You’re in for a roller coaster ride as the week begins, Capricorn! A Venus-Uranus opposition on Sunday could bring about an unexpected showdown between you and a lover or someone close to you. Uranus is the planet of erratic behavior, but whether you’re the firecracker or someone else is remains to be seen. Venus will try to put you in the driver’s seat and maintain some decorum but there will still be friction. It’s possible that a family member may be sticking their nose in your personal affairs and you’ll have to remind them of their boundaries. And if setting boundaries has been a problem for you in the past, now that Jupiter is in your authoritative tenth house it should get a lot easier.
Speaking of boundaries and who’s wearing the pants, a sweet sextile between the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, occurs on Monday. You won’t be interested in being anyone’s doormat, but as this is a positive event, if you need to seize more control in a romantic relationship this is the day to do it. Mars can be assertive to the point of aggressive, but its position in your laid back twelfth house indicates that more subtle psychological means are the best way to go. Ultimatums? Threats? Drama? Not needed today. You can get what you want without being militant.
Both Tuesday and Friday bring a lucky trine between Pluto and Mercury. The messenger planet has been retrograde in your enterprising ninth house of expansion, freedom and lofty goals. On Tuesday it holds a secret meeting with power broker Pluto and these two bad boys seem intent on wrapping up something that’s important to you. On Thursday Mercury goes direct, meaning that whatever has been quietly in the works is now ready for “publication” on Friday. Kudos!
And to make things even sweeter, the fiery Sun rolls into your tenth house of ambition and career on Thursday for a four-week stay. El Sol will join benevolent Jupiter, making the next month one of your best times in over a decade to make progress with something you’re passionate about.
Call a friend (or a few!) and head our for a fun night out on the town on Friday, when Venus enters your house of camaraderie and networking. The people in your circle can be quite beneficial to you over the next few weeks, introducing you to interesting new faces.
