Capricorn in May 2008

capricorn in may



Hi Cap! How’s Jupiter been treating you lately?

I’m going to get a bit abstract this month, so go ahead and forgive me now. Looking at your solar chart, I’ve been watching an odd situation develop involving Jupiter and Saturn, a situation which will take a new turn in May.

They both do an about-face this month, Jupiter in your sign and Saturn in fellow earth sign Virgo. How is this odd, and how does it involve you?

For some signs, it’s no big deal. For Capricorn, it’s a source of uncomfortable tension. You see, Jupiter and Saturn are just about as opposite in nature as two planets can get, and they’ve been pulling you in opposite directions.

Jupiter expands, proliferates choices and options, widens the scope of possibilities, encourages us to throw caution to the wind and leap into the sheer abundance of unknown potential. No safety nets needed or desired! (Jupiter from Saturn’s point of view: no limits equals no results.)

Saturn contracts, limits choices and options, narrows our focus so that we can actually accomplish something, encourages us to direct our energy toward known paths of success. No risk needed or desired! (Saturn from Jupiter’s point of view: no freedom equals no growth.)

As a Capricorn, Saturn rules your chart (in other words, your life) and exerts his influence over you no matter where he is. Saturn has been retrograde since December of last year, and this influence has been muffled. Meanwhile, Jupiter has been goading you into exploring unfamiliar territory, and without your steady Saturn influence to keep you grounded, you may be out on a few very skinny-seeming limbs right now.

This all changes in May. Saturn will go direct again on the 2nd, and then Jupiter will go retrograde on the 9th. The tables will turn, abruptly.

Interesting, no?

Be aware of overreacting to a sharp inward surge of conservative energy. Even though Jupiter has put you out on those limbs, they may be limbs that are good for you in the long run. It’s his job to expand our horizons, just like it’s Saturn’s job to consolidate our efforts.

Both are necessary. It’s your job to find the happy medium.



Good Things: The pace of your daily life will increase...whether this is a good thing or not is up to you. You’ll be in demand at work, that’s for sure.



Sex Life: Mars will up your sex drive tenfold. Do something about it in the first two weeks of the month...you’ll certainly have the motivation!
