Georgia Nicols' Capricorn Forecast for 2006

"With great power there must also come -- great responsibility!"
Peter Parker (Spiderman)

The Year 2006

In 2006, Saturn is in Leo for the entire year for the first time since 1977. (Many will see a correlation.) This will give enduring form to creative expression! (The movie Star Wars, which opened in 1977 has become part of our culture's artistic icons.)

Saturn will encourage a concrete expression of theatre and the arts at both personal and civic levels. It will also encourage a stricter more traditional methodology in schools.

Jupiter's passage through Scorpio will alter how we deal with death. In the 50s, we built schools and playgrounds for the Baby Boomers. This year we will lay the groundwork to help them die with dignity and loving support. (Death will be a big business by 2013-14.)

In many ways, new opportunities will arise out of situations of loss. "May the Force be with you."

The Envelope Please...

You take your responsibilities seriously. You value home and family, and you honour your commitments. Security is important to you. You work hard, and you want respect for your efforts. You're goal oriented. You intend to get to the top of your field. Sure, you like status. It's a way of keeping score! (You can spot a Louis Vuitton at ten paces.) You accept duty and discipline and often work under tough conditions. "It's character building." No pain, no gain. You put all your eggs in one basket, then you watch the basket. You always clean up before company arrives. You're a realist. You think starving artist is a hyphenated word. Work first -- then pleasure, that's your motto. You crave intimacy but fear rejection. Because of this, you think before you speak or act.

Your Shady Past

Life was pretty sweet in 1981-83. You did yourself proud then. However, you gave up a lot about seven years later. (Places, people and possessions.) By 1989, it was a new game for you; and you probably got some new duds for your new gig. (Appearances are everything, remember?) In 1994-95, you were on the move again changing jobs or residences; and by 1996-97, you worked hard to secure the home you wanted. After the millennium, you worked even harder! In 2003-04, some well-deserved recognition came your way; but partnerships suffered. You hate messy split ups. You intend to mate for life. (Good for the family; keep the wealth intact.) You like marriage, a house, a white picket fence and 2.5 kids.

Which brings us to 2006

Recently some of you had to make do with less. Since 2004, partnerships or your partner brought less to the table. Naturally, you picked up the slack. You always do; you always will. Fortunately, wonderful career opportunities came your way last year. They might have involved increase travel or work with medicine, the law, foreign countries, publishing and the media. One thing is absolutely certain: this year is going to be a popular one for you! Buy the kind of clothes you want to socialize in. What should you wear to a club meeting, a barbecue, a cruise, a dance, a ski weekend? You like to fit in. (But with class.) Fortunately, you choose classic clothing that lasts. (Capricorns have taste.) Support from partners is still lagging this year. That's OK. You're a patient sign.

Is the future like the present only longer?

You can look forward to 2008 for several reasons. For starters, the obstacles to the support you lost through the wealth of others are now removed. The brakes are off! This means wealth, resources, favours and bonuses once again come your way through partnerships (intimate for professional.) Yay! Increased travel is also likely in 2008, along with increased training and education for some of you. (Some will actually go back to school.) Another wonderful blessing comes along in 2008: lucky Jupiter enters your sign then. This magnetizes all kinds of powerful people and opportunities to you. It's a lucky cycle that occurs once every 12 years. Yay again! But the final thing that will really please you is that around 2008-09, you will clearly see what you want to achieve. This is so important for you.

In a galaxy far far away...

Your time of honour, achievement and harvest will arrive around 2010. Those of you who went back to school will graduate. Others will receive recognition and accolades for all the hard work since 2003, and perhaps even since 1996. Increased earnings in 2009 bring you a happier state of mind by 2010 as well. And in 2011, your home life, your real estate, your family will be the source of much joy and rewards. (Sounds good to me!)

My Mantra for 2006

When I chop my own wood, it warms me twice.

Be the best you can be

Saturn is your ruler. Saturn rules all pyramid structures: the government, corporations, the military, and the law courts. More than any other sign, you understand power, status and responsibility. You know how the system works! Furthermore, you understand self-reliance and the notion that the buck stops here. All of these areas depend on respect, reputation and a reverence for a proven track record. Nothing succeeds like success; and success is not an overnight phenomena. It's the result of steady, hard work that builds towards a goal step by step. Little tiny drips eventually feel a pail. You know how to teach the world this work ethic. You show others the value of a respected reputation. You demonstrate a need for protocol, procedure and doing something right. Without your Capricorn role model, the rest of us are adrift lacking structure and form. The protocol and self-discipline that you role model, are how big things get done in the world!

Stuff Every Self-respecting Capricorn Knows

You are Capricorn the Goat. Your element is Earth and your ruling planet is Saturn. You are a Feminine Cardinal sign. (The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. They're the signs of the changing seasons - the switch hitters. They initiate things and act on their ideas. They make things happen. "Let's have a graduation party!") Your sign rules the Knees, Tendons, Ligaments and Joints. And your ruler Saturn rules the Skin, Nails, Teeth and Bones. (Saturn is long lasting!) Capricorn rules the 10th House of every chart; the House that governs Reputation, Status, Authority, Achievements and Public Life. (What was that? You say you've always had a sense of destiny?)

Capricorn in the Bedroom

You're navy blue, pinstriped, wing-tipped, three-piece, demure and oh so proper. (You've got the world fooled.) It's true that initially you're cautious. But you're a sexy combination of reserve and lust. (It can be exciting for your partner who's not quite sure just who's out tonight?) You're a Ferrari. Once you step on the gas you go from zero to 80 in 7 seconds. You're like tinder! But you don't want scandal. In this respect, you're careful. You like ritual and comfort. Frequently! Power and dominance intrigue you. (I guess all those boardroom meetings influence your bedroom meetings!) You can be energetic (shall we say?) and in the next breath discuss painting, books, music and politics. The back of your knees are seeeensual. Expensive gifts get your attention.
