OCTOBER 2019 93
DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR CAPRICORN
1st Tues.—You prioritize and delegate, Capricorn.
Groups, clubs, teams, and worthy causes are on the
receiving end of these talents, and soon everything will
be shipshape.
2nd Wed.—Yesterday’s efforts require more organization
than you bargained for, and you’re on duty applying the
finishing touches. Authority figures notice your abilities.
3rd Thurs.—Mars enters Libra, the house of your rank,
status, higher-ups, and career pursuits (the 10th). Bosses
are more indecisive than usual; gentle suggestions will
help.
4th Fri.—Fractious conditions arise at your place of
employment, but your diligence and team spirit ease the
tension and get the job done despite all the drama and
controversy.
5th Sat.—Your tolerance for slipshod performance is nil,
and you’ll insist on others being as persistent as you are.
Taking on more responsibility is part of the picture.
6th Sun.—Stealth and secrecy loom large, and sec-
ond-guessing motives is high on your agenda. Machinating
to achieve your ends is par for the course, but don’t
overdo it.
7th Mon.—The Sun in Libra squares Saturn in Capricorn,
placing yet another obstacle in your path. You’ll surmount
it with your usual determination and keep moving upward.
8th Tues.—Venus enters Scorpio, your house of commu-
nity projects, friendship, group dynamics, and visionary
goals (the 11th). Cupid flies in, but he’s sowing suspicion.
9th Wed.—Empathy among colleagues eliminates yes-
terday’s doubts or misgivings. A spark of romance is
in the air, and talking about music and art boosts the
festivities.
10th Thurs.—Emails, texts, and conversation continue
almost non-stop. Taking a leadership role, however minor,
escalates your chances with a prospective sweetheart.
11th Fri.—Blind faith is required in an endeavor, and
once you get the facts in place it’s still a high priority.
Circulating to-do lists helps streamline the tasks at hand.
12th Sat.—Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus retrograde
in Taurus, causing Cupid to send mixed signals that land
in the wrong place. Friends become lovers, and vice
versa.
13th Sun.—The Full Moon in Aries lights up the house of
home, real estate, and family roots (the 4th). An aggres-
sive stance is needed here; you’ll get the ball rolling.
14th Mon.—The Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn,
making higher-ups contentious and hungry for power.
Volleys occur to determine who’s really in charge.
15th Tues.—Heartfelt discussions with friends open
doors of discovery. A good story grips your attention
and sends your imagination to new territory. Revelations
follow.
16th Wed.—Romantic pursuits focus on stability, com-
patibility, and financial common sense. Shared interests
in the arts are a plus, and contribute to your mutual
enjoyment.
17th Thurs.—Wearing different hats at your job and per-
forming all the attendant tasks with diplomacy and skill
makes members of the top brass admire your abilities.
18th Fri.—A sibling or neighbor in distress benefits from
your capability and cool head in a crisis. Commuting is
fraught with traffic jams, detours, and other bothersome
delays.
19th Sat.—Mercury in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn,
inclining you to probe a complicated issue with colleagues
and gather clues and data. Compile them for answers.
20th Sun.—A friend demonstrates grit and loyalty to
you and to a group effort. A casual introduction among
friends can result in a romantic attraction that takes root
and grows.
21st Mon.—Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune retrograde
in Pisces, generating a magnetic draw to someone who
lures you with their charm and scintillating conversation.
22nd Tues.—Bosses and other established professionals
rivet your attention with financial plans that impact the
present and the future. Assuage contentious comments.
23rd Wed.—Zeroing in on kids, teens, and their hobbies
sheds new light on talents that may have been dormant
or escaped your attention. Promoting education looms
large.
24th Thurs.—Nit-picking criticism and education anal-
yses brush up against opinions and nebulous beliefs.
Bridge the gap here and watch animosity melt into
agreement.
25th Fri.—Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn,
creating a scenario where new faces become steadfast
friends. A community project gets off to an excellent start.
26th Sat.—Authority figures are indecisive, temperamen-
tal, and argumentative. Comparisons spark controversy,
and seeing justice served becomes a gloomy affair.
27th Sun.—The New Moon in Scorpio activates the
house of friendship, altruism, clubs, and groupthink (the
11th). Transformational changes occur here, and so do
betrayals.
28th Mon.—Challenging outdated norms and paving the
way for new trends comes under scrutiny. You’ll move
forward to be on the cutting edge of the topic.
29th Tues.—The green-eyed monster of jealousy arrives
in your circle of friends, and be mindful that you’re not
the target of unreasonable suspicion here. Keep a low
profile.
30th Wed.—Opening the communication lines among
colleagues keeps everything on the up and up while
bringing taboo subjects to the table. Trust is the hot-but-
ton issue.
31st Thurs.—Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio,
sowing seeds of doubt about certain facets of humanitar-
ian outreach. Back up all comments and communiques.
