Capricorn, the Earth's teacher, this week the universe requires you to review your ambitious strategy. With the Sun in Scorpio illuminating your house of friends and goals, and the waning Moon in Virgo, your attention should be directed inward: correcting mistakes, reinforcing boundaries and restoring balance. Your 'glider and ambitious' nature will be met with the forced stillness of retrogradations. Mercury retrograde (starting 9/11) slows down agreements in your social sphere, while Jupiter retrograde in Cancer (starting 11/11) forces you to review your beliefs about home, care, and associations. If you've fallen into the shadow of being pessimistic, calculating, or fatalistic, this period is your chance for introspection to reveal hidden talents essential to your success in 2026.

The Council of the Arcane: "Focusing on the body." The Empress, the arcane of abundance and creativity, brings her energy to your ambitious work sphere (house 11). But his advice is unexpected: your success is tied to your physical well-being. Abundance and Nutrition: The retrogradation of Mercury requires the revision of old projects. Instead of forcing, focus on the body; your creativity and productivity will increase if you eat well. A hidden talent can be revealed by giving space to the creation of beauty and pleasure in your work environment. Planning and Practice: Use your 'detailed and planner' nature to correct errors in long-term plans, but do so from a place of enjoyment, not of fatalism. The Empress tells you that abundance will come if you allow yourself to receive it.
The Advice of the Arcane: "Pause." The Hanged Man asks you to stop the action and suspend your usual perspective on your links. Happiness is found in the act of giving up control. Patience Link: Jupiter retrograde in Cancer (couple) forces you to review your agreements. If your calculating side has dominated the relationship, The Hanged Man asks you to pause judgement and see things from the other's perspective. Friendships and Boundaries: Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio can cause misunderstandings with friends or in groups. Avoid pessimism in the face of social delays. If you've been depressed or closed off, the act of pausing allows you to see where you need to reinforce your boundaries with kindness.

The Chariot requires you to take charge of your health, not with rigidity, but with the trust and faith of a champion. Faith and Security: Your tendency to be depressed or pessimistic can undermine your health. The Chariot asks you to feel sure of yourself and to have faith in yourself. The discipline that characterizes you must be aimed at a wellness routine that empowers you, not that punishes you. Control and Determination: The Moon waning in Virgo helps you to be 'pragmatic' with your habits. The Chariot asks you to maintain discipline with the conviction that you are leading your body to victory. The internal review gives you the strenght to move forward.
Capricorn, this week is an exercise of power through non-action, a strategic pause for future success. Retrogradation forces you to review your goals (Mercury R.) and your emotional foundations (Jupiter R.). The warning is key: If you let yourself be carried away by the pessimistic, fatalistic or calculating side, you will interpret the pause as a failure and close yourself to abundance. The hope lies in embracing the pause of The Hanged Man to gain a higher perspective, using the nourishment of The Empress and the faith of The Chariot to prepare your limits and your ambition for the great expansion of 2026.
