A new moon at the top of your chart starts a fresh chapter at work.

For Capricorn, October puts your career in the spotlight. The New Moon in Libra on the 10th falls at the top of your chart, the best moment this year to set a new professional goal. Saturn, your ruling planet, is retrograde in your home zone, and on the 4th the Sun faces it, so home and work both ask for your time. Venus turns retrograde on the 3rd in your zone of friends and networks, and Mercury joins her on the 24th, so old friends and group plans return. Pluto turns direct in your money zone on the 15th. The Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th brings romance, fun and creativity to a joyful peak.

Love & Connection

Capricorn, love gets warmer as the month goes on. Venus turns retrograde on the 3rd in your friendship zone, and a friend may turn out to mean more, or an old friend may reappear with feelings. Take your time. The 4th asks you to balance family and ambition, so make sure the people at home feel seen. The 20th brings strong feelings that test your values. The Full Moon in Taurus on the 26th falls in your romance zone, a wonderful night for a date, a confession or simply having fun with someone you love.

Career & Work

For Capricorn, this is a career month. The New Moon in Libra on the 10th falls in your zone of reputation and ambition, the ideal day to apply, pitch or set a bold goal. On the 4th the Sun faces Saturn, your ruling planet, and a choice between work and home needs a practical answer. On the 16th Mars and Saturn cooperate, bringing support from a partner, investor or someone with resources. Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th in your networking zone, so the last week suits following up with contacts and old leads.

Money & Finances

Capricorn, money is changing shape. Pluto, the planet of slow, deep change, turns direct in your money zone on the 15th, and a long shift in how you earn starts moving forward again. Mars and Jupiter in your zone of shared money bring chances through a partner, a loan, an investment or a client, as long as you read every term. On the 16th steady, careful moves with joint finances pay off. With Venus retrograde in your friendship zone, avoid lending money to friends right now. Mercury turns retrograde on the 24th, so wait until after November 13 to sign financial agreements.
