The problem is certainly not your Capricorn stars. Nine out of ten Capricorns are feeling very efficient and confident. But when there are powerful influences on your birth chart, you become 'excused from the class of your zodiac sign' for a while. The team will look at your full chart. But first, are you sure your heart is still in the subject you are studying? June 15th 2001

I can't say that being in a fog is due to your Capricorn stars. Like the mountain goat, Capricorns are good at pacing themselves until they reach their peak. Somewhere inside, you have this ability.

Your moon in Scorpio also shows determination. Your directed chart shows that you are on the brink of achievement but there are distractions. To re-energise, you should examine closely what other things or relationships could be diverting your attention. This process should help you see clearly through the distractions. Then set a deadline for a portion of your work and resolve to meet it.

There is currently a crescendo of energy-dispersal and mental fuzziness. The weeks-old Gemini-Sagittarius battle is now being joined by the Moon in Pisces just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. You could use some cooling yin energy. That will come on June 21, Solstice Day, when the Sun moves into Cancer.

Before then, though, over the next four days, things get progressively better, as backward-moving Mercury makes mind-strengthening links with several planets, enabling your mental wheels to whirr again. June 15th 2001

He's a 'stop-and-think-about-it-Libran', you're a 'let's-do-it-now Aries. These 'opposite signs' either attract or repel strongly. Sometimes, they do both. Try relationship counselling. Even if there is no way to work things out, the counsellor should help you both find the best way to split up! June 15th 2001

You need to work on you. Internal change is going on and no amount of shifting of external circumstances will give you genuine fulfilment. You're not alone. Many people born in 1961 are now going through a similar phase.

It has to do with a 'half-Uranus return', a time to question where you stand. This is an opportunity to make sense of your life. There are no quick fixes. By January, you will feel more settled, but in the meantime, you must take practical steps to get yourself off the ground.

Talk to a counsellor or group experienced in guiding people to finding themselves. It should help to reflect yourself through others so that you can get to know yourself again. Then the outer changes will naturally occur. June 15th 2001

Having met Saturn and then Pluto over the past few years, you are now experiencing the quickening energy of Uranus. Translation: you met the darker side of life in 1998; nailed your life down securely in 1999; now your inner child is bursting to get out. You have to stew while your ruler Mars remains in reverse gear.

But after July 19 the way forward will be to reinvent yourself as a woman of passion and enterprise. June 15th 2001
