Capricorn

May 2026

This month we have some extra special Moon activity. We have not one but two Full Moons! This is often referred to as ‘once in a Blue Moon’. May kicks off with a Full Moon on May 1st in the sign of Scorpio. Then we finish up May with another Full Moon on the last day of the month on May 31st. And in the middle of May we get a New Moon in Taurus. Lots of Moon energy and this means lots of emotional energy. Capricorn is usually very grounded and down-to-earth but now your emotions may lead you. Not only that, but you have Saturn, Neptune, Mercury and Mars all beginning May in your fourth house. This area of the chart is one that is associated with our inner child and our emotional well-being. 


Mercury begins May in the fourth but will only stay there for the first four days of the month before moving out on the 4th and entering the fifth and the sign of Taurus. Mercury will stay here until the 18th of May. It is a good time to outside and see what the world has to offer. You are ready to go to concerts and plays. Maybe you check out some new movie. A time to visit with friends and find some fun things to do. The fifth house has us looking at love. If you are married or involved, then you want to make time for the two of you to be a couple. Plan something special. If single, then get out of the house and meet new people. This house is very creative. A nice time to sign up for some kind of online class. Maybe take a voice lesson. You do not have to turn pro, to have a good time. The Sun is also here until May 20th and if all that is not enough there is a New Moon on the 16th in the sign of Taurus.


Mars also moves out of Aries and into Taurus on the 19th of May. It will join the crowd in the fifth house. May is a time when things are looking up. Venus has been sitting in your sixth house, helping you with health issues. But now on the 20th, Venus moves into Cancer and your seventh house. Your thoughts are turning to love and romance. The seventh house has us looking for what we want in terms of love. Jupiter is still here and Jupiter and Venus together can have you spending money and flirting up a storm.
