Capricorn Horoscope for December 2013
By Susan Miller
As the month begins, you find yourself thinking about the year ahead, and all you hope to do to transform your life to one that is happier and more fulfilling. Daydreaming is an important activity now, so don't wave it off as a waste of time - quite the contrary, it is the way the mind sees possibilities for the future. This month, rather than do less daydreaming, you must teach yourself to daydream with greater frequency.
A gorgeous new moon, December 2, in Sagittarius (11 degrees), will appear in your subconscious sector. This tells me that the more clearly you can imagine the future, the more likely you are to realize it. See your life as a movie, with all the tiniest details, with you in the role you want most. Experts say the mind can't discern the difference between memories and dreams - they are all processed the same way in your visual right brain, so if you convince yourself that you have already experienced the success you want, you will be on your way toward having it. Your intuition will be razor sharp this month too and you may get feelings of premonition - if so, listen to your inner voice, as it is there to protect you.
The twelfth house also the house of confinement, where we go to such places as a hospital or rehab center or have regular visits to a physical therapy center (as some examples) in an effort to feel better and to even possibly be cured. If you have been putting off any surgery that your doctor recommends, or a dental or medical procedure you know you need, this is the time to do it, especially in early to mid-December. Alternatively, you may be helping a family member with a medical matter this month, and that might explain why you would find yourself visiting a facility of healing and interacting with medical personnel.
This is a friendly new moon, December 2, for Uranus will send an encouraging beam to create sudden opportunity. Uranus is now in your home sector, so you may get a chance to improve your housing quite suddenly, out of the blue. Alternatively you may be helping a parent who needs assistance. Uranus has the power to bring an unexpected breakthrough, so stay alert.
The full moon on December 17, in Gemini 25 degrees will bring a health or work matter to culmination. This is another friendly moment of the month, where you may be wrapping up a big project. You'll have only until December 20 to do so, as all full moons have about a three to four
The full moon on December 17, in Gemini 25 degrees will bring a health or work matter to culmination. This is another friendly moment of the month, where you may be wrapping up a big project. You'll have only until December 20 to do so, as all full moons have about a three to four day field of influence after they appear. If you have been getting treatment, say, in physical therapy for a stiff knee, this full moon will bring that protocol of therapy to an end.
Venus has been touring Capricorn since November 1 and will remain in your sign a long time, until March 5. The first two weeks of December would be a good time to pick up some new fashionable things to wear. Do so early in the month, for Venus will go retrograde from December 21 to January 31, not the time to shop for things that will be flattering to you. If you act well in advance of December 21, you will be able to find beautiful wardrobe and jewelry that will garner you many compliments. If you want your stylist at the salon to change the way you wear your hair or to tweak or change the color, do this in the first two weeks.
Once Venus goes retrograde, from December 21 to January 31, it will not be wise to spend a great deal of money on clothes, jewels, fragrance or makeup. More importantly, it is not a time to have plastic surgery or to make a radical change to your appearance, such to ask for a startling cut or change of color to your hair. Venus rules beauty and good looks, so to create any sort of improvement to your appearance, you would need Venus to be awake, not napping in retrograde. (You can do regular trims and grooming, of course, but no dramatic changes.)
Venus retrograde is also not a time to get engaged, for Venus is the planet of love. Statistics show that many couples usually plan to get engaged for Christmas or New Year's, or for Valentine's Day, but this year you would be wise to do so earlier in the month, giving as much space of days from December 21 as possible. Waiting until Valentine's Day won't help, as Mercury will be retrograde from February 7 to 28. Get engaged now, in early December, and then share news either immediately or later - you can choose.
When any planet retrogrades, it withholds its finest powers. In your solar chart, Taurus is on the cusp of your fifth house of love and creativity, and Venus rules Taurus. The area of love is where you will see a slowdown and decreasing energy, so that's not good if you are single either. This tells me you should attend all the holiday parties you get invited to, for the first weeks of December will be your very best socially.
If you are not sure about the person you are dating, you will have a chance to rethink your budding relationship while Venus retrogrades. You may change your mind about the new person you are seeing and breakup, or you may simply slow the relationship if you feel it has galloped forward too quickly.
Venus retrograde will also affect your career progress, and advancement is always important to an ambitious Capricorn. You have Libra on the cusp of your solar tenth house of fame and honors, and Venus also rules Libra (in addition to Taurus, discussed above). This means career progress will take time and patience. Venus won't stop your progress, for Mars will make sure you keep progressing, but the pace at times may be frustrating as other planets intervene and slow things down.
I mentioned Mars, so let's look at that planet to see what is happening, for there will be big news on that front too. Since October 15, Mars has been in Virgo in your ninth house of foreign people and places. This same house governs long distance and international travel, as well as visa, green card, passport, and interviews related to immigration. The ninth house rules matters involving universities and your goal to get an advanced degree. It also rules the court system and legal matters, and the publishing and broadcasting industries. In Virgo, Mars friendly to your Capricorn Sun, so if any of the areas I listed are important to you, immediately make an appointment for December 2 to 6 while you still have Mars in such a favorable angle to your Sun.
On December 7, Mars will enter Libra and your solar tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement, to stay not the typical six weeks that Mars usually spends in any one sign, but almost eight months, until July 25, 2014. That's an enormously long time for your career to be energized by booster rocket Mars. Mars is VERY energetic and will make you so determined and courageous, you won't let anyone say "no" to you. You can make a great deal of progress now, for you will have Mars in the area of the chart
You can make a great deal of progress now, for you will have Mars in the area of the chart that is associated with leadership and the respect you glean from others as you gain mastery over your profession. If you do take a job within this period, it is likely you will get a big step up, and a lot of publicity.
Mars will bring opportunity but also from time to time, will cause conflict as he tangles with other planets as he travels. When planets conflict with him at difficult angles, Mars will be able to test your level of commitment to your field. In this way, these aspects are testing aspects. If a career adjustment or outright switch to a new field is indicated, Mars will help you over that bridge. It is also possible that the department you are in or the person in charge of you is not good for you, or, just the opposite, very good for you. As you go along, Mars will keep giving you reports so that you have all the data you need to make career decisions.
You won't have to wait long for a conflict to start. The problem is Mars is doing this at the worst possible time, Christmas Eve and Christmas. On December 24-25, Mars will be at loggerheads with Uranus in a direct 180-degree confrontation. This will immediately set up a push-pull between your home life and your career, quite suddenly.
Given the date when this is happening, it seems that likely that someone or something at home will need your immediate attention, but to a lesser degree, it could be just the opposite, that it is your career that you may have to focus on, causing everyone at home to be upset. You may have to go into the office immediately to attend to the situation. Whatever it is, it seems to be jarring news. If you are in the news publishing or broadcasting business, it could be a big news story that requires you drop everything and come into the office.
Mars opposed to Uranus may cause an emotional confrontation or a physical one. To be safe, do not leave candles burning in a room unattended. Keep walkways clear of toys or other items, so that you, other family members, and guests can walk unimpeded. Don't leave the lights of your Christmas tree on overnight, and with Uranus angry, do not overload your electrical sockets. (Uranus rules electricity.) Make sure all your smoke detectors are working and that you can hear them. A news story recently showed a family that slept straight through all the alarms. Take this opportunity to put in more smoke detectors, in each room, if n
Take this opportunity to put in more smoke detectors, in each room, if necessary, so that family members wake up, knowing that there is only the tiniest chance you'd ever need them.
The final week of the month brings a crowd of planets that simply cannot get along with each other. On December 29, Mercury in Capricorn will be at 90-degree harsh angle to Uranus in Aries, making travel very difficult, possibly even dangerous if roads are slick. News that you hear about home and family may not be good, possibly because of illness of a family member or more likely because of harsh words said by a family member. Do all you can to listen but not respond. You can always respond later, when cooler heads will prevail.
On December 30, the Sun in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries will be at very harsh odds, creating problems with an authority figure at work or at home like your landlord, for example, or parent, most likely your father. Conversely, you may be worried about the welfare of your parent, or, conversely, you may be upset with a family member or not happy about something you hear having to do with your house or apartment.
Also, Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn will be also at precise 90-degree angles causing difficulties in your career. A high level person - the 800-lb. gorilla - seems to strong arm you into agreeing to a certain dictate, and you won't appreciate that news one bit. By this day, you may be nearing the end of your rope, with so much going on in both areas.
On New Year's Eve, December 31, Mercury will be conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, and both will be in hard angle to Mars in Libra. Again, your career seems to be on your mind and how to deal with the pushy VIP who seems to be dictating and demanding so much.
As you see, this would not be the year to spend a lot of money to travel to a wonderful destination, like Paris, to ring in the New Year. With a gang of planets fighting with each other, we will all feel the fallout below. If something does come up, you'll be happier at home, for you will more easily be able to direct others to help. If your birthday falls in December, this will apply most directly to you.
Keep your celebration small and at home, and surround yourself with the most supportive people you know. A quiet dinner, soft music, food made at home, and a kiss from the person you love, is really all that we need to be happy.
yea i like reading through these, but tbh??_ maybe 5% or less ever actually applies. still a fun read.
Dates to note:capricorn
Most romantic dates, and days you can use for other things too: December 1, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 22-24, 27, 28, and 31.
On December 2 the new moon will be in Sagittarius, a time to slow down and plan for your birthday year ahead. Uranus will be helpful, so think big, for you will get help from this major planet, just when you would never expect that help.
Your career will be on fast forward from December 7, 2013 to July 25, 2014, thanks to Mars' impending tour of Libra, lighting your house of fame.
On December 9 a grand triangle will appear in the sky, linking the moon in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer, and your ruler, Saturn, in Scorpio. This will be a superb day for relationships - platonic or romantic.
Go shopping for gifts on December 10 when Mercury trine Uranus will help you find everything you need.
A big day for you: December 12, when Jupiter will trine Saturn. Saturn is your ruler, so this date will have extra significance for you.
The full moon in Gemini is on December 17 and may bring an assignment to a conclusion within four days of this date. Keep health strong - you may be working against a deadline.
Uranus goes direct December 17 after being retrograde since July 17. This is a big day for you - Uranus is in your fourth house of home, so real estate, home, and family matters will move ahead at long last.
Venus will go retrograde from December 21 to January 31, 2014. Do not make big, radical changes to your appearance during this time. Romance will have to give way to needs at work, so it's generally a no-frills time.
On December 24-25 Mars in Libra will oppose Uranus in Aries - work and needs of those at home will collide, so see what you can do to keep all happy.
The tension continues on December 29 when Uranus will be at odds with Mercury. Be careful in travel and in what you say.
Things won't improve December 30. The Sun will be in hard angle to Uranus and Mars will be at odds with Pluto - this day may not be the best day to go anywhere.
December 31 Mercury will conjoin Pluto and both will be at odds with Mars, so this is still a tense day. Spend this evening ringing in the New Year with very close friends at home.

"A gorgeous new moon, December 2, in Sagittarius (11 degrees), will appear in your subconscious sector."
I have no idea what Venus going retrograde means.
