Your Week Ahead starting Saturday 8 January 2011: Every law has a loophole and every cloud has a silver lining. We often attain greatest success as a direct result of our ability to think inventive thoughts and to read between the lines. Your own talent in this area is about to reward you. To fully engage your creativity, though, you must first disengage the 'emotional gear' you are driving forward in. Your current psychological journey requires you to cover a lot of ground. You care deeply about what is happening all around. That's admirable. But if you care too much, you'll get too caught up in the detail. Keep the broader view in mind. Your Week Ahead - Love Focus: 'Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no.' This was Jimmy Cliff's motto. Usually it is your motto too. It is always comforting to be clear. Indecision is like an icy wind, blowing into a warm house through some crack in the window. It's impossible to properly relax around such a nuisance. Lately, there has been far too much uncertainty for comfort - and even where things have been definite, those definites have not been easy to accept. That's partly why you have been so keen to keep your options open. But current cosmic conditions suggest you can be clear and sure about something that inspires you.

Week ahead...
Week of January 3, 2011: This week may leave you feeling a lot different than when it started. The Solar Eclipse in your sign is going to encourage you to make changes on a number of levels. The supercharged New Moon may sweep away areas of your life that no longer have any real relevance for you and introduce you to people or situations that do. Your brilliance will be rewarded, especially if you follow your intuition and share your ideas with the right people. Money can be made.
Your Week Ahead starting Saturday 1 January 2011 - Love Focus: Take a long stick of willow or bamboo. Hold it between the tips of your finger and your thumb. Now go walking. Keep your eye on the stick. Watch to see if it starts to wobble. The moment it does, stop. Stand very still. As a Capricorn you are naturally in tune with the energies of the earth. It's time to explore your ability to dowse for hidden treasures. As Saturn and Venus begin to align, the year that has begun with a solar eclipse in your sign begins to bring many blessings. You may not be about to find water, oil or gold but you are about to find the source of a very special, long-lasting reward.

Colour: Snow White
This is your time of the year, Capricorn. The stars are truly aligning in your favour! And with the New Moon solar eclipse in Capricorn on 4 January, your New Year gets off to quite a deliberate and unmistakably driven start. You begin the month possessed by the feeling that there is no time to waste this year—and right you are. With a life agenda like yours, there truly are no seconds that can’t be put to good use for your over-achieving cause. The Full Moon in your relationship sector brings some one-to-one dramas to a head on 19 January. If you’re not already in a relationship, be open to cupid’s arrow around this date. When Saturn goes retrograde on 25 January you may feel like someone suddenly slammed on the breaks, but consider this a necessary pause-and-reflect period. You’ll have a chance to look back over all of your partnership lessons since last June. Look at how much you’ve learned about yourself during the past six months, using all of your intimate encounters as a lens. You’re still determining the losers and the keepers in your life; there’s little room left for anyone in between.

Capricorn
Jump right in. The dark, dank days of winter are, as every Goat knows, custom made for hard work (with occasional forays to the underground vault to ensure your fortune is intact). Today’s new Moon squares your planet, Saturn, making the realisation of last year’s endeavours the month’s business. ‘Realisation’ in this instance meaning shaking on a deal, a tangible purchase, gaining a job. At the least you need clear acknowledgment of where professional duties and responsibilities start and finish.
Thanks to the recent Mercury Retrograde you’re playing catch-up until the messenger planet makes up lost ground, around the 17th. The presence of Mercury’s whirring wings brings Important News over the next month – stay in touch. Mars whose assertive energies are by tradition ‘exalted’ in the Goat’s skies, is also on side until the 17th, adding to the sense of things moving quickly.
In short, it’s a time for no-messing (heaven help those who tangle with you just now). Today’s new Moon in your sign is a solar eclipse (super fresh start imminent if it’s your birthday today) while the full Moon of the 19th falls in the last, wild card degree of your sign. That sound you can hear if of Capricorns drawing a line under the recent past.
Fresh starts arrive in a steady stream in the early part of the year. Jupiter crosses the root of your ‘scope on January 22nd to shake up your domestic agenda over the ensuing four months. A swift overhaul of Capricorn Towers fits the bill, even relocation, though awkward but intense April may find the holes in your plans and the cracks in your foundations.
Jupiter’s arrival in Taurus (a fellow earth sign) in June is an even fresher start, opening up an 18 month spell when your commitment to your profession is rivalled by the non-work worlds of travel, hobbies and kids. Enjoyment in short. It’s a chance to remind the world that fertility and joy are as much part of your make-up as resourcefulness and duty. Promising times for lovers too.
The distant speck of Pluto continues to traverse the early degrees of the Sea Goat (that’s you, with fishy tail). Pluto has a spooky reputation – consider the myth of the god of the underworld – but it can mark a moment of longed-for transformation; consider the case of Ed Miliband (b. 24/12/69) who became leader at the point when Pluto crossed his Capricorn Sun. Birthdays between 22-29 December have Pluto’s attention this year.

Your January Monthly Forecast: Things often go wrong. That's why many people feel it's appropriate to be pessimistic. Sometimes, though, things work out wonderfully well. Often we don't notice how well the world works until it stops working the way that we want it to. Or that, at least, is what the optimists say, and they may well have a point. So, should you be optimistic or pessimistic in January? Well, actually, you can be as pessimistic as you want to be! It's not going to make much difference. You don't need to rely on the power of positive thought to have a positive experience. The solar eclipse in your sign insists it's coming your way, anyway.
2011...
Change is practically synonymous with your name at this point, Capricorn. You’ve been through more personal transformation in the past two years than should be humanly possible. The upside is that you’re getting used to the intensity of it all. The focus shifts from gadgets, information and social networking to introspection, home and family this year. You are about to encounter your most uncensored, raw self. Ready yourself Goat, because this spring an explosion of fiery planets in Aries sweeps the very base of your horoscope, getting you back in touch with some of your most primal instincts. Competition, ambition, and trailblazing are what get you out of bed in the morning in 2011.
Love:
Co-dependence is a thing of the past this year. Saturn is teaching you how to regain the balance in relationships, while a major conglomeration of planets in Aries this spring is a reminder to stay true to number one. Any fears of appearing selfish must be eradicated. Be the change you want to see in your love life, Capricorn. Jupiter, the beloved planet of good fortune, enters your romance sector this June, bringing love and pleasure in plenty. Expect a windfall of romantic interludes to make this a gorgeous summer to remember. Sensual pleasures abound. Take a risk, wear your heart on your sleeve and expand your vision of what you never thought was possible in love.
Career and Money:
With Saturn continuing his exalted trip through the sign of Libra, your career continues to take precedence. There is just so much going on at such a non-stop pace that even you, one of the most grounded and head-strong signs of the zodiac, will crave balance in other areas of your life. What you produce, practice and put out into the world will have consequences for the next thirteen years. June and July are by far your busiest work months so be sure to keep other commitments to a minimum. Late September/early October offer the best opportunities to garner recognition. With the majority of planets in Aries pushing you to put yourself out on a limb (despite Saturn’s usual reserve), risk-taking is infinitely rewarded in 2011. Go for broke!
Friendship:
Jolly Jupiter, the planet of abundance, shoots beams to your pleasure and social sectors this summer. It’s all about bringing the love and pleasure back into your world in bigger than life ways. The presence of Pluto in your sign reminds you on a daily basis that you cannot compromise your truth for safety. Intensity, effortless loyalty and a true meeting of souls are the basic minimum requirements for you to spend time cultivating or preserving friendships. No longer will you compromise or go for shallow substitutes. When Venus enters your stars in late November through most of December, you’ll be feeling the love. It doesn’t hurt that you’re at your most charming just in time for your birthday; you’ll be surrounded by mates that adore you.
Health:
Balance is the key to your wellbeing while Saturn continues his trip through the sign of the scales. When a mega-monopoly of Aries planets moves into your domestic sector between March and May, you’ll be craving quality time at home to get yourself back. Balancing domestic and career needs becomes a dire albeit difficult necessity. But if anyone can find the time to do it all, it’s you Capricorn. Time management has never been more crucial in keeping you healthy and happy. Put your health first and work second.
