2010 - stars n shit!

CAPRICORN 22 December-19 January Slow and steady is famously Capricorn's way of climbing the lofty peaks of success that are the Mountain Goat's natural habitat. Abrupt change and uncharted events bring alarm, threatening the Goat's all-important need to feel in control.

Two sets of eclipses across the zodiac's Capricorn-Cancer axis are a clue that you may have to be more adaptable in 2010, a year when your sign is never far from the planetary action. Birthdays between 22 to 27 December may already be feeling the mixture of professional pressures and opportunities that accompany Saturn's attentions, and which are extended to later birthdays come the autumn.

Being your ruling planet, Saturn's demands – prudence, pragmatism, graft – hold few terrors for a Capricorn, though the planet's back and forth motion across the pinnacle of your 'scope this summer are a cue to reassess your career arc, and to ask where you'd like to be in three years' time, when the ringed planet moves on.

In the immediate future, 2010 gets off to a slow but sweet start. A lunar eclipse on New Year's Eve and a solar eclipse on 15 January are both accompanied by Venus, planet of partnership and happy connections, making for bright birthday parties. With Mercury backwards until the 15th (until when little happens quickly) that day's new Moon is the springboard of your year.

At the same time Jupiter shifts sign. The giant planet ("the greater fortune" by tradition) has hopefully helped you maintain money flow in 2009. Now it focuses on commerce, networking, neighbourhood organisations and the power of the printed or spoken word. As Jupiter is allied with technology planet Uranus for most of 2010, consider raising your internet profile or upgrading your software. Those involved in teaching or fashion are promised an expansionist year.

This pair of planets crisscrossing the root of your 'scope from June through August, signal a possible shake-up of domestic arrangements, or a glimpse of how you might rearrange them in 2011. As another pair of eclipses arrive on 26 June and 11 July, summer finds change in the air. If you're not busy with bucket and spade on an idyllic beach, August is a potent month for relaunching your professional life, ready for the sterner terrain of the autumn. If you were born December '80 or January '81, autumn's "Saturn Return" is the time to gain promotion… or change career.

Finances – especially those involving outstanding debts, inheritances and the like – threaten to drag until Mars' resumes forward motion in early March. The same time-frame applies to a rocky relationship, and if you want to dump an outworn partnership those eclipses are all in accord.


Cap Now that the Pluto metamorphosis is deeply in process, you’re getting used to having your world rocked every few days by earth-shattering events. In fact when things become too status quo, you start to get nervous. During 2010, the themes of integrity and perseverance continue to dominate your personal philosophy. The weeding out of all that doesn’t align with your highest truth is an ongoing process– it goes on for the next thirteen years. Wasting time on the inauthentic is a painful relic of 2009—in fact, wasting time at all is something you must refuse to ever let happen again. Every second is precious in order to fulfill your monumental mission in life, Capricorn.
Love:
Profound gains and losses apply to all areas of your life during Pluto’s long-term excavation process—but especially love. In any case, you can expect to have your heart forced wide open. Your deepest lessons come during the months of April through September when Pluto is out of phase in Capricorn. This gives you the necessary time to reflect on everything you’ve experienced during the first quarter of the year. This is when to take your relationships and your love to the next level.
Career and Money:
With your ruler Saturn in exalted status sitting pretty at the zenith of your horoscope, the world is your oyster darling. 2010 begins with major eclipse action hitting your constellation, ensuring that change is monumental, especially in the career department. What Capricorn wants, Capricorn manifests—and with no shortage of hard work. With Pluto and Saturn, the two heavy planetary weights on your side, anything is possible now. An extra bonus: you’re finally able to wed your creative vision with your innate discipline in 2010.
Friendship:
With the immense amount of hard work, who has time to play? Well Capricorn, the planetary forces insist that you change that tune and get more balance in your life. This requires revamping your social life and reviving sinking friendships. You’ll have to be the one to reach out and rekindle your connections. As with everything in your world for 2010, friendships old and new will have a fated quality to them. Take nothing lightly this year, including acquaintances close and distant.
Health:
Expect extremes in health from robust vitality to total energetic blowouts. Again the operative theme is balance. Strike that elusive equilibrium between work and leisure instead of burning the Capricorn candle at both ends (and then some). This will ensure that you stay on the right track. Pay special attention to the needs of your immune system when Pluto is out of phase between April and September. And most importantly stop beating yourself up—do it for your health.
