Capricorn Monthly Stars by Yasmin Boland: May 2013

Important news for all the signs…

There’s a New Moon eclipse AND a Full Moon eclipse this month so mark May down in your diary as very powerful! The New Moon eclipse is in the sign of Taurus, which is the sign related to – among other things; the planet of love and riches. Meanwhile the Full Moon eclipse is in the sign of Sagittarius.

One thing we can say about May is that thanks to the eclipses, it’s very much a month where we can turn our finances around. Of course, the world economies have been very much up against it in the past few years. Can the eclipse change things? Well, yes and no. yes if we all change. No if we all remain in a state of fear when it comes to our thoughts about cash. So how are you when it comes to money? Do you believe there is plenty out there or are you holding your breath for the fall of Wall St and a triple dip recession so you can say “I told you so!” Do you feel trapped when it comes to cash or do you believe that money is energy and flow abundantly to those who welcome it without fear? Use the eclipse this month to work out your thoughts re money and to work through any financial fears you have. If you grew up in a home where you were always reminded that money doesn’t grow on trees, you need to reprogram your thoughts. OK so money doesn’t actually grow on trees but it’s not THAT hard to earn it. Focus on the idea that the money which flows to you is a physical rewards for your efforts.

This is a potentially break through month. We also have the latest of the clangings on the heavenly bells, Uranus clashing with Pluto. This is the cosmic configuration which is reminding us that change is inevitable and we have to move with the times. If you are scared of changing, you are holding yourself back. If you are allowing your life to evolve, you are well and truly on the right track!

For your eyes only…

This is a potentially amazing if slightly stressful month. The planet of chaos is serving up mayhem to Pluto, the eruptive planet in your sign. So life could feel a bit like things are falling down around your ears. But never fear! Anything which goes out of your life now has "Not Meant To Be" stamped all over it – better lies ahead.

As the Full Moon eclipse takes place in your 11th house, it's time to look at the things you've been hoping and wishing for. Either it's going to become clear how you can make it happen or it might be about to become clear that it's a pipedream you'd do best to move on from. As well, while the past few months have almost certainly been about you, the fun you can have, your romantic life, your self-expression, a child you've been indulging and/or a creative project you've had on the boil - but the skies now suggest that you think less about that and more about if you are carrying your weight where the groups you belong to are concerned.

And in Love News (because we all like a bit of Love News…)

As of May 10, Venus will be moving through your sixth house of daily work and health routines. This is perhaps the least sexy of all the Venus transits BUT before you start feeling ripped off, be glad! Someone Else can take a back seat for a while as you use the coming four months to work on yourself body, mind and spirit. Venus loves to be pampered so she if you can book yourself in for a massage or day spa, if you like that kind of thing. If you'd rather Do It Yourself, book yourself in a night alone where you can give yourself a candlelit bubble bath, manicure and pedicure (and NO this doesn't apply to women only!) Venus here is also good news for you at work – you should find yourself feeling more amiable around the office, and you can pretty much expect your colleagues and clients to notice and approve, too. (And good things happen when those around us like us more than usual!) Romance-wise, this is the time to address the practical matters, rather than aiming for a love and hearts and flowers situation.
