Capricorn
Born between: Dec 22nd - Jan 19th
Highly intelligent and organised, the Capricorn star sign often relates to characterises of perseverance and planning. Capricorns need to be careful to not take on too many of other people's problems on top of their own.
Life may seem to have slowed down a little. Domestic and family security is more important than usual. Step back from your recent busy schedule to take stock. Less praise will be coming your way than you might wish, but you can always take pride in what you do for its own sake, and be your own morale booster. Fortunate colours are orange and sandstone. Lucky numbers are 65 and 2.
Children bring out the best in you now. Even if it is not possible to be around kids, you will be positively child-like yourself. And full of open-hearted determination to play as much as possible. You will put your feelings on the line, saying what you mean, and hinting loudly in the direction of loved ones. Slow down slightly to talk over emotional and domestic matters, after your recent busy patch. Amusing colours are crimson and cumquat. Lucky numbers are 60 and 78.
Since you may be feeling more vulnerable than usual, it's important that you help others feel comfortable. And then in turn they're more likely to do the same for you. Even if your opinions are correct, perhaps you need to put your views across more subtly. If you get too pushy and try to force your beliefs on others, then it can arouse resentment. Favourable colours are pistachio and pumpkin. Lucky numbers are 30 and 56.
You're not in any mood to be bossed around, so you will be impatient with other people if they expect you to do anything dull and routine. Trying to keep your wits together won't be easy when your everyday routines are so stirred up. There is a constant flow of information coming and going, a fair amount of dashing around and more encounters than usual. Propitious colours are garnet and periwinkle. Lucky numbers are 6 and 49.
Whatever anyone else wants, you want to do something different. It's definitely a day for flying solo and following your own ideas. In the quiet times, you are finding through unexpected encounters or situations that you are a good deal more resourceful, resilient and a richer personality that you had imagined. You are growing in self- awareness and understanding so do not get edgy about sometimes being on your own. Buoyant colours are amethyst and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 63 and 52.
Not everything is possible in life, Capricorn. Sometimes it is just a question of patiently waiting till the tide turns and sometimes it is just about facing up to limitations, to what you can't change. If you can accept one particular situation now as it is, then you will find it easier to handle. You are exceptionally loyal where it matters, ready to stick it out through thick and thin for the sake of the really important people in your life. Favourable colours are tangerine and buttercup. Lucky numbers are 47 and 25.
Over the next few weeks your nose will be firmly stuck to the grindstone as duty will come first. Pushing indulgences and pleasure activities to one side won't be a problem; as you will concentrate on becoming more efficient and better organised. Watch health since you could be a little over heated, even a little accident-prone at times. It will benefit you to give as much attention towards getting your body fit as you do towards work matters. Beneficial colours are moonstone and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 12 and 17.
If everyone can be straightforward and avoid being self- righteous, then the planetary influences can be immensely helpful. Keeping detached and unemotional is the key. Asking probing questions, you tune into many aspects which other people never see as you investigate in greater depth. Remember that not everyone else wants to dig so deep, so be sparing in what you say. Realistic colours are violet and obsidian. Lucky numbers are 42 and 16.
Relationships with women in general should be good. Show yourself in a positive way, more protective and nurturing. If you take care of others, they are much more likely to respond in like manner. Open your mind to new ideas. This can be inspiring, but it leaves you feeling unsettled. Your working routines are speeded up and at times your energy is far too scattered. Positive colours are celadon and milk coffee. Lucky numbers are 67 and 9.
You want to belong and put down roots, so make your intimate surroundings a cocoon of comfort with all your favourite mates around. You feel sentimental about the past, remembering the good not the gritty times. When you get the chance to have a private moment, think about personal matters which have been tucked into the background. If you let things come to the surface in your mind you can really sort them out. Positive colours are rye bread and red coral. Lucky numbers are 51 and 69.
If there have been any family rifts or differences recently, the Equinox (the new astrological year), could just be the time to wipe the slate clean and start again. Reach out and see where you can spread harmony around. More for your sake than anything else, you need peace and calm. Control the tendency to overwork for the next few weeks, as you'll find it difficult to wind down until everything has been finished. If you are feeling dissatisfied with what you do, don't get too critical. Auspicious colours are buttercup and peach. Lucky numbers are 58 and 51.
More sensitive and private than usual, you retreat into your shell and put up defensive barriers against the outside world. Avoid being directly confrontational, or leaping in with provocative comments. You'll end up losing words and not knowing how to finish what you started. Talking to your nearest and dearest will also help you sort out any family tensions that have been swept under the carpet because there was no time to address them. A New Moon comes at the Equinox this year, marking a powerful beginning to this new phase. Effective colours are musk and iris. Lucky numbers are 29 and 18. Read more on the Equinox!
Sensual Venus is now in a slightly awkward aspect to nebulous Neptune. The combination isn't very practical or energetic, so slow down and take things carefully. Highly impressionable and rather softhearted, you may be taken for a mug by a good sob story. Be more hardheaded and discriminating when it comes to cash, or you could be disappointed. You may not wish to sound miserly, but that doesn't mean you can't protect yourself. Cautious colours are purple and auburn. Lucky numbers are 35 and 42.
Buzz, buzz. Busy, busy. You have an intense desire to achieve and you have the potential to get things done, but there could be some risks in all this passionate energy. Try not to be too confrontational or aggressive. Play it cool. If you boss loved ones around they will not take it kindly. You will be throwing your energy into dramatic gestures and rather flamboyant language. Favourable colours are periwinkle and indigo. Lucky numbers are 9 and 2.
Today might just be your chance to build bridges. Express what you feel without being abrasive, so no one can take offence. Just keep smiling amiably and all will be resolved. Your open manner attracts a really positive response from everyone around. Watch that you don't sound a bit arrogant and intolerant if you get too involved in pet causes. Your uncanny knack of sensing the future is pointing you in the right direction. Beneficial colours are obsidian and deep green. Lucky numbers are 74 and 15.
Letters and phone calls keep you on your toes, and a good many short distance trips keep boredom well at bay. Skimming the surface and cutting corners? There's not much time to focus on details. Romantically upfront, you head for what you want, so don't be shy about stating your fancy. You may be a little accident prone since you're more reckless than usual as you look for adventure. Auspicious colours are hazelnut and wattle. Lucky numbers are 4 and 8.
Push frivolities to one side temporarily and do the practical, solid, sensible, get-it-all-together kind of tasks. You could then get a lot of stuff cleared out of the way once and for all. Then you will deserve a break and can disappear off to play truant. With Mercury, Lord of Communication, in fiery Aries you are more creative and sympathetic than usual, though not always able to put your thoughts or feelings precisely into words. Beneficial colours are pink salmon and copper. Lucky numbers are 10 and 25.
Don't take other people's comments too personally, fearing slights where none were intended. You are more sensitive and moody than usual. In a restless mood, you'll be ebbing and flowing like the tide, which is why you need really solid, motherly mates around to be protective, nurturing and a little bit more practical perhaps than you. Calming colours are charcoal and violet. Lucky numbers are 15 and 75.
Companions are preoccupied, which might make you feel a little excluded. They're tied up in what they're doing, but you need to slip into your own space to think things through. Avoid trying to go in two opposite directions at once. One way is what you ought to do, the other is what you want to do. Following your whims will give you a guilty conscience, but being dutiful will make you feel under-nurtured. Composed colours are rhodium and raw sugar. Lucky numbers are 10 and 14.
Cut your losses and clear out what needs to be got rid of. Your life is moving in a healthy and positive direction. You will emerge as a stronger personality from your present stressful experiences. Try to resolve any resentments you have with partners. Watch you are not getting too close to subjects to see them clearly. Advantageous colours are crimson and brass. Lucky numbers are 59 and 41.
You sense that you can handle both the light-hearted, frivolous side of your life, and the more serious, self-disciplined side. Give them both equal weight. Maybe you do feel slightly unappreciated, but you definitely have no intention of letting it show. Your partners may come across to you as cooler or more career oriented. Perhaps you are also finding added responsibilities landing on you in some way. Advantageous colours are magnolia and hazel. Lucky numbers are 70 and 41.
If you are dashing around, trying to sort out things with lots of different people and getting yourself very confused, blame it on the Moon. Remember at the end of it all, you will be able to come to your own judgements and act accordingly. Your ability to sparkle in the spotlight will be attracting compliments, if not new admirers. You will be flirting, having fun, and trying to duck out of boring chores as much as possible. Suitable colours are toffee and marzipan. Lucky numbers are 27 and 55.
An old, long-running relationship could be sparkling back to life, or a new relationship put the twinkle back in your eye. You could get sudden financial gains as well. Keep things on an even keel and there shouldn't be too many problems. You fizz and sparkle with brilliant ideas about almost everything now. Not everyone around will agree, but frankly you could not care less. Amusing colours are tartan and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 6 and 5.
Be positive, upfront and speak your mind. This is not the time to hide in a corner or sweep your feelings out of sight. Just don't be too critical especially with thinner-skinned mates. Remember their sensitive spots before you blurt out your opinions. Communication is a two-way process, so you may also be listening more to other people. The more you hear what they have to say, the better it will be in the long run. Suitable colours are tan and graphite. Lucky numbers are 74 and 2.
You can be a real stickler for fairness and justice at the moment. This stems from your strong concerns about creating a better society, and ensuring that everyone is able to live decently. Stand up for what you believe to be right, you'll be applauded for it. You can be quite sharp in your comments, if you speak before you think. But you can also be tolerant and flexible in your views, when you take time to consider. Courageous colours are charcoal and cherry. Lucky numbers are 67 and 31.
The mundane details of everyday life have to be attended to, but this is not the day to get bogged down in following too many orders. Watch out you don't get crossed lines and mixed messages along the way. There could be communication or travel muddles at times if you don't keep your eye on the ball. Gosh! And all you really want to do is get out of a rut and fill your life with more stimulating activities and friends. Prosperous colours are madder lake and cool jade. Lucky numbers are 31 and 34.
Your sunny temperament at the moment keeps you popular and helps you to avoid boring routines at work and elsewhere. You will be putting on a great performance, entertaining everyone in sight, and glowing when you have an appreciative audience. You will be very restless and you may feel that your life has become a rollercoaster ride at times. Confident colours are chocolate and crimson. Lucky numbers are 40 and 28.
Feeling cheerful, extravagant and very optimistic? Let's not assume that everything is going to work wonderfully well just by luck. Get into action! This is definitely not a day for sitting still. You will whizz around on short journeys, or write more letters than usual, making phonecalls galore. Avoid a tendency to tell other people exactly what you think of their faults, as that won't go down well. Advantageous colours are clotted cream and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 45 and 12.
Is fear of rejection making you disappear into your shell? Just cuddle up close to those who make you feel warm and wonderful. With the Moon in your eighth house of joint finances and intimate emotional connections, you will feel deeply and be rather stubborn. Passions could rage within you and no one else would know. Passionate colours are moonstone and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 30 and 19.
The planets are on your side, Capricorn, so take advantage of the energy. Romantic notions fill your head and you may well be inclined to a flutter. You are coming across as dramatic in action and not given to subtle hints. You need to be intellectually stimulated, so pick up new activities or studies which will broaden your mind. Don't let it all be a pipe dream. Make the effort to reach out and ask for what you need. Buoyant colours are fire opal and red coral. Lucky numbers are 11 and 13.
Give a wide berth to grumblers, Capricorn. Look for supportive buddies, the ones you trust in your life and who have been there for you in the past. Don't cut yourself off and sit behind a brick wall, since others will feel you are too self-sufficient and not offer help. Break the ice by expressing your feelings more openly. Providential colours are pale grey and russet. Lucky numbers are 19 and 25.
