Happy May, Capricorn. This month brings strategic gifts from your ruling planet, Saturn, helping you get ahead professionally (you love to hear it). But the stars also ask you to slow down, spend time with friends, and treat yourself to some beauty routines in time for the approaching summer months. During April, Mercury retrograde may have slowed you down, but that’s gone and done. Overall, May is a pretty chill month cosmically, so let’s get to it.
The month begins with Pluto, the goth planet of death and rebirth, starting its retrograde journey in independent Aquarius on Thursday, May 2. This transit impacts your 2nd House of Possessions, prompting a reevaluation of your financial strategies and your relationship with money. You probably know by now that the stars can’t guarantee money, but yes, this could mean abundance, Capricorn. You may also find yourself more inclined to develop a sustainable budget or rethink what true wealth means to you. It’s a good time to consider what you value most in life, even beyond the material.
On Tuesday, May 7, the dark new moon in luxurious Taurus brings pleasurable beginnings your way. This is an exciting time for exploring new romantic prospects or deepening existing relationships. This Venus-fueled energy of Taurus encourages you to indulge in life’s sensual pleasures, whether that’s through partnered hot sex or solo sex toys. If you’re not so into hooking up, it’s also a good day for a manicure or a massage.
Ceres, the nurturing mother asteroid, begins its retrograde in your sign, Capricorn, on Tuesday, May 14. This celestial movement suggests a significant revamp in how you present yourself to the world. Your public image may undergo some changes. Enjoy watching your reputation reflect more deeply the internal growth you’ve been experiencing. Clients, colleagues, bandmates, or bosses should develop (even more) respect for you.
The day after Ceres starts her retrograde, chatty Mercury enters sensual Taurus on Wednesday, May 15, helping you talk about pleasure, what you want, and what you don’t want. This transition helps you settle into any recent changes in your personal life concerning intimacy and relationships. Reiterating the cosmic encouragement to enjoy some beauty rituals as summer approaches, this is also a perfect time to indulge in self-care activities, like enjoying a spa day or treating yourself to luxury skin-care products.
