Capricorn
The problem with being a high achiever – which as a Capricorn you doubtless are, or at least someone who has managed to put a roof or three over your head – is that it’s gets so damn exhausting. And when you look back and down, at the poor impoverished scrap you were when you started out, and at the heaving masses scrabbling to climb the lofty peaks where you sit…well it can make you giddy.
This autumn is not the time to go losing your nerve, however. Saturn, the Goat’s unflinching ruler, is at its most relentless, asking you to exercise your staying powers, conjure up the commanding perspective that makes you such a formidable operator, and show the world your skills. This summer (late July in particular) has already indicated the issues in play (power and money of course). That there aren’t any quick fixes or easy options is the message likely to be repeated come the equinox. For those of you born before Christmas – and who therefore have Pluto strong in the planetary mix – drastic action may be the only and right course; opting for early retirement or changing jobs for example. For most of you it’s case of hanging in and dealing with pressure in your customary, unflappable way. You may wish to make it clear just how indispensable you are, rather than just getting on with the job.
It isn’t as if you are without allies. Mars in Scorpio from the 15th makes being seen part of the team a strong hand to play – you won’t agree with everyone around the cabinet table, but you can rub along with them, though the person you can rely on most remains yourself.
Until the 15th you should take every opportunity to indulge in ‘me time’ – it isn’t in fact indulgence but ensuring your physical and mental batteries remain topped up. Good time for research too.
Personal relationships are shifting into a more congenial phase, not least those involving the family, where summer’s dramas are either resolved or shelved. Here, the full Moon of the 23rd may come as a climactic point. Romance: its looks like the school of hard knocks and difficult to please customers, giving way to something more stirring in the latter half of the month.
Power days: 16th and 17th.
