Capricorn 2001

At times you will feel rather lonely in 2001 because the amount of money you make and the satisfaction you get as a result of having done a good job will be enough compensation. At the end of the year there will be a happy ending for a love affair. Your partner will be more amenable and peace will come back to your life.

 

Strong Points

The most obvious of these is your power of concentration when undertaking any task, your great capacity for thought and your ability to be coherent and make sense of even the most complex issues. You never improvise and always play very safe without taking any major risks.

 

Weak Points

Even though you have a great capacity for self-preservation and always try to scale the heights of the social ladder, it may happen that you alienate yourself from loved ones and begin to feel lonely. You are surrounded by unjustified fears and are sometimes a little ungenerous over trivial matters.

 

Luck and Money

You won't be short of money for the first half of this year because your job will bring you great financial rewards. You are a good money manager and you'll abstain from spending too much thanks to your thrifty habits.

In August though, you may experience a slight downturn in your financial situation. It could be as a result of an unlucky gamble, an unforseen family expense, an inheritance that didn't come through or maybe just an old debt that you have to repay. But if you are careful you'll be able to solve the problem as soon as it happens and it shouldn't cause you a major headache.

Lady Luck will be on your side in June and during the first week in July. During these weeks, things will resolve themselves without difficulty and without much intervention on your part in the areas of health, money and love. For the rest of the year you will need to work hard if you want to make any financial gains. If you want to achieve a high level of contentment you will have to give your best in anything you decide to do. Even then, be careful not to expect too much.

 

Love

From January until the end of April, Saturn will be in your house of love and it will bring with it a burning thirst for passion that will be almost impossible to satisfy. Unfortunately, your relationship with your partner might cause you real headaches for most of the year but you feel such loyalty to them that you won't ever dream of giving up. Often your feelings will be buried deep inside you but June will be a great month to break free especially if you know how to avoid getting involved in the tense situations around you.

As well as June, both July and August will be months when you'll give your romantic needs free range. Warm summer days will help you relax and get rid of the stress you have accumulated in the course of the year. This in turn will be very positive for your relationship with your partner and you will finally establish real communication that will grow by the day. You and your partner will have a passionate romantic encounter during the summer months that will spice up your love life. By the end of the year you will resolve all the problems you once had with your loved one.

 

Work

A very fortunate year for your career and one that will bring you many rewards. By the time spring arrives, your vision for the future and your creativity will yield great results. People will help you achieve your goals but there is a risk that your ego may get a bit too big for the liking of many of your colleagues, so try to keep it under control. You will be faced with great responsibilities but as you are someone who can work hard and efficiently you will easily deal with them. Someone may commission you to do a very special project that will bring you great pleasure when completed.

Be careful during the summer because the opposition of Saturn and Pluto could bring you some headaches at work. People may try to steal your thunder, undermine you or simply get you into trouble with your superiors.

In October you will be given many new responsibilities, as your capacity to organize will make you irreplaceable. As you are not prepared to let down those people who trust you, you will work really hard but you'll do it efficiently and it will bring you great personal satisfaction.

 

Your Challenge This Year

Worry less about yourself and your public image - only by taking the time and effort to get to know other people will find you genuine satisfaction. Don't be so defensive when people challenge your point of view - all you'll do is alienate them. You'll have bags of energy but you must use it to help others (without expecting anything in return) rather than selfishly wasting it on chasing impossible dreams.

 

Life's Mysteries

Although we all find ourselves making wishes, we never really expect them to come through. Of course, some people do get their hearts desire - but this could be down to the power of positive thought. However, there are plenty of age-old superstitions that are said to increase the chances of getting what we want. Here are just a few of them:

If You See A Shooting Star
It may be only a humble piece of space dust burning up in the earth's atmosphere, but for centuries it's been believed that seeing a shooting star is a good omen (you can increase your chances of seeing one by watching the sky when you know there's going to be a meteor shower - there is usually one during the middle of August). If you happen to spot one, focus on your wish, then just wait to find out if the magic has worked.

When There's A Full Moon
On those nights when the moon is full, make a circle on the floor and place yourself in the middle of it then look at the moon with total concentration and make your wish.

If You Come Across A Symmetrical Number
If you come across a number that reads the same from left to right as from right to left for example (9223229) be sure to make a wish.

Tip: Keep an eye on the figures on train/bus tickets and phone numbers etc, just in case a lucky number is right under your nose.

When You Blow Out the Candles on your Birthday Cake
Try to blow out the flames as quickly as you can, then close your eyes and make a wish. You then have a whole year to make your wish come through.
