Fuel Your Inner Flirt
Although the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Aries is sure to energize both flirting and argumentativeness this week, the opposition from Saturn will likely smother some discussions because of entrenched ideas or attitudes. Fortunately, Mercury turning direct on Saturday will help communications move forward. Also this week, Venus entering Aries on Wednesday (through May 14) energizes the fiery, impulsive vibe in romance. Best days for socializing: Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. Your Love Horoscope
You’ll likely experience a tug-of-war between speaking your mind and holding back because of the feelings of others. Which might not be such a bad thing, Aries. On the upside, Venus in Aries can bring both friends and romance to your doorstep. This weekend, some emotional upheaval is likely on Saturday, but a friendly gathering energizes you on Sunday.
Taurus, if you feel pushed out of your comfort zone, it’s likely that a hidden feeling inside of you (competitiveness? arousal? boredom?) is doing the pushing. Strive to get in touch with your inner life to discover any suppressed feelings that need attention. Learning something new or exploring a new locale will energize romance this weekend!
