Love Horoscope for the Week of May 16

Everyone wants a taste of power now. How do you define it? Is power about sex, money, information, leadership, or freedom? The list goes on. One thing is clear: Tuesday’s Full Moon in Scorpio highlights where you’re feeling in (or possibly out of) control. Your challenge is in choosing an appropriate response if a situation develops that takes you into an uncomfortable (understatement!) inner space.

Don’t get me wrong: this particular lunation is earthy and downright sexy. And there’s a lot of cosmic oomph to bolster your stamina. You know what I’m talking about. Taurus and Scorpio peeps may be a little late for work on Wednesday morning, is all I’m hinting at.

But if you’re not expressing this intense cosmic energy in the valley of carnal delights—and even if you are—there are many ways you may experience the … shall we say … climax of this particular Full Moon. Be aware that folks everywhere are pretty invested in whatever it is they’re going on about. And you may have a dramatically different point of view or objective in mind than the next guy. It’s a bit of a tightrope walk to ensure that everyone’s needs are met. The easier choice may be to throw a grenade if you want to make a display of your power. Something about short-term gains comes to mind, though.

Better to choose your battles if they come into play. And go have an orgasm. Right now. It’s good for you, and it’s more fun than broccoli. Or grenades.
