Capricorn Couples Horoscope

Communication issues are important this year, Capricorn. Having serious, sometimes difficult conversations about stressful topics in a relationship is never easy, but this year you can handle those “we need to talk” conversations with a dedicated, determined attitude. When one of you has something important you want to discuss with the other, make some time in your day to shut out distractions and address it fully. Being more sympathetic and compassionate to what your partner is going through—and vice versa—really helps improve the way you communicate with each other.

Communication issues will inevitably be tested by this year’s Mercury retrograde periods (April 1–25 in Aries, August 4–28 in Leo and Virgo, and November 25–December 15 in Sagittarius). While fiery drama and misunderstandings are direct results of impromptu decisions and threaten to stand in the way of healthy communication this year, you don’t have to let them. Rely on your naturally earthy personality to remain calm so that you can use your relationship as a source of strength, not stress, during these tough Mercury retrograde cycles.

Trust issues can become a problem when the sun moves through penetrating Scorpio from late October to late November, and suspicions start to develop when your partner strays even the smallest bit from their regular routine. You’re keenly observant now, so it won’t be that difficult to gather information to support your skepticism. It would be nice to trust bae 100 percent, but there’s nothing wrong with taking steps to verify their words and actions. If you’re wrong, apologize. But if you’re right, you’re vindicated.
