You tend to give the power of clarity to the person you’re in a relationship with, Cancer. Yet, on May 23, you realize that it is something you actually can create for yourself.
If you’ve asked for what you need and made your feelings clear, then it’s up to you to decide if this person is on the same page. Don’t keep waiting for a conversation that may never come.

The details are important, Leo. Whether you are moving through a challenging phase in your relationship or already beginning to start over, you need to sit down on Saturday and work through the details.
This is likely in regard to financial aspects related to what you are moving into. Rather than avoid this or hope it will settle on its own, face it head-on.
Virgo

Take a moment to pause, Virgo. You excel at planning and executing your goals; however, romance isn’t all about lists and plans. You need to make sure the person in your life is investing as much effort as you are in your relationship.
Because of how you take charge, you often don’t realize your connections lack reciprocity until it's too late. Pause on Saturday and be honest about what your partner is investing.
Libra

It’s not your job to make sense of everything, Libra. You can’t always file away your feelings like books in a library. Not everything can be neat or organized, especially in matters of the heart.
Try to just sit with your feelings on Saturday. Let yourself just feel, even if that means embracing the mess. Sometimes it’s about just taking space to feel it all rather than pretending you're over it.
Scorpio

You are only responsible for yourself, Scorpio. In your excitement for romance and life, you often take on a strong and determined energy. Yet, this can feel pushy to partners or like you’re forcing them in a specific direction.
On May 23, try to remember that you can only be responsible for yourself. Let yourself be truly chosen and don’t let anxiety get the best of you.
Sagittarius

Choose the person who is best for your heart, Sagittarius. You often see people as paths to different lives. While this sentiment is true, it won’t do you any good if you’re not letting your heart decide for you.
No matter how good someone looks on paper, or what they could potentially offer you, you can’t choose from a place of logic. Let your heart lead you on Saturday.
Capricorn

Don’t make assumptions, Capricorn. You can’t assume that you and someone else are automatically on the same page.
While you usually prefer to let things be rather than having an emotional or sensitive conversation, you can’t avoid asking the questions on your mind. Have the conversation on Saturday so that you can know for sure either way.
Aquarius

Let yourself go with the flow, Aquarius. You are the free spirit of the zodiac, yet you’ve become practical and strict in terms of dating and romance. Still, you can’t let what you’ve been through take away your magic.
On May 23, remember what it feels like to truly live. Let yourself take chances and embrace the journey, no matter where it leads.
Pisces

Trust yourself, Pisces. You don’t have to keep reminding yourself of the lessons you've learned to be confident in new love. Something new is brewing in your romantic life, even if it’s not apparent just yet.
You are ready for this, but you need to let go and trust yourself. This lets you be receptive to what this person brings into your life and helps you find that new beginning you’ve been dreaming of.
