Money matters come into the spotlight (even more than usual) starting on Monday, May 1, when transformational Pluto shifts into reverse in Aquarius and your second house of finances until June 11. Pluto is associated with everything hidden and mysterious, so keep a mindful eye on project costs as well as your personal spending. Just as you’re about to close a deal or accept an offer, it may seem to vanish into thin air. Rather than hit the panic button, lean into your Capricorn patience and hatch a Plan B. On June 11, Pluto retrogrades back into your sign, where it will backspin till October 10, then it resumes forward motion until returning to Aquarius and your money sector on January 20, 2024. Even if things stagnate or go sideways, find a silver lining, such as viewing this as a golden opportunity to review your plans and make sure everything is being built on a solid foundation. When Pluto resumes direct motion in your sign (October 10 to January 20), you might get another shot at a gig or moneymaking prospect that didn’t pan out the first time.
As a Capricorn, you’re having a long, slow goodbye ritual with Pluto, who’s been in your sign since 2008. But when Pluto made its first entry into Aquarius this past March 23, it may have sparked some mixed emotions: relief, since Pluto is intense, but also a bit of confusion over “Now what?” Pluto will dance through Capricorn from June 11, 2023, to January 20, 2024, and again from September 1 to November 19, 2024. Try to “flow” through these oscillations, and practice trusting the process.
Friday’s lunar (full moon) eclipse in Scorpio lands in your eleventh house of technology and teamwork, and could signal some changes to Gang Goat. Full moons can bring things to a culmination or completion point, so squad efforts of the past six months could hit a magical milestone over the next two weeks. Take your victory lap, but don’t turn off your engine. With so much momentum, this is the perfect time to think about which next steps are right for YOU. Don’t be distracted or swayed by others’ feedback. You may decide to stay the course OR totally pivot into something completely different. Since the eleventh house is your digital domain, this eclipse can help you actualize a virtual dream. But don’t cut any corners (or costs!) when it comes to data security, especially with Mercury retrograde. On a related note, be mindful about what you post on social media. It may seem clever and innocent in the moment, but someone else might take grave offense.
