Overview for this Month: Capricorn (All)
May 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
The sector of your chart that rules self-expression, creativity, romance, entertainment, and pleasure receives special attention this month, dear Capricorn. You begin the month just after a Solar Eclipse occurred there, inspiring new beginnings and fresh starts in these areas of life. You're seeking more meaningful and fulfilling endeavors. Especially as the month advances, a quiet, comfortable theme emerges, and you take more time and spend more energy and attention on your personal life.
Jupiter harmonizes with Pluto in your sign this month, bringing meaningful opportunities your way, particularly for sharing your ideas, learning, or guiding. It's a fine time to put out a positive message or do some marketing or promotion. Communications and studies are areas where you excel. Fortunately, your personality comes through beautifully in whatever personal interest or project you're involved with now. It's a potentially brilliant period for using your personal influence and the power of thoughts and words to transform your life for the better.
You may be pushing forward a hobby, romance, or creative pursuit. It's a strong time for new beginnings or fresh starts. You impress others, and there are easy, flowing influences that highlight your natural charm and encourage self-expression. You can find a lot to enjoy with your studies, personal interests, and conversations. You are motivated and engaged, and you're also communicating in engaging, enthusiastic ways. It's a strong time for creative writing and expressing your ideas and affections. You are interested in triumphing, bringing something to a new level, or taking the lead. There is more courage at your disposal, so use it well!
Venus, Jupiter, and Mars head into your home and family sector on the 2nd, 10th, and 24th, boosting and animating your emotional life, inner world, and domestic pursuits as May advances. You're seeking more spirit, warmth, beauty, and enjoyment in your personal life. In fact, you're actively creating this atmosphere, and it feels good to do so. You desire positive change in your personal life, and you're motivated to make life more comfortable or beautiful.
In fact, a major headline of the month is Jupiter's move into your solar fourth house. During this longer-term cycle, you can experience some nice upgrades and enhancements to your home, family, and personal life. This transit will develop further in 2023, but it all gets started now (from May 10-October 28). It's a great time to improve bonds with loved ones and enhance or expand the home. Living arrangements and conditions are likely to improve.
With Mercury retrograde from May 10-June 3, you may be returning to old problems or reviewing recent decisions. Misunderstandings and delays are possible, but you also get the chance to see new layers to a situation.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th can bring feelings for a friend to bloom and perhaps some drama to your social life. You might also come to powerful realizations about long-term happiness goals. Events occurring now tend to push you in the right direction, along a more authentic path. You need this background to make meaningful choices later, but consider that it's best to sit with your feelings for a while to get to that point.
The Sun moves into your work and health sector on the 20th, turning your attention to the important systems in your life, your daily routines, work, and personal well-being. New information or insight surfaces that can open doors for you with work or wellness matters. You're beginning to see old routines, work projects, and ventures in a new light. While it's not yet the time for new launches (you might wait until after Mercury ends its retrograde on June 3rd), it can be a turning point of sorts with thinking on these matters, putting you on the path towards increased clarity.
You fill with enthusiasm on the 28-29, and there can be a sudden desire to make a change. Home, security, and family can be your biggest motivators or the areas you want to improve. You can experience more inner courage and stronger resolve, getting you over an emotional hurdle. Ideas for having fun and making your accommodations more livable are abundant. You may want to pioneer a new venture or move towards growing, building, or expanding a current one.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
May 2022 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From May 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Eclipse
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on May 16th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar eleventh house. Surprises surrounding long-term goals, friendships, and group affiliations may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests a friendship, a culmination or fruition of a casual relationship, you could be called upon to perform a humanitarian gesture, a friend may experience a little crisis and ask for your help, you could suddenly find yourself around many people, perhaps after a period of relative solitude or private time, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
From May 2-27:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
From May 28th:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 21st:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
Occurring in your solar fifth and sixth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to romance, children, creativity, work, and daily routines. Be as non- judgmental as you can with co-workers, romantic partners, and your children. Re- thinking the suitability of your job and/or romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you. Double-check your work. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, professors, lawyers, romantic partners, and children, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until May 24th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From May 24th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
May 2022 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until May 11th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

Capricorn (Born January 11 to 20) and Capricorn Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Capricorn:
May 2022 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2022
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 10th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From May 20th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from May 10th to June 3rd:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications regarding travels, legal matters, or opinions, as well as communications on the job and with co-workers, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It's best not to sign on the dotted line for the time being, especially when it comes to making travel plans or any legal contracts. There could be irritating mess-ups on the job. You might be inclined to miss important details in your paperwork, or might experience frustrating delays that result from co-workers' errors. Travel plans may go awry, or you may have a change of heart.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From the 11th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Overview Horoscope:
May 2022 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
The sector of your chart that rules self-expression, creativity, romance, entertainment, and pleasure receives special attention this month, dear Capricorn. You begin the month just after a Solar Eclipse occurred there, inspiring new beginnings and fresh starts in these areas of life. You're seeking more meaningful and fulfilling endeavors. Especially as the month advances, a quiet, comfortable theme emerges, and you take more time and spend more energy and attention on your personal life.
Jupiter harmonizes with Pluto in your sign this month, bringing meaningful opportunities your way, particularly for sharing your ideas, learning, or guiding. It's a fine time to put out a positive message or do some marketing or promotion. Communications and studies are areas where you excel. Fortunately, your personality comes through beautifully in whatever personal interest or project you're involved with now. It's a potentially brilliant period for using your personal influence and the power of thoughts and words to transform your life for the better.
You may be pushing forward a hobby, romance, or creative pursuit. It's a strong time for new beginnings or fresh starts. You impress others, and there are easy, flowing influences that highlight your natural charm and encourage self-expression. You can find a lot to enjoy with your studies, personal interests, and conversations. You are motivated and engaged, and you're also communicating in engaging, enthusiastic ways. It's a strong time for creative writing and expressing your ideas and affections. You are interested in triumphing, bringing something to a new level, or taking the lead. There is more courage at your disposal, so use it well!
Venus, Jupiter, and Mars head into your home and family sector on the 2nd, 10th, and 24th, boosting and animating your emotional life, inner world, and domestic pursuits as May advances. You're seeking more spirit, warmth, beauty, and enjoyment in your personal life. In fact, you're actively creating this atmosphere, and it feels good to do so. You desire positive change in your personal life, and you're motivated to make life more comfortable or beautiful.
In fact, a major headline of the month is Jupiter's move into your solar fourth house. During this longer-term cycle, you can experience some nice upgrades and enhancements to your home, family, and personal life. This transit will develop further in 2023, but it all gets started now (from May 10-October 28). It's a great time to improve bonds with loved ones and enhance or expand the home. Living arrangements and conditions are likely to improve.
With Mercury retrograde from May 10-June 3, you may be returning to old problems or reviewing recent decisions. Misunderstandings and delays are possible, but you also get the chance to see new layers to a situation.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th can bring feelings for a friend to bloom and perhaps some drama to your social life. You might also come to powerful realizations about long-term happiness goals. Events occurring now tend to push you in the right direction, along a more authentic path. You need this background to make meaningful choices later, but consider that it's best to sit with your feelings for a while to get to that point.
The Sun moves into your work and health sector on the 20th, turning your attention to the important systems in your life, your daily routines, work, and personal well-being. New information or insight surfaces that can open doors for you with work or wellness matters. You're beginning to see old routines, work projects, and ventures in a new light. While it's not yet the time for new launches (you might wait until after Mercury ends its retrograde on June 3rd), it can be a turning point of sorts with thinking on these matters, putting you on the path towards increased clarity.
You fill with enthusiasm on the 28-29, and there can be a sudden desire to make a change. Home, security, and family can be your biggest motivators or the areas you want to improve. You can experience more inner courage and stronger resolve, getting you over an emotional hurdle. Ideas for having fun and making your accommodations more livable are abundant. You may want to pioneer a new venture or move towards growing, building, or expanding a current one.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decan regardless of your birthdate.
