Monthly Capricorn Horoscope

General

Your craving for pure fun is lit up by the May 6 New Moon. Find joy in something new and stunning. Some friends may be unimpressed, but they'll be thrilled for you. Do it and see where it takes you! The May 21 Full Moon makes you the power behind the scenes in a social or family situation. You know how to downplay your advantages and get things done your way. You won't need to apply any pressure or persuasion to get what you want. The Jupiter/Saturn square on May 26 is a rare occurrence, giving you extra power and influence. Use them wisely and gently.

Love - Romantic

For Capricorn natives, sometimes love and romance come down to the most practical elements. Your sign needs to feel safe and protected in love, or you find it difficult to flourish. This month begins with a fortunate aspect on the 3rd and 4th, when you'll be feeling very confident about where things are going in the romantic realm. Your partner is going out of his or her way to show you that you're truly loved. By the 9th, romance is taking over in a big way. You only have eyes for each other, whether you're a single Cap native looking for love, or a long-term partner seeking more connection in your union. Singletons especially may find that the 10th and 11th bring extremely good fortune in the dating world, as you find more and more ways to connect with your dates. Things are looking up, and you're attracting the right kind of people. Communication may be a stumbling block for many this month, but since Mercury will be retrograde until the 22nd and a difficult aspect on the 13th brings a million possible ways to mess up, try speaking in person as much as you can. Be clear with your thoughts and loving with your words, and you'll find that you can get through it.

Business - Money

May is for putting redrafts and revisions into action, especially if your ideas are a bit too predictable. Arguments are weak when that happens. Are they what you wanted to say, or did you really discover something new once you began to peel off the layers? The 3rd to 5th represents the opportune time to branch out and take some chances. Yours is a more dramatic part to play. From the 9th to 12th, know who to trust, because information is only as reliable as its source. How right have your sources been lately? An evaluation now saves problems later. From the 16th to the 17th it is time to finish unfinished business (not that you ever have a lot of it). As they say: you can't complete a book without completing each chapter. You must close each in turn and then turn the final page. May 24th is your lucky day. Ask for favors. If job-hunting, seek opportunities and send out resumes. Progress slows on the 26th through the end of the month. You still make strides; it just takes more time than usual for you. Be prepared for a few hidden agendas next month. The real reason for the action is for their gain.
