Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration,” quipped Thomas Edison. Don’t you know it, Capricorn. This week, you’ll need to give your full focus to one of your larger ambitions as go-getter Mars aligns with your ruling planet, structured, disciplined Saturn. Show and prove, Cap! The power players have their eyes on you, and your performance is indeed being rated.

Here’s the twist: Workaholism is not required, nor is it recommended. While you definitely need to break a sweat, you don’t want to drown in one. Zapping your strength on the job actually makes you appear scattered and disorganized. Showing that you can pull off a sizable project with effective delegation and management of a team, however, speaks to your competence as a capable leader. Think big, Capricorn, but don’t fall prey to the “I’ve gotta do it all alone” mind-set. Your time would be better spent finding candidates for the Capricorn dream team than struggling through a task that falls miles out of your area of expertise.

Men will be the mainstay of your efforts this week, so give the guys in your life some extra credit. One particular fella may need a wake-up call about the importance of pulling his own weight. Don’t berate him, Capricorn; inspire him instead. If you play to his strengths instead of pointing out his weaknesses, he’ll snap back into action as the supportive person you know him to be.

On Friday, the new moon in Leo sends a scintillating charge through your system. You’re sizzling with attractive energy, and you wouldn’t mind keeping that vibe going for the rest of the summer…or maybe forever. The formula is simple, yet elusive: less stressing, more undressing. Create time in your calendar for seductive playdates; otherwise, those opportunities will keep on passing you by.

An important relationship could deepen under this lunar spell, and you may decide to join finances or other resources in a more permanent way. Co-signing a contract may be part of the plan: Do we hear bells, Capricorn? This full moon could bring a body-and-soul connection your way, so pay attention to the people you meet on Friday. If you’re single and looking, make a point of planting yourself among eligible options. This is nothing to rush, though, Capricorn. You’ll have until the corresponding full moon next January 27 to cultivate the important connections that spark on Friday.

How high is your financial IQ? Investments and other high-yielding financial matters fall under the domain of this new moon. You may choose to funnel your money toward a venture that has the promise of a great ROI, or get your feet wet with your first dabble in the market. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
