Venus, your fast-paced home planet, makes a lot of moves this month, starting with a quick trine to Jupiter retrograde on June 1. This transit is surrounded by plenty of good luck and positive vibes, but it’s also a very introspective time. Work on mending broken relationships, especially if you feel any guilt over past actions. A Venus-Pluto retrograde opposition on the fifth also pulls the focus inward, this time putting a more negative spin on things. There’s a tension here that could cause suspicion, jealousy, and/or possessiveness, and these negative emotions don’t help the healing process. You’ll probably find yourself asking why you’re feeling this way, but getting to the real and honest answer won’t be easy. Venus squares innovative Uranus on June 14, pressing you to change the game, especially in your love life. Yours isn’t the most experimental sign, but even a traditionalist like you can admit that it’s fun to change things up occasionally. The sun enters sensitive Cancer on the twenty-first, opening your heart to someone or something that wasn’t on your radar before. You might consider getting a pet or expanding your family during this time because your compassion is all-encompassing. Your attention will be centered on home and improving your surroundings for the next month.

Venus, your passionate home planet, gets into it right away with hazy Neptune, and their square on May 7 puts out some insecure, distorted energy. What you see in the mirror isn’t reflected in other people’s opinion of you, but your lack of confidence could cause issues regardless. When you receive compliments, say thank you even if you don’t necessarily believe them. Vocal Mercury enters your conservative sign on the thirteenth, so your communication is reserved and you tend to hold back your true emotions. You believe that manners and decorum come before full disclosure, so you hold your tongue in certain situations. The sun leaves your sign for restless Gemini on May 20, shifting your sometimes-stoic energy to a more easygoing vibe. Your attention span is scattered at best for the next month, so even though you’re interested in a lot of different topics, you don’t really explore any one of them in depth. The Venus-Saturn (retrograde) opposition on the twenty-sixth keeps your love life and/or finances from advancing the way you’d like them to, which causes you great disappointment. Keep your head down and work hard. You’ll get what you deserve eventually.

Spring forward or fall back? Your life could resemble the classic Daylight Savings Time rule this month. For the first three weeks of April, the planets pull you in dueling directions of nonstop expansion and you’ll feel a serious need to rest. There’s an undercurrent of exciting growth in the air, finished off with top notes of good old-fashioned fatigue. If you feel the irresistible call of Egyptian cotton sheets and your down comforter, the cosmos grants you a couple more weeks of hibernation. So what’s got you so sleepy? Well, the Sun is making its annual sojourn through Aries and your twelfth house of endings, rest and closure until April 19. You’re mentally and emotionally prepping for the start of Taurus season, when el Sol lands into your sign and gives you a celestial spring awakening. Until then, you need some time-outs to process any heavy emotions and recharge.
