Susan Miller's full Capricorn horoscope for August 2018

There were two solar and lunar eclipses in the past month, so July is a period that requires adjustment. The new moon solar eclipse on July 12 is generally friendly and can help you think about business partnerships and romantic relationships.

The second eclipse in July, the full moon lunar eclipse on July 27, marks an end or change in income. You may have just lost a client or source of income, but if that is the case, don't panic because you are also about to gain a new source of income. Later in this forecast I'll explain why I'm optimistic about your financial prospects, but first I have to tell you something else.

You seem to be in a period of transition, from one lifestyle to another, and yet lately you may be finding it difficult to keep things on track. This requires patience, but fortunately, as a Capricorn, you are the most patient of the 12 signs. You tend to have realistic expectations and therefore are doubly patient. I think being pragmatic is one of the keys to happiness.

Of course you should always try new things and aim high. And you do - sometimes it wears on the soul when expectations seem like they will never be fulfilled. And if this happens frequently, if someone always lives by visions, it means that this person does not understand the real world. It is important to set reasonable expectations in life, especially when it comes to the affairs of a large organization. This will allow you to build to the next level because your foundation is so solid.

The planets are in a state of temporary restlessness right now as you cope with a rapidly changing situation. If you proceed slowly, you can slowly make your way through the fog - September is the right time to start new things, both personally and professionally.

At the beginning of August, Mars, the symbol of action, is still in retrograde. Starting on June 26, Mars will begin to slow down and eventually enter hibernation, and it will wake up on August 27. Remember, no planet will fully recover immediately after resuming direct motion. As for the situation of Mars this time, it will take until October 8th for it to fully recover its usual strong posture. But while Mars isn't at his best until October 8th, to be honest - in September he will be strong enough to help you get your business and personal projects off the ground.

Mars rules your home sector, so if you have been looking to relocate, buy a new home, or rent an apartment, things may have been slow going. But delays work to your advantage, so don't try to rush things - just let it happen. If you have been waiting for your mortgage application to be approved and its progress has been stuck. You can call later to see what the banker handling your mortgage says, but it's likely they'll need more documents from you.

If you've already moved, you may have packed boxes that are still unopened. You may have other things to do, so unpacking and organizing your things may not seem like a high priority—and you’re right.

Mars's little brother, the imitative Mercury, is also retrograde. On July 25, one month after Mars went retrograde, Mercury also began to go retrograde. So in August you should not sign any agreements or even make any verbal commitments, including a handshake that would seal the deal. You should back up your computer now, as data loss is more likely when Mercury is retrograde. You also shouldn't buy electronic products such as computers, smartphones, dishwashers, air conditioners, or even cars. If you do this, you may not enjoy the product you buy as much as you thought. Mercury will resume direct motion on August 18, but remember that it will take some time for it to return to full strength - that is, until September 2.

Mercury and Mars orbit very close to Earth, so the retrograde effects of these planets will be more intense. Venus also orbits very close to Earth, so we feel its influence strongly there, too. Venus is currently in direct motion, but will soon go retrograde from October 5 to November 16. Venus rules your tenth house of career, which symbolizes your reputation. So you'll have to push harder in September and get as much done as you can, because by October and November, progress will be at a standstill. For a variety of reasons, your next window of opportunity will come after December 6 (read on, there’s a lot to explain).
