This is a week to accomplish, clarify our goals and figure out what step we can take next to get there. Choose a hill and take a step, achieve a small goal towards the larger goals; any sense of progress furthers. We’ll feel a lot better while climbing our mountain as Mercury joins Mars, the Sun, and Pluto in ambitious, organized Capricorn as entrepreneurial Mars forms an energizing trine to expansive Jupiter.

Capricorn’s symbol is the image of a mountain goat that can gracefully climb a mountain but looks pretty silly walking on flat terrain. The Capricorn goat is a fishtailed mer-goat; first it has to dive down to the dreamworld ocean to find a vision, then walk it up the mountain top. Martin Luther King is a powerful example of this elevated Capricorn energy, he had a dream and he walked across the country to make it so. Vison + enduring action.

This Capricorn energy can help us clarify our goals, but also make us pushy. It can enrich politics by building systems to enact a provision, take a theory and make it so. But it can also leave people strategically manipulating just for the fun of it, or depressed when they don’t have a goal or don’t feel like they’re making progress.

So if we don’t know have a big goal at the moment, take a small one. Decide to drink a glass of water and drink it. If blocked in one direction, make progress where the road is open. And if we need to rest, make that the goal and enjoy the accomplishment. Simple procedural things, minor habit improvements, all further. Capricorn loves…
