Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

A good house is never REALLY done, and no one knows this better than a project-loving Capricorn. The cosmos summons your interior decorating skills this Wednesday, April 30—which might find you DM-ing a general contractor and ordering fabric swatches and wallpaper samples. The reason for this? Aesthetic Venus is spinning back into Aries for her second tour through your domestic fourth house. The beautifying planet visited this region from February 4 to March 27, which already got the wheels turning. But since that cycled included a frustrating retrograde period (March 1 to April 12), you may not have accomplished anything. As Venus reboots in Aries (now in direct motion, whew!) you start to see your home with fresh eyes. Before you put roller to wall or start ripping up carpet, come up with a game plan (your sign's specialty). Start a mood board, collecting every image that captures your fancy. Then price things out and take measurements. Your vision may be grander than your budget—or your home's footprint—and this is one area where you have to keep it real. It might be worth it, not to mention fun, to scour architectural salvage and consignment shops.

Since Venus is always the love planet, pay special attention to your bedroom. Make sure you symbolically leave space for a partner, including a matching nightstand and room in your closet and dresser. Couples may plunge into some heavy conversations about next steps, like cohabitation, meeting the parents or family planning. For best results, talk these things through in a relaxed and, ideally, luxe, environment. As the pleasure planet, Venus likes to set the mood. It’s always easier to connect when the aura is harmonious. With fantasy-agent Neptune sidling up to Venus this weekend, you could be mapping out your dream home over a lazy brunch.
