Broaden Your Horizons

Venus and Mars are astrology's hot couple. She is magnetic and he is passionate. They're close together this month as they wend their way through your 9th House of Higher Education and Travel. Classrooms and seminars, therefore, can be great places to meet someone. Any situations dealing with foreign cultures, like movies, music, festivals or foods, can also add a dash of excitement to your personal life.

Complicated feelings may arise around the Full Moon on May 9 that falls in your 4th House of Roots. If you're in a relationship, expect some unsettled issues to resurface. Even though the subject may be delicate, it's healthier to talk about it than to suppress your emotions. Still, be kind when discussing your discontent, or reacting to your partner's, since wounds run deep now and need to be handled gently.

Going to extremes is to be expected on May 16 when the Moon is moving through your 7th House of Sharing, and the Sun, your key planet, forms stressful 90-degree squares with excessive Jupiter and phantasmagorical Neptune. What you think you're seeing may not be real. Whether it's another person putting on a phony performance or simply your imagination that's running away with itself, take what you're experiencing now with a big grain of salt. Opening your heart and mind can be a good thing, as is using your imagination to create a more expansive vision of what a couple can be. Yet, your hunger for leaving behind the ordinary could, if you're not careful, leave you out on a limb.
