ErosScopes: May 2010 Love Horoscopes for Libra to Pisces

Horoscopes for the month ahead, with a focus on love, sex, romance, and style. Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important “trappings” and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. The Moon shows our underlying emotional needs that can express themselves as sexual fantasies and needs. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts.

The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart. Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the Ascendant sign, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second. Also, sometimes I have more to say for some signs, simply because more astrological activity is taking place that is related to relationships for that sign this month (or because I am digressing!). This does not mean I am biased towards any particular sign.

May 2010 ErosScopes – Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

Libra

Until the 19th, freedom and exploration are great needs in love, after which more practical concerns come to the fore. With Uranus soon entering Aries, unusual, exciting, and perhaps erratic themes are likely to arise in your close relationships over the next years. Jupiter will join Uranus in your partnership sector next month, and freedom will be sought, perhaps at all costs! Conditions that you once accepted might begin to feel confining, and will need a major overhaul. May is a mostly sociable month for you, especially from the 21st forward. You are making exciting new contacts and reconnecting with old friends. You are keen on sharing your personal philosophies with others and are especially intrigued with other points of view and ideas. Different people (those who you don’t normally consider your “type”) attract you. You’re looking for new and different people, and experiences. The exotic and the unknown now have more appeal to you than the familiar. After the 19th, shared goals are especially appealing. Better days for love in May are likely to be on the 4th, 20th and 26th. Minor annoyances or snags in your love life are more likely on the 19th and 28th.

Scorpio

Dear Scorpio, this is an excellent month for giving your close personal relationships the attention they deserve. From the 11th, tensions and communication troubles begin to clear up and you know where you stand. A partner is more willing to share himself/herself on deeper, intimate levels. May 13th brings a rush of positive energy to a partnership, just when you need it most. It’s a great time for making new resolutions about relationships, whether you’re in one or not. Love is exactly how you like it until the 19th–intricate, intimate, and deep. From the 19th forward, Venus in fellow Water sign, Cancer, places the emphasis on pleasure and enjoyment. You can attract what you want and need, rather than having to pursue it forcefully. This Venus cycle is comfortable for you — the world seems to be speaking your love language, and your powers of attraction are easy. Eros, the god of erotic love, occupies Cancer up until the 29th, and this brings ease to your intimate life. Others especially appreciate your zest for life, and you feel considerably freer about expressing your sexuality. Better days for love in May are the 7th, 18th, and 20th. More challenging days for love are more likely to be May 17th, 23rd, 28th, and 31st.

Sagittarius

May is strong for your social life, negotiations, and communications, dear Sagittarius, although before the 12th, some conversations can be strained and non-productive, particularly with a partner and on the job. Venus is traveling through your partnership sector until the 19th, and this helps you to keep relations smooth. It’s also good for attracting love into your life. Your ruler, Jupiter, is on the verge of an alignment with excitable Uranus, and also on the verge of changing signs. This means change is definitely in the air. Love affairs are going to be especially unusual and exciting for you this summer, and your needs from love and romance are changing quite quickly. May is a good month for getting in touch with your heart’s desire so that when these exciting planetary energies arrive, you’re at least prepared emotionally. Mars in fellow Fire sign, Leo, pumps you with enthusiastic energy this month. It’s easy to go after what you want because you are confident that you deserve it! The 27-28th brings a personal revelation of sorts, with the Full Moon in your sign illuminating some of the emotions that you’ve buried in recent months. More harmonious days for love for you this month are likely to be May 7th and 21st; while relationships require more care on the 9th, 17th, and 28-29.

Capricorn

A mostly fun month is in store for you, dear Capricorn. While some communication snafus can be irksome, especially with a romantic partner, your creative flow returns mid-month. The chance for creative and romantic new beginnings arrives just in time. A New Moon on the 13th presents an excellent opportunity for making new resolutions about your love life. It can also signal the start of a new romance for some of you. The urge to work is not as strong as usual, so down time might be in order, if you can manage it. After the 19th, Venus moving through your partnership sector brings sweet energy to any existing partnership, or the chance to attract a loving relationship for single Caps. The ability to slip into another person’s shoes can certainly impress, and it can help you to smooth over any differences that you may have had with a special someone recently. Compromising and tending to a partner’s needs is actually a turn-on for you this month, as it feeds your need to please and certainly finds an appreciative audience. A lover might be more interested in keeping things exclusive, and for sharing plenty of one-on-one time. Better days for love this month are May 7th, 18th, and 20th. More challenging days for love are likely on the 3rd, 18th, and 28th.

Aquarius

Energy runs high for romance, entertainment, and recreation in May, dear Aquarius. Loving Venus moves through your romance sector until the 19th, and the Sun takes her place from the 21st. This puts a strong emphasis on having fun, flirting, and attracting. A partnership continues to be animated and spirited this month as Mars moves through your partnership sector–something that’s been happening for many months now, but at a more typical speed for Mars. Any troubles that have been simmering below the surface are now out in the open. There’s no time to spare for resentments and long drawn-out arguments. Taking care of frustrations immediately is on the agenda. Important group connections and friendships come along suddenly this month and next, dear Aquarius. They can be eye-opening and propel you along a new path of self-discovery. As mentioned last month, your ruler, Uranus, is approaching an alignment with happy Jupiter, and this brings a great need for more freedom and happiness in your life. Uranus is also on the verge of changing signs, and symbolically, Aquarians are also on the verge of starting a brand new chapter in their lives. A better day for love this month is likely to be May 20th, and challenges are more likely on the 9th, 19th, and 30th.

Pisces

You tend to play it safe with expressing your romantic feelings while Venus moves through your solar fourth house until the 19th, dear Pisces. It can be a good time to get in touch with your deeper needs from love and romance, in preparation for a more outgoing and expressive cycle that begins on the 19th and runs into June. Until the 11th, a partner may be a little distant, after which the lines of communication open. In fact, you’re likely to have an especially chatty time with a partner. Love opportunities increase from the 19th forward with Venus in fellow Water sign, Cancer, and moving through your expressive, playful, and creative solar fifth house. You have a bigger than usual appetite for intimate pleasures with the god of erotic love, Eros, in Cancer until the 29th–and tremendous charm. It’s easier to find like-minded people, and your partner’s desire for you is especially important to you now. You’re in the mood for positive feedback, and you certainly deserve it! Better days for love are likely on May 18th and 26th. Minor problems or annoyances in love are more likely on May 9th, 17th, 29th, and 31st.
