Capricorn 2013 Forecast Overview
This year will see Capricorns developing a lighter approach, worrying less, and diversifying, working on enjoying life more despite any pressing responsibilities or issues. Leisure pursuits and occasions to socialize will be higher on the agenda, which in itself is unusual for most Capricorns.

Increasing knowledge and skills will also be at the top of your list of priorities. Though your career or business will continue to be important, your interest in connecting with the simple things of life, nature and “stopping to smell the roses”, will become equally significant. Capricorns will be reviewing the pace of modern life, looking for ways to reduce stress levels, searching for ways to de-clutter life, deciding on what is truly important, and focussing on methods and attitudes that promote tranquility. Attention is also likely to turn to activities that assist others, contributing to the greater good.

2013 provides a range of opportunities, though some options will appear only briefly before they disappear, so be observant and quick, in order to take advantage of the possibilities that present themselves during the year.

Increasing harmony with a current partner is possible this year through greater compromise and respect, and spending more quality time together.
