Listen to the advice and experience of others as you contemplate a big purchase or deal. Solidify a relationship, perhaps by planning a wedding. Meeting to discuss business or legal matters may take up your time right now. Be easy on yourself and don't overbook your schedule. Today is a perfect time to visit family. You'll enjoy lucid communication with siblings and neighbors. Anticipate sudden communication via phone or email and even social media along with pings and alerts. Spend time with a woman close to you. Be judicious and look to the future in any personal or business alliance.

Antsy, much? For the coming seven weeks, you’ll find it hard to sit still for long spells or to do anything that feels rote and familiar. As energetic Mars grooves into Virgo and your expansive ninth house until August 6, the time is ripe to travel, explore and fill your head with novel ideas. So do that, Capricorn—and don’t overthink the practicalities of every plan. It’s okay to do things purely for enjoyment, even if the action isn’t tied to any greater ambition or result. Sometimes you have to take that first brave step into the unknown before the path forward reveals itself. Mars only visits this intrepid part of your chart every two years, so carpe diem!
