Your Horoscope for Capricorn
by Susan Miller
Additionally, at the full moon August 9, Pluto in your earned income sector (second house) will send a beam to Mars in your career sector. This is additional evidence that you can ask for, and likely get, a bigger salary increase than you assumed.
Simultaneously, you are now in a very important period for career advancement—the most important in two years. Mars will enter your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement on August 6 and remain there until September 22. You will have courage, confidence, energy, and drive—use this wonderful energy of Mars to get to where you want to be. VIPs will listen to what you have to say
While August represents a generally slow period professionally for most people, because VIPs are often away on vacation, you will be the exception to the rule—your career is on fire. You can make a lot of impressive professional progress and bring in more than one victory during this short but potent period.
If you are anxious to take a break for a vacation, you might be able to do so in the two weeks following the new moon of August 22 in your distant travel sector (ninth house). There’s a problem, however—Uranus may interfere with your best laid plans when seeds of an important assignment could pop up and prevent you from leaving, and your boss could become upset you are taking time off when the office is busy.
Also, if you are self-employed, there is some indication an important client could come in, and being gone would likely have a negative impact on your future earnings.
It’s your choice—with money scarce for everyone these days, you might just opt to stay and work. You may want to take advantage of adding this prestigious client to your roster. You can always find time to take a vacation later. The eclipse next month might set you off on an exciting adventure, so don’t be blue—lots of coming surprises are due!
