You're arguably the most ambitious sign of the zodiac. You go far because you're a planner and you face facts.

ALL ABOUT CAPRICORN

The good, the bad and the Capricorns: Capricorns are quite tough. Many other signs are not. Sometimes you upset people with your blunt, 'call a spade a bloody shovel' approach.

Try this, for the good of your soul: For the next 7 days, greet every friend you meet with a kiss and a really warm hug. Encourage them to pour their heart out to you.

How to spot a Capricorn in a crowd: They're on their calculator, figuring out how much the event cost and what the profit margin is.

How to woo a Capricorn: Take them to a museum (they love culture and history). Talk long-term, as soon as you're past the second date. Be serious rather than frivolous.

In matters of the heart and the bedroom: Capricorns are often a slow-burn but once they're into you, they stop with the game-playing and can be yours for life.

2016 OVERVIEW

The most pertinent astro-fact is that you still have the planet of power, aka Pluto, in your sign. So 2016 is about more intensity, more chances to turn your life around, more chances to reinvent yourself.

Your affirmation for the year: I reinvent myself every day

Your motto/motivational quote for the year: "Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." - Lao Tzu

The best time of the year for you to change your life: The first half of 2016. There are some amazing planetary energies around then, peaking first in March and then in June. The sky is the limit for you now. Forget any negativity people have put your way and continue to seek to make your dreams real.

When it comes to love in 2016: If you want to be happy in love this year, control your temper. If you fly off the handle too often, it's damaging to your relationships (this includes professional ones).

Best time of the year for love, romance and relationships: January looks promising. Work on your self-esteem in February. April and May are also potential-packed, especially if you're still interested in someone from you past. June and July are also good times to work on your relationships.

Best time to make money: August heralds the start of a positive money cycle for you. Then September sees lucky Jupiter moving into your Work Zone for the first time in over a decade. This augurs very well for you at work and therefore financially.

Best time to find new work: The Career Gods are smiling at you especially intensely around the time of the New Moon on October 1. Make 10 career-related wishes.

You also need to know that: The one thing which can really get in your way right now, apart from your preponderance to lose your cool, is a temptation to try and control other people. They don't like it and it won't work anyway. Give it up.

Best tips for staying well: October sees sporty Mars back in your sign for the first time in two years. Use his energy to get back into your gym routines or to go running. Speed things up. Boxing is also highly recommended.

Power dates: March 16, April 18, June 30, October 5, December 25.
