Capricorn 2012 In-Depth Horoscope

Capricorn Children

Jupiter expands whatever he touches.  He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign.  His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, global perspectives, and a sense that we are all one big happy family and not so very different from each other.  Because of his expansive tendencies, he brings "prosperity" and "abundance" to whatever concept he is focused on.  If things are good, he brings an abundance of good.  If things are bad, he brings an abundance of bad.

As 2012 begins, Jupiter is still in Taurus and your fifth house until June 11th when he moves into Gemini and your sixth house.

In Taurus, Jupiter helps to expand Taurus' love of financial security, materialism, comfort, status, self-worth, and "mine".  Taurus rules over assets, wages, salaries, personal wealth, net worth, and one's sense of self-esteem.  Globally, we will see the economy rebounding in a strong and stable manner.  Like Taurus the Bull, we could also see an increase in stubbornness, caution, and conservatism.  After Aries' fiery power, it is natural to then move into a strong but quiet personal power.  Taurus loves good food, good wine, a comfortable sized savings account, and the ability to relax and enjoy the finer things in life without fear of poverty or competition.  Jupiter helps to boost this type of environment.

For Capricorn, Jupiter will be in your fifth house of personal pleasure, romance, playtime, children, pets, hobbies, creative talents, luxury, and happiness.  As a Capricorn, you are known for your ability to work hard and to take on too much responsibility.  What is not so well known about Capricorns is your love of a good time, your great sense of humor, and your ability to bring that same tenacity and determination into your extracurricular activities.  Hosting Jupiter in your fifth house of playtime should be quite entertaining for you.  And if you are interested in turning a favorite hobby or pastime into a career, you could find Jupiter is able to bring you quite a bit of inspiration and good luck.

In Gemini, Jupiter brings mixed blessings.  Jupiter and Gemini are opposite sides of the same coin.  Gemini rules local communities, one-on-one communications, daily commutes, elementary school level knowledge, small town thinking, siblings, cousins, and extended family.  Jupiter rules countries, mass media, long-distance travel, universities, global awareness, and foreigners.  Both love freedom, flirting, bonding with others, and having fun.  When left to do as he pleases within Gemini, Jupiter will help everyone to be better communicators.  We will all have a little easier time expanding our horizons while staying close to home.  And we should all be able to get along with our neighbors, relatives, and local community members a bit easier.  Industries involving computers, communications, automobiles, local transportation, community outreach, and/or elementary schools should do better while Jupiter is traveling through Gemini.  When other planets clash with Jupiter during his time in Gemini, he could cause people to become lazy thinkers, more bigoted, and/or scattered and unfocused.

For Capricorn, Jupiter will be in your sixth house of daily work, coworkers, to-do lists, chores, productivity, physical fitness, and feeling useful.  Climbing up the Ladder of Success is more exhilarating at this time.  You could also find that athletics and fitness challenges are more motivating than usual, so you might be in the mood to set impressive physical goals for yourself and to then work hard to achieve them.  Along with more clients, more productivity, more achievements, and more excitement in your professional life.  Jupiter could also bring more weight gain.  You have the planet of expansion in the house of physical health, so be mindful.  Use that Gemini Jupiter energy to promote athleticism and intelligent exercise programs rather than gluttony.  However, be careful not to go overboard and create physical injuries by becoming too hard on yourself physically.  Moderation is key even when Jupiter is calling for "more, more, more."

Saturn creates our personal challenges and "tough love" learning experiences.  He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign.  His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful.  Saturn rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty.  Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges.  If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves a zodiac sign.  For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts.  Then, if we learned lessons about professional reputations, taking on leadership roles, etc, and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc.  We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves.  If on the other hand, we did not learn any lessons about our professional conduct, leadership style, etc, or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured.  Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the heck of it.  When in actuality, he is like a "tough love" parent forcing us to grow up and act like a responsible adult.  Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.

As 2012 begins, Saturn is still in Libra and your tenth house until October 5th when he moves into Scorpio and your eleventh house.

While in Libra, Saturn focuses on our partnerships.  Libra rules over marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang).  While in this zodiac sign, Saturn forces us all to look at who we choose to partner with, what kind of partnerships we like, and how we behave within our partnerships.  It is not uncommon for marriages to suffer, best friends to "break up", and for business partnerships to dissolve.  Competitors can become vicious, especially if they are pointing out real flaws in our character and not just making stuff up.  Libra rules diplomacy, fairness, justice, and mediation too.  Globally, we could see these topics becoming quite challenging for all countries.  Various government leaders will be challenged to pick carefully which countries they choose to partner with and which they choose to keep as enemies.  They would do well to remember Saturn's focus on karma, integrity, and civic responsibility.

For Capricorn, hosting Saturn in the tenth house can be very painful.  The tenth house is ruled by Capricorn, so what happens here is taken very personally.  The tenth house is about our professional aspirations, goals, public reputation, leadership, fame, civic duty, integrity, and climbing the Ladder of Success.  It is difficult for anyone to work hard towards a professional goal and NOT receive the immediate benefits of those efforts.  Having to learn life lessons about our professional image, leadership style, or even how best to go about moving up that ladder of success can be bad enough.  However, when you are a Capricorn and see these things as extremely important, it becomes even more of a personal challenge.  Luckily (or maybe not), since Capricorns are ruled by Saturn (the Tough Love Parent), we learn at a young age how to be stoic, put our nose to the grindstone, and "keep on keeping on" until we finally get to that place of accomplishment that we are trying to attain.  As a fellow Capricorn and having dealt with Saturn going through this same spot in my personal chart just as I was launching this business, I can say that it is professional hell, but the lessons are invaluable and well worth it.  In addition, it is not unusual for people to suddenly change careers when Saturn passes over their Midheaven (that spot in the chart that is the borderline between the ninth and tenth houses).  Capricorns dealt with Saturn passing back and forth over our Midheaven between October 2009 and July 2010, so that adds to the possibility that a major job change occurred.  Shortly after Saturn passed over my Midheaven, I began offering my horoscopes to the general public.  Before that, they were a private hobby.  I never intended to become a professional astrologer and I did not stop being a self-help writer.  I simply found that a new career materialized out of nowhere.  So part of your professional challenges and learning experiences could be around a new career path that opened up for you in the last few years.  Just keep in mind that the tough lessons you are learning are meant to help you become a better leader and to help you gain the respect and admiration of your peers.

In Scorpio, Saturn finds himself in friendly territory.  Scorpio rules over things like trust, loyalty, and profits.  While Saturn rules over an area of the zodiac that focuses on civic duty, professionalism, success, and leadership.  Saturn rules over karma and Scorpio rules over trust.  Saturn is very comfortable traveling through Scorpio.  While in Scorpio, Saturn will be testing us, teaching us, challenging us, and/or revealing karma owed concerning the topics of trust and sharing, intimacy, fidelity, spousal and child support, joint assets, joint ventures, investments, stocks, commissions, royalties, tips and gratuities, inheritances, loans, lotteries, taxes, and other forms of profit sharing.  Scorpio also rules over hidden agendas, secret motivations, deep psychological issues, and those times when we want to hide away in our secret cave to lick our wounds and heal from some harsh battle, emotional trauma, etc that we have endured.  Scorpio brings us the life-death-rebirth cycles and the Phoenix Rising phenomena.  Those who have been greedy, selfish, and irresponsible with investments, stocks, and other profit sharing activities could find that karma is not so kind to them.  Globally, we might find that it is time to revamp our financial systems and to make things more fair, honest, and equitable.  Scorpio also rules over romantic commitments, fidelity, and the sharing of intimate secrets.  Saturn will expect us all to conduct ourselves more ethically within our love lives and to not be selfish or dishonest with our lovers.

For Capricorn, Saturn is now going to focus his "tough love" teaching moments on your friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, group activities, and the Internet sector.  You are by nature, a loyal and reliable person.  You take your friendships very seriously, preferring a small handful of deeply connected friends to a huge number of superficial buddies.  You are also an amazing team player often taking on more than your fair share of the work and responsibilities.  Having Saturn teach you "life lessons" by challenging this area of your life can be hard on you.  Saturn's goal is to make you a better friend, teammate, and colleague.  He is also working to teach you a thing or two about whom you chose as friends and associates and why that matters.  You could find that groups, teamwork, networking, ecommerce, and Internet activities are also susceptible to Saturn's teaching moments too.  Saturn cares deeply about things like honor, loyalty, and dependability, so do not be surprised if these are the topics he focuses on while traveling through your social life.

Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of the zodiac.  He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign.  He rules over friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science, interconnectivity, electricity, and the Internet.  He can bring teamwork, friendships, networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves into our lives.  He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity.  This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual selves but also to be a great team player.  Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure.  Those who master Uranus' teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders.  Uranus also encourages us to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives.  Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises and unexpected chaos.  Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, "all for one and one for all", and "united we stand, divided we fall."  He is not asking us to be sheeple following the crowd mentality with blind faith.  He is asking us to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-knowledge to be able to work well in a team and to be able to socialize without losing our sense of individuality.

As 2012 begins, Uranus is still in Aries and your fourth house where he will stay for the next few years.

There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003.  While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed.  Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet.  Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.  

From 2003 until 2010, Uranus was in Pisces.  Here he was somewhat subdued.  Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and "fogginess" are ruled by Pisces.  Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online.  We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam.  We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and "positive attitude" information readily available as well.  Is it any wonder that people became addicted to the Internet?  On the other hand, Uranus' time in Pisces helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know.  Global brotherhood became much easier to encompass.  Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism.  Together, they brought us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries.  Uranus within Pisces helped us show our support to protestors in foreign countries and helped us send money and prayers to earthquake, tsunami, flood, and other disaster victims.  Uranus was "foggy" and stifled within Pisces, but not without his charms and brilliance.

Once Uranus moved into Aries, he began to have some fun.  Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea.  Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one's self, and a brainstorming genius.  Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn.  Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness.  Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy.  It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and "me first!"  Does "me" or "we" prevail?  It seems to me that this is a "we the people" time in history.  Governments, corporations, dictators, and others that would try to control the ignorant masses could find that "we the people" is a stronger and more passionate force to be reckoned with than what is expected.  The peasants might appear to be fat and lazy or uneducated and unorganized, but Uranus within Aries creates a lovely energy for uniting people under a single cause and motivating groups to move in unison.  We will see more of this in the voting booths as well as in the public marches and demonstrations.

For Capricorn, Uranus is in your fourth house of real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement planning, and coming home.  Your home life can become exhilarating and/or chaotic.  You could find chaos, electrical problems, rebellion (do you have teenagers at home?), and/or issues with trying to create a calm stable private life.  You can also find that teamwork, friendships, genius, and innovation are part of your home life.  A roommate, elderly parent, your retirement plans, your private life, or even the physical home itself could become unpredictable.  Something usually happens to shake up our sense of having "roots".  You could lose your parents (literally or figuratively).  You could move a lot and feel unsettled and nomadic.  You could spend time reevaluating your childhood issues and find you are forced to work through these issues so that you can finally move on.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a bit of magic to whatever he touches.  Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too.  He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign.  Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic.  If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2012 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your second house until February 3rd when he moves into Pisces and your third house.  He will stay in this new location until 2025.

In Aquarius, Neptune has been behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus.  Uranus was in Neptune's zodiac sign and Neptune was in Uranus' zodiac sign.  They were each doing their thing, but focusing on the other's topics.  While Uranus was creating brotherhood online, Neptune was trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone.  One brought teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brought humanitarian causes to teamwork.  One said, "I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player."  The other said, "I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured."  Is it any wonder that "Yes we can" became the global motto in 2008?  To some, it was a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible "kool-aid" drinking.  To others, it was the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Capricorn, Neptune has been blessing your second house of personal wealth and self-worth.  Since Neptune rules over fogginess among other things, he tends to have a "now you see it, now you don't" affect on the financial sectors.  All Capricorns to some extent have been dealing with this over the last few years.  Money flows magically into our lives and magically right back out again.  Since Neptune also rules over spirituality, mental health, intuition, and charities, it is not surprising that many Capricorns have found that by working in these types of industries, they are finally able to manifest a bit of personal wealth.  Any job that brings emotional well-being, compassion, love, and caring into your life is going to be financially beneficial at this time.  It is not that you cannot have money; it is that Neptune would rather give you peace of mind and a sense of pride that you took the path of "heart" over the path of "wealth".  In addition, since Neptune does work in magical and paranormal ways, you could have found that for the most part, your material needs were always taken care of even if your bank account lacked impressiveness.

In Pisces, Neptune is literally at home.  Neptune rules over Pisces and the concepts of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-destruction, dishonesty, gullibility, emotional well-being, inner peace, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, hospitals, prisons, corporations, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Neptune is stronger here than he has been in a very long time.  He will do his best to bring out the loving, compassionate, peaceful, charitable, and magical elements of Pisces.  However, there will be times when other planets are clashing with Neptune and he will instead bring deceit, delusion, and bureaucratic red tape into our lives.

For Capricorn, Neptune will be in your third house of communications, commerce, and community.  Neptune adds intuition, compassion, spirituality, and/or inner peace aspects to your interpersonal communications, your business dealings, and/or your relationships with family and people in your local community.  Unfortunately, when planets clash with Neptune, he can add self-destruction, gullibility, secrets, mental health issues, deceit, and/or intellectual "fogginess" to these same activities.  On good days, Neptune helps you to intuitively "know" when to call a relative to check on them.  On bad days, Neptune makes it hard for you to communicate effectively.  It can be as if you are speaking different languages the way that people just do not seem to understand what you are saying.  You want to be a kind and compassionate person even if that makes you gullible sometimes and it means that your kindness is sometimes mistaken for something that it is not.  For example, you might want to tell someone of the opposite sex how much you appreciate their help in your life, but they think you are flirting with them and that causes all kinds of drama.  Or you are trying to negotiate a pay raise, but because you are being kind and compassionate throughout the process, your boss takes it to mean that you are not very passionate about wanting the increase in salary.  And of course, the needy, greedy, and seedy types are magnetically attracted to your desire to be kind and caring, so you will have to be very careful about who you do and do not trust at this time.  Overall, Neptune works to help you to spiritually and intuitively figure out how to get your needs met and how to connect with others on a more meaningful level.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches.  He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign.  His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience.  It can be painful to endure Pluto's scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting.  Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto's passage through certain areas of the zodiac.  Pluto rules over trust and sharing.  It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of.  Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves.  And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too.  All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons.  The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto.  Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio.  From Scorpio's perspective, nothing could possibly be more important than the ability to trust others.

As 2012 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your first house.  He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers.  Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and "tough love" style life lessons.  Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of "tough love", doing one's civic duty, and ideas like "If I don't take care of this, who will?"  When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc.  Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings.  The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality.  We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media.  Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such.  Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world.  Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices?  Do we have integrity in our government agencies?  Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries... do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas?  It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc.  Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner.  We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Capricorn, Pluto is in your first house of self-identity, personality, outer image, and one's sense of "me".  Pluto rules over trust and sharing, sexual unions, fidelity, joint finances, inheritances, commissions, royalties, stock options, insurances, taxes, lotteries, and other forms of profit sharing.  Pluto also rules over Scorpios, passion, psychological secrets, uncovering hidden truths, personal rebirth, the Phoenix Rising, and trusting that tomorrow can be better than today.  These things all became gifts for Capricorns to use once Pluto moved into Capricorn.  The entire world will be doing these things in a Capricorn manner.  This is an extremely passionate personal power for you.  You get to borrow Scorpio's tenacity, stamina, and gifts until 2024.  You can use it for business, for romance, for leadership roles, for personal healing, and for helping to steer the world into a better direction.  Capricorn's motto should be, "If I don't do it, then who will?"  People think you are workaholics when in actuality, it is your sense of civic duty and your sense of obligation to look after those you care about that makes you work so hard.  Now you have the ability to make incredible changes in your own life and in the lives of those you care about.  You could find yourself having Scorpio's sex appeal and an aura of mystery about you.  You could also find that you are more attracted to Scorpios as friends, lovers, and business partners, because you can really relate to them at this time.

There are times during this year when these big slow moving planets clash with each other and create a huge uproar in everyone’s life and there are times when they team up together to accomplish great things in our lives.  More detailed forecasts explaining how these slow moving planets will interact with each other (including how the faster more temperamental planets will affect us) are also available.
