An astrologer named Eleanor says four zodiac signs are entering a period of getting what they want, as Black Moon Lilith moves into Capricorn. She describes the next nine months as a time that will reveal where people have been suppressing their power. According to Eleanor, Lilith in Capricorn will make those affected more at ease with ambition, authority, and pursuing their desires. She says the shift marks an end to shrinking oneself for the benefit of others.

For Libra, the change means no longer meeting people halfway, people-pleasing, or making itself smaller, habits the sign has learned do not produce results. Eleanor says Libra does not owe anyone flirtation in return for being liked, nor does it need to soften a rejection to make the other person feel better. She describes Libra as the prize and says it should not hand that power away just to keep things equal. Venus preparing to go retrograde in Libra at the start of October is framed as only the beginning.

Cancer is told to stop accepting disrespect. Eleanor says the lesson of Lilith in Capricorn is that a person does not have to stop loving someone before leaving them, and can care about that person from a distance. She advises setting boundaries and possibly cutting people out of one's life, even though it is difficult, as a way to protect one's energy. In her view, empathy is not an invitation for someone to keep causing hurt, and self-love includes knowing when to leave.

Fire signs are typically described as impulsive and reactive, but Eleanor says that with Lilith in Capricorn they are becoming more observant, which helps them get what they want. She says they will plot and strategize, stop immediately asking whether they are overreacting, and start noticing what someone did to provoke a reaction. Rather than being ruled by anger, they will work with it, making them harder to provoke and more comfortable letting people believe what they like.

Capricorn, with Lilith in its sign, is told that the time of not getting what it wants is over. Eleanor says Capricorn will succeed whether people like it or not, and that the sign has big dreams and the ability to accomplish them. She says Capricorn does not need to make its desires smaller or pretend to be less capable so others feel important. Some people will become uncomfortable as Capricorn succeeds, and Eleanor's advice is to let them.
