While the rest of the zodiac is preparing to hunker down when Pluto slides into Capricorn, you are waiting with a sense of expectancy that’s almost supernatural. This is your time and the next 16 years will be marked by a number of Capricorns who have planned long and hard for the days ahead. The Taurus full moon is a prelude to the transformations that many of you will experience well past the next decade. It’s a magical moon, especially when it comes to children and love. In fact, this is a time where you can relax a little and let your inner child loose, perhaps even to play with your external child. That might be they type of experience that could soften even the most craggy of Capricornian hearts. Lighten up, play, stop and smell the roses, eat one or two to just to play the fool, a persona you rarely adapt. Relax and let it happen–you can go back to planning and implementing total global domination next week.

Welcome the lord of the dance! With Pluto moving into your sign, you will be tasked with great power and great responsibility. You’ll be tested time and again. The main theme you will find over and over again will be how you climb to the top of the mountain while bringing as many as you can along for the ascent. It won’t be easy as there will be days where you will say to yourself, “screw ‘em all,” and then you’ll remember that it’s lonely at the top and what good is all of your upward mobility when there is no one there to share it with. Striving and achievement in vain will not be in your best interest. That doesn’t mean that you can’t experience the power and intensity of your awakening by yourself, in fact there will be periods ahead of you over the course of the next sixteen years where it will be vital for you to have those moments, moments that only you can have but your challenge will be to reach down, drop a line and help others up to your jagged precipice before your ascend to an icy outcrop further up the mountain face. That is your work.

The opposition of Saturn and Uranus is less of a shock for you. There is something ancient that is revealed to you in the days that lie ahead. While others will search and grasp for meaning in the chaos, you will observe and record he events of the day, understanding deeper patterns and even the understanding of forces behind mass psychology. Your mind is open and you’re ready to make sense of it all, seeing the big picture from a dispassionate perspective, knowing that someday you’ll be apply to apply the lessons of the times somewhere in you own, personal, future.

There’s a message in Virgo’s forecast that can apply to you as well, but while they are dealing with the maternal issue, you’re dealing with home and the anger that is rising like a volcano around the whole issue of where you live and what’s happening to the place you call home. This is a very, very, critical time for you as it lines up with your own purpose and evolution for the next sixteen years. Capricorn will be charged in some ways with caring for the public trust as you’ll have direct access to the awesome power of Pluto. Your feelings about what’s happening in the housing market are very real and it’s important for you to see yourself as part of the solution and not the problem. Use the intense emotions you have around this guide and direct your big picture from this moment forward.

While you can feel the juices flowing, the sap start to rise, as Pluto begins it’s slow and epic return to your own sign, your ability to reach compromise in the halls of power is critical right now for your long term understanding and how you will apply the lessons of personal power in the years to come. While you are slowly and patiently mediating the chaos of the workplace and coming to new agreements about what you do and how you do it for a living, deep knowledge is also coming your way, bringing you essential knowledge and wisdom that gives you unique insights into how things work or don’t work at very high levels. This is very important, as you’ll need to establish and maintain a spiritual base and foundation for the years to come. This is a trans-personal training period, so take copious notes and realize that everything has meaning.

The thoughts your hearing may not be your own and that’s perfectly ok given the circumstances. No one would ever accuse you of being The John Edward of the zodiac, but this full moon finds you communing with spirits that don’t come in a bottle. Your sense of knowing is keen, even beyond comprehension. Get into dolphin energy in any way that you can. It’s part of your esoteric heritage and this weekend It’s your exoteric destiny.

If I could suggest two paths for you this month they would include the practice of Zen at all times with all things and power networking. Now you may ask yourself, “aren’t these two activities seemingly at cross purposes—isn’t one about being and the other doing?” Well in most cases yes, but not in yours and not in September. You have the unique opportunity to schmooze, rub elbows, travel to conventions, phone conference, broker deals, etc and yet be absolutely clear that you are not the force, but simply an extension of the force itself. Think of a beautiful and fully realized stroke of the brush meeting the canvas without any interference from the essence of the intention of that stroke and you will be able to grasp the art of being directed and involved without effort and artifice. You can “allow” the primal void from which all of creation springs to mediate your affairs, once you have set them in motion and then watch in amazement as they re-assemble themselves in ways that benefit all. How cool is that?

Wile other signs are more about the merry qualities of this full moon, not you, you old goat. It’s business, but not business as usual—more like business as unusual. Look for opportunities to increase personal wealth in areas like precious metals, new technologies, such as solar, hybrid fuels, etc. Spend some time investigating foreign companies that are not as restrained by domestic market demands and embrace innovation in the aforementioned fields. With all of the systematic energy supporting you in Virgo, occupying your house of travel and ideas, I would urge to explore and even invest in foreign commodities and cutting edge technologies, specifically as it relates to energy and how we use it to power our lives.

Somewhere in the craggy depths of your soul is a child that desperately wants to come out and play. Yes, you, the one that was figuring out the household budget by the time you were seven and looking into what careers would be popular when you graduated from college when you were nine. The energies of August, especially the early parts are calling forth your inner child like the Pied Piper, dancing to the music of sweet surrender. Lighten up and give yourself permission to play as much as you’d like. When I say play, it’s intended to include the quality of playfulness, which means you don’t have to win, or even engage in activities where there is a winner or a loser. Crack jokes and smiles, better yet, find the most self-important person you know and cream them in the face with a pie. Be playful, mischievous and light. Towards the middle part of the month, you’ll be looking for ways to manifest practical wisdom, but until then, kick of your heels and even for a few days, be that kid you never were.

The moon is yours and as it relates to your identity it’s stirring up emotions in you that you might not feel all that comfortable with. Any form of repression goes out the window this weekend. If you decide to hold onto control and push away the lunacy that is calling out to you, you’ll simply run into obstinate people, untenable situations and missed opportunities, especially in relationship. Go with the flow and surrender your beloved control for a change, you’ll be humbled and grateful by what takes place as result. Trust your intuition even if it appears if it looks crazy to some. In fact, that’s the litmus test by how you will gauge what’s appropriate for you over the next seventy-two-hours. Let go and let God.

All of this mushy energy in your opposite sign can be a real drag for you, especially as it occurs in your house of relationships. The new moon is great for hitting the re-set button in all of your important one-on-ones as it aligns with Venus and Mercury both in Cancer as well. It’s a healing time for you in relationships, but the key is for you to be receptive and allow the waters of forgiveness and love to wash over that craggy exterior you share with the world. With Mars kicking into Virgo, you’ll have ample amount of energy for amore to go along with the regenerative and healing qualities for relating. In short, July shapes up to be one of the most romantic and emotionally gratifying months in years—as long as you’ll allow it.

The Sag full moon is challenging as it hides out in your house of secrets. Revelations come up from out of nowhere. People you thought you knew turn out be quite different than your long time assessment. Even parts of yourself that you thought you had a good handle on desert you as behaviors and aspects of self crop up in strange and un-accustomed ways. There’s a slightly compulsive quality to this moon for you and most Caps are anything but compulsive. Long-range planners of the highest order, this full moon reminds you of something you might have forgotten along the way.

You get a brief respite as Pluto goes back into Sag for a few months in the middle of June. Take this time to note the intensity of the past few months and find ways to work with the power that will reassert itself in your life a few months from now. That could include investigating anything that will build your ability to carry yourself in the world with more knowledge and authority. Mercury is causing you to re-think what is meaningful for you when it comes to work. This is perfect timing as it syncs up nicely for you with Pluto’s retreat as well. You are meant to lead over the course of the next decade and while you might be under the burden of service now, look into how you can begin to make your inevitable rise. As you do so, you might also want to get an annual check-up right now. Mercury’s placement in your chart is ideal for uncovering hidden conditions and ailments, oftentimes in the early stages of their development, so don’t put that exam off for any longer. Be brave and know that you are headed toward health—not away from it.

I know a Capricorn woman who is going through the following right now: Father dying, just completed rehab and getting ready to spend the next two weeks in jail for her second DUI, which landed her in rehab. She’s also a key executive player on a sales team for a very successful company whose work is seasonal, and the season is now. It’s illustrative of what Capricorns are going through as Pluto is grinding off the rough edges early in its very long stay in their sign. But this is all a precursor to the power Capricorns will wield in the years to come. They’re being tempered and forged like the best steel. Mars’ move into Leo could stir up some pretty heated energies for The Goat, adding even more heat to the fires of transformation already burnishing their souls.
Mars in Leo squares the Capricornian natal sun and arrives in the area of the chart that sparks a win-at-all-costs temperment. As if you didn’t need any more intensity, Mercury in Gemini will also square the Cap sun, making it a challenge to say what you really feel in a meaningful way. With communication blocked, monitor the urge to act out in ways that could be detrimental to your process long term. Find time for saunas and hot tubs in May and June. Better yet, go find a natural hot spring and let your tensions melt back into your beloved Earth.

Pluto has not fully dropped into your life as of yet, but you can certainly feel the changes coming, the surety of self is growing a little more with each passing day and your mission here, slowly but surely, is starting to make itself known to you in small ways…like seeing something you’ve known for a very long time becoming true. While the rest of the world was giddy with low-prime highs, you were holding back, saving, seeing the big picture and now as the housing market of cards keeps on collapsing your efforts and foresight are reinforcing your deep inner values. Your ancient wisdom is beginning a dialog as a whisper. In the years to come, it will be a clarion call for others in the wilderness of finance and liquidity. But for now, it’s more time spent on the home front, renovating, improving and doing lots of handiwork to, of course, save a few sheckles. A word to the wise Capricorn: if you can afford to go solar, this is a great month to look into it. Domestic tensions are still running a little high as Mars is still making itself felt in the lives of most male goats. Don’t get stuck — construct, build and repair. You’ll change the energy and be glad you did.

It’s showdown and throw down time in the realm of the heart you stubborn old goats. Mars in stirring things up as you acquaint yourself with your newfound powers. The mere mortals occupying your love life are not easily amused by your occasionally insensitive gestures of grandiosity and self-importance. In fact, they’re downright ornery. So the big question for you is how are you going to deal with rebellious hearts? The answer for you lies in the wisdom of Pisces and the art of benevolence. Open your heart and listen to the litany of complaint without judgment and you might reform your petty inner dictator.

Get your health together right now goat. Hit the gym, start a diet, see the bone doctor, get moving. Your health and wellbeing is critical right now as you begin to channel the intense energies of Pluto. You’ll need a strong and supple vehicle to be the poster child of power and transformation. What you begin now will help your body, mind spirit for the days, weeks, months and years to come. Get into a healthy routine right now for the rest of your life; “Endurance” is thy name.

Well, well Cappy, the era of the goat is upon us, and you more than any sign will have the most intimate experience with the great Pluto shift. Get ready, because over the next fifteen years, you’ll be the power player of the zodiac. Climbing mountains and corporate ladders is a cakewalk for you and your reputation will rise and soar with each new achievement and milestone you reach. But like your horned brethren, the ram, you need to make sure that you don’t crush anyone on your march to the top. Capricorn has a bit of a ruthless streak, which can be easily dismissed on their part as dispensing with sentimentality, so it would be wise for you to use a gentle touch from time-to-time. You have a great opportunity to understand the manifestations of power, use it wisely, especially this year when you can expand your world easily on all fronts. Oh, and that occasionally rigid, Capricornian attitude towards sex? Forget it. The lusty goats will crave more than just power from here on out.
