The Year 2008 Horoscope for Capricorn

(Written December 2007)

The Big Picture
Last year Jupiter, the great teacher, moved through your house of compassion and karma prompting a call for improved understanding, spirituality and ‘oneness’ with those around you. Often the provident way ahead was through sublimation of the ‘ego’, and a greater understanding of where, when, and how, you’d brought yourself undone in the past. It was an important relationship year, as well as one of re-arranging your financial structures. The same planet of growth and abundance now moves into the home sign of your 2008 Capricorn horoscope. It promotes a sense of release, and a vision that promises greener pastures and greater confidence. You’re asked to bet on yourself and take that great leap of faith on something. Education, or even relocation, could play a role here. The December born Caps, virtue of being born at the very beginning of the sign, will feel this power surge virtually from the start of the year. You’re looking at a life ‘makeover’ that is probably more decisive and focused than any before.

Romance and Relationships
Last year was a critical relationship year for many Capricorns. The eclipse alignment, created an association axis across the area related to second marriages. It was particularly powerful late March and September. It meant that those of you who had previously tied the knot, only to see it broken, may have elected to try for a double bow. This year builds significantly upon new relationships, even those that weren’t formalized through marriage. Many Capricorns may find themselves forming business partnerships, or actively working with their partners. Travel, or overseas connections can also play a role here. This is the year for the great trip abroad - seeing the sights and making romance and adventure. Your relationships sparkle from January 25 until Feb 18 with Venus in your sign, and June 23 until mid-July as the love planet visits your partnership zone. The period between the 5th of March to May 10 can introduce more competition, as well as passion, into your one on one dealings.  

Career and Finances
Neptune, which can often represent temporary chaos in the fiscal world, was opposed by Saturn the planet of discipline and structure for much of last year. This influence being powerful early in the year meant that by the end of June you would have chose to adopt a whole new attitude concerning assets and possessions. The eclipse cycle of 2008 suggests this reconstruction may not be entirely finished. Early February may offer greater resources and financial opportunity, but it is vital not to let that door close almost as soon as it opens. Hold tight to any hard won gains. The mid-sign born look the best served financially, especially around May and the mid year period. Your career prospects pick up remarkably with the reward centre of the cosmos, Jupiter, bringing increase and opportunity, but you can hardly benefit by staying in the one place. Be willing to cast off security blankets where career is concerned, and confidently experiment with new options that hold the promise of greater self-growth than before. Late January, plus September to December gives you the greatest support with vocational plans.

Self Improvement
Last year I mentioned that being a slave to redundant behaviour patterns was like carrying around a security blanket during a heatwave. The call was to give up something in order to move ahead. When you did you experienced subsequent joy and release. This year your progress comes from being the pro-active one on your environment. It’s up to you to take charge of the wheel as no one else can steer the ship as well as you can. If you feel that you could use an educational refresher to master some new techniques then so be it. Your greatest enemy will only be procrastination.
