Capricorn Love Horoscope for 2008

The personal growth spurred by expansive Jupiter's passage through your sign is bound to alter your relationships this year. Cautious and caring Cancer in your 7th House of Partnerships tends to make you particularly protective of your spouse. Nurturing others can be such a priority that you unconsciously conceal your needs to maintain the status quo. However, the magnifying power of Jupiter in your 1st House of Self is reflected through its opposite, the 7th House. Just as you expect and need more for yourself now, your requirements for romantic and emotional fulfillment are increasing, too. Pressure on a current relationship will force it to grow or, perhaps, begin to unravel. If you bury your feelings in an attempt to avoid complications, the long-term costs of distrust and disappointment may be greater than whatever price you pay right now. A Solar Eclipse in dramatic Leo on August 1 occurs in your 8th House of Intimacy, where it initiates changes in how you connect on the deepest levels. Open your heart to take more risks by expressing your desires. Don't let pride stop you from taking this significant step toward a more satisfying relationship.
