The really big news for those born under this star sign is the entry of Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, and the entry of Pluto, the planet of upheaval and renewal, into this conservative sign of power and prestige. Jupiter moving into Capricorn offers opportunities associated with travel and higher learning. To normally dour, sober and serious Capricorns Jupiter brings a touch of humour and optimism. Not that Capricorns can ever be anything other than their true nature, but this passage of Jupiter brings some lightness, and perhaps even a little joy.

On the subject of career and business, normally a strong focus for ambitious Capricorns, the passage of Jupiter through this sign heralds new opportunities for advancement and growth. Jupiter moves though the whole sign of Capricorn in 2008, and therefore offers practical assistance to all born under this zodiac sign.

Pluto’s move into Capricorn however will influence only those Capricorns born in December. This planet is associated with death and rebirth. Something needs to be jettisoned to make space for something new to be born. This is a time of major life transformation for those born between the 22nd and the 23rd of December. Pluto’s influence will force those born at this time to make their outer life congruent with their inner nature, and brings out into the open all that has been denied or repressed. The ‘garbage truck of life’ makes a call, and all that is no longer needed is hauled away. Those who hold on too tightly to what is being hauled away are in danger for going along for the ride! The truth of the old adage that the more something is repressed, the greater control it has over our lives, becomes very apparent at this time. Recognise it, deal with it, and then move on.

The 3rd major planetary influence in 2008 is Capricorn’s ruling planet, Saturn, which provides a strong dose of organisational know-how and efficiency. Moving through the sign of Virgo, Saturn prunes away all the dead wood, and provides a platform for future success through exercise and diet. January September and November are particularly important months for exercising restraint and organisational efficiency, and paying attention to matters of basic health.

Capricorns born between the 6th and 13th of January are likely to experience unexpected breakthroughs and unforeseen opportunities for advancement. Many among this group may also seek a more independent path of their own choosing.

For Capricorns born a few days either side of the 24th December unexpected situations developments take place at the second half of February 2008. Expect important developments if your Ascendant or any of your personal planets occupy the second degree of Virgo. An interpretation of your natal horoscope together with a forecast report will be necessary to understand the significance of this lunar eclipse.
