Your Horoscope for Capricorn
by Susan Miller
The moon is the fastest moving body in our solar system, only staying in a sign for two and a half days. Soon you will notice that certain days are especially good for you when the moon is in a certain sign simply by casual observation over time.
If you have any important initiation to make at this full moon, you want to stay away from the void moon (August 9). Instead, use the day before the full moon, August 8, which is sensational. I am glad the moon will still be in Aquarius and building in strength toward its peak fullness. It is true that Mercury will be retrograde, and normally I would wait until Mercury is officially out of retrograde, but this is a good example of how I have to weigh all the aspects and not just look at one aspect in the sky above.
I feel August 8 is so loaded with absolutely fabulous aspects that it will drown out any little pesky antics Mercury retrograde could ever dream up. August 8 is your day, dear Capricorn, to ask for money, invest in your business, open the doors of your business, or introduce a new product or service that could earn you a new source of income—there are many possibilities. Of course, you will have needed to have signed your contracts before Mercury went retrograde.
Now let’s turn to the rare conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in Cancer that will happen on August 12 (or August 11, depending on your location). Venus is the natural ruler of your solar tenth house of career success and is also the ruler of your solar fifth house of true love, care of children, and your creativity. Both of these areas of your chart—love and career—will benefit. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune and happiness and usually brings along a good sum of money too, when Venus is working with you in a business setting.
