Consider the saying, 'if you can't be them, join them.' You could be enlightened this week about how embracing the spirit of collaboration offers something more worthwhile and inspiring than trying to pursue something solo. You have a chance to share a workload or responsibility this week. You're likely to discover how two heads are better than one and how teamwork makes much lighter work of something you've grown used to undertaking on your own. You might need to share the success, but that will be a small price to pay for being able to relax and feel more in control of an obligation that has controlled you.

Friendships, or one in particular, could require much thought and focus this month. With Venus moving backward in a way that influences your connection with pals and groups, you could end the month feeling very differently toward either or both. For some Capricorns, an issue of trust might be at the root of any discord, or you might feel a friend has overstepped a particular line. For others, reconnecting with a friend from long ago is possible, but there will still be a cloud of seriousness or possibly mistrust hanging over this development. Another possibility surrounds one friendship becoming something deeper, but resist rushing into this. Allow weeks instead of days to help it evolve. This is reinforced by the Full Moon on October 24. You might be glad you waited to allow a special connection to deepen gradually and could end the month on Cloud Nine!
