You’re hitting the ground running in your Capricorn 2024 horoscope, which is also a good omen for all that you can accomplish this year. With passionate Mars entering Capricorn on January 4, you’re being dealt more stamina and motivation to go after exactly what you want, so keep your eye on the prize.
Over the course of the past year, you may have noticed significant changes beginning to unravel in your financial status, thanks to Pluto’s quick tour through Aquarius. However, Pluto will re-enter Aquarius from January 20 to September 1, and again on November 19, where it will continue inspiring you to acquire the income you deserve in your second house of money and material possessions until 2043. And while you may, at first, struggle to decide how much is too much and how little is too little, this transit is preparing you for a level wealth that brings you immense power. Refining your spending and earning habits now will lead to bigger paydays later.
For all the hard work you do, it can be easy to forget to reserve love and attention for your own personal time. And once the North Node of Destiny joins forces with Chiron—the wounded healer—on February 19, it will encourage you to nourish your fourth house of home and family so that your roots are strong enough for you to grow tall. This alignment could bring you and your family back together, especially if you’ve been on the outs. It could also give you the strength to do what you need to do in order to truly build the home of your dreams. And as a lunar eclipse in Libra blasts through your 10th house of career on March 25, you’ll see how making these internal adjustments can pave the way for success in the outer realms, bringing you professional opportunities that feel incredibly serendipitous. Ripples of change continue to unfold as a total solar eclipse in Aries lands in your sacred fourth house on April 8, forcing you to make your comfort, security, and sense of belonging a top priority.

A beautiful new beginning starts to blossom come spring. As Jupiter forms a conjunction with Uranus in your fifth house of creativity, love, and self-expression on April 20, you may be caught off guard by something you’re completely infatuated with. Whether this is another person or an artistic idea, this infatuation has the power to catapult you into a future beyond your wildest dreams. Let go of your need for control and simply allow yourself to be swept up in whatever love affair this turns out to be. And as Jupiter subsequently enters Gemini on May 25, it will spend the rest of the year ramping things up in your sixth house of work, health, and service. This will increase your desire to be productive and intentional in every action you take, allowing you to refine your fitness regimens, nurture your self-care routines, and strengthen your work ethic.
You may need to speak your mind in a way that changes everything by the time fall begins. After all, a lunar eclipse in Pisces will help you get rid of blockages in your third house of communication and informative exchanges on September 17. This could encourage you to obtain the facts and truths that have been withheld from you, further inspiring you to speak on topics that are important to you. And as a solar eclipse in Libra returns to your 10th house of public image on October 2, you may find yourself embarking down a highly meaningful professional path.
The end of the year may stall your engines, but there’s nothing wrong with slowing down. Mars stations retrograde in your eighth house of intimacy and investments on December 6, challenging your need for control over every situation. You may find that the harder you try to influence or possess something—or someone—the less sure of yourself you feel. Allow this retrograde to show you what happens when you let trust take the lead.
This year will strengthen your relationships and encourage you to express yourself, because your Sagittarius 2024 horoscope says you’re a magnet for all sorts of new and exciting people. Let those you meet inspire you endlessly, because you’re zeroing in on the goals that truly matter to you.
Throughout 2023, you’ve started conversations and reached out to people who share your interests on an intrinsic level, thanks to the taste you got of Pluto in Aquarius. However, Pluto will re-enter Aquarius from January 20 to September 1, and again on November 19, where it will continue to add fuel to the fire of your third house of communication and information until 2043. This will inspire you to create, converse, and collaborate on topics and subjects that are not only somewhat taboo, but genuinely fascinating to you on a psychic level. Gone are the days where you only explore something superficially, because in 2024, you’re going as deep as possible.
What has been holding you back from truly expressing yourself? What inner child would has stopped you from fully embracing the love, romance, and pleasure of emotional expression? You’ll find answers to these questions once the North Node of Destiny joins forces with healing Chiron on February 19, driving you to take a leap of faith in your playful fifth house. 2024 is the year you make up for all the times you held yourself back from doing something you’ve always wanted to do, because there’s a starving artist living inside you that’s begging to be fed. Once a lunar eclipse in Libra rises in your 11th house of community ideals on March 25, you will be further inspired to share the wealth, knowing that having the courage to be creative will show others how to do the same. And as a total solar eclipse casts a shadow over your romantic fifth house on April 8, you’re truly redefining your understanding of love and what it means to wear your heart on your sleeve.

Once winter thaws into spring, you’ll feel motivated to hit the grindstone and tend to your self-care needs in an exciting new way. After all, Jupiter forms a conjunction with Uranus in your sixth house of health, work, and service on April 20, opening up new pathways to productivity, efficiency, and nourishment. You have the potential to make a ton of progress in a very short amount of time, but breaking records isn’t what truly matters; it’s more about proving everything you ever doubted about yourself wrong. This is soon to be followed by Jupiter’s foray into Gemini, which begins on May 25. This transit will attract abundance to your seventh house of partnerships, strengthening and stimulating your one-on-one partnerships in a way that could lead to business proposals, marriage offers, and more.
However, by autumn, you may be dealing with beautiful—and possibly uncomfortable—changes in your personal life that seem out of your control. This is when a lunar eclipse in Pisces will pierce the sky on September 17, initiating a transformation in your fourth house of home and family. You may be moving to a new place, welcoming new family members, and dealing with the stress of shaking up your sacred space. This paves the way for a solar eclipse in Libra on October 2, which will further invigorate your 11th house of humanitarian causes. While you may be letting go of your associations with certain social groups, you’re also connecting with people who share your dream of a better tomorrow.
The year concludes with Mars retrograde in Leo, which begins on December 6. This retrograde will check the oil and get the engine checked in your ninth house of travel, expansion, and wisdom, which could make you feel somewhat locked in place. If you’re dreaming of something “bigger” that what you have, keep in mind that sometimes, you need to make sure you have everything ready to go before you can truly embark on your next adventure.
This year will inspire you to step into your main character energy, because your Scorpio 2024 horoscope is the beginning of what could be the most significant chapter of your life. While Rome wasn’t built in a day, you may be pleasantly surprised by all you’ll be able to accomplish across the next 365 days. With Mars—your ruling planet—entering your third house of communication on January 3, you’ll be able to sweet talk your way through all your New Year’s resolutions.
You’ve already begun the process of healing some of your childhood trauma, because you got a taste of Pluto in Aquarius during 2023. However, Pluto will re-enter Aquarius from January 20 to September 1, and again on November 19, where it will continue to transform your fourth house of home and family until 2043. During this time, you may feel like a tree that has been picked up by its roots, only to be replanted somewhere else. And while this could leave you feeling insecure and unsure at times, it will ultimately allow you to grow taller than you ever thought possible. This year, you may begin the process of moving, healing, building, and reconnecting with family in a meaningful new way.
If you’ve been putting too much pressure on yourself to keep up with productivity at the expense of your health and well-being, 2024 will be the year you heal that misbelief. On February 19, the North Node of Destiny will join forces with Chiron—the wounded healer—in your sixth house of work and health, prompting you to forge rituals and routines that benefit you rather than deplete you. Once a lunar eclipse in Libra provokes change in your 12th house of spirituality on March 25, you will face your demons right before you set yourself free from guilt, resentment, and anything that holds you back. However, a total solar eclipse in Aries on April 8 will snap you right back into reality, as it will kickstart a new beginning in your sixth house of work, health, daily routine. Allow this eclipse to help you become more grounded, helping you forge rituals that refine and improve your life on a physical level.
By spring, you may begin the process of strengthening your relationships and solidifying them in solid gold. As Jupiter joins forceswith Uranus in your seventh house of partnerships on April 20, you may start a relationship with someone new that has the power to take both of you to incredible new heights. Whether these relationships are platonic, romantic, or even business-oriented, you have the power to truly pioneer something game-changing together. And once Jupiter enters Gemini on May 25, it will sprinkle fairy dust on your eighth house of merging energies, which will expand your desire for trust, investment, and shared connection. You’re no longer in the mood for superficial promises, but something much deeper and weightier. You’re also in a beautiful position to make wise decisions with your money, so make sure you meet with a financial advisor.
By autumn, you may be starting new love affairs and letting go of pain from your past. A lunar eclipse in Pisces lights a fire in your fifth house of romance and self-expression on September 17, which could lead to creations of all kinds. You may be reframing your understanding of love, connection, and creativity, so give in to the temptations that tug on your heartstrings. A subsequent solar eclipse in Libra will shed skin you’ve outgrown in your 12th house of spirituality and endings, allowing you to forgive yourself on all the levels you’ve been holding yourself back.
The most challenging part of the year begins on December 6, when Mars—your ruling planet—stations retrograde in your 10th house of career and public image. You may feel slighted by setbacks as you struggle to prove yourself during this time, so stop trying to. This retrograde is challenging you to know your worth without the rest of the world validating it. Instead of clashing with your superiors, give them time to realize all the hard work you’ve been doing on their own time.
This new year looks promising right from the jump, because your Virgo2024 horoscope begins with a positive turn of events. The holiday season was likely beyond exhausting for you, but you have every reason to celebrate Mercury—your ruling planet—stationing direct as of January 1, giving you the space to think, speak, and act more freely.
This year, you’ll dive even more deeply into your role as a helper, a healer, and a person of service. Pluto will re-enter Aquarius from January 20 to September 1, and again on November 19, activating your sixth house of health and work. This transit—which lasts until 2043—will transform your ability to not only be more productive and efficient, but more intentional in every ritual you partake in. This will ultimately help you appreciate your day-to-day life on a more profound level, furthering your growth as someone who truly makes the world a better place.
However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. By the time the North Nodeof Destiny joins forces with Chiron—the wounded healer—on February 19, you may be reckoning with your shadow self (a.k.a. all the parts of your personality you still feel uncomfortable with acknowledging). As this alchemy unfolds in your eighth house of intimacy and transformation, you’ll be encouraged to share some of your secrets, giving others the strength to share theirs in a mutually empowering exchange. Once a lunar eclipse in Libra slashes through your second house of money and self-esteem on March 25, you may be forced to rearrange your priorities and rethink your values. This is immediately followed by a total solar eclipse in Aries on April 8, which will fan the flames in your eighth house of emotional and financial ties. You may be severing ties with a bad investment just as you’re creating space for an even more fruitful one.

Spring brings another exciting proposal. As Jupiter joins forces with Uranus in Taurus on April 20, it will light a rocket in your ninth house of philosophy, travel, and publishing, which could inspire an idea that has truly never been seen before. Not only could this take you to new places and allow you to experience new things, but it would come with a level of knowledge that’s wise beyond its years, inspiring you to further your studies even more. Make no mistake—you’re leaving an indelible mark on our culture this year, Virgo. And once larger-than-life Jupiter enters your 10th house of career and publicity as of May 25, you’ll find the momentum to further your professional pursuits, expand your brand, and make waves in your field for the rest of the year.
Major changes in your personal life could begin to unfold during fall. It all starts with the lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 17, which will be the first of a series of eclipses that will take place on the Virgo-Pisces axis. This particular eclipse will send lightning to your seventh house of partnerships, which could lead to abrupt separations and reunions that carry immense magnitude. No matter who stays and who remains, have faith that it is all part of a cosmic masterplan. A subsequent solar eclipse in Libra arrives on October 2, which will further a transformation already unfolding in your second house of money and material possessions. Get ready for a noticeable shift in your financial status.
The year wraps up with Mars retrograde, which begins on December 6. This particular retrograde will unfold in your 12th house of solitude and subconscious energies, which could make you feel even more weary and exhausted than usual. It wouldn’t be the worst idea to extend your PTO during the holidays, as this retrograde wants you to rest, reflect, and reconnect with your spiritual side. Pushing yourself past your limits will only lead to a crash.
You’re on the verge of a great awakening and your Leo 2024 horoscope says you’re starting—and ending—many important relationships this year. However, you’re also making major strides toward your career goals and landing opportunities you never could have predicted.
If you’ve been parting ways with people you never expected to leave behind, it’s partly because you got a taste of Pluto in Aquarius over the course of 2023. However, Pluto will re-enter Aquarius from January 20 to September 1, and again on November 19, activating your seventh house of allies, enemies, and significant others. This will attract intensity in your one-on-one relationships and transform your understanding of how a relationship should function. This year, the people you meet—and the ones you try to forget—will have lasting implications in your life over the course of the next 20 years.
However, 2024 will also be a highly spiritual year full of epiphanies and game-changing realizations. As the North Node of Destiny joins forces with Chiron—the wounded healer—in your ninth house of wisdom and expansion on February 19, you will begin to process the losses that have taken place and use them to learn more about the meaning of life. Not only are you rediscovering that knowledge is power, but you’re also learning how to hack your mindset and embrace a much more positive understanding. When a lunar eclipse in Libra lands in your third house of siblings, close friends, and daily communications as of March 25, a series of life-changing conversations could take place as your social circle begins to evolve and dissolve. And as a total solar eclipse casts a shadow over your ninth house of perspective on April 8, you may find yourself letting go of one set of beliefs in favor of another.
One of the most exciting moments for you in the course of 2024 arrives on April 20. This is when Jupiter will join forces with Uranus in your 10th house of publicity and career, activating a new source of inspiration in your professional pursuits. You may rediscover your goals from a new angle, break the internet with a meaningful press release, or simply take on the job of your dreams. Either way, you’re making waves in your field. And once Jupiter enters your 11th house of social outreach and global impact on May 25, you may find yourself meeting tons of new people for the rest of the year; people who will have so much to teach you, show you, and give you. It’s all about who you know!
By the time a lunar eclipse in Pisces sets off alarms in your eighth house of death and rebirth on September 17, you may uncover life-altering information that sparks a transformation. Secrets will be revealed, alliances will shift, and the level of trust you are able to give and receive will be challenged. This is soon to be followed by a solar eclipse in Libra on October 2, jumpstarting the engine in your third house of communication and and information, furthering your pursuit for knowledge and activating your desire to study.
However, as the year comes to a close, you may be forced to rethink the way you express yourself, judge yourself, and monitor your ego. As Mars stations retrograde in Leo as of December 6, it will challenge your will to win, which could punch the snooze button on your mojo. Luckily, this retrograde will also teach you how to let bygones be bygones, because you are worth so much more than these imaginary standards you’ve set for yourself.
As I write this in 2023, it’s the Year of the Rabbit, at least in Chinese culture. If you thought Western astrology was complicated, then you haven’t yet heard of Chinese astrology. It is a beautiful classification system with a repeating cycle of 12 years according to the Chinese calendar. Every zodiac year or ‘ben ming nian’ is represented by i) an animal, ii) yin and yang energy, iii) and the 5 Chinese zodiac elements — Earth, metal, water, wood, and fire.
Today, we’ll try to unravel how Chinese culture uses animals as zodiacs. “What is my zodiac animal and how does it affect my future and personality?” — We’ll answer all of this, and more.
12 Animal Signs In The Chinese Zodiac Year — And The ‘Great Race’
What are the 12 zodiac sign animals in the Chinese horoscope? Before that, let’s talk about what makes the Chinese system of zodiac signs more complex than the Western one. As we talked about, a person’s ‘shengxiao’ (‘sheng’ is the year of birth, ‘xiao’ means resemblance) combines the following: The five elements mentioned above, the 12 animals mentioned below, and the concepts of yin-yang. This combination predicts their individual personality and prospects. Also, there are lucky years or days (or unlucky) for crops, relationships, to ward off evil spirits, etc. This classification system based on zodiac animals has been adopted in the human history of many Asian countries.
However, today, we will only talk about one of the elements: The animals. Here are the 12 animals that represent the Chinese zodiac, in the right order. Each represents a different set of personality traits and Chinese zodiac story.
At the root of this system where animals are associated with birth years, there are many versions of origin stories. One of them is more popular in Chinese culture. Once, an emperor declared ‘The Great Race’ of animals. The order in which the animals finished the Jade Emperor’s race would determine their chronology in the 12-year cycle. A piece of trivia is that the rat cheated, hence winning first place in the rotation. And the cat drowned because of the rat, hence the forever enmity between cats and rats across all human history, as well as between cats and water.
Find out your real animal sign according to the Chinese zodiac system
The Chinese zodiac year starts with Chinese New Year, which ranges from late January to mid-February. Are you curious to know what zodiac animal is related to your birth year? “What is my zodiac animal in Chinese culture? What’s my Chinese zodiac sign if I was born in ____?” If these are your questions, our image of the zodiac cycle would have helped a bit. But we have something better for you. Here is a Chinese zodiac sign calculator for your question: “Which Chinese zodiac animal sign am I?” Happy fortune-telling!
Difference Between Western Astrology And Chinese Astrology
You might think, “There’s a Cancer zodiac animal – The crab. There are other animal signs in Western astrology too, like the ram and the scorpion which help predict zodiac sign compatibility. So, what’s the difference between Western astrology and Chinese astrology?” Here it is:
The Western system is dependent on planetary shifts and positions of constellations while Chinese astrology is dependent on the year you were born, yin-yang, and the five elements
In Western astrology, personality traits are divided into 12 – According to the 12 months of the year. In Chinese astrology, personality traits are divided into 12 as well – But according to a 12-year repeating zodiac cycle where every year belongs to one birth year
Western astrology does have animals signifying certain astrological signs – Like the zodiac animal for Cancer is a crab, the zodiac animal for Capricorn is a sea-goat, the Aries animal is the ram, etc. But it’s a division of zodiac animal signs by month, whereas in the other, it’s by year
There are zodiac signs in Western astrology that don’t have an assigned animal like there’s no Aquarius animal or Libra zodiac animal. However, Chinese people grow up believing that every zodiac and every year is related to an animal, and each of them is associated with certain personality types and fortunes
But there are many other belief systems too. Take the Celtic Tree Astrology; it believes that human personalities are associated with different species of trees. The Celtic zodiac signs are thus formed of 12 trees, like birch, ivy, holly, etc. This is a great reminder that all cultures have a unique cosmic or nature-driven significance attached to human birth.
Why Is Your Zodiac Sign Important For You To Know?
If you’re on your spiritual path or a believer of astrology, and you wish to know what your zodiac animal is, then look no further – we’ve put together several reasons that this knowledge can be an important and rewarding milestone for you. As research points out, humans share their more ancient brain regions with animals. Knowing that humans and animals exist in an equal realm helps “dismantle the illusion of human exceptionalism.”
Knowing about your zodiac animal can be beneficial to you in the following ways:
You get an in-depth insight into your core personality, characteristics, and overall vibe
You can relate to these creatures about your inner desires and spiritual energy
You can surrender to them for strength, love, comfort, and hope during dark/dangerous situations. It can offer you deep lessons/secret messages
Zodiac animals are considered to be good omens. Spotting them helps you feel grounded and reassured
Knowing that some social creature out there shares the same passion as you makes you feel less alone
Some people believe that zodiac animals protected our ancestors by providing them with healing and wisdom; they also helped predict the future
It gives you a sense of resonance with others who have similar personality traits as you and helps you understand people from other signs better too

Key Pointers
Chinese astrology is a classification system with a repeating cycle of 12 years
Every birth year is represented by an animal, which reflects your core personality and innermost desires, and is considered a good omen in Chinese culture. Some of these 12 animals are tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, etc.
Western astrology has 12 zodiac signs for every month of the year. Some of them are symbolized with animals. For example, an Aries can resonate with the fiercely protective Aries animal: the ram, Cancer zodiac animal is the family-oriented crab, zodiac animal for Capricorn is the sea-goat, etc.
Five of the zodiac signs in Western astrology are not animals. For example, an Aquarius animal doesn’t exist. There are no Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, or Libra zodiac animals either
That’s the end of this list of all the zodiac animals in Chinese astrology. Now, remember this. The zodiac animal for Cancer might be the crab, or maybe it’s the Asian Rat that you resonate with, but these signs and their meanings are just for guidance and support. Their meanings are not fixed in your life, and you have control over what you do with the traits discussed above. If you don’t see Chinese zodiac sign compatibility with your crush or your partner, then don’t treat it as a universal instruction. It’s simply a nudge to nurture your relationship a little more.
Aquarius is going to be most romantically compatible with other air signs, Libra and Gemini. They’re also compatible with the element of fire—most notably their opposite, Leo. Taurus is most romantically compatible with their fellow earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn, but also compliment water signs, especially their opposite, Scorpio.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice is an annual celebration of the longest and darkest night of the year that dates back as early as the fifth century. Let’s get back in touch with our ancestors and partake in one—or all—of these easy winter solstice rituals.
This time of year is always a major turning point, as each day after the winter solstice brings more sunlight, which is why this celebration is also dubbed “the return of the sun”. The winter solstice marks the moment in which each of the earth’s poles are at their maximum tilt, and this year—on December 21 at exactly 4:47 pm ET—this will occur. In astrology, the winter and summer solstice always take place at the very moment the sun enters a cardinal sign—Capricorn and Cancer respectively. And because cardinal signs are always motivators, movers and go-getters, the winter solstice can be a time of meaningful intention setting.
In Pagan traditions, the winter solstice is also known as “Yule”. This celebration—which happens somewhere between December 20-23, depending on the year—is made up of rituals that focus on the energy of rebirth, transformation, creativity, new beginnings and the release of unwanted habits. Find some of these potent rituals and practices to help you celebrate the winter solstice and make the most of this monumental turning point!
6 Simple Winter Solstice Rituals

Cleanse & Declutter Your Home
As the winter solstice marks a switch from elongating nights into lengthening days, we want to make sure that we are equipped for the vibrant, free-flowing, and positive energy from the sun to reenter our life and our home. Remove any energetic blockages by cleaning out your home, room, closet, vehicle, photo albums, junk drawer, pantry, and anywhere else that you are accumulating stagnant energy with excess “things”. If there isn’t room for it, it has to go! This is the perfect time to donate, re-gift, and sell the things that are no longer needed and find them a new, aligned home.

Decorate Trees With Treats
The winter solstice is a perfect time to decorate a tree, big or small, for our animal friends that live outdoors. As there will be less time to hunt and forage, it would do birds, deer and squirrels well to find a tree decorated with seeds, nuts and apples. You can also bake orange slices and animal-friendly cookies to place upon your offering tree.

Set Your Winter Intentions
Our next solstice celebration won’t be until the first day of Cancer season in June 2023, so allow yourself to take some time to rest, reflect, and write your intentions for the season of growing daylight that lies ahead. Lighting white or red candles, unplugging from technology, breaking out a journal and pen, and taking some time to write your intentions is a great way to honor this long night ahead.

Set Up a Yule altar
‘Tis the season to decorate and bring joy into your home. Use seasonal berries, wreaths, garland, candles, oranges, apples, pinecones, crystals, golden discs to call forth the sunlight, and any other meaningful memorabilia that you have to honor this new season ahead.

Decorate a Yule Wreath
Speaking of wreaths, why not decorate one of your own? Take an evergreen wreath to bring peace and prosperity into your home. Wrap your wreath with natural elements like fir, pine, cedar, yew, holly, mistletoe, juniper, and ivy. It is said in Paganism that pine will bring forth healing, mistletoe brings fertility and love, yew directly aligns to the season of rebirth and transformation, and holly can protect you and your home from negative energy. Once these have all been wound together, you can start to add your own magical touches like small ornaments, winterberries, baby’s breath, and more to bring it all together and make it uniquely yours. Once complete, hang on your front door to commemorate your solstice celebration and encourage others to do the same!

Host or Attend a Yule Feast
Dating back to the fifth century (that’s over 1,500 years ago!) villagers would come together to celebrate the winter solstice with a Yule feast. The practice of feasting before the longest night of the year was meant to make sure that everyone would be able to weather their long, cold sleep. Cooking seasonal produce, filling your home with the scent of spices and herbs, and bringing together loved ones is a way to warm the heart, home, and belly on the solstice. And if you followed step 1, each attendee could bring one of their de-cluttered and re-gifted items wrapped up to have a Yule swap! Encourage one another to dress warmly and cozily to encourage the sensation of the season that is upon us.
Together, we will cheers to a bountiful season and many warmer, longer days ahead of us. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to celebrate, but I encourage you to welcome the feeling of celebration into your life, your home, and your heart as often as possible.
The calendar year is winding down, and with it, Capricorn season is nearly here. As we inch closer to the winter solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, Capricorn comes to remind us of the value of structure, diligence, and moving forward at a slow and steady pace.

Venus is in Scorpio from December 4-December 29, 2023. Whewww! This will be an intense transit and filled with sexually charged energy, drama and untimely break-ups and the entering of new unusual pairings.
You may find yourself romantically leaning toward extreme ideals- which is fine – but check all passionate promises because many of them won’t be able to be fulfilled.
Deep honest raw intimacy will be high on the list for many especially as we stare down a long cold winter at least here in North America.
On the 6th, Neptune goes direct in Pisces which allows our creativity to be unleashed and with it our optimism and confidence. The only downside to this transit is that we may have trouble focusing on all of the things we wish to accomplish.
To be honest I think these two transits are exceptional as long as you can keep the energies balanced with self-awareness and strategic action taking.
Lets see what the stars have in store for you:)

CAPRICORN:
Think back- are you the same person from three years ago? Heavy transformation especially when it comes to emotional and mental maturity has been a primary theme for many Cappys. Be proud of how far many of you have come and take some time to really journal out where you have grown.
RED FLAG: With this Venus in Scorpio transit many of you will be feeling quite sexually adventurous- slow down and make sure that your partner is truly up for the “shenighans” as you are.
SWEET SPOT: Expect a welcome call from a long lost friend- “Reunited and it feels so good!” is what your heart will be singing.

If your sun sign is your personality, then your rising is the first impression you make as you walk into a room. When a stranger first meets you and tells you what they think of you, in fact, they’re probably picking up on aspects of your rising signs characteristics.
Being that it’s a mutable sign, Virgo can be flexible when it makes sense to them—but they aren’t easily destabilized, which is why they’re so self-assured. The sixth house also has to do with self-care, so Virgos can be clean freaks, a bit obsessive, and of course, expect the same diligence from you.
The month of November is somehow already winding down—but not without a full moon, first. Having just entered Sagittarius season, this full moon will be in Sag’s opposite sign, Gemini. And depending on where this moon lands in your birth chart, we all have something different to expect. Here’s what to know.
