Let Go of Control

You don't usually have especially exotic tastes, Virgo, but this month is rich with opportunities to connect with unconventional people and experiences. Explore unfamiliar territory by going to new places and trying different kinds of activities. Get your head out of the way by turning the volume down on its critical voice and get into your body. Following its instincts will lead you to pleasures and delights that your mind might otherwise refuse to recognize. This is about simplifying things instead of overanalyzing them. No matter what your age, be a kid when it comes to personal matters. Yes, that might sound irresponsible or selfish, but cutting away reason to get to the core of desire is an excellent way to get you on track to romance.

Relationships are complicated, which is why it can so helpful to stop trying to control them or figure them out now. When you are in touch with your base instincts, you'll know what to do to get what you want. Your brain gets back into the game on May 21 when the Sun enters intellectual Gemini. This might be a time when you're just as interested in talking about romance as experiencing it. But think of this kind of conversation as an old fashioned smoke after some good lovemaking. Chatting is not only nicotine-free and mentally stimulating, but it provides you with fresh ideas and insights that come from exchanging opinions with someone you trust.
