The astrology of May 13 to 19 presents an interesting collection of transits as the majority of significant energy peaks on Wednesday, May 15, with asteroid Ceres stationing retrograde in Capricorn, the First Quarter Moon in Leo, and Mercury moving into Taurus. Together, these aspects create an ardent desire to recognize what you need in your relationship and overcome any challenges through honest communication that focuses on setting up a blissful future.
Take time to improve your romantic connection while creating a space of love, nurturing, and support with an existing partner — or in a new romance. As you do, the truth of what is most important to you will rise to the surface. With that knowledge, you can attract and create the forever love that has always been meant for you.
A long-lasting relationship isn’t solely built on chemistry or emotion but on recognizing something valuable and unique within your partner that you know can’t be found anywhere else. Committing to making a relationship work comes down to a feeling of innate value within your connection and the person you are with. Otherwise, it’s not enough to make it work. Because love means understanding that not every day will be easy and that no matter how much you might care, each day will not be sunshine and roses. Consciously choosing your partner each day allows you to build your forever love.
