Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Pump the brakes, Capricorn. On Tuesday, May 26 you may have to slow back down to a sensible speed. Inexorable Mars in your passionate fifth house wants to gallop ahead, but because it’s colliding with controlling Pluto in your “slow and steady” second house, you may feel very restricted. (Not to mention mad as hell!) But remember: While you are the captain of your own ship, there are other flotillas out there on the high seas. And sometimes you have to change course to accommodate them. Who are you trying to impress—or keep up with—anyway? What would happen if you stopped pushing so hard and found a way to be okay with things exactly as they are right now? Your true worth doesn’t come from your achievements alone or who you’re “better than.” Rather than making it a competition or holding yourself to unrealistic standards, allow yourself to admire the amazing people and be inspired by their greatness. Even if there is a little jealousy in the mix, you don’t have to get sucked into a vortex of bad vibes.

Are they really that into you…or are they simply launching a charm offensive? You might have trouble recognizing the difference this Thursday, as rosy-eyed Venus gets clipped by illusory Neptune. Even if the flattery is sincere, it shouldn’t necessarily determine your actions. You need to know that people can walk their talk. Stop wondering “will they or won’t they” and put those nebulous relationships to the test. A trial run of collaborating will tell you everything you need to know. Start small and watch: How does this potential partner manage time, utilize resources, communicate throughout the process? You never know until you try.

This Sunday this 31st brings May’s second full moon, a rare blue moon in Sagittarius, which sounds like a party, but because it lands in your twelfth house of introspection and surrender, it’s a very private party! Solitude is something you enjoy more than most people. And if you tap the power of these moonbeams, you can do some profound creative and healing work over the next two weeks and even six months. Get honest, Cap: Is there something (or someone) in your life that you know in your heart of hearts has to be released for you to feel truly free? There’s no value in wasting any more time, energy or psychic bandwidth trying to change a person who doesn’t want to budge or to control a situation that's out of your hands. If you're ready to release a behavior that's holding you back from a wonderful mission, you can do it now (or soon). Easy it’s not, but your single-minded sign has the determination to face your challenges with strength and maturity. Trust that after you make this move, you will begin to feel light, clear and FREE. Not there yet? Set a deadline and appoint a couple “gatekeeper” friends to hold you accountable.
