This month contains 6 supportive days (♥ or +), 22 communication days (@), and 20 tension days (! or -).

Relationship focus, a few sharper moments with Aries.

The Moon conjunct Saturn on May 14 in Aries brings the two together in the same part of the sky, making that day feel more noticeable than the days around it.
