Capricorn Monthly Horoscope

Pluto turns retrograde May 4, transforming thoughts on abundance

Money matters demand a discerning eye for the next five months, Capricorn. Shadowy Pluto turns retrograde in your second house of finances from May 4 to October 13, prodding you to review and refine how you earn a living. Which parts of your work feed your soul? And which ones drain you?

With Pluto in reverse, you may have a moment when resources could seem low or an old scarcity mindset creeps in. This is a spiritual test of sorts, a chance to confront any limiting beliefs and fearful illusions. All the same, be mindful where you spend your time and money. Better to leave extra slots in your calendar and a bit more in your “cushion fund.” You might opt to tap into savings or ask for extra time to finish a project. (Trust us—as Sagittarians, we just completed this cycle while Pluto was in Capricorn, and learned to keep a little extra in the bank in case there were a couple lean summer months!)

Transforming your thoughts toward abundance isn’t an overnight process. Pluto is spending 20 years in Aquarius (until January 2044), a two-decade cycle that is reinventing how you earn an income, build security and provide for yourself. This new phase marks a period of profound reckoning with what you value. 

Are your goals truly aligned with what matters most to you? You could redefine what it means to feel fulfilled, especially around earning and self-sufficiency. On this journey, you’ll create a life that’s built on lasting values, with both your work and your worth feeling deeply aligned.
