During the next twelve months, the 'greater benefic' Jupiter, which is your ruling planet, will occupy your own sign and sector of self and how you relate to others, and will go into retrograde (backwards) phase for five months between May and early September. This can assist you in many ways. Firstly it can bring you in touch with the rich and/or famous, and one or more of these people may be able to do enormous favors for you. You may also get itchy feet and want to travel the world. Certainly you should expand your range of interests and experiences during this time as it is a year of learning and changing philosophies and increased optimism. You could also put on weight if you are prone to do so.

During the year 2008, there is strong indication of good opportunity in your professional life. So, you should try to explore those professional opportunities and be focused on your career goal. Though both kind of Capricorns who are businessmen or professionals might get good height in professional life, even then the person related to service class could get better advantage of this year. There will be moderate flow of money. You should be cautious while making any investments in fixed assets during this year. This is not a good year for real estate business. You will not also do well in speculative activity. Financial management will need great care during this year. Your income will grow up but there will be over spending. This year is not very satisfactory for accumulation of wealth.

It's a smooth sailing all the way for the Capricorn people in the year 2008. While Jupiter is moving in the first house of your sign, there would be opportunities for your own personal development. Also at the same time Jupiter's opposition to the house of partnership will help in getting satisfaction if things are going well in your relationship. However if the Capricorn is going through a rough patch in their relationship then Jupiter is only going to stretch it further. Therefore the Capricorn 2008 horoscope suggests that if there are problems in your relationship as the year begins then it is quite probable that the rest of the year are only going to intensify it further.

Since you are the star of the show this year, you should find that home and family life revolves more around your needs. In other words, people will have to fit in with you and not the other way around. Expansion is the name of the game and you could be adding to the home in terms of bricks and mortar (and people) and injecting a sense of adventure into your activities. This is the year to travel to distant places and to experience different cultures any which way you can - learning foreign languages, for instance, or acquiring a taste for the exotic whether in food or lifestyle. Be prepared, however, for journeys to be educational in other ways.

Strain due to over-work and excitability might undermine your health. You are particularly prone to colds, respiratory allergies, and nervous breakdowns. Indulging in gentle yogic exercises, Tai-Chi routines, and deep breathing exercises will be of help to you.

This year, you have bright chances of going on a long journey, especially a foreign trip. However, heavy expenditures involved with this might lead to some amount of tension.

Mars is transiting over the 6th house till 27th of April 2008. It shows you have to put your best efforts. There might be a tough competition. If, you are pre-paring for any interview or entrance exams, success would not be a cup of tea. Keep patience don't take decisions in a hurry. After 28th of April 2008 situation might be in your control. Do not indulge yourself concentration cinema, music or other worldly comforts. Some professional as well as domestic journeys are quite possible.
