I have a good friend who is a Capricorn and who has gone completely dark on me. So I am doing my best not to take this personally and I am imagining what he’s doing and going through instead. Laid off last year, he has become obsessed with Twitter and I believe that he is quietly working on some form of media consulting, using Twitter as the tool for building massive relationships for his clients. Part of this is something I overheard through another friend, and part is something I am sensing and I believe that as a goat, he is not alone in this process.

I have visions of goats quietly working under the cover of night, growing empires while the rest of us sleep. I don’t think that this is very far from the truth as Pluto has them under its spell promising power, purpose and destiny. However, all Capricorns must deal with their mothers this month and not in the way Sag does, with lovely Venus in placid Pisces sounding the call to heal the animus. No, Capricorns must deal with mother as Kali in April…an oedipal affair gone very wrong. For goat gals, it’s the evil stepmother, the wicked witch of the west, the dark and unloving matron of the anti-goddess.

Before you can continue on your path toward world conquest and domination, you must first pay homage to her, then you must find the courage and the magic to either slay her forever or seduce her to the point where she melts back into the loving mom that hopefully, you once knew. If you don’t, she will eat you alive and spit out your bones. How are you going to rule the world as a skeleton? Don’t thinks so. Have courage and proceed with caution and love. The Venus retrograde shift to Pisces is asking you to bury the hatchet with anyone you’ve ever called brother or sister in this lifetime — blood related or not. All feuds eventually come to an end, and deeply forgiving Pisces will help you and anyone that is (or is like) a sibling to you get over the past and move forward. You’re pretty strong headed, so this tender aspect, which lasts from the 12th through the 24th, will help you dissolve into sweet forgiveness.
