May starts with the Taurus Sun hunkering down in your 12th House of Escapism until May 20, a time when you're more comfortable out of the spotlight. Yet at the same time, the love planet Venus is warming up your sign through May 19, making you feel more attractive and calling on you to show off your playful, flirtatious and chatty side of your personality. The tides shift when the Sun's enters Gemini on May 20, exposing you to others and raising your self-confidence. However, the day before, Venus moves into moody Cancer where tender feelings dominate relationships. You may really be ready to rock now, yet others shift into a self-protective mode. Relationships are complicated this month, but your ability to adapt can smooth out this potentially bumpy ride.
