You have just come through a very rough two years. Three powerful long-term planets were arrayed against you and there were times when 60 per cent (and sometimes 70 per cent) of the planets were in stressful alignment. Your mettle was tested. You were pushed to the limit. Not everyone came through this, but if you're reading this you did. Give yourself a pat on the back. This was an achievement.

Much of the stress came from instability within the family. There were many dramatic events in the lives of family members. The family unit could have broken up, or come near breaking up; even now it is held together with 'string and chewing gum' - very tenuous and delicate bonds.

Much stress came, curiously, from your success. In many cases, Capricorn, you were at the pinnacle of achievement, so you stood out like a target. The person on top is always the natural target. You had to deal with a lot of flak from underlings and competitors. Being on top is not all that it's made out to be. Not being on top has its challenges, but being on top has perhaps greater challenges. Every decision was scrutinized and criticized. In many cases, you were on top, but you aspired to be and this created tensions. You had to be reminded, sometimes dramatically, of your true status. Health could have suffered these past two years. Happily, this area is much improved. If you have had health problems you should be hearing good news about it.

You are in process of reinventing yourself, giving birth to the 'you' that you really want to be. This trend is continuing this year and for many more years.

Your most important interests in the year ahead are the body, the image and personal pleasure; communication and intellectual interests; home and family; health and work (until June 27); love and romance (from June 27 onwards); friends, groups, group activities and organizations.

Your paths of greatest fulfillment this year are health and work (until June 27); love and romance (after June 27); and friends, groups, group activities and organizations.
