The Week Ahead for Capricorn
Monday, October 19th – Sunday, October 25th
There is a strong focus on teamwork, whether in the workplace or personal and social projects. Capricorn is a natural leader, which is why sometimes you find it difficult to seek support or pool your ideas, but it is the way forward at the moment. The problem is that Pluto’s presence is generating a certain amount of mistrust and fear of the unknown. Always work with what you know and what you’ve got; endless speculation ends in paralysis! Far better to put a stop to something while you still have some wiggle room. Mercury will head into retrograde on the 24th, providing a safety net for reflection and review.
Act before you have no alternative.

Monday, October 12th – Sunday, October 18th
Mars-Saturn combos can be challenging, but they are always purposeful. Keep this in mind as you go through the week because how you handle an unexpected obstacle will be key as to how seamlessly it is resolved. The past is playing into the present, so it may help to think back to a similar situation that occurred some time ago and how you tackled it. (Maybe you want to do something different now.) On the other hand, the reason something has reared its ugly head can be found in the past. Nevertheless, while history is always important, you need to focus on what it teaches you about the present and going forward from there.
Learn from the past; don’t get stuck in it.

The Month Ahead for Capricorn
October 2026
This is going to be a great month if you’re planning a big move or you have a big agenda to fulfil. October is also going to be fantastic if you’re prepared to get rid of a whole lot of stuff you no longer need, which could include a toxic relationship. The new moon (10th) begins a new cycle for career and your role in life, and before mid-November an offer could be in the pipeline or you will have reached a decision about your future. Indeed, it may have taken most of 2026 to get you to this all-important point. From which there will be no turning back.

The Year Ahead for Capricorn
A full moon within days of the New Year sets the tone for 2026. It is a year in which there will be many endings but also some glorious beginnings. Jupiter continues to bring good people into your life, whether for business, friendship or romance, and it is the year of marriage for many Capricorns… There is a strong focus on family too and on finding your roots whether that means tracing your ancestry or getting a (new) home. And in the process of a home move or a family gathering information could surface that casts a new light on the past.
