Capricorn Monthly Forecast

While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your financial sector and the solar spotlight is always on your financial situation and money matters at this time each year, with a lot more happening on both sides of the financial fence. For the second time in as many years, when the Sun returned towards the end of last month, it was to find Pluto, the planet of change and transformation in your income sector, though this time after leaving and coming back, here now for the long term and not leaving until 2044. This meant that not only the Sun, but Mercury when he returned to your financial sector in June and Mars earlier in the year, saw them clash. Venus will do the same when she returns to your financial sector on 26th August, but until then, the two sides of the financial fence aren't getting in each other's way. With Pluto in retrograde motion until October and Mercury until 11th August, on both sides of the financial fence the month begins with a lot of focus on the past, though with different implications. Mercury is only in retrograde motion for a few weeks and leaving your financial sector in early September, when it comes to your financial situation and money matters, for a limited time you have his smart head for money and hindsight to draw on. Meanwhile, Pluto's longer term quest for untapped income potential was already getting a significant boost thanks to Uranus' return to your work sector last month, when Mars returns to your career sector on 7th August. This begins a partnership that is going to fire things up across the income, work and career fronts over the coming months. Meanwhile, until she joins the financial fray on 26th August, Venus is making the most of a chance to not only hang out with Jupiter in your relationship sector, but with support from the communication gods. It has been over a decade since you last had the planets of love and luck in your relationship sector at the same time.

By the time you move into the new month it has only been nine days since the Sun left your relationship sector, something that at the same time each year will always take the solar spotlight off your relationships. With Mercury, the planet of communication having wrapped up his annual visit at the end of June, this would normally be the point in each year when the focus shifts off your relationships. With Uranus in your romantic sector since 2019, this is the point in the year when, after a few months of focus on your relationships, this can shift back to matters of the heart. That isn't the case this year, with the balance of power having shifted to your relationships, where it will stay. After six years, Uranus left your romantic sector last month and as Venus, the planet of love had left two days earlier, this left you with no planetary activity on the romantic front until later in the year. However, the Moon will continue to return every four weeks, with its return from 15th August to 17th August some of the most romantically charged days of the month. Yet while the focus has shifted off matters of the heart, it has shifted onto your relationships. Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus has been late to return to your relationship sector this year and only returned on 31st July. As you move into the new month, Venus has only just returned and is just settling into her first full day. Not leaving until 26th August, Venus was always going to make this one of the best months of the year on the relationship front. Your annual relationship housekeeping is behind you, Mercury has left you with everything needed to keep the communication lines open and Venus is free to work her magic. Except she won't be doing this on her own, for Venus has returned to find Jupiter moving into the second month of what will be a 12 month transit through your relationship sector. While the planets of love and luck will continue to work as a team until Venus leaves on 26th July, key points in the month will be when they align on 11th/12th July and when the Moon moves through from 19th August to 21st August.
