New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 5th house
Thursday 6 May brings the New Moon at 15°42′ Taurus, exact at 10:59 UTC, and for Capricorn it falls in the 5th house, the house of romance, creativity and children.
In the old reckoning the New Moon was the threshold every month was counted from, and the May threshold stands in your 5th house, Good Fortune, read as a beginning that is meant to be enjoyed rather than used, which is rarer than it sounds. Set in your 5th house, the May lunation takes its tone from its sign: Taurus lends it staying power and a taste for comfort.
If you want something to do with this May lunation, spend unhurried time with a child, or with the child you were.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Capricorn forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.

Thursday 20 May brings the Full Moon at 29°13′ Scorpio, exact at 10:59 UTC, opposite the Sun in Taurus, and for Capricorn it lands in the 11th house, the house of friends, hopes and community.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as an axis rather than a point, and the May axis runs through your 11th house, the Good Spirit, showing which friendships are living and which are only remembered. For Capricorn this May, Scorpio makes the mood deep and unflinching, interested in what lies underneath. Read as an axis, from your 11th house to your 5th, this May Full Moon runs along the axis of the heart and the hope: personal joy and the friends and causes you belong to.
If you want something to do with this May lunation, write down three hopes for the next five years, plainly.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 2nd house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 8 May, at 7°10′ Aquarius, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Capricorn’s what you value and self-worth through May.
Mercury enters Gemini on 9 May, your 6th house. Until 28 May, Mercury in your 6th house puts the mind to work: lists, schedules, problem-solving and the details of the job.
Mars enters Virgo on 14 May, your 9th house. Until 15 July, Mars in your 9th house sends the will abroad: bold travel, fierce convictions and arguments about belief.
Venus enters Taurus on 14 May, your 5th house. Until 8 June, with the lesser benefic in the place she rejoices, the old books would call this a time for courtship, creativity and pleasure without guilt.
The Sun enters Gemini, your 6th house, on 21 May at 06:18 UTC. Until 21 June, with the Sun in your house of daily work, the season favors order, health routines and finishing what is half done.
Mercury crosses into Cancer on 28 May and so into your 7th house. Until 26 June, Mercury in your 7th house sets the mind on other people: negotiations, contracts and the conversations a partnership needs.
Love, work and money for Capricorn in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 4th house, and enters Taurus, your 5th, on 14 May, turning affection toward romance, dating, courtship and the play that keeps love from going stale. The New Moon on 6 May falls in your 5th, the house of romance, creativity and children.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 8th, into Virgo (your 9th) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward teaching, publishing, law, travel for work and further qualifications.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Aquarius) or your 8th (Leo) in May, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Capricorn’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
