“The very corner-stone of an education intended to form great minds, must be the recognition of the principle, that the object is to call forth the greatest possible quantity of intellectual power, and to inspire the intensest love of truth: and this without a particle of regard to the results to which the exercise of that power may lead, even though it should conduct the pupil to opinions diametrically opposite to those of his teachers.”
— John Stuart Mill

You may wonder what is happening to a particular relationship — but I suggest you leave your fears behind you. Yes, you might have the feeling that things are slipping out of control, but what good has control done for you or for the people you love? What you’re about to experience is the first step in a concentrated series of transitions lasting into late June. One message of this journey will be that control is a null concept. You will be reminded to take nothing for granted. And you will see how far simple trust can take you in your most intimate relationships. I know that most of the time we define these encounters as places of exchange, where if things are going well, we both give and get. The relationship environment of your life goes beyond mere exchange, and enters the dimension of alchemy. You have a role in someone’s life that you don’t understand — and cannot fully understand until you see the results. You don’t need to do much, except for participate when you feel the opening and invitation to offer yourself.

If Your Birthday is May 20
(The Day of Prolific Expression) | Birthday Readings: Taurus | Gemini | Others
You must trust your intuition. There will be times when you don’t have time or opportunity to get the facts, and in those situations, you must have faith in what your heart tells you is true. This will be unlikely to feel like fear. Your reminders of what to avoid will feel like a little tug away from something, and what to approach will just feel good.
Written in the Planets
With the Sun entering Gemini later today, see if your outlook on life doesn’t feel refreshed. You might pick up on an option that did not seem to be there before, or another side of a story. If you sense that the point of resolution or satisfaction between the possibilities you’re now considering is just out of reach, don’t fret; this moment shall pass. Earlier in the day, Jupiter in Libra square Eros in Cancer suggests that expressing your erotic or loving feelings could very well help to create more of them.
