Put these dates in your Google Cal rn:
May 3: All that glitters ain’t gold.
May 13: Your love life is action-packed.
May 20: All that glitters ain’t gold—the sequel.
As practical and pragmatic as you are, Virgo, you’re prone to idealizing others. You tend to project your idea of what “could be” onto them, while ignoring the harsh reality. You’re often attracted to people you think need “fixing,” and you fall hard. Well, a potential new lover is showing up around May 3, and you’re totally enthralled by them. This hot, mysterious, and (just a little) shady individual is someone you think you can share a beautiful connection with… but don’t dive into anything just yet, because things are not as they seem.
Your chemistry is extremely volatile with this person. You’re sharing plenty of emotional moments with them (good or bad), but (and there’s always a “but”) Venus Retrograde begins on May 13, meaning that your love life is turning all kinds of complicated for the next several weeks. I’m not going to tell you that this situationship is 100% doomed to end in tears—but if you’re looking for anything serious, take a step back and lower your expectations. Sorry, bb, I know that’s like the worst news ever, but hear me out! They’re not likely to be the LOYL by any means, but there are still a couple of lessons to learn. You’re supes shy and putting yourself out there is not your strongest trait by a long shot, but this is a great opportunity to practice dating, sexting, and getting to know new people.
Whether you’re in a new situationship or a LTR, the astro-weather on May 20 suggests that there’s relationship drama getting stirred up. Venus forms a harsh square to dreamy Neptune, planet of illusions, which allows for remarkably romantic and intimate connections (yay!)—but it’s also a HUGE red flag that someone is starting to act shady. Maybe you get ghosted. Maybe your S.O.'s demeanor around you changes out of the blue. Maybe you have a big fight. Try to take it easy, because this drama will pass soon.
Also on May 20, Gemini Season begins. After a supes action-packed couple of weeks, this vibe finds your love life slowing way down and draws your focus towards your professional life. Honestly, you deserve a break, and since you’re a productive, hardworking earth sign, focusing on work, job searching, or learning a new skill can actually offer some reprieve from the drama. Try to find the silver lining in any conflicts that pop up this month, and remember to count your blessings, Virgo. You got this.
