Capricorn Weekly Horoscope – Capricorn Horoscope for the Week From the AstroTwins

WEEK OF August 21 – 2 7, 2023

Going somewhere, Cap? Even if you don’t have plans on the books right now, you may find yourself packing a bag and hitting the open road (or friendly skies) sometime in the next month. That’s because on Wednesday, August 23, the plucky Sun blazes into Virgo and your ninth house of travel, adventure and expansion until September 23. After hosting el Sol in your hyper-focused eighth house for the past four weeks, you may be itching to get out of your head and into the wider world. Anything that’s new and exciting will fire you up between now and September 23. When wanderlust does strike, have a plan for scratching that itch, whether a solo escapade, a romantic trip with bae or perhaps an online course to learn how to turn your side passion into a legit business. If you truly can’t get away, distract yourself by getting lost in travel blogs and reconnecting with friends in distant locales, ideally ones you can get to from your local airport!  

Also on Wednesday, nimble Mercury turns retrograde in Virgo and your travel sector for three weeks, which could delay plans you’re just getting off the ground. This isn’t a hard and fast restriction—just a warning to make sure your itinerary is solid, to double-check everything, and have a contingency plan! Also make 100 percent sure that you aren’t scheduling your getaway during a critical phase of a major work project or a friend’s or relative’s big bash. Retrogrades rule the past, so you may feel a bit nostalgic for a “home away from home” or a special place you haven’t visited in a while. With communicator Mercury reversing through your honest and forthright ninth house, try to modulate the intensity of your feedback or candid pronouncements. Sorry, but “just calling it like you see it” won’t rebuild any bridges your bluntness might burn. A good rule of thumb? Wait until someone requests your critique before your dish it out. You’ll have a much more appreciative audience that way.

Work and public life might overshadow everything else starting this Sunday as invigorating Mars shifts gears, blasting into Libra and your tenth house of success (your archetypal home turf) until October 12. Regardless of how you HAD been thinking about your future, the planet of drive and motivation helps you think even bigger. What goals are left to accomplish before the end of the year? Are you happy with the professional status quo or are you itching to make a move, whether up the company ladder, laterally into a related field or by making a clean break and starting something brand-spanking new? Even if your vision involves something as humble as “wrapping up all your commitments with everyone happy,” the red planet will help you apply more pressure to your personal accelerator. Be sure to build in downtime so you don’t fry your circuits. Mars will energize and stimulate you, but the fiery planet isn’t big on limits. And remember, Sea Goat: Being in charge doesn’t require you to do everything by yourself. In fact, the smartest managers and creators know precisely when, and to whom, to delegate!
