Your love and relationships horoscope for May 2020

Aries must watch their tongues this month. It is easy for you to get distracted and forget to monitor what you are saying to your loved ones. An offhanded comment or unfiltered remark can easily cut someone you care about deeply. Once the seed is planted, it is easy for it to grow into a full- blown conflict or argument. Words can hurt.

Likewise, you may find yourself on the receiving end of some careless remark or rumour. It can be difficult to find the truth this month, so focus on maintaining honest and open communication with your loved ones. Pay attention to conversations and do not pass judgement until you have spoken to someone directly.

Venus, Taurus’ planet, will retrograde in the middle of May. For the first half, Taurians may settle into their relationships. New couples may attempt to grow their relationships by trying to live with one another. Taurians may believe that things will continue as smoothly.

However, in the second half of the month, you have to be more cautious. As this is the time where conflicts are more likely to occur. Listen to advice and be on your guard.

Single Taurians should be careful if someone seems to be too good to be true. Attached couples should pause whenever they feel an argument is coming up. Instead, take a deep breath and try to work out any issues practically and peacefully.

Geminis may take on a more practical approach to love this month. Last month gave you a good kick when it came to starting new relationships, rekindling old ones or simply relighting the passion in your current relationships. Coming off that high, many Gemini may now look to start taking the next step forward. Thus, many Geminis may be busy, setting up the homelife or altering household routines to accommodate their loved ones.

While you are blessed in their period of peace, be careful, as conflicts may still rear their ugly heads. These conflicts are likely to be more impactful and frustrating this month. Stand your ground, but learn to compromise in order to fully resolve any issues that are brought up.

The full moon in Cancer’s fifth house empowers Cancerians especially when it comes to romance. The Six of Cups also strives to encourage you this month. Learn to embrace the fun-loving and carefree side of yourself.

This is a good time for couples to show how much they love each other. Single Cancerians have a high chance of meeting someone who helps lower their walls in the first half of the month.

However, take caution in the second half as other signs will start to get more restless. Some may even start rumors that make it difficult for you to fully enjoy yourself. Learn not to buy into them. Instead, talk honestly to your loved ones in order to avoid creating misunderstandings.

As Leo travels forward, they may enter a foggy patch in their travels. Things aren’t immediately clear to you and this can leave you frustrated, especially in your love and social life. If issues crop up at home, you aren’t sure what the cause of them. Disagreements leave you feeling more puzzled than angry, and conflicts make you more confused than irritated.

All the same, Leos will always try to stand their ground and fight even if they aren’t sure what it is exactly, they’re fighting for. Instead of hunkering down when you feel a storm coming, stop and speak honestly and openly to your loved one. Don’t be afraid to admit you aren’t so sure how to smooth things over.

Virgos walk a bit of a thin line between extrovert and introvert this month. There are times where you are excited to be with people and help them in their goals, but there are also times where you are just completely comfortable being by yourself.

That being said, May promises to be a bit of a mixed bag, so it is good if you can adapt yourself accordingly. While couples will be able to enjoy an extended period of harmony and even rekindle romance in their relationships, misunderstandings and internal conflicts can still cause tension. Virgos must learn to keep their cool and use their head in these situations. This way you can continue the peace in the household.

May is a bit of a mixed month when it comes to relationships. With Venus’ retrograde, Libras may feel that you often have to put yourself behind other people. You are a sign of balance and harmony and may strive tirelessly to achieve it. However, sometimes you need to take a step back and understand that you don’t always have to be the one to fix things.

Instead focus on yourself and the positive relationships around you. Do what you can, but do not push yourself to fix issues that do not concern you or may stress you out needlessly. Remember, do the best you can, and when that is done, love yourself unconditionally. The world will return that love to you in due time.

The haze of last month is starting to fade away. As Scorpios emerge from their own heads, ready to start socialising and building their relationships again. Luckily, the stars are shining on you in the first half of the month. Blessing you with favorable relationships and many warm moments with your friends and family.

Attached Scorpios may find that their bonds with their spouses or children are growing. However, be cautious as when Venus retrogrades on the 13th, things may take a turn. Arguments, especially regarding household finances or money, may threaten to cause disharmony. Take a breath and work to make a plan that is both practical, but also accommodating.

Venus’ retrograde affects all signs, but Sagittarians should be a bit more careful this month. While you are rushing around victoriously as a shining knight in your workplace, you may accidentally forget that your homelife needs same amount of attention. Lack of quality time with your loved ones can lead to open arguments. Often, the issue you believe you are arguing over is not the true heart of the matter. Remember, in a fight, people will always mirror each other’s energies. So while, it can be tempting to raise your voice and stand your ground, sometimes you need to pause, take a breath and invite your loved ones to state their points. Employing a diplomatic nature is especially important.

Capricorns should act quickly in the first half of this month. It is a harmonious and blessed time for spending with your loved ones and strengthening relations with your friends and family.

Single Capricorns have a chance of meeting someone overseas, while attached couples can benefit from taking a short trip to focus on themselves.

However, in the second half of the month, Venus’ retrograde can sour things a little. As things become busier in your career, things may be strained as you have less time to spend with your family. This can lead to misunderstandings or even arguments if you are not careful. Ensure you always inform your loved ones when you are busy.

Family is where the heart is at. With Mars entering Aquarius’ 5th house of romance and love, you are putting a lot more stake and energy into your home affairs. This may be a time where you physically choose to renovate, refurbish or change the layout of your home. Or, you are working on strengthening your family bonds and settling any conflicts.

However, Venus’ retrograde in the middle of the month can throw a wrench in your plans. People will be more prone to conflicts and relationships are strained. You can work to overcome this by continuing to be both supportive, but also open and honest in talking to your loved ones.

The advice for a Pisces’ love life is relatively the same as the advice for their career and workplace. Likewise, you may experience a much-needed confidence boost in the first half of the month. This can help single Pisces be more active in meeting and socialising with others (read also “Singlehood Is Great, But That Doesn’t Mean You Should Stop Dating“) helping you gain more friends or expand your social circles.

Attached couples can rebalance their relationship dynamics. However, in the second half of the month, you have to be careful about becoming overbearing. Conflicts may arise and the harmonious environment may suddenly feel like a battleground. Learn to be patient and compromise. Allow others to speak their mind before you do yours.
