Mars, the planet of gumption and drive, enters Capricorn on Feb. 16. Mars is exalted in Capricorn because it combines discipline with drive. You don’t just reach out and grab anything in sight. You put in the time and effort to master the things that lie beyond reach. And you’ll do this over and over again while this planet is summitting in your horoscope. Now most people wouldn’t take the kind of punishment Mars dishes out or make the heavy sacrifices that will be required, but you will if it means climbing even higher in your career. The downside to Mars in Capricorn is that it’s ruthlessly competitive. Sabotaging a rival’s efforts or tossing an opponent over the side isn’t something you’ll shy away from, however it would be wise to put the brakes on your more cutthroat impulses because they’ll only come back to haunt you. Channel this Mars energy into giving it your personal best and you’ll go far. Mars will be in Capricorn from Feb. 16 to March 30.
