Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
JUNE 2008
It’s time to get in shape, Capricorn. June begins with a focus on your sixth house of health, fitness and organization. Normally, you don’t need help with these things, being a bit of a minimalist type who’s relatively health-conscious. However, Jupiter, the planet of excess and revelry, has been visiting Capricorn since December, Jupiter making 2008 an exciting, indulgent, year.
If anyone deserves a year that feels like one long party, it’s you, Cap. You could stand to loosen up a few buttons—and you’ll be the first to admit it. However, if your edges have gotten a teensy bit dulled, or your life has gotten too unstructured, a little routine is in order. On June 3, a New Moon falls in your sixth house, helping you launch any efforts to get back on task.
Reconnecting with old colleagues is a great idea now, too. Mercury, planet of communication and technology, is retrograde (backward) in your sixth house until June 20. Send updates to work contacts and old connections, or create an updated profile on LinkedIn.com. If you notice your workspace is cluttered with “stuff,” even defunct old files, sort and purge until things are back to their old “four-star general” order. You should feel like Master and Commander of your desk or workspace again by the time you’re done!
The sixth house rules pets, so if you’re thinking of adopting a critter, the June 3 New Moon is a great time. If you already have a furry friend, Mercury retrograde is a good time to schedule a routine vet checkup, making sure all shots and summer heartworm pills are up to date.
After June 21, relationships (both business and personal) get a boost, thanks to the Sun and Venus in your seventh house of committed partnerships. You might even find yourself in the midst of a marriage proposal or offered a plum contract. The June 18 Full Moon also sends “soulmate” rays your way. A sexy summer fling could be in order around this time!
There could be a few lingering trust issues and old baggage to clear before any partnerships really launch into the stratosphere. On June 15, transformational Pluto dips into your twelfth house of healing, completion and the subconscious. Pluto entered Capricorn in late January, completely revolutionizing who you know yourself to be. Coupled with Jupiter here, you could feel like an entirely different person. Being so out of your comfort zone is both exciting and terrifying, Capricorn, as you tend to distrust anything that’s not tried-and-true. At times, you may have felt like you were on a rollercoaster about to charge down a perilous hill.
As stomach-churning as it’s been, Capricorn, you’re ready for this new phase of life! Now, Pluto’s presence—which lasts until November 27 and never returns again in your lifetime—brings up any lingering demons so you can lay them to rest for good. This could surface in the form of old addictions, codependent habits or fears. The twelfth house rules therapy and healing, so don’t be afraid to book time with a trusted professional. It will only help the process.
You’ll feel the urge to jump back into your cocoon and hide at times, but don’t do it. Nor should you put any independent new ventures on hold out of guilt. Don’t play the martyr, Capricorn. It’s time to assert yourself and stick by what you truly desire. You could discover that certain “friends” are not so true, or that someone’s manipulating you with guilt. Remember what you’ve learned over the past five months and apply this new assertiveness to any situations like this. You’ll be amazed at how a new approach to an old problem can transform it permanently, even making your troubles disappear. Wouldn’t that be nice!
