may be improved, communications are rewarding (you're finding your voice!), and alliances are formed or strengthened in 2013.
Details 2013.
Jupiter continues to transit your solar fifth house until May. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For single Capricorns, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments. Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from January 30th to May 12th.
Jupiter transits your solar sixth house from May forward, and you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you--perhaps even too available in that you don't know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness--this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result.
As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more "payback" you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don't watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. You more readily see mind-body connections during this cycle, and this helps you to approach health matters more holistically. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate.
The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from May 12th to November 6th.
Saturn continues to transit your solar tenth house this year until the last week of December. This cycle represents a time in your life in which you build a secure foundation in your professional and/or most public life. Your standing in society comes under Saturn's scrutiny. You have found yourself in the spotlight, and what it is exactly that you have been building has come up for inspection. Some of you find yourself receiving recognition and career "rewards" at this time. If this transit occurs in early adulthood, it is a time when you truly begin to face your duties as a career person. Although the tenth house is a house of ambition, you do not focus on where you are going as much as you focus on where you stand. Saturn's transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when you are working hard, taking on your fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of your hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. You become aware of what you have and haven't accomplished to date. You are now treated to a realistic look at what you have built and achieved. You no longer view your place in the world, your career, and your reputation with rose-colored glasses. At times you may feel exposed, publicly scrutinized, or under fire in your career. If this discomfort is great, it is only due to the fact that you may have been holding onto a false image of yourself. This influence is designed to slow you down a little so that you can re-assess matters and come face to face with reality.
You are no longer under the influence of Saturn's square to your Sun, however, so that you might feel less pressure this year and this can help you to apply the positive influences constructively. Much can be accomplished during this period. Although you may not see immediate results for your efforts, important groundwork can be laid for the future.
The influences of Uranus and Neptune are similar to last year, and represent long-term trends. Uranus in your solar third house indicates that you are easily bored or distracted when it comes to traditional mental pursuits. You may pick up a brand new study this year. You are more attracted to unusual ideas, fields, and concepts. Exposure to new ideas open up new worlds to you. Neptune's influence in the second house has had the effect of changing your value system over the past few years. You may have been careless with your money during this long-term cycle that continues again this year. Some financial insecurity may have been part of the picture. Watching out for scams or risky speculative investments has been necessary, and might continue to be a concern this year. Money continues to be earned in the communications industry and through inventive ideas.
With your ruler, Saturn, in Scorpio this year, more focus and intensity is brought to to your personality. With Pluto also in your sign, you are strongly passionate and change-oriented.
The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar eleventh house until March, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others—as well as your relationship with yourself—will benefit. From March forward, the North Node's presence in your solar tenth house points you in the direction of career and responsibilities. Your greatest joys and challenges come with more determination to take charge of your professional life and your responsibilities to others.
Eclipses in 2013 mostly fall in your solar fifth and eleventh houses and your fourth and tenth houses. Social activity, romance, and friendships are areas of transformation. The need to be appreciated by others, and the need for togetherness with others, comes into play. A love affair may begin or end under this influence. New contacts with others may also occur. You are learning to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. While you are learning how to give more of yourself creatively and romantically when appropriate, you are also learning about letting go of the attachment to the drama of personal relationships and the ego in order to learn the true value of the team when appropriate. You are learning to cultivate true friendships. As well, circumstances arise that tell you it's time to take steps to improve your family and home life. You may need to review and change your career goals as well in order to strike a healthier balance between your personal and professional activities.
You may be dealing with vague fears and insecurities that undermine your confidence in your mental output. Decision-making can suffer as a result. You are not completely sure what to believe or trust. Something is urging you to make changes - to let go of the past. These problems are easily ironed out, however. Ultimately, you discover that your intuition does work for you.
This can be a highly productive year. Your sometimes Herculean efforts, paying close attention to performance and to details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents--the things that come easily--also meet with reward and acceptance. Sometimes in life, those with their nose to the grindstone can be overlooked. Not so for you in 2013. The details and the "little things" make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural this year. Work done behind the scenes may be revealed or incorporated into your career or public life this year. Past efforts pay off now. Benefits can come from doing behind-the-scenes work. You may find that you are more able to earn a living from what you love doing this year. Your public image is quite important to you in 2013. Being in a position of responsibility or authority is something you place a high value on. You are also valuing yourself in a realistic way, and this tends to attract positive responses and rewards from others.
