Capricorn This Week

Two opposing messages will bombard you this month. One influence will make you work hard to get organized. You'll be busy making To Do lists so that you can be perfect. (Ah yes, that elusive perfection, so seductive and so impossible to achieve.) The other influence makes you want to play hooky and forget work. You want to enjoy vacations, the theatre, the arts, sports events and playful activities with children. And you want to swim in the arms of romance! Quite likely, you will straddle both energies like Jekyll and Hyde. But be aware that retrograde Mercury will create havoc and inefficiencies at work, even though Mars drives you to work hard. It is what it is.
