Venus, your loving ruler, starts the month with an encouraging trine to mellow Neptune on June 2, which increases kindness and tenderness in all areas of your life. It’s as if you see things through a hazy filter that shows you all the good in the world. You make the most of it by finding gentle, relaxing, and soothing activities to occupy your time. The focus shifts to you and your ego when Venus enters proud Leo on the thirteenth, and you take offhand comments (especially about your appearance or ability to do certain things) very personally. Being embarrassed in front of someone you really like is perhaps your worst nightmare, and you won’t easily forget anyone who causes you to lose face in front of a big crowd. A quick but stressful square between Venus and ever-changing Uranus on June 14 creates an unstable environment in an already troubled relationship, and the petty arguments it can cause certainly don’t help matters. Stable relationships will be relatively unaffected if you can keep an open mind. Mercury entering outgoing Leo on the twenty-ninth helps you lay it all on the line, and you love an audience. The more the merrier when you start telling your exciting tales!

When your home planet of passionate Venus squares dreamy Neptune on May 7, you have an increased need for love and affection. Juxtaposing this is your lowered sense of self-confidence, which could make you appear needy at times. You may have good intentions, but you’re setting yourself up for disappointment if you let anyone use you as a doormat. When Venus enters Cancer on the nineteenth, you’re full of compassion and concern. You extend your empathy to the world and would give a stranger the shirt off your back, but you feel most obligated to those close to you. You do what you can to make sure everyone feels safe and secure, including you. A sun-Mars trine on May 23 gives you back your confidence, and it’s easy to make a good first impression. If you’re interviewing or looking for love at this time, you should get positive responses from prospective employers and/or dates. Accept favorable feedback for what it is, and use it to make improvements in the future. If you don’t have anyone whispering suggestions for improvement in your ear, go with your instincts. There’s no better time to capitalize on your charm and charisma than now!

What about YOU, Libra? In April, you’re tugged between so many people’s needs it feels like you’ll never please them all… much less catch a minute for yourself. The planets are clustering in your opposite sign, Aries, which rules your partnership sector, and in Capricorn, governess of your domestic fourth house. That’s a lot of activity with family, home and relationships to navigate all at once—even for your people-loving sign! Hard as it can be for you, Libra, you’ll have to set limits—and lean on others too. With the Sun making its yearly sojourn through Aries until April 19, you’re in one of your low-power cycles. The Sun supplies our life-force energy, and while it’s at its farthest distance from your sign, your batteries are easily drained. But if you team up with the right collaborators and share the load, you can keep things chugging along. Take inventory: Who do you spend the most time around? Is it a balanced give-and-take?
