Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Drop and give ’em 20. A solar eclipse in your health house blows the whistle on your bad habits and motivates you to take charge of your well-being. You are generally quite disciplined, Capricorn, but your hardworking nature can lead you to some self-soothing vices that might not be in your best interest. It’s time to tackle these head-on, replacing them with routines and practices that promote joy and vitality.

News flash: You don’t have to suffer to get into great shape. You can be a bit of a masochist at times, attached to the idea that nothing good comes without struggle. While you definitely do need to break a sweat, look for a form of exercise that you actually enjoy, such as a lively Spin class, or joining a hiking or running group. Research recipes that are fresh and delicious, such as the ones in Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Every Day or Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Diet.

Also, instead of cutting out that tempting lure, try replacing it with another. When you’re feeling a sweet-tooth urge, reach for a piece of fruit before you go on a chocolate binge. Choose gluten-free versions of your favorite carbs and see if that cuts some of those cravings, too. Rather than socialize at happy hour, have friends meet you for a dance class and a juice. You might just turn into a wellness warrior who inspires your entire social circle to get on the self-care bandwagon. You’ll have an added wave of motivation from the Sun, which is touring Gemini and your sixth house of healthy habits for the next month.

This is also a time where work becomes a major focus in your life (as if it ever isn’t, 0 Ambitious One). The goal, however, is to work smarter, not harder. Streamline your systems and opt for greater efficiency. Dividing your days up so you are focusing on only one task at a time can make a huge difference. The world won’t come to an end if you shut down your email program while you’re working on something that requires concentration. You’ll be amazed at how swiftly you can get things done when you aren’t obsessively checking your in-box after each task.

In your personal life, this is your time to show love through acts of service. Be the steady, helpful force for the ones you adore. Your unwavering belief in their greatness, as well as your pragmatic advice, will win their love and devotion — and all you have to do is be yourself.
