Daily Horoscope for Capricorn Summary

The Sun and Mercury roll through and connect with Uranus this week, which is going to fire up the revolution again. So you'll see a lot of discourse on sociopolitical issues, like police killing people, and maybe some in the political vein as well, where Bernie Sanders will probably have his last platform of relevance for a while. And we're Americans, and we talk about American stuff here, but Europe hasn't exactly been a beacon of stability lately either, so there might be more discourse over there about their issues as well.

I'm going to focus more on the Mercury elements, since the Sun's energy won't kick in until later on in the week, and the old man can talk about that if he so chooses.

For today, you're going to have people who want to fight the good fight, but go about it in the wrong ways. This is primarily going to be through verbal/written communication. People will have a tendency to belabor points to the point where you're like "Ok, I get it" and you start to tune them out. If people continue on, they even have the possibility to turn those who actually agree with them against them. Remember that when communicating, you are communicating a message, but the delivery matters too.

Brevity and being succinct are important here. Get your point out and move on. Additionally, if you are in a position where you are trying to be persuasive, you have to think in gradual degrees. Think of bringing home a new puppy. It comes in, and shits on your floor. You get mad. You want it to go outside. But you might set up an "indoor defecation area", so it gets used to going in one common space first, then you migrate the training to outside once it's comfortable with that.

Your conversations with others will work like that. It's too big of a jump to get someone who's got an opposing viewpoint (or might be reluctant to help you out) to just drop where they stand. You have to create a bridge first. Get them somewhere closer to your goal. Maybe compromise some in the process. Once they've come closer to you, you might get them to move even farther towards what you want out of them.

Much of it comes down to tempering expectations and not expecting things to happen all at once. Take the long view. Focus on steps in the right direction. When you have a realistic perspective of change, you view change more positively than when you don't. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Capricorn

The flaws of others are going to stick out more to you, but you'll have to find ways to accept that a lot of them aren't going away. You might not see why people act a certain way, but getting upset about it isn't going to help. As such, when people around you mess up, you want to focus more on being a stabilizing force and help them to improve. Helping to develop people develops your relationships, whereas turning away from them creates walls.

...Show some Love...
