Friendships
This year, your social circle undergoes changes, with the potential for friendships to transform into deeper bonds or romantic partnerships and business connections. As the year begins during Capricorn season, you may not feel inclined to host a grand birthday celebration. However, it’s important to connect with friends, even if it’s through a laid-back dinner. With the sun in your sign, take this opportunity to enjoy some festivity, embrace the chance to wear sparkly makeup, and celebrate the sea-goat before Aquarius season begins on Saturday, January 20.
You want to write down that there’s a t new moon and solar eclipse in Aries and your 4th House of Home and Family on Monday, April 8, symbolizing new beginnings. Yes, this could indicate that some Capricorns are having children, but it’s also a reminder of the value of chosen families, a concept understood and cherished, particularly within the LGBTQIA+ community. Investing in friendships can be as fulfilling as traditional family ties.
On Friday, November 1, a new moon in Scorpio brings networking opportunities through friendships, a prospect that aligns well with your ambitious nature. However, if you feel on edge around this time, prioritize self-care and relaxation (loungewear helps) to ensure you don’t disrupt any potential connections with your snark that sneaks out under stress.
Finally, another key transit is Juno’s, the asteroid of commitment, entry into intense Scorpio and your 11th House of Friendship on Sunday, November 3. This event likely solidifies a relationship that gained significance during the solar eclipse in April. Make sure to nurture it, even if you consider yourself an introvert and need to get pumped up before reaching out to make social plans.
Career
Capricorn, your 2024 career horoscope heralds a transformative year with major makeovers in your professional and creative endeavors. By year’s end, your artistic or business pursuits are set to reach new heights, aligning with your dreams and aspirations. We can’t control the unfair economy, but that’s what the stars say. The year kicks off with a burst of energy as Mars, the planet of assertion and drive, enters your sign on Thursday, January 4. This transit empowers you to fight for your dreams and advance in your career, even as others are still sleeping off their hangovers. Your efforts during this period promise a fabulous start to the year, setting a tone of success.
You’ll likely begin to see the fruits of your labor when Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and finances, enters Aquarius and your 2nd House of Possessions on Friday, February 16. While this house traditionally relates to money, it also encompasses emotional well-being. This period is about more than financial gain; it’s also a time to confront and overcome any feelings of imposter syndrome.
Be prepared for two pivotal eclipses in your 10th House, bringing massive and necessary changes. The first, a full moon and lunar eclipse in Libra on Monday, March 25, may signal the end of an unhealthy business relationship. If you don’t take the initiative to address poor treatment yourself, this cosmic event will do so for you. By summer, following the rich full moon in Capricorn on Friday, June 21, you’ll have recovered from the eclipse’s impact. The second eclipse, a new moon and solar eclipse in Libra and your 10th House on Wednesday, October 2, focuses on new beginnings in your professional life. Any relationships or opportunities you had to let go of earlier in the year were merely clearing the way for more rewarding and healthier connections.
Health & Wellness
Capricorn, your health and wellness is a journey of overcoming fears and embracing personal growth, backed by the cosmic support of expansive Jupiter and transformative Pluto. The pivotal moment comes when Jupiter enters Gemini and your 6th House of Health on Saturday, May 25. This transit encourages you to tackle a fear, vice, or bad habit head-on. Remember, as a Capricorn, you embody the strength of the earth sign and the resilience of the sea-goat, adept in both material and emotional realms. The sea-goat is just what it sounds like: half a mermaid-like creature capable of exploring the water, which represents emotions, plus a goat, who navitagates life on soil. Should you encounter obstacles in this endeavor, draw on your inherent stubbornness and strength. The stars are rooting for you. A significant breakthrough is likely during the new moon in Gemini on Thursday, June 6, the lunar phase associated with new beginnings and fresh insights.
2024 also brings not one, but two full moons in your sign – the first on Friday, June 21, and the second on Wednesday, July 21. These events could bring welcome news, but be aware that full moons often heighten emotions and stress. It’s a reminder to pace yourself, particularly in your professional life, and give yourself a chance to breathe and relax. That’s a tough order for a hardworking Capricorn, but you can do it.
On Sunday, September 1, Pluto Retrograde enters your sign, Capricorn, the theme continues, as you are challenged to confront and overcome your deep-seated fears and bad habits. Whether it’s a fear of flying, hesitancy in applying for a dream job, or reluctance in advancing a thriving relationship, now is the time to push past these barriers. Your tendency to procrastinate or resist change has got to go. And, by the time lovely Venus enters your sign on Monday, November 11, you’re a happier, healthier, and more successful version of yourself.
