Capricorn Monthly Shift Scope

May Day, May Day!

May 1 begins with the trapdoors opening to terrains of life previously not known. It's an Aries Moon meeting Jupiter-Mars, for a hit of strong personal drive. But it's a Dark Moon, on the eve of the New Moon Taurus (2/3rd), so you'll want to go into your sacred cave.

In your private shelter, this lightning flashes on possibilities not visible before. Your alertness to these open doors is key to being able to plan to walk through.

Steady Progress

The month's auspicious start, bodes well for the conscientious SeaGoat. The New Moon in earthy Taurus (2/3rd) is fortifying. You feel steady on your feet. You can make deliberate decisions, based on seeing your situation realistically.

Your instinct for realism keeps you from falling into the trap of denial, or not seeing the immediate environment around you. May is ideal for deeply sounding out your surroundings. For taking stock of resources, and making a commitment to making the most of your natural talents.

Venus-ruled Taurus makes this a lunation for beauty, chill time, sensuality and all things natural. It's timely to bring the wild outdoors inside, and spend more hours outside yourself.

Get a massage. If you're one of the Capricorns going through extreme challenges, vow to care for your body, as well as your mind and soul. Be kind to your body with food that's nourishing, and downtime.

Power Day

May 11th is a day to look forward to, with nice harmonies to the earthy flexible Virgo Moon. And there are two aspects to lucky Jupiter (in Aries) -- both Venus and Mercury are exactly aligned to the planet of good fortune!

You can assure that Luck rockets you far, by being preparation waiting for opportunity. Spend your energy on what you sense is your next right thing. Be prepared for surprises - the path forward may not be how you imagined it.

This high-spirited day can boost your confidence, if you've been discouraged lately. Don't let the heaviness that's around eclipse your moment in the Sun. Be open to miracles on this day. And if opportunity knocks, be ready to quickly act on it. Trust your instincts!

Mid-May Deepening

Venus, Mars and Mercury all shift into earthy Taurus at mid month. This is bolstering yet again. It enables you to root in, where you see a place to grow. If you're not at all on fertile ground, like you're surrounded by those who bring you down, now is a time to seek greener pastures.

You make wise moves to settle into situations that are sustaining. This is time for traction, and gaining mastery of skills.

Rock and a Hard Place

Some Caps are feeling picked apart by vultures, seeing everything they've depended on taken away. It's not the end, but the dark night, where you find something beyond these outer possessions, status, even relationships. That you're made of indestructible soul.

If you're in a dark place, look to the imagination. Neptune-Chiron in Pisces are allies to the Capricorn energy (with a sextile). You can combine your ability to bring things into tangible form, with the imagination. It's an excellent time to turn to art or music, as a pathway through.

Venus & Mars

Another high point in May is on the 23rd, when Mars and Venus meet in Taurus. You could see finances turn around here. Or go far with a creative idea, possibly in collaboration. It's timely for establishing a business, or starting a love affair. Whatever is created now feel solid, rooted in the real, organic, sensual.
