Watch Your Words

You can find something interesting or someone to play with around every corner this month. Astrology's lovers, Venus and Mars, are dancing through your 3rd House of Nearby Places, making even a routine outing an opportunity for pleasure. This house is also associated with intellect and information, enabling you to attract more mentally stimulating company. You generally have a good time with playful people who know how to use words to tease and tickle, so this should suit you well. On the other hand, you could lack patience with individuals who aren't as quick on the uptake as you. A sudden comment could wound your partner or push away a potential lover. The edge between verbal play and punishment can sometimes be so thin that you fall over it.

On May 13 mental Mercury goes retrograde in your 5th House of Romance. This can turn your thoughts back toward relationships of the past or create an obstacle to moving forward in a current partnership. You could spend more time apologizing, explaining yourself or asking someone else to explain his or her behavior. However, it's smarter to be more careful in what you say, to think things through before speaking so these adjustments won't be necessary.

On May 24 the New Moon in Gemini falls in your 5th House, triggering a fresh round of fun. Getting involved in creative activities is a great way to have a good time and, perhaps, meet someone. You'll do well before an audience so seek opportunities to get on stage and strut your stuff.
