By Jeff JawerProvided by Tarot.comSimplicity is your ally for much of this month as the Sun in down-to-earth Taurus is in your 3rd House of Communication until May 20. Normally, this would help you clarify your ideas and present them in a straightforward manner. However, chatty Mercury is in its airy home sign of Gemini, which tends to bring you more and more information. When you think that youve got your arms around a project or an idea, new data comes in to complicate matters. Its easy to become distracted with another phone call or message when you think that youre finally done with a task. Active Mars enters your 6th House of Work and Service on May 9, which can force you to act boldly, even if it means that you behave less politely than usual.
Taking yourself seriously can be a good thing if it allows you to concentrate on your job. But the real gift of this planet is to provide you with creativity and a sense of playfulness that lightens your load. The Suns entry into Gemini on May 20 turns your attention away from the outside world to focus more on your personal life. While this can make it more difficult to concentrate on your job, its probably wise to take a mental break from trying to satisfy others and return to your personal needs. Its helpful to relax about your career, if you can, and give yourself a chance to back away and get a more objective perspective on your situation.
