Capricorns are usually straight, honest and responsible. They only lie when they are very upset, disturbed or afraid. Your boyfriend must have big problems. I'll let my fellow astrologers say more about these, but, whatever they suggest, I suggest this: leave him. He is about as much use to you as a chocolate teapot. July 27th 2001

Instead of pointing your finger, try to look at what you may learn about yourself. No-one likes being lied to and this unfortunately builds mistrust. It takes courage to own up to mistakes and he obviously does not feel safe to reveal the truth. It's a vicious circle. The horary chart suggests that you'll come apart before you could get together. A heart-to-heart discussion that is absent of blame would help to bring a sense of security whether or not you decide to stick it out. July 27th 2001

With many planets in Capricorn besides the Sun, your boyfriend is capable of making money. He needs more maturity and this will develop with his Saturn return which begins during August. Neptune conjunct Venus in your natal chart makes you unrealistically idealistic in love. The crunch point in this romance came in mid-June with Saturn opposing Venus and Neptune. If you don't feel secure with him soon, you may never be. July 27th 2001

Why do you want MORE predictions? Haven't you read enough already? Beware, please, the notion that anyone can ever tell you exactly what lies in store. Fortune-tellers (like me) read possibilities or, if they are very shrewd, probabilities. But you, always, have the power to choose your own destiny. Lighten up and stop worrying about "personal growth". That's a very dull and intense thing to aspire to! July 27th 2001

What you're describing is a Pluto transit; intense and transformational. Pluto is a very slow-moving planet and would not influence all Virgoans but you happen to have many planets in Virgo, and Pluto appears to affect your chart, at present. You're likely to be naturally self-critical and during this period, this tendency is heightened but I can assure you that your personal growth is not being inhibited. On the contrary, you're learning a great deal about what no longer serves you, for example, a demand for perfection. Letting go of this kind of quality is like a death experience because it is an integral part of you, yet it would be life-changing and incredibly liberating to do so. This phase will pass. By the end of the year, there will be a new you. July 27th 2001

The Sun, Moon and three planets in Virgo in your natal chart makes you analytical and self-critical. With Saturn squaring Neptune, your childhood didn't encourage emotional self-expression even though Mars in Scorpio indicates hidden emotional intensity. Revealing those deep feelings requires lowering yourself to the level of others who you secretly judge for their inconsistency. Saturn, now in Gemini, is bringing your ambitions within reach. Regeneration comes in early 2003 when Uranus in Pisces helps you release mental detachment and embrace the messy but exciting world of romance. July 27th 2001
