In tense conversations or dealing with financial competition or romantic adversaries - retreat is often an excellent idea! Try to follow all rules, regulations - and even speed limits whenever possible! Capricorn also rules the bones - more specifically the knees and ankles - as well as the teeth. If you have has issues with these focal points in the body, you may find yourself back at the chiropractor or dentists office!

Courage and bravery will infuse each of us in different ways. Purr or roar in this cycle! You choose! The dramatic arts and appreciation and decoration of heroes in all walks of life are seen! Be sure to demonstrate your love and loyalty in this rare cycle! Remember that the sign of the Lion can also be proud, arrogant and ferocious! Know when to pounce and when to pull your claws back in! Throughout this amazing cycle, Mars will be in and out of its shadow and you will witness much passive-aggressive behavior in your dealings with others.
