This might cause you to take things personally when something doesn’t go your way.
During hard times, everyone is stressed and that can cause unnecessary drama between you and your partner.

Try to spend some time alone thinking about issues and coming up with ideas to fix them instead of wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Taurus, you are a strong-willed lover. You are protective of your love bond with your partner and can also at times be inflexible.
Call your partner and talk about the situation whenever it comes to mind. When you both are on the same page, you will finally accept your circumstances and learn to adapt.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini, you are good at communication with your partner, but you can also be inconsistent at times.
