Love Horoscope for the Week of May 9

Have you ever noticed what happens when drivers consistently barrel through a residential neighborhood at top-speed, at great jeopardy to toddlers and pets? Eventually a committee wins a bureaucratic indulgence to have speed bumps installed. Well, it looks like the Cosmos has made a similar decree: it’s time to check your mirrors and slow down.

Maybe you’re one of the few peeps who’s not actually feeling burnt out. Maybe you could go on at this pace indefinitely. If so, then the amber signal provided by swift Mars’ entry into Taurus may feel like an unwelcome exercise in spinning your wheels. But for those of you who feel like you’ve been moving at breakneck speed for weeks on end, this gradual change in tempo is like the difference between a fast talker and someone with a languid Southern drawl. Whether you need a rest or not, though, it’s time to shift gears.

So let’s identify how this new time signature affects the love song you’ve been experiencing: We’re shifting from the loud and gutsy rock and roll anthem that dared you to go hard or go home, and into a more bluesy ballad that gets you contemplating the merits of hitting the sack for some body pleasure. Think sexy saxophone. You can practically make smoke rings with these hot and sensuous vibes.

Now, even if you’ve become a bit of an adrenaline junkie what with all of this Aries energy around, hopefully the notion of carnal delights will be welcome music to your ears.
