Your Venus in Capricorn Horoscope

Love, Money, Creativity...it's ALL here.

     Goodbye, Venus in Sagittarius' reckless splurging and carefree flirting – it's time for a reality check. On Jan. 23, Venus, the planet of love and money, steps into the pragmatic realm of Capricorn, shifting romantic and financial displays from splashy to stable until Feb. 16.

     While on the surface it would seem that Venus in Capricorn is one blah of a planetary transit—because Venus is the planet of love, luxury and pleasure-seeking, and Capricorn is the sign of discipline, limitations and sacrifice—this isn’t the case. In Capricorn, Venus finds the focus to commit to its sensuous desires, to give form to its creative musings, and to save its money. In short, this transit more than any other brings practicality, ambition, and a sense of responsibility in your approach to love, beauty, and money.     

Venus in Capricorn & Money

     Speaking of money, Venus in Capricorn might have a reputation for materialism, but it's more about savvy financial moves than flashy displays. Yes, this planet-and-sign combo loves its fair share of luxury cars, clothes, and accessories—such accouterments feed Venus in Capricorn’s need for tangible emblems of success—but it also loves saving. So, you can forget about the impulse buys so characteristic of Venus in Sagittarius; instead, this transit encourages you to be at once like Miranda Priestly and Scrooge McDuck: stoic and stylishly dressed, making your money work for Y-O-U. Suddenly intrigued by the DOW’s closing numbers and whether you should invest in that Prada handbag? Blame it on Venus in Capricorn's financial savvy and love of status symbols.

Venus in Capricorn & Relationships

     Still, it’s not all money-lusting and elitism. During this transit, your romantic expectations reach for the stars, and crave more practical standards. No more settling for anyone with a pulse—Venus in Capricorn wants someone with ambition, someone with professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to the long-term. If you’re single, you’ll find yourself wanting to mingle with those who tastefully flaunt their ambitions & success; and if you’re in a partnership, you and your beau might pull a Frank & Claire Underwood and strategically plan new goals, and redefine the meaning of success, together. Regardless, wealth, status, and achievement take center stage, equally important, if not more, than fun just for the sake of it. 

Venus in Capricorn for Creativity

     Wait, but about creativity? How does Venus in Capricorn help YOU if you’re an artist, writer or content creator??

     Well, during this transit, the creative mindset is: Quality over Quantity. The emphasis shifts from churning out an abundance of creative work (in a somewhat haphazard and inconsistent way) to crafting pieces of lasting quality. The meticulous nature of Capricorn influences a discerning eye, encouraging you to invest time and energy into fewer, but more impactful, projects. It's a period for refining skills and ensuring that each creative endeavor speaks volumes. Capricorn, being ruled by pragmatic Saturn, believes in combining passion with practicality.

     Venus in this sign encourages you to consider the marketability of your creations without sacrificing personal expression. It's a time to marry artistic passions with a business-minded approach, turning creativity into a sustainable venture. Under the influence of Venus in Capricorn, creative ventures are viewed with a long-term perspective. So, it’s a great time to set realistic goals for your artistic endeavors, whether it's completing a novel, launching a creative business, or mastering a particular medium. This transit prompts a strategic and deliberate approach to creativity, ensuring lasting success.

     Of course, how Venus in Capricorn will bring its practical, sensible sensuality, and creative business savvy to your life depends entirely on your Rising sign.

     So, without further ado:
