Trust yourself, dearest Gemini.
May 21 brings a situation that encourages you to seek out others in order to gain deeper understanding of a situation in your romantic life. This may involve you connecting with friends or the acquaintances of your partner, but, you also want to be aware that there may be a third-party situation here.
While seeking advice from others is often necessary, be sure that you’re trusting yourself first and foremost. Be especially cautious if your partner has heavy Leo energy, as you may discover a secret they’ve been hiding from you.

Be careful if you are already in a relationship, as the attraction between the two of you is very strong. If you’re content in your relationship, then the universe is directing you to focus on getting out of the house and meeting up with friends. This isn’t just about having fun, but rather sharing your lives and friends with one another.
