Let Your Creativity Shine Through Patience

You're always a little ahead of your time, but the gap between what your facile mind can see and what the world is ready to hear may be greater than usual this month. Mental Mercury is quick-witted in its home sign of Gemini and especially stimulating for you in the 5th House of Creativity. There are few limits to the concepts you can conjure up to make improvements in your current job or in imagining a new one. However, the Sun is plodding through earthy Taurus in your 4th House of Roots and Foundations, bogging you down with details and obligations. Limited resources or family duties seem to work against the insights of your fertile mind. On May 20, though, the Sun finally leaves Taurus and enters intellectually curious Gemini.

A renewed sense of confidence can arise as you may feel ready to present your brightest ideas to an interested audience. By all means, share what’s on your mind, but recognize that the powers that be can drag their feet in response to what you have to offer. If you work for yourself, a fresh concept for a product, service or promotion seems ripe, yet can also run into temporary delays. It’s Mercury’s retrograde -- the backward movement of the information planet, starting on May 26 -- that can be the culprit. The bad news can be complications caused by cancelled meetings and misunderstanding. However, the silver lining in this confusing cloud is that you have an extra three to four weeks to get your act together before making a major pitch.
