Happy May, darling Capricorn. At the end of last month, when transformative Pluto went retrograde in your sign, you turned inward, aware that happiness comes from within. Rather than looking to others to bring you joy, you began to focus on how you can curate inner calm, which is no easy task for a hard-working Cap like yourself. When Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance, enters brave Aries on Monday, May 2, you may find that lowering stress levels pays off. This transit brings professional blessings, so don't be surprised to receive praise for your work or feel ready to take on bigger projects which propel you into the spotlight.

On Tuesday, May 10, Mercury goes retrograde in its home sign of Gemini. Now, Mercury retrogrades happen too frequently for you to put your entire life on hold, especially if exciting professional opportunities come your way. Just remember to read the fine print, and if you have to sign any important contracts, consider having legal help look it over. And, as always, prepare for delays while the communication planet does its backward spin. 

May brings a full moon and lunar eclipse in paranoid Scorpio, potentially causing even more communication mishaps than Mercury retrograde. 

Now, here's some news that every Capricorn wants to hear. May is rich with professional blessings. When Jupiter, a planet known for being lucky, moves into determined Aries and your 10th House of Social Status on Tuesday, May 10, even more opportunities to step into the spotlight arise. Now, no astrologer can promise money in this economy. But over the next few weeks, pay attention to the opportunities that come your way. Keep your eyes peeled to ensure that you don't miss out on anything. Continue to work on lowering your stress levels, which will help your mind focus on what's important. 

Sunday, May 15, brings a full moon and lunar eclipse in paranoid Scorpio, potentially causing even more communication mishaps than Mercury retrograde. Eclipses are known for bringing swift and sudden endings, and this one falls in your 3rd House of Communication. Sometimes, especially when under stress, you can say things that you regret later, Capricorn. Avoid hurting a loved one's feelings by taking it easy this weekend and carving out some alone time. It's hard to pull a Capricorn away from work, but consider working on a hobby or catching up on sleep, as this is sure to be a dramatic weekend. 

Exploring fantasies with a partner is a wonderful way to grow closer, and even the wildest sex can count as lovemaking. 

When social Gemini season begins on Friday, May 20, your primary focus shifts from work to sex, you devilish Capricorn. Of course, you can do both, but the next few weeks encourage you to go ahead and act out a kink, either alone through fantasy and a sex toy or with a trusted partner. Then, when Mars, the planet of f*cking and fighting, enters Aries on Tuesday, May 24, you feel more confident and like yourself. Remember, Capricorn, any desire, from role-playing to a foot fetish, is normal and healthy when done between consenting adults.

When the lover planet Venus enters its home sign of Taurus on Saturday, May 28, you find yourself craving intimacy, in addition to hot sex. Remember, Capricorn, the two are not exclusive. Exploring fantasies with a partner is a wonderful way to grow closer, and even the wildest sex can count as lovemaking. Use the new moon in Gemini on Monday, May 30 to lean into your sensual side, whether that means giving your lover a massage or treating yourself to one. Enjoy, and see you next month!
