Capricorn Horoscope for August 2013

The road is its own reward these days, Capricorn. You are on a transformational mission, as you have been for many months now, and you no longer even care very much where it might lead you. Fuzzy logic has taken over. Especially over the course of this slightly insane summer, you are finding spiritual sustenance in unusual places, and more specifically in the process of investigating your own inner depths. Your explorations on the inside involve intimate others, and helpful partnerships of all kinds, as well as important soul connection that serves as a catalyst to your own inner alchemy. Friendships are in flux, along with the group affiliations that you favor, as your worldview morphs to accommodate new ways of being in the world. For you right now it is truly stated that the way down and the way up are one and the same.

As the month begins, you are still basking in the glow of the six-pointed star configuration from the last few days of July, involving your ruler, Saturn, in combination with Neptune, Jupiter and Pluto, plus two of the personal planets, Venus and the Moon, thus helping to foster an emerging emotional connection with self. You are looking for new strategies to bring into your workplace, perhaps reflecting newfound stronger inner integration and self-connection. Having recently been through the Mercury Retrograde period that took place in your opposite sign, you have also been in the process of reviewing and reconsidering your entire relationship dynamic you are also exploring new frontiers in partnership.

The first weekend of August, Mercury finally moves past where it started in late June, when it began moving backward. All during this time, there has been a reflective impulse that in your case centered on how you relate to others, and of what committed partnership might actually consist. You might also look to the position of the Moon in your original solar chart for more clues, since the Moon rules Cancer, the sign on the cusp of your partnership sector, and therefore helps to enliven relationship for you. The nature of Capricorn being somewhat dry and structured, in relationship you look for someone who is emotionally available and nurturing. In the case of these current transits, including the position of the August 6th New Moon, you are being brought out of yourself to include within your own spiritual compass this more emotional and nurturing side of yourself, so that you are now engaged in taking back the projection.

The transformational energy of Pluto, residing in your sign for many months now, is as this month begins opposed by Jupiter and thus you are being given an unusual and very special boost of cosmic energy for change. All this outer planet energy contributes to new ways of seeing and participating in the world around you. As the first week of the month continues to unfold, you are mulling over everything that has gone before this moment in time with a novel openness of spirit and with new eyes.

All this relates back to the position occupied by your ruler, Saturn, currently transiting through the eleventh sector of your solar chart, which is the sector of friendship and group affiliation, societal involvement and networking. This sector is also referenced as one of future orientation: wishes, hopes and plans. All these factors form one focus of your most concentrated development over these current years, through to 2015, which is also a chime with your highest nature as a Capricorn; you are investigating how your own particular and individual genius of expression can make a difference, along the lines that you consider to be the most crucial, for the society that surrounds you and sustains you.
