Monthly Capricorn Horoscope

August is a powerful month that tells you to "take a deep breath and untangle a knot in your life," Capricorn. This month, in particular, your shared money matters, debts and loans, and a bond that quietly wears you down come to the front. A burden you've been carrying for a long time, or an account that just won't become clear, comes onto your agenda in an obvious way this month. Don't be afraid; this means something that needs to close is closing, and bringing you a much lighter new start.

This month the changes in your life and your deep bonds stand out the most. There's a strong turning point on August 12th; you can make a bold decision and put a relationship or a financial matter onto a brand-new path. No matter what you hide, the truth slowly comes to the surface this month, and that's actually a good thing. Toward the end of the month your close circle, your siblings and your daily communication come up; you'll finally leave a matter behind with peace of mind.

Love and relationships: This month it's impossible to stay on the surface in relationships. A deeper, more honest bond is forming between you and the person you love; maybe you'll finally bring up a matter you've been avoiding for a long time. Around August 12th you may take an important step around trust, loyalty and the life you're building together. If you're single, an intense closeness that truly wraps around you - rather than a casual flirtation - is at the door. At the end of the month a sweet conversation with someone from your close circle warms your heart.

Career and money: On the money side the real theme is shared resources rather than your own salary: debts, loans, taxes, a shared budget or money someone owes you. August 12th opens a door on these matters; you can restructure a payment, close an old account or find unexpected support. Read the fine print of contracts carefully and don't rush to sign. With the right move, this month you can settle onto much more solid financial ground.

Health and energy: Since your emotions are intense this month, most of your tiredness may actually come from within. Instead of bottling up the stress you've gathered, try letting it go; that's what will do you the most good. As a Capricorn, your sensitive spots are your knees, bones and skin; take care not to strain them and to protect them from the cold and from overloading. Regular sleep, plenty of water and short walks keep your energy in balance.

Dates to watch: August 12th - the strongest day of the month; a time for a bold, transformative decision around shared money, a deep bond or a change. August 23rd - after this date your mind clears, and a good period for learning and planning begins. August 28th - an emotional closure; the right moment to leave behind a matter, a resentment or a thought that wears you down.

Advice of the month: This month, draw strength from letting go, not from holding on, Capricorn. Trust that when you set down a burden that wears you out, a much more solid and peaceful beginning will take its place.
