Whether you’re playing the field or already in a satisfying relationship, your Capricorn’s horoscope for May 2023 is offering many opportunities for romance and connection. Open your heart!
Taurus’ earthy and sensual season is in full swing as the month begins, and it’s highlighting your sex and love life. Are you embracing pleasure and following your heart, Capricorn? You should be! If you are haunted by memories of an ex or the temptations of lovers from the past, you can blame it on Mercury retrograde—since it is currently rotating backwards along with the sun. Making promises or commitments during the first two weeks of the month may not be the best idea, but there’s nothing wrong with having fun with no strings attached.
If you need a distraction, the lunar eclipse in scorpio May 5 offers an unavoidable one, as it is poised to awaken a lot of energy in your social life. The drama among your crew could come out of nowhere, explode into a chaotic climax, and open your eyes to the true state of affairs. Don’t settle for friendships that exhaust you or make you feel unsupportive. You deserve to be surrounded by a community that believes in your hopes and dreams and encourages you to shine.
