Capricorn Weekly Horoscope

Details, details! Last week, three planets moved into Gemini and your administrative sixth house which may have filled your calendar with more irritating and mundane activities than any Capricorn cares to deal with. Before you start plugging away on your own, hit pause. On Thursday, May 30, a balancing quarter moon lands in Pisces and your third house of strategic partnerships. What if you DON’T have to burn the candle at both ends to finish up a deadline? Even if you have to shell out a little coin, it may be worth it to hire someone for part-time assistance or to pass part of the job to a sub-contractor.

If you’ve been opting for work over play (a very Capricorn tendency), flip that on its head. The restorative Pisces moon can make you MORE productive after you’ve given yourself some time to reflect and recharge. Accept an invitation to do something fun and possibly a bit quirky. Not everything has to have a “purpose,” Cap! There’s such a thing as fun for fun’s sake, so let yourself be silly and childlike for once. Hanging with a new pal could lead to a friend crush, especially with someone who has style, panache and status. You're hardly being superficial: You’re just being sincere. Enjoy this person’s presence but stop short of putting them on a pedestal (since they can easily tumble off it). Besides, they probably don't WANT the pressure that comes from being held to impossible standards. Let their talents and specialness inspire YOU to be the best you can be!

If you recently experienced a shady side to a friend, coworker or neighbor, you may have to confront them on this. But you don’t have to be accusatory or harsh. Just let them know what you’re feeling and give them a chance to explain their actions. It could be that you missed a larger context and only saw a small aspect of a situation. And remember: To err is human but to forgive, divine!

On Sunday, June 2, a beneficial alignment of open-minded Pluto and alchemical Jupiter helps you get centered and organized—sweet relief! Feeling grounded is anything but boring, as it turns out; it actually gives you a springboard to enjoy life without feeling totally out of control. Start with the basics: What you eat, how much you sleep, and what you spend money on. The goal is to be a healthy hedonist, Cap. Invest in a colorful cruiser bike for running local errands. Try out the tantalizing, gluten-free recipes. Sit down and make a budget midweek, as well. With bean-counting Pluto in the mix, reviewing your past spending and saving habits will be illuminating. Don't punish yourself for those retail therapy splurges. Instead, create categories for all the necessities first (rent, electric bill, retirement fund) then create a reasonable entertainment fund for yourself—essential motivation for your cautious sign!
