Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

WEEK OF August 8 – 1 4, 2022

You’re the unofficial head cheerleader for your inner circle, Capricorn, and they know they can count on you when the chips are down. But in your quest to be helpful, are you overlooking one key person—um, YOU? You can break that self-sacrificing cycle this Tuesday, August 9, as transformational Pluto in your sign goes mano-a-mano with Venus in empathic Cancer and your partnership zone. Giving and helping are fine, in moderation, but it’s time to let others sink or swim by their own efforts. And then you can reflect on how this M.O., while loving, can also be something of a smokescreen to mask your own emotional neediness. If you don’t ask people for things, they can’t disappoint you, right? Uh, not right! You may feel safer behind that steel wall, but this is your moment to get really honest with yourself about what your heart desires—and requires to feel deep human connection.

On Thursday, the year’s only Aquarius full moon falls in your second house, supercharging issues surrounding money, stability and security. This is familiar turf for your grounded earth sign, AND it’s a chance to hit reset on financial plans. Have you been craving more of a “cushion” with your bank account—or do you have clear monetary goals for the rest of 2022? (Kind of rhetorical questions for Capricorns.) But the bottom line is…to increase your bottom line, which you can accomplish with a number of tactics. First, have you trimmed all conceivable fat from your budget? All those micro-subscriptions and overpriced treats (FTR, a $10 coffee is never a “necessity”). The more you can eliminate, the quicker the savings will add up. Getting in the habit of saying “no thanks” to expensive invites will get easier each time you do it. You might explore how to add another revenue stream and earn more without working more. Is it time to ask for a raise or promotion at work? If you work for yourself, can you raise your rates just enough to not squeeze your clients but to pad your account? And when an irresistible temptation presents itself, try to pay for it with cash instead on putting it on plastic. The psychological “interest” alone can be overwhelming.

Your love life may get hotter than Tucson this Thursday as seductrix Venus prances into passionate Leo and your erotic eighth house until September 5. Single or might as well be? Before you dive into something steamy, check in with yourself to make sure you’re clear about what you’re looking for. With the vixen planet heating up your eighth house, you might truly be satisfied with a no-strings summer fling. But if you know in your heart of hearts that you’re longing for a mind-body-soul connection, that fling won’t make you happy. To call in that kind of quality love, you should be prepared to get vulnerable—and to give the relationship time to deepen and for trust to get established. And as things do organically unfold, enjoy the mystery and getting-to-know-you part.
