Your Horoscope for Capricorn
by Susan Miller
Now let’s talk about your career, which is under an array of sparkling aspects. On August 6, Mars will move into your tenth house of profession, bringing honors, awards, and achievements. Mars will stay for nearly seven weeks, until September 22, making this period a fabulous time for career growth and solid progress. You have waited two years for this visit of Mars, and now that you have Mars working with you, the sky is the limit. Of course, you have to partner with the universe to show your intent, but if you start acting now, you will do very well.
Mercury is currently retrograde in Leo in your financial eighth house, so you may have been waiting for payments, such as for child support, or money due for work you performed earlier. You should get paid after Mercury goes direct August 10.
During this time when Mercury is in Leo (until September 2), present your ideas confidently. It will be easier than usual to get your foot inside the door of influential people. You may get some enviable publicity during this time or an offer from a competitor for a better job. Your boss may counter with a solid offer in the company you work at now—your services will be in demand in the marketplace. While Mars will help you do the planning, your career will enter an even more active stage after the friendly Libra new moon October 21, two months from now. I believe that is when the offers for a new job or promotion will materialize. Keep in mind this is a very potent period, for you will be proving your worth each day.
Now let’s turn our attention to the gorgeous full moon of August 9 in Aquarius at 17 degrees to light your second house of earned income (yes, this month is very strongly about money). At this full moon you might well conclude a financial deal or finish paying people you owe. Alternatively (or additionally), you will receive checks from others who owe you. If you are negotiating your salary for a new position, it will come to an end within the period of the full moon, August 8 (the day prior) to August 13.
