Daily Horoscope

Capricorn ♑︎*

Ah, Capricorn, the zodiac's most distinguished overachiever, back again for another day of making the rest of us look like we're not trying hard enough. Saturn, your ruling planet of discipline and structure, is perched on your shoulder today like a very strict parrot, reminding you of every deadline, goal, and long-term objective you've set for yourself — all twelve thousand of them. You drew up a five-year plan at age nine and you are absolutely on track.

At work today, you will accomplish more before noon than most people do in a week, and you will feel approximately 4% satisfied about it because there is always more to be done. You'll pass on the office birthday celebration because you have a meeting, you'll eat lunch at your desk because efficiency, and you'll wonder why you feel a little disconnected from your colleagues who are over there having what appears to be fun. Fun. Interesting concept.

In love, your partner is once again staging an intervention about work-life balance, and once again you're adding 'improve work-life balance' to your to-do list in a color-coded planner. The stars are applauding your ambition while simultaneously imploring you to sit down for one meal without checking your phone. Your lucky color is charcoal grey, the color of success, seriousness, and the suit you wore to what was supposed to be a casual dinner. You are magnificent, Capricorn. Now please, for the love of the cosmos, take a day off.

* Void where prohibited by physics.

† Any resemblance to your actual life is statistically inevitable.

all twelve are equally binding, which is to say not at all
