Capricorn

CAPRICORN

Just whose story are you buying into?

Count to three. Better yet – count to 10!

Change the narrative, change the outcome

What’s the spin on what you hear or are being told, Cappy? You are advised to first consider alternative interpretations and to fact check. Also, that direction may not be taking you where you first thought. It may divert, reach a crossroads, or even dead-end suddenly. Don’t worry if this happens. That’s because you’re done and there’s nothing left to explore.

Mercury retrograde in your 3^rd is partly responsible. But the start of March sees a total lunar eclipse in Virgo and your 9^th add to the confusion. Just take it that a bit like Jon Snow – you know nothing under it. Both your houses of communication, travel and commerce are impacted. Whatever you do – don’t jump to conclusions or rush to put out little fires everywhere. Especially if someone else started them.

Mars’ arrival in your 3^rd can have you acting impulsively. Or even over-reacting. You can rush to respond and end up wasting your energy. There’s a Chicken Little feel to this. What I would say is always consider your source. Is this someone who isn’t prone to exaggeration for example? Is this a credible source? Have you checked it out for yourself? Just taking time to run through these can save you from expending your time and effort when you discover the sky isn’t falling after all.

If a mistake comes to light which is down to you, do own it right away. Don’t try to cover it up, blame that intern or anyone else. Simply put your hand up and fix it. Travel is under a Mercury retrograde/eclipse warning. Your 3^rd rules short journeys either in distance or duration. Your commute or school run for example. Your 9^th rules mass transportation, airlines, long distance travel, shipping, overseas business and foreign affairs of all kinds. Faraway loves and places. Doing business overseas. So, going anywhere you need to check everything before departure and allow extra time. Anything from the weather – meteorological and political, to tides, tech outages, strikes, delays and cancellations.

What emerges however will be a profound change of narrative around a story you have told yourself, how you use your ideas, a conversation, or even a project or plan. Mercury retro rules ‘re’ words. In your house of communication, writing, speaking, sharing, content creation and contracts, these include revise, rewrite, reexamine, reconsider, review, renew, reorganise, redraw and redraft.

The dates when that retrograde energy allows for a retelling around anything from a relationship to what you have been told or a plan, are the two dates when Mercury re-engages the North Node. The second time retrograde (the first was when it was still direct) on the 18^th. And the third and final time on the 23^rd when it is direct again. This closes a chapter and also turns the page for you. With the new Moon in your 3^rd (19^th), handing you a blank one on which you can author a brand new story. Or belief. That narrative may simply be an untrue story you’ve been repeating about yourself. Again, the eclipse may uncover the truth. Once more, look to the source.

If the road you have been travelling holds nothing new to engage with, the new moon opens up a fresh direction alight with curiosity, fresh discoveries and engagement. A new job, topic or project. An entirely new conversation or story for you. Time to stop thinking or simply talking about those ideas. Talk is cheap but actions speak louder than words. Do something with them.

Intense Mutable energy now gives way to a Cardinal vibe as Venus (6^th), joins ruler Saturn, Neptune and Chiron in Aries and your 4^th house. You’ll feel the change of pace as you shift from talking and taking action, to being and feeling. Cardinal signs (that’s you!), are creators. You’ll turn your attention to what you can create now in terms of your home, property, family, roots and what shelters and sustains you.

The good news I have for many Capricorns is that with Saturn your ruler now in long term residence in this house, if you are moving during this time, you should be putting down roots for some time to come. Venus is set on enhancing your home, living space and lifestyle in some way. Once Mercury is direct once more (from the 20^th), you can push ahead with purchases for your home. Or even a new home. As Venus crosses the key zero degree of Aries which remains energised by last month’s Saturn/Neptune meeting, this can see a property matter move forward. Venus can also hand you more bang for your buck when it comes to the kind of home you end up with. This can also apply to renting so renters – take note. Your low-ball offer is accepted. You find a better home for your budget than you expected.

If buying, do check plumbing, flood risks and the water table carefully due to Neptune’s presence in here. However, Neptune can bring you to your ‘spiritual’ home. If you work in the areas of healing, psychic, creative, research, or even investigations and espionage, if you are seeking a ‘refuge’ because you have fled a toxic living situation, the Neptune/Saturn combo hands you a ‘safe’ house. Some may move to the country, off-grid, the wilderness, a secret place or undiscovered part of the country. Or simply be drawn to a community where kindred spirits reside.

Look to Venus’ encounters with Neptune and Saturn (7^th – 8^th), as well as the Sun’s to both planets across the 22^nd – 25^th. This is about your foundation and cementing something from your imagination into a bricks and mortar reality. Take it that at some point during its 2.5 year stay in this house, your ruler will literally create something that’s built to last for you.

Venus moves into its ruling sign of Taurus and your 5^th from the 30^th. Giving you a taste of the good life. When embarking on that Grand Design for living, include the sensual pleasures. Good food, wine, fun and a safe space to play and simply showcase yourself. You’re the pearl. Your home, the oyster. And do make room for love to move in with you, Capricorn. That’s the most important house guest of all.

In a nutshell: Big little lies. Has someone been serving these? Have you been buying into a false narrative or simply someone’s spin? This month sees you separate out fact from fiction. Or consciously change the narrative around a key discussion. Follow that spiritual homing beacon to discover where home truths reside.
