Capricorn: Monthly romantic

This month is filled with introspection, starting when pluto, the planet of transformation, begins its retrograde journey in your own sign on the first. As you do a deep dive into your emotional center, you’ll be reevaluating your wants and needs. There’s a lot of healing to be done before trying to move on. A new moon in fellow earth sign virgo on september 2 brings familiar logical energy and encourages you to organize your thoughts and let go of the ones that are holding you back. What are your values and goals in a current or potential relationship, and what are your deal breakers? Be honest about what kind of treatment you will and won’t accept. The virgo sun opposes saturn on the seventh, which can create some emotional distance or a total disconnect between you and a current or potential partner. This can be a very vulnerable time, capricorn, so don’t let self-doubt stand in the way of getting what you want. Clever mercury opposes your wise leader saturn on september 18, which can be a challenging time to try to get your point across. There will be inevitable misunderstandings and mix-ups, but as long as you practice patience and active listening you should be fine. Embrace every chance you get to become a better communicator.
