Capricorn Overview
The sign of Capricorn has no graces. The native is rather like one of those royal babies of old who were neglected in the cradle by all twelve of the fairy godmothers. However, the sign is seldom found unmodified, and mush of the severity is softened by the influence of other planets.
In the pure state, the type is austere, super-critical, fault-finding and overbearing. They are dissatisfied, no matter what the recompense. They can find something to criticize in everyone else, although they view their own accomplishments as almost perfect.

Capricorn 2023 Horoscope
Your hardworking home planet Saturn is the most ambitious of the outer planets, and as 2023 begins with a harmonious union with airy Aquarius, you’ll be searching to restore a sense of balance most likely involving finances. Capricorn, your life this year is all about doing what you have to do in order to reach your goals. Playing up your unique talents and abilities will help you succeed early this year.
When Saturn moves into intuitive Pisces and your house of communication in early March, the need for security and achievement will start to affect your thought process and how you express your ideas. This transit is calling attention to your need to reflect on the way you try to get your point across, and it urges you to take action to make any necessary adjustments.
There’s a lot of debate about how the mysterious dwarf planet Pluto has been demoted in the past, but this year its influence deserves your attention! Its powerful journey through your determined sign from January to late March (and again as it retrogrades from May to mid-October, then moves direct for the rest of the year) puts you through some dramatic shifts and changes and can cause vulnerability and instability in both your personal and professional lives. In many cases, it will be up to you to take charge and make sure nothing gets too far out of control, especially if no one else steps up.
Couples
You take your relationship responsibilities very seriously, Capricorn, and as a new moon rises in mid-February in idealistic Pisces and your house of communication, you’ve got a lot of thoughts and emotions swirling around in that head of yours. While yes, this is a sensitive, forgiving energy that urges you to help keep the peace and avoid confrontation at all costs, this lunation also gives you the ability to communicate intuitively and sync up with your partner on a spiritual level and higher plane. If there’s something that needs to be addressed, you do so in the most loving and compassionate way.
Your practical earth sign might not be the most romantic, but when love goddess Venus partners with emotional water sign Cancer and your relationship zone in early May, you’re ready to ramp up your efforts. You’ll be seeking a harmonious, balanced union with bae now, and you’ll be willing to step up to the plate and (gasp!) maybe even put them first for a change. If you’ve been locked in an ongoing battle of wills lately, you’re ready to put your own needs aside and compromise, which is an amazing step in the right direction.
The full moon and lunar eclipse in fellow earth sign Taurus and your expressive house of pleasure at the end of October send you on something of an emotional roller-coaster ride. This is an excellent time to slow down and be patient when it comes to bringing up any new issues in the relationship. You’re definitely more fun and less inhibited than usual, but there are serious things looming in the background that you can’t ignore. Try not to use a shopping spree to mask what’s really going on. Spending money together is fun, but it’s sometimes just a distraction from facing what’s really going on during this lunation.
Singles
New moons mark times of potential new beginnings, and the new moon and solar eclipse in fiery Aries in mid-April fire up your security zone and send you looking for love in relatively safe places. If you have any romantic interest in a neighbor or roommate, Capricorn, this would be an excellent time to explore that further. And while you might not find the love of your life while sitting on your couch, you’ll be looking for casual, comfortable dates that don’t require a lot of effort. If you can’t have a good time cooking dinner together at home and watching a movie, you probably aren’t a perfect match.
By the time loving Venus enters kindred earth sign Virgo and your ninth house in early October, you’re a true student of love. You are laser focused on the details of what makes love work, and you can’t wait to apply what you learn in a real-life romantic scenario. You need a partner who will accompany you on your exotic journeys and wild adventures now, so a worldly Sagittarius might be your perfect match.
Sexual Mars fires up your companionship zone when it pairs up with powerful Scorpio in the middle of October, so needless to say, things could get a little intense over the coming weeks. Your confident, take-charge attitude can be somewhat intimidating now, but that’s okay because when you’re taking dating resumes, only the strong need apply. Your words and actions are very direct during this sexy pairing, but you can also put out a very mysterious vibe. If you have your eye on someone, hopefully they’re up for a little game playing.
Money & Career
With your ruling planet Saturn driving your goals and motivation, its position in Aquarius for the first two months of the year gives you a little less control but offers a whole lot more freedom to explore innovative and experimental thoughts and ideas related to your career. Networking will be very important as well, Capricorn, and you’ll want to play up your unique abilities and talents when talking business. As a strict but upwardly mobile Goat, you tend to follow rules and not want to step too far out of bounds, but this rebellious influence has you trying new things and experimenting with different options to find your greatest career-related success.
If you’re looking for a job this year, expect to see a lot of opportunities cross your path when Mars spends time with negotiator Libra and your career zone starting at the end of August. If you’re willing to take the initiative now, you can make some excellent professional contacts. You know what you deserve, but you’re also willing to compromise for the right position. Be sure to let potential employers know that you’re willing to do what it takes to make things work.
The sun shines on your serious, disciplined sign at the end of December, so celebrating your birthday might not be very high on your priority list if you still have a lot of goals and deadlines you want to reach before the EOY. Your work ethic is admirable, but putting yourself last isn’t fair. Your hard work deserves to be rewarded, and what better way to do that than by splurging on yourself? Spending some of that hard-earned cash on something you really want is a fantastic way to wrap up the year.

CAPRITTARIUS (SAGITTARIUS/CAPRICORN) – December 19 – December 25
Zodiac Position: Approximately 26° Sagittarius — 4° Capricorn Seasons: Late Fall/Early Winter (solstice) Elements: Fire/Earth Qualities: Mutable/Cardinal Rulers: Jupiter/Saturn Symbols: The Archer/The Goat Modes: Intuition/Sensation
Also called the Cusp of Prophecy, Caprittarius is an overlapping and admixture of the ninth sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius, and the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn. The Caprittarius can be symbolically likened to the period around sixty-three years of age in the human life and also marks the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere. During this period most of the land lies fallow, some animals sleep sweetly in hibernation, the winds blow cold and snows fall. The length of days slowly decreases until about December 21 (the winter solstice), when the night is longer and the day shorter than at any other time in the year. This is the time at which druids at Stonehenge made astronomical observations and prophecies, and when fortunes were often cast. Indeed the Caprittarius may be said to represent Prophecy.
In human development, at this juncture in life, middle age is drawing to a close and old age is about to begin. The emerging elder must face a time when traditionally his/her usefulness to the material world has lessened. Many continue their work, but usually at a lower energy level or by scaling back. However, the individual’s usefulness in the spiritual sense may increase greatly, both as a mentor and inspiration to others. A sense of mortality and physical vulnerability may strengthen spiritual understandings, make for a more realistic attitude and ultimately a kind of fearlessness towards life. The days which comprise the Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp exemplify some of the manifestations of Prophecy (using wisdom to look into the future), where the visionary, intuitive Sagittarius nature combines with the pragmatic, empirical nature of Capricorn.
THE CAPRITTARIUS PERSONALITY: Those born on the Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp not only demonstrate a talent for sensing the future state of things but also take a hand in shaping them as well. One reason that the future so often “belongs” to the determined individuals born on this cusp is that they prepare for it so thoroughly. CAPRITTARIUS people are also great initiators of projects, able to get things moving efficiently in a remarkably short space of time. They are not known, however, for their patience with those who fail to appreciate or endorse their plans. Faced with a lack of cooperation, those born on this cusp are prepared to move ahead alone—decisively and with full force.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. This holds particularly true for CAPRITTARIUS—indeed, the fiery, impulsive Sagittarian side can clash with the slower, more calculating earthiness of Capricorn. Moreover, conflicts may arise between the expansive influences of Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius) and the restrictive tendencies of Saturn (ruler of Capricorn). Intuition-sensation types, those born on this cusp can lack the lightness and sensitivity of water.
Caprittarius people are often deep, weighty individuals who recognize the power of silence. Many born on this cusp also have the ability to utilize this power as a forceful extension of their personality. They must be careful, however, not to alienate those with whom they live and work or cut off avenues of communication.
ADVICE FOR CAPRITTARIUS: Learn to temper your intensity. By understanding yourself better you will be less at the mercy of your moods. Work on improving social relationships and continue to befriend others. Beware of any tendencies to close yourself off. Allow your warm and loving side full rein and keep your heart open.
CAPRITTARIUS ATTRACTIONS: People born on this cusp are generally most attracted to other cusp people, particularly TAURINI (Taurus/Gemini) AND LEOVIRG (Leo/Virgo) cusps.
AQUARICORN (CAPRICORN/AQUARIUS)– January 17 – January 22
Zodiac Position: Approximately 26° Capricorn — 3° Aquarius Season: Mid-winter Elements: Earth/Air Qualities: Cardinal/Fixed Rulers: Saturn/Uranus Symbols: The Goat/The Water Bearer Modes: Sensation/Thought
Also called the Cusp of Mystery and Imagination, Aquaricorn is an overlapping and admixture of the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn, and the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius. AQUARICORN can be symbolically likened to the period around seventy years of age in the human life; it arrives at the time in winter when the days are lengthening but remain cold (in the northern hemisphere). Indeed, nights are freezing and refuge must be sought inside. The Aquaricorn cusp may be said to represent Mystery and Imagination. In human development, at the age of seventy, one must certainly come to terms with one’s own mortality. Preparations must be made to make one’s remaining years comfortable, but also productive and satisfying. Although external activities have usually slowed down considerably, ideally a corresponding increased tempo of the interior life—mental, emotional, spiritual—can manifest. The worlds of imagination fantasy and dreams are active and some feel and act in a childlike manner. A kind of knowing in the deepest sense, a universal wisdom, may manifest at this time.
The days which comprise the AQUARICORN Cusp exemplify some of the manifestations of Mystery and Imagination where the practical, conservative Capricorn nature clashes with unpredictable unconventional Aquarian impulses.
THE AQUARICORN PERSONALITY: The imaginative AQUARICORN certainly does not lead a dull life. The more flamboyant of those born on this cusp often bring their entertainment with them and are capable of providing an electric excitement wherever they are. The source for such energy can often be found in an inner world in which Mystery and Imagination vie for supremacy. Even the minority of those born on this cusp who appear quiet or unassuming have a vivid, active fantasy and dream life; it is also likely that they experience quite a lot of excitement in private.
Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. In the cases of AQUARICORN, the earthy stability of Capricorn can be split asunder in an instant by the lightning-quick and erratic mentality of Aquarius. Thus conflicts may arise between conservative and radical influences which stand little chance of being fully reconciled. Sensation-thought types, those born on this cusp can sometimes lack empathic feelings and be at the mercy of their impulses.
Aquaricorns are particularly prone to unusual experiences and the enjoyment of vivid visual images. Blessed or cursed with an active dream life, many inhabit a world when asleep that makes the waking life seem dull by comparison. The most highly developed individuals born on this cusp may use their fertile fantasy world as the basis for creativity, whether commercial or artistic, and can translate their private images into symbols or ideas which have meaning for their friends and associates, or for the world at large.
ADVICE FOR AQUARICORNS: You must find an outlet for your creative energy. Communicate what you experience. Try not to be discouraged by lack of understanding, ignorance or negative criticism. Don’t go off the deep end but rather find those who understand and appreciate you.
AQUARICORN ATTRACTIONS: AQUARICORNS are generally most attracted to other cusp people, particularly CANCELEO (Cancer/Leo) and SCORPITTARIUS (Scorpio/Sagittarius) cusps.
Famous Capricorns
Those with the Sun in Capricorn exude a sense of being in charge, and they usually are. They may be in pursuit of status and power, but they never compromise their integrity to get there. These are the masters of the physical realm, and widely admired for what they’re able to accomplish.
They are born with a sense of purpose, and many Capricorn children are mature beyond their years. As they get older, they seem to age in reverse, becoming childlike and retaining a youthful glow. A penchant for melancholy creates a unique filter for Capricorn humor that is known to veer toward the darkly absurd.
