Capricorn Weekly Horoscope | August 12th – August 18th 2024
Everyone’s busy these days. There’s no denying that. But when someone prioritizes their to-do list over yours? Well, that’s when there’s a problem. Time is as valuable as money to a Capricorn—perhaps even more so. That’s why you coordinate with other people’s schedules, strive to complete assignments ahead of deadline, and rarely (if ever) leave things until the last moment. The Mars/Saturn square on August 16th shows you having a long-overdue conversation with a co-worker who recently left you hanging while they attended to other obligations. This should never have happened in the first place, and after this conversation—it never will again.

You never expected a favor to be returned. Truth to tell you can barely remember having performed it in the first place, so it will come as a complete surprise this week that someone you once helped out in a pinch now wants to repay you. You’ll want to beg off, of course (your naturally Spartan self is averse to any signs of gratitude), but make a point of being appreciative and thankful. You can always pass this on to someone else in need if you like, but once you get sight of the enormity of the gift you may want to rethink that.

Mercury turns retrograde on August 5th and along with it go any hopes of being singled out for a job well done, rewarded for your efforts, or lauded for your talents. It’s a little disappointing (not to mention dispiriting), but the truth is that supervisors have their noses pressed to the grindstone these days and are far too busy racing to keep up with deadlines to notice anyone else. Keep hurt feelings to yourself and wait until August 28th when Mercury resumes direction. This is when everyone will be in a much better frame of mind and more generous with their praise and appreciation.

You know you have a great idea, but that’s not what’s staring back at you from the drawing board. What started out as brilliant and inspired suddenly looks flat and clichĂ©. What to do? Take it apart and start again. Part of you will howl in protest. You’ve a deadline looming and people are expecting to see something, but trust the Stars. You won’t be happy if you turn in anything less than your best. The beauty of Mercury retrograde (August 5th to 28th) is that bosses and clients are dealing with their own surprise cancellations and delays. They won’t mind allowing for extra time.

Moreover, customers will buy, superiors will smile, and your romantic life couldn’t be better. So should all this good fortune make you worried? Not with Jupiter around. Jupiter confers cosmic protection and benediction, so enjoy this time in the Sun.

Not everyone who comes breezing into your life is here to stay. Certain encounters are meant to raise your consciousness, expand your horizons, or enliven your spirit and that’s exactly what a certain someone will do on August 7th. He will lift you out of that slump you’ve fallen into and get you excited about your life again. Unfortunately, he’ll be gone before you know it, but look at it this way: would you really have valued him if he had stuck around? Think of him as a wonderful angel who came into your life at just the right time to turn things around.

You know you did something wrong, but can’t quite figure it out. It’s not unlike adding up a column of numbers and getting a different answer every time. You pore over every detail, but the solution stubbornly resists you. Welcome to Mercury retrograde. Mercury will be retrograde from August 5th to August 28th. Planet of the mind, Mercury becomes a brainteaser when it’s retrograde. What you want to watch out for is insisting that the rules still apply and that it’s reality that’s wrong. Think Alice through the looking glass. Get into the spirit of exploring the ridiculous and you could discover the sublime.

Mercury turning retrograde in your sign on August 5th will impact you most of all. You can expect to deal with all of the misunderstandings, last-minute cancellations, and unforeseen technical glitches that are associated with this planet’s reverse direction. However, Mercury retrogrades are also famous for revealing things that lay underfoot. Oftentimes we don’t take notice of the path we’re on if it’s a well-trod and familiar one. We just do what we always do. But if we are forced to tread back over it, then we might spot something that went unrecognized before. This could prove to be fortuitous on August 24th.

You may not receive a windfall, but you will get the next best thing – and that’s an invite or opportunity to show off what you can do in an entirely different setting. This is just the break you need since you’ve been coming up empty-handed with your current work situation for a while. No matter what you did, buyers weren’t buying and superiors weren’t promoting. Thankfully all of that changes this week. Whether or not you choose to pursue this new path is up to you, but you’ll certainly enjoy the uplift in spirits and confidence that this fortuitous turn of events will bring.

It’s clear that you and a creative partner make for a successful team. Unfortunately, you don’t get along. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. You’d be surprised at how many famous collaborators couldn’t stand each other. You tried transcending your differences, redoubling your efforts to be professional, or telling yourself that the results justify the aggravation, but it just doesn’t work. Thankfully, Mercury retrograde in Virgo offers more practical solutions in the form of restructuring your roles, bringing in a manager who can act as a go-between (or referee), and coming in at different hours. You may discover that cutting down on your interactions works wonders.

Hooking a big client or backer is one thing, but reeling them in will prove to be a different story. That’s because Mercury, the planet of deals and the wheels that make them happen, turns retrograde on August 5th. Mercury retrogrades are famous for introducing unforeseen complications and delays. Most people get frustrated when this happens and will either push too hard or give up too easily. However, if you were to take the long view of matters and treat this period as three steps forward and two steps back, then you will wind up landing that prize catch of yours on or around September 19th.
