Astrologers love calling you the workaholic of the zodiac. Is this true for you, dear sea goat? Whether or not it is, this full moon is in the sign of balance, and it’s a wonderful opportunity for you to find better balance between your public and personal lives.

Good luck this month, Capricorn, and see you in April!
