WEEK OF August 29 – September 4, 2022
Modest Capricorn, you love to shine the spotlight on the fabulous people in your world, and guess what? You’ll get more than one opportunity to endorse your well-deserving friends this week. On Thursday, September 1, action-planet Mars in your sixth house of service gets friendly with outspoken Jupiter in your caring fourth house, inspiring noble acts. Now, try this on for size: What would happen if that generosity current flowed both ways? In other words, who might do YOU a solid this week, Sea Goat? Mars and Jupiter are two of the most daring planets. Seize this cosmic “carpe diem” and ask the VIPs in your world to write a review on your LinkedIn page, make a business intro or let you tag along to a social gathering where you could meet some kindred spirits. Unless you speak up, people might think you’re too busy or that you have it all covered. It’s the downside of being so damn competent!
Round out the workweek by doing the opposite of your usual pedal-to-the-metal crush. Instead, take time this Friday to simply shoot the breeze. As Mercury in your career zone faces off with expansive Jupiter in your softer, sweeter fourth house, you’ll get an important reminder that small talk isn’t necessarily a waste of time and neither are personal conversations. Find out what’s happening in the lives of your cohorts. While you don’t have to pry into the intimate details of their lives, it never hurts to know what they’re dealing with at home. And if someone from your innermost circle calls you during work hours, answer the phone instead of screening. Even a brief cathartic clucking and a “let’s have brunch this weekend” outro is better than nothing.
A note to all the stubborn Goats out there: Letting it go is not the same as giving up. On Saturday, a soothing quarter moon in Sagittarius beams into your twelfth house of relaxation and healing release. Your hardworking, “never say die” sign is no fan of walking away from things (or people), but sometimes, it’s the best thing you can do for all parties concerned. Think about it like this: When you persist in holding one door open, you create a vacuum and nothing better can come in to replace it. Trust that when you close it, another will open. The twelfth house rules all things hidden, mystical and imaginative. While you like your knowledge concrete and provable, some things require a leap of faith. This is a good weekend to journal, work on your vision board or get some counseling or energy work. Dragging it out will only add to the distress, so make a commitment to freeing yourself from the pain by starting the process now.
