Swing for the Fences

Passion flows powerfully with the Full Moon falling in your 5th house of romance on May 2. You provoke strong reactions from others and feel just as strongly about them. There may not be a middle ground of lukewarm emotions, only extreme attraction or repulsion. But don't stop the flow of desire, Cancer, since this could be your sexiest Full Moon of the year. Don't waste your time complaining about what you don't have. Instead, it's time to go on the hunt for what you need. Practice the art of seduction to induce your current partner to be more giving -- physically and emotionally -- or to pull a new romance into your orbit.

It may feel like love is a natural phenomenon like the weather, and that you have no control over it. Well, that's not the story this month. Your intention, commitment and desire are powerful forces that are ready for action. The only way to succeed is to be willing to fail. Yes, it's a risk to raise your hopes, but if you want to play the game of love at a major league level, you're going to have to swing for the fences. If you put your heart into it, Cancer, you can only have temporary setbacks, but you will never fail in the long run. How much are you willing to put on the line to achieve your heart's desire? It takes a big investment of your emotion and energy now, but if it's deep personal satisfaction you seek, it's well worth the price.
