Capricorn Horoscope May 2022

Jupiter On The Move

The big news this month is the planet of luck and opportunity Jupiter changing star sign. Jupiter takes approximately one year to move through each sign of the zodiac.

Since May 2021, Jupiter has been in Pisces on and off, the star sign which rules communication in your horoscope. If you’ve made significant progress with the way you communicate on- or off-line, you’ve been in tune with Jupiter’s expansive nature.

Jupiter rules travel and education too and it’s about reaching out on a global level, gathering new information and learning from other people. Jupiter leaves Pisces this month on the 11th but, before it does so, it makes a major planetary aspect to Pluto in your star sign Capricorn on the 3rd.

You might be able to take advantage of what you’ve discovered or found out over the past year. Or, perhaps you’re ready to present, share or communicate your ideas with others.

This combination of Jupiter & Pluto could be transformative on a personal level or help you step up and take on a more powerful role or position. Be an influencer and help transform other peoples’ lives.

Jupiter’s move into Aries on the 11th turns the spotlight towards your home and family, your past and your roots. Jupiter remains in this sector of your horoscope until May 2023, except for a short break in the last two months of 2022. 

When Jupiter’s in Aries, this is a classic time to move home or expand where you live. With Jupiter’s foreign theme, you may be planning a move abroad or a get-together with family who live around the world or in different parts of the country.

A big family celebration is well-starred with Jupiter in Aries and it’s the perfect time to catch up with people from your past, to remember your roots and where you come from. It could be a time when you’re expanding your family whether this involves your children, an adoption, the addition of a step family or living within a community. Alternatively, you’re opening your doors to people in need.

There are a couple of dates this month which offer you a glimpse into what this new planetary transit might mean for you. There’s a Moon/Jupiter conjunction in Aries on the 25th followed by a powerfully energetic Mars/Jupiter conjunction on the 29th. These dates could coincide with a big event as you put extra energy and drive into home and family affairs.

Jupiter works in synchronous ways so it’s important that you put yourself in its path. Say yes to a new opportunity that opens up as Jupiter begins its new journey through a new star sign.

Mercury Retrograde

There is a proviso, however, as any journey is likely to take you on an unexpected detour from mid-month onwards. This is because of what’s happening with the planet of communication Mercury. The day before Jupiter enters Aries, Mercury turns retrograde on the 10th and remains on go slow until June 3rd.

Therefore, take your time and don’t expect everything to fall into your lap overnight. The best way to use Mercury retrograde is to turn inwards and heed the lessons that Mercury brings.

You may have to be extra patient around work, your children or your health. Or, perhaps, someone goes quiet on you and you’re playing a waiting game. 

Talk planet Mercury turns retrograde in Gemini and a practical sector of your horoscope. This indicates that you’re wise to renegotiate work matters once Mercury is in retreat. Alternatively, crack on with a job application or health appointment before Mercury switches direction on the 10th.

Then, once Mercury’s in retreat, you’re wise to follow things up and double-check important correspondence, appointments or meetings.

What Mercury retrograde is good for is going with the flow and adopting a slower pace. Sometimes, there’s a theme of second chances and trying again if things didn’t work out in the past, especially linked to your work, your lifestyle or health. 

You could go back to an old job and it’s an excellent time to rework and revise your plans. Be kind to yourself too and do whatever’s necessary to lower your stress levels. There may be a chance to work from home or get help from family between the 20th to the 23rd.

Lunar Eclipse

The Sun is in Taurus until the 21st. Taurus represents the sector of your horoscope that’s about play, fun and where you find enjoyment in life. This is where the eclipses are kicking in this month.

There was a Solar or New Moon eclipse in Taurus on April 30th and this month there’s a Lunar or Full Moon eclipse on the 16th cutting across the Taurus/Scorpio axis of the zodiac.

This is the social sector of your horoscope linked to friends and group activities, society & politics, also children, creativity & lovers. This is part of an eclipse cycle that began in November 2021 and completes in October 2023.

Eclipses have a theme of bringing what’s hidden to light. Sometimes, they coincide with the unexpected and a Lunar Eclipse can be emotional or dramatic.

You could have a major fall-out with someone close over money. Or, feel outraged about what’s happening within the world. It might be personal, it might be linked to the collective.

Either way, know that this is a powerful eclipse and you may feel torn between opposing needs, wants or views. Dig deep during eclipse season and be there for the ones you love.
