Capricorn (December 22nd to January 20th)

Venus starts retrograding in your sign on Saturday for the next six weeks. This has parallels to the last time she retrograded in May of 2012. Then you may have been processing some unresolved feelings and issues related to your job, health mainte-nance and routines. Now is a “processing” point for getting clarity on those issues from back then; but you’re dealing with a whole new dimension of your reality and connection to other people as well.  You have to believe you are who you said you would be then. Of course, that’s easier said than done.  However, you’re up for this and you’ve been readying yourself for this transformation for a few weeks now. As we step into your birthday season this weekend, you’ll have ample time to see how well you’re moving forward into this new reality about yourself.  And it’s okay to fake it until you’re fully making it soon enough.
