Communications with colleagues could become complicated this month. It may be critical to make sure that you're on the same page as people within your organization. The reason is that Mercury, the information planet, will be retrograde in your 11th House of Groups from May 7 until May 30. While this might be favorable for reconnecting with old friends or co-workers, it increases the chances for confusing messages and misunderstandings with those who are on your team right now. However, if you use your gut instincts to back up your ideas, you will reduce the likelihood of making serious errors.

On May 1 the First Quarter Square of the Moon falls in your 2nd House of Income. It's in the bold sign of Leo, suggesting that you may have to take some risks to get a greater return from your work. The Full Moon in Scorpio also has some promise for you. It falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression on May 9, opening a two-week window of opportunity when you are particularly resourceful. Your creative skills can help you turn a loss into a gain or to maximize your return on a minimum investment. Objects that others want to discard and projects that have been rejected may reveal value that only you see. This can also help you transform a weakness in your resume into a strength by presenting it in a new form.

The New Moon on May 24 falls in your very private 12th House of Secrets, reminding you that you need to take more frequent breaks from your responsibilities to attend to you own emotional and physical health.
