Capricorn Monthly Horoscope February 2016

Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)

The focus is on you as February begins with key planets in your sign of Capricorn. One of these planets is Mercury, the communication planet, and Mercury remains here until the 13th.

This is a very different Mercury to the one you experienced last month when Mercury was retrograde or on go slow. Your mind has more clarity now and it’s easier to make important decisions.

Plus it may help that people have finally got back to you or you hear the information or news you’ve been waiting for. Either way, this feels like a green light, a time to get ahead, to speak up, to communicate important information.

Plus on the 6th, Mercury teams up in a stunning aspect with Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and growth. Jupiter is in another of the earth signs, Virgo, and is encouraging you to broaden your horizons, to play big, to look ahead to what 2016 will bring.

Both Mercury and Jupiter link to study and learning. The weekend of the 6th/7th would be a great time to work on your vision for the year ahead, to attend a course which inspires you and to look at how you can turn your dreams into reality.

If this feels daunting to you on your own, then turn to other people for support and guidance. Action planet Mars is currently in Scorpio and the sector of your chart which rules friends, groups and networking. Mars is powerful in Scorpio which indicates that you too can be bigger and better when you team up with a core group of people.

Associating with people in a position of power rubs off on you so play big in life, be courageous and don’t let fear hold you back. Dare to impress and make some big moves that will set you up for the year ahead.

Another planet in your sign of Capricorn as February begins is Venus, the planet of love and relating. When Venus is in your sign, this increases your popularity. It makes you more attractive to other people which is good news for love but also boosts your profile. Venus enhances how you come across to others so make the most of this influence in your life, whoever you wish to impress.

Venus is on top form on the 7th and the 10th and these are both promising dates for a romantic encounter or your turn in the spotlight. The only issue takes place on the 6th when Venus clashes with the outer planets, Uranus and Pluto. This could be an old issue that raises its head or a clash between your past and future lives.

In other words, certain people close to you want you to behave in a particular way and be faithful to the person you’ve always been. Yet this may no longer serve you well, hence the reason for a clash or conflict in your life. This could be a classic case of out with the old and in with the new and your own values may shift in the process. Whenever Pluto is involved, you can be sure that it’s a time of personal transformation.

One area where you would be wise to focus your attention is money. There is a lot going well in this sector of your chart and you can not only lay strong foundations but set new ideas and plans in place too. The Sun is in Aquarius and your money sector until the 19th and is joined by Mercury on the 13th and Venus on the 17th.

The period between the 3rd-6th and the 25th/26th look most promising. You can make money via property on around these dates and your home and family are linked to prosperity. The big picture of your life right now is about preparing yourself for a new chapter that will begin in a few years time.

Being a Capricorn, you’re the expert at looking ahead and planning for the future and this is something you can do right now. Whether you’re considering investing your money or you’ve decided to close the door on a particular chapter of your life to free up your time and energy, think carefully about your next steps. The decisions you make now can be built on in the months and years to come.

Finally, the Sun enters Pisces on the 19th and one of the travel sectors of your chart. Get ready for a lively period in your life when you’re busier than usual and running here, there and everywhere. If you need to update your transport, jump to it. The Full Moon on the 22nd would be a good day to do so.

Plus the Full Moon highlights holidays, study opportunities, and any activity which broadens your experience of life. This backs up the current transit of Jupiter, the planet of opportunity and growth, in Virgo, the same sign as the Full Moon.

You’re being called forth on a new path, whether you wish to take a sabbatical, follow a spiritual calling or take time out from work to study. Whenever you find yourself slipping back into your comfort zone, Jupiter will gently but persuasively draw you out.
