Capricorn monthly horoscope

Dec 21 to Jan 19

The ladder stayed out all month

Work had the Sun for most of October. It moved through Libra, in your career corner, and the New Moon there on October 10 was a good moment to start something with your name on it. Saturn, your ruling planet, is retrograde in Aries, in your home corner, and on October 4 the Sun stood opposite it. So the office and the house both wanted you at once. You gave each what it needed, and nobody thanked you. Thank you. Mars in Leo sits in the part of your chart about what you share, and the Mars and Saturn trine on October 16 meant a small hard thing at home got done. Possibly with a borrowed drill. Since October 23 the Sun has been in Scorpio, in your friends corner, and Mercury has backed up into the same place, so an old friend is on your mind. The Moon in Cancer is opposite your sign as the month ends. Let somebody else carry the plates this once, and try not to watch how they do it.

Next up: November 2026

Quiet progress, mostly behind the scenes

Saturn, your ruling planet, is still retrograde in Aries this month, in your home corner, and it stays that way until December 10. So the house remains a slow job. That is fine by you. Meanwhile the Sun in Scorpio sits in your friends corner, and the New Moon there on November 9 is a good time to join something, or to tell a friend the true version. Venus goes direct on November 14 in your career corner, and a work matter that stalled in October starts moving. Do not rush it, and do not take the credit yet. Mars and Jupiter meet in Leo on November 16, in the part of your chart about what you share. Someone close has a large idea, and it involves you. On November 22 the Sun enters Sagittarius, in your rest corner, and you start wanting early nights. On November 25 Mars enters Virgo, far from all this, in your far places corner. You may start looking at maps.
