Monthly Horoscope: Capricorn
Capricorn horoscope (December 22 – January 19) for the current month. It is built from real events in the sky — planetary ingresses, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and aspects — and breaks the month down by area of life and by day.
The month in brief
The Sun in the 11th house: a month of friends — groups, shared projects and plans for the future.

Fri, November 13, 10:57 AM — Mercury stations and turns direct again (in Scorpio, 11th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — friends and plans — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Fri, November 13, 7:29 PM — Venus stations and turns direct again (in Libra, 10th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — career and reputation — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.

Tue, November 24, 9:54 AM — Full Moon in Gemini, 6th house. A Full Moon in your 6th house sums up your workload: by tradition it shows where you have overworked. Time to tie up loose ends and listen to your body.

Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your 10th house: a romance in the public eye or with someone older and higher in status. By tradition the relationship affects your reputation — behave with dignity.

How this horoscope is put together
The monthly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from the first day of the month to the last: the Sun and planets entering new signs, the stations of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and every exact aspect of the month. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
Events are translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Capricorn is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. Each area is analysed separately: love through Venus and Mars, work through Mars, Saturn and Mercury, money through Jupiter and Venus, energy through Mars, Saturn and the Moon.
The lucky days for each area are the days with the highest total score: the Moon's house, planetary positions and retrogrades, exact aspects, the New Moon, the Full Moon and eclipses. The "By day" table shows the score for each day of the month and the events that made it up.
Ruler of Capricorn
The ruler of the sign is Saturn. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Capricorn than for other signs: favourable aspects to the ruler strengthen the whole period, and tense ones make it harder.
