YAs usual, you may have more good ideas than any one person should. And there are so many or they are so advanced that turning them into reality isn't going to be easy. Venus and Mars, a super creative team, are zipping through your 3rd House of Information, attracting you to a diverse set of concepts and interesting subjects. This can also make you an entertaining teacher, yet there's a major pattern that's likely to bog down communication and cause confusion.

Intellectual Mercury, the planet of the mind, turns backwards on May 7 in your 5th House of Self-Expression and will stay in reverse until May 30. That means that others will be slower to digest information, mixing up what you say or write, asking useless questions and forgetting essential facts. Therefore, it's vital to double check data and messages, making sure that what you've got in your thoughts matches others' realities. Besides, the Sun is slogging through your 4th House of Home and Family until May 20, perhaps demanding more attention to personal matters.

Also on May 20, the Sun flits into jittery Gemini and your expressive 5th house to put you in a livelier mood. Creative potential goes up again, yet the results of these insights might not be evident until Merc finally shifts out of reverse and slowly starts crawling forward on May 30. Still, you should get a buzz from the New Moon on May 24 that puts you in a mood to play. If you can apply that attitude in the work place that's great, but if not, restlessness can make it hard to concentrate on your job.
