1st January 2003 - 31st December 2003

GENERAL

Until August 7th 2002 Jupiter occupied a highly favourable position in your chart so you may well be coming into 2003 with a solid achievement under your belt. However, if you had little luck last year or it seems plans you made failed to materialize, do not entirely give up hope - during 2003 Jupiter continues to inspire the best in other people and you could do exceedingly well from business ventures, money-making schemes and in a few cases from an inheritance.

The most important planetary move of the year has to be Saturn’s entry into your opposite sign, Cancer. This transit will take two years to run its course and although you may not enjoy every single one of Saturn’s learning curves those things that come together under this planet are built to last. To begin with it will be the December birthdays that come under Saturnian scrutiny but by the end of the year all but the 5th - 20th January birthdays will have something to show for this planet’s mettle-testing influence. With Saturn as your ruler you are born with the ability to persist in the face of opposition yet sometimes, when Saturn forms a ‘hard’ angle to your sun, instead of experiencing hardship and struggle you reap the rewards for earlier efforts. Therefore the next two years could be years of great achievement for some Capricorns. However, it is always worth erring on the side of caution, which in this case means expecting no hand-outs or free rides and keeping your estimations of success on the low side.

The exit of Uranus from the area of finances is one of the year’s pluses. This planet has been largely responsible for the fluctuations in your fortune so from March onwards you should be able to make a financial move in the knowledge that it won’t backfire on you instantly. However, you still have Neptune to contend with so you must continue to look on get-rich-quick-schemes with scepticism and avoid giving in to emotional blackmail. The periods when Neptune is at its most powerful and therefore the times when you must exert the most caution with money and your worldly goods are: 24th - 31st January, 13th - 17th May, 2nd - 12th August and 26th October - 9th November.

LOVE

Saturn is going to have its greatest effect on your love life. This planet’s passage through the area of relationships will, on the one hand, enable you to make long-term commitments and find stability and cohesion in your relationships but, on the other, there is a trend for separation and/or hard times shared with a partner. This influence will be present until July 2005, so you should see this as a crucial and life-defining cycle. As far as romantic high spots for this year go, expect the most from February and December.

Key Dates

STAR PERIODS: 1st - 14th February, 13th - 29th July

BLACK HOLES: 20th February - 17th March, 12th - 22nd December



1st January 2004 - 31st December 2004

General

Out with the old and in with the new is the theme, not just for the New Year, but the whole year. With Saturn revealing where you have run out of road, there will be new and very different avenues opening up for your skills and your interests. No one relishes the prospect of a learning curve, but for the first half of the year you seem to be making up for past errors and running into situations that smack of ancient history. However, from late September onwards Jupiter’s passage through the ninth house of far horizons will take you far in both terrestrial and personal/professional terms. In a nutshell 2004 represents a watershed: you’ll be in a new space by 2005.

Love and Relationships

A new pattern needs to begin here. For far too long you’ve allowed other people to emotionally manipulate you and it’s time you put a stop to it. And January’s events could prove to be the first step in this process of empowerment and liberation. March, May and August are also months when the strengths and weaknesses of long-standing relationships are revealed and decisions of a make or break nature made. In general partners are hard work while for some a new romance begun in May has shades of karma and destiny about it.

MONEY/WORK - From October the world’s your oyster. Efforts pay off: success is within your grasp.

Money and Work

Whatever you achieve this year will be entirely due to your own efforts: other people bring little to the table and acquiring finance for business ventures in particular and personal needs in general will be hard work. Nevertheless, there’s much to be said for recognizing you have a big mountain to climb and being fully prepared to scale it. Throughout the year Jupiter will encourage international dealings and those of a legal, spiritual or educational kind and by October you should be beginning to see where your efforts are taking you. And it could be far!

Go Dates: 9th January, 28th April, 13th and 21st September, 5th November, 21st December

Slow Dates: 1st January, 19th April, 25th May, 2nd July, 20th October, 8th November




1st January 2005 - 30th June 2005

General

Saturn's child is used to waiting for the good things of life but the last eighteen months have been trying, even by your standards. Saturn's passage through Cancer has caused frustration and aggravation, although those who have achieved a high position will see it last and those who have made powerful alliances will see them prosper. In 2005 Jupiter comes to the rescue: successes of one sort or another can be expected, and you will certainly get what you deserve: the work you have put in and the foundations you have laid will at last produce results. January may not fulfil this prediction, nor may the events of early March and mid-April, but any disappointments will soon be forgotten in light of the joys to come in the second half of the year.

Love

Let's face it, Saturn has not been an asset in the love department, although you have no doubt been through enough in the past couple of years to write a novel! Until August your partners continue to be your teachers, providing many lessons in patience and stoicism, however, relationships built of the right stuff get even stronger. January and June are seminal periods for your love life - quite the best times to marry or meet long-term partners. However, for some celestial Goats these same months reveal cracks in relationships and help you reach decisions that have been some painful years in the making.

Money and Work

There could be some truth to the maxim that you can't have money and love, since your love life could leave a lot to be desired in 2005 while your career should be positively blooming. People recognize your worth and there could be awards and plaudits coming your way - February and October contain more than one starry moment. Speculate to accumulate in the first six months then maintain a holding pattern for the following two years. The eclipses of 8th April and 3rd and 17th October could prove instrumental in a major career success or a radical change of course. Have faith in yourself - you'll go far in 2005.

Home and Family

The aforementioned eclipses could also play a part in important domestic developments. You are more upwardly mobile, if not in reality then certainly in spirit! You should see your home and/or family expand, and there could be some happy celebrations to look forward to at Easter and July. For some Capricorns an age-old family rift will be healed while others will reconnect with family members they have not seen for many years. There could also be some unexpected good luck for a relative, or a senior member of the family could be a source of concern.

FAB DATES: 7th January, 27th February, 1st May, 22nd October, 5th November, 31st December.
DRAB DATES: 10th January, 25th March, 8th April, 26th June, 21st July, 17th October.




1st January 2006 - 30th May 2006

General

A year that opens with generous Venus in your sign has to be a good year, and certainly a better one than the last two. It might behove you to make the most of this great start by setting in motion as many plans as you can before mid-March, especially those of a romantic or partnership-oriented nature. The character of the year is slow and steady - entirely suited to the Capricorn spirit - however, when opportunities come in they'll do so overnight and they'll demand an instant response - take the 14th February, 5th May, 6th July and 2nd September for instance. You may travel more widely in 2006 and there will be greater contact with people from abroad. A meeting or item of news could inspire a journey in March and there is an aura of resolution and reunion about both March and July.

Love

With Saturn out of the zone of one-to-one relationships and the lovely Venus in there, you begin 2006 in great shape. And you might just ask yourself what have you got to lose by following your heart, even if it means sacrificing a little security? Grand gestures bring great results, especially after 3rd February and before 5th March. Nonetheless, if you are in a long-standing relationship partners could prove less emotionally and sexually forthcoming, or difficult circumstances could cause them to be more demanding, thus you will need to exhibit patience for much of the year. Mid-July to mid-August is a premium period for romance, and the week of the 22nd July could prove magical, or at least restorative.

Money and Work

You have learned the hard way that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so don't break the habit of a lifetime and start believing that encouraging words and verbal promises will manifest as rock solid promotions and job opportunities. And much the same could be said of financial investments and monetary offers: your efforts will achieve results eventually, but 2006 may prove a little premature. What will succeed this year is pooling talents and resources, perhaps by venturing into business with friends and colleagues, and by putting material ambitions second to job fulfilment and more altruistic pursuits. This is also not the best of years to pursue people through the courts to receive what is owed to you. Work on the philosophy that what goes around comes around...

Home and Family

The events of last September/October could provide the springboard for a series of changes on home territory in 2006. Whether a new work location necessitates a house move or whether developments to do with the family itself inspire domestic changes, it seems you are closing a door on the past. Indeed, endings and beginnings are the big theme for the coming year here. March and September provide unexpected opportunities for travel, and you may well take a study course or be required to pass a test of some description. You'll discover that people matter more than material comforts and financial security so don't for a minute resent the time spent with those you love.




1st January 2007 - 31st December 2007

General

Thank goodness Capricorn understands the importance of timing and is prepared to be patient because you are but a year away from achieving one or more of your most treasured ambitions. The secret of success lies in the planning and the preparation - the essence of your 2007 stars. Some of the restrictions you may have experienced are lifted this year, whether this implies finances are easier or people central to your life are in better shape and feeling more generous and supportive towards you. When there is a change, it will be sudden, and may well come in the form of a written or spoken communication and involve travel or people/places at a distance. The past also has a big part to play, whether you return to a person, occupation or location you have known before or because you will be digging into your family history or researching a project. January and February put Mars in your sign and you on the offensive, and the periods of the 1st-9th May and 18th -28th August are pregnant with possibilities.

Love

There's no need for history to repeat itself. Just because someone once hurt you and let you down doesn't mean the same thing will happen again. While someone new in your life may remind you of a person you have loved in the past, this individual is unique, and trying to put a shield over your heart will prevent the relationship from growing. Forget the past. (Virgo and Taurus are signs that could figure prominently in your life this year.) Those of you in established partnerships may be still struggling with a legacy of old problems, but they can be overcome by starting over with a clean sheet. Thinking of a wedding or meeting someone new? May has what it takes, and the weekend of 14th July is as sweet as honey.

Money and Work

Confidence and faith are crucial to your career success and your ability to make money, and with the Saturn-Neptune opposition flanking the financial axis of your solar chart until July you are going to have to straddle the fine line between foolish bravado and solid self-belief. But whereas last year breakthroughs and opportunities were difficult to find, this year help arrives, albeit at the eleventh hour. February is a particularly tricky month for career and finance, and if you take a break in August you will need to be sure that someone is looking after your material interests and that you have tied up all loose ends. From September you'll be able to plan for the future with real confidence and making moves to expand your job potential, if not your life as a whole, is recommended.

Home and Family

There's a lot of seed-sowing going on in this department of life. It's taken you a long time to consider major changes or additions to the home base but as early as mid-January you could be implementing them. You're also moving away from tradition, whether this implies you are deliberately forging a very different path from your parents or bringing an ethnic quality to the home itself. Conservation is always close to the Capricorn heart but this year going green really gets going! Energy-saving appliances, organic everything and a major recycling effort are all on your list. You'll have the most family fun doing things on the spur of the moment - forget I said that July was the best time for a holiday.




1st July 2008 - 31st December 2008

GENERAL

The second half of the year is entirely different from the first: in part this is to do with the absence of Pluto, which occupied your sign between January and June but it is also because other people have a much greater influence on your life during this quarter. 2008 continues to be a year of growth and opportunity and now such things come to you through the kindness, love and approval of others. You might like to think of these developments as payback for your efforts in the past. July is the most dynamic and opportunity-laden month with the 3rd, 9th and 18th looking outstanding. Travel there is in abundance and this is the summer to head to the opposite side of the globe, or at least a part of the country you've never seen before. A summer of adventure and expansion awaits.

LOVE

If you've been hoping to make a proposal or receive one, the summer is the time to look your best! July is all about setting relationships on a new course and celebrating love. Choose the 3rd for the most perfect day of all... Many Capricorns are discovering that the single life has its limitations and that a safe but soulless, sexless relationship is no life at all, thus, under the summer sun new love will be found – then you'll know what those eclipses of the 1st and 16th August are all about. Under no circumstances allow yourself to be emotionally blackmailed by someone who is neither your match nor a person of great worth. Your liberation and your fulfilment are in your hands, with a bit of help from destiny.

WORK AND FINANCE

Under these stars failure is not an option: aside from luck playing a big part in your progress, you should have the confidence to promote yourself and your talents. From 19th August you have Mars helping you take on big challenges and bringing out your competitive streak. And if people do not grant you the opportunity you believe you deserve be courageous enough to vote with your feet. Business enterprises blossom during the summer, although your plans may get a shake-up at the beginning or end of August. (Nothing you cannot overcome, though.) However, while it is a boom time for your professional life, finances fluctuate and investments, property and borrowing are under a red light. Also for a few celestial Goats, dealing with an ex-partner will prove costly.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

You know the old saying: all work and no play make Jack a dull boy? Well, you may need to remind yourself of this should you catch yourself declining social invitations or putting off a planned holiday. The fun you have will translate into the energy you need to resolve any lingering problems and up your success rate. An action-packed vacation in the mountains or a journey to a place of antiquity in a foreign land could be on the agenda, although some Capricorns will be adding to their knowledge and skills, even taking on the role of teacher. And, there could be weddings, engagements and christenings to attend or to put together.


1st January 2008 - 31st July 2008

General

2008 is your year of advance, accomplishment and adventure. Jupiter spends the entire twelve months in your sign adding to your sense of well-being and putting you in the spotlight for personal and professional reasons. Ruler, Saturn, works wonders in the zone of far horizons enabling you to bring a dream into reality and adding substance to your long-range plans. Just how much the arrival of Pluto in your sign will help or hinder all of this rather depends but if you have a birthday on or near 21st December expect to be thrown into the deep end, whether you upend an aspect of your life or fate, so to speak, does it for you. And, in general, the combination of Jupiter and Pluto will eliminate the dead wood and encourage new shoots. February is your best month; August has its little problems.

Love

Confidence is high and single Capricorns will have their choice of mates this year while those of you already hitched will have more fun with their partners, out of which may come new additions to the family and, certainly, a new found sense of commitment to each other. Aries, Libra and Pisces figure in your romantic stars and late January-late February, late June to mid-July are premium periods for love and marriage. The December birthdays are beginning a huge process of inner change so your needs and wants in another person are changing too with the result that there could be painful and acrimonious endings before you find the happiness you seek.

Money and Work

Any thoughts of economy drives and recession should be thrown out the door. A long-term project is begun, possibly linked to education, travel or publication, and ideas or offers arising in late January take you places. This is your year to bring out the entrepreneur-within so have the courage of your convictions and head into the market place with your ideas and talents. You have two years in which to see your money grow so although the global economy is in a shaky state you personally can do very well, perhaps by taking advantage of falling house prices and businesses in distress. The only periods to raise a red flag in regard to money are February and August - times to tread carefully.

Home and Lifestyle

Since you are the star of the show this year, you should find that home and family life revolves more around your needs. In other words, people will have to fit in with you and not the other way around. Expansion is the name of the game and you could be adding to the home in terms of bricks and mortar (and people) and injecting a sense of adventure into your activities. This is the year to travel to distant places and to experience different cultures any which way you can - learning foreign languages, for instance, or acquiring a taste for the exotic whether in food or lifestyle. Be prepared, however, for journeys to be educational in other ways...




1st January 2009 - 30th June 2009

GENERAL

New beginnings were part and parcel of 2008 and your job this coming year is to build steadily on those foundations. You are still in a phase of growth and opportunity but with Pluto now firmly in your sign, and principally affecting the December birthdays, you are not as much in control of your destiny as you might like to be. In other words, there will be events that come at you from left field which will affect your plans in the short and long term. The periods around 1st January, 22nd July and 26th August, could be especially significant here. Ruler, Saturn, will arrive at the zenith of your horoscope in late October, and this planet brings rewards for the efforts of many years as well as adding to your responsibilities in the way of being a provider, parent and leader.

LOVE

Jupiter's influence is still strong on your love life, and with a total solar eclipse in the area of relationships in late July, some Capricorns are about to meet their match, and in unusual circumstances. Both January and July could prove significant for your romantic future, and you will need to be philosophical about any endings because they clear the way for a relationship that reflects the new you. Other Capricorns will be supporting a partner who is going through a difficult time, and events throughout the year will test the strength of your commitment to each other. Should a new relationship begin in 2009, it may well be with someone from your past – a remembered past or another time, another life...

MONEY AND WORK

You can do very well financially this year so have confidence and keep practising that law of prosperity – no fear, no shortfall. The eclipses of February and August are times of gains or losses so great care will have to be taken then with investments, purchases and monetary negotiations. You may also do well from settlements and inheritances. If you are twenty-nine or forty-three years old a harvest of some description is taking place, whether you are to be offered a job of power and responsibility or you realize that job security is not only a myth but no substitute for job fulfilment. Do what you love and you'll make it work, even in this time of global recession.




1st July 2005 - 31st December 2005

GENERAL

It's a rare Cappy who's full of the joys of 2005 - Saturn's trudge through the remaining degrees of your opposite sign has left a lot of celestial Goats limping, but the winning post is in sight, and is represented by this planet's entry into Leo on the 18th July. Other people - their role in your life and what happens to them - play a huge part in the summer's story, and it may be that developments arising in June take the full three months to play out, thereby making mid-September a time of endings and beginnings. Two other key events of the summer take place on or near the 26th June and the 21st July.

LOVE

Saturn has probably hit you the hardest in your love life: while some have been able to tie the marital knot and put a romance on a more permanent footing others have had painful episodes to go through with a partner, or seen a relationship end, and in general the last two years have left many Capricorns feeling somewhat alone and unsupported. On 11th June, Venus arrives in the seventh house of relationships, and the message she brings is that you can find love and establish greater happiness and harmony in relationships. To this end June and July produce events, and certainly signs, that help you see where, what and in whom your future rests.

WORK AND FINANCE

While love and personal life may leave much to be desired, Jupiter's transit of the tenth house could help your career flourish and your reputation soar. At the very least, the period up until late October should be used to launch your most grandiose plans and to display your talents to full effect. June 10th, July 1st and September 1st are all dates when opportunity knocks and your ability to impress and succeed knows no bounds. Finances are still in a Neptunian haze and especially around the 12th July and 8th August the potential for monetary muddles and financial losses is high. Be confident about your abilities and brave in your professional life, but very, very cautious with money.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

You may feel as though your style has been cramped for the past couple of years but with Saturn's departure life begins to free up, and some of those plans that have been shelved can be activated. My advice for making this summer as happy as possible would be to expand your social circle, become involved in new activities and to make your home the setting for gatherings and discussions. June is all about getting your health and fitness act together, while the full moon in Capricorn on 21st July empowers you and sets in motion a chain of events that will add to your happiness and security. From late August your horizons change, both in terms of your goals and your overall outlook.




1st July 2006 - 31st December 2006

GENERAL

The summer, if not the next six months, is all about the long-term and the long-haul. August and September are the big travel months of the year, yet they are also the times when you'll face your most important decisions, both of a professional and familial nature. The benefits of team work is another major theme, and while some Capricorns could be beginning a new business project (mid-to-late November is starred here) others may be pooling resources with friends in order to fund a big social event. My tip for the summer, however, is to lighten up, both in the sense of your attitude and those aspects of your life that are weighing you down.

LOVE

This might not be the sexiest year you've ever had, but you are discovering that you have wonderful friends, and perhaps your best friend is your significant other. And in keeping with the general theme of 2006, you need to forget about the short-term benefits of passion and the long-term value of real love. Beautiful Venus will be brightening the area of relationships from 19th July to 12th August, so if you need to set a wedding date or bring the lustre back to long-term liaison, the period of the 22nd-30th is fabulous. You may also find that events on or near the 7th and 22nd September bring a new and important person into your life.

WORK AND FINANCE

Saturn and Neptune work in two ways when they are both colouring finances: they make realities of your dreams, or show you the folly of your financial acumen. And if you haven't a clue what I mean, watch developments on or around 9th and 30th August. Financial partnerships require hefty safety clauses, and negotiations with monetary institutions and the Inland Revenue ought to be conducted well in advance of any cash-flow crisis. That said, mid-July could produce a brilliant offer or windfall. While career to the celestial Goat is always important, you can afford to take some time off for good behaviour during the summer. October will be here soon enough.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

Do you have a lifestyle, or are you just making do? While finances are limiting you to a certain extent, having fun and bringing beauty into the home can be done on any budget. And the secret of a happy summer is making sure you have plenty of both - fun and beauty. All right, there may be an occasion, probably in mid-to-late-August, which makes you feel anything but joyous, but something good will come out of the situation, and it will happen all the quicker once you get back your resolve and sense of humour. The travel area of your solar chart is in sparkling form from late August, and there is more than just a hint of the exotic and things of the Far-East about it.
