Your May 2025 Horoscope for Capricorn
by Susan Miller
If you are not moving or making changes to your home, you may be focused on a parent who needs your assistance. When my sister and I began helping my mother, Little Mom (as I affectionally called her because she was so tiny), we found that we had plenty to learn—a visit from Saturn in your home and family sector can point the way toward the right path. When Saturn comes by any house of the horoscope, there are new goals to tackle, and that starts with doing research to find options and determine how to proceed.
My sister and I found that we had landed in an unfamiliar subculture neither of us had ever encountered before. First, I researched how to find a kind, qualified person to live with my mother at home, and my sister made sure the lady caretaker we chose, Annie, was paid at the end of every week. We had to be sure my mother saw her doctor at regular intervals and that everything was running on time. Friends can help you navigate these new uncharted waters. It is amazing how fast you can learn when you dearly love the person you want to help. My sister and I both lived near our mother, which made everything easier.
My sister and I were at Mom’s apartment all the time, keeping her company. I would write Astrology Zone forecasts on her couch and talk with her during the process. We would laugh together. She’d always watched the news or the History Channel, so I would ask her questions about certain aspects, which she would answer in her characteristic philosophical style.
Many Capricorn readers are overseeing the care of an older relative. Saturn will help you find your way, and soon you will be giving advice to others. We found other people’s advice was very helpful—for example, we found my mother’s caregiver, Annie, through a recommendation from one of my friends. My mother was a scholar who became highly skilled in astrology, and she taught me most of what I know today about the subject. She insisted I study with her for 12 years before I read a single chart for a friend or family member. (She would say, “Study less than 12 years, and you won’t know what you are doing, and you won’t be any good.”) I followed her advice to the letter. Little Mom passed in 2012, and I miss her every day.
