Yes, you have more bright ideas and energy than the average person now and, yes, you can probably think of a half dozen ways to make your job more interesting or to put yourself on a more exciting career path. Venus and Mars, astrology's creative couple, are making harmonious 120-degree trines to your sign that can kick your imagination into a higher gear. Yet you may not be content with just dreaming and scheming; you may be raring to go.

If you've got that fire within you now, great, but just don't be too fast on the trigger. First, Mercury, the master of details, slips into reverse in your 7th House of Partners on May 7 and will be backtracking in this part of your chart until May 30. Others may be unreliable and could provide misinformation or cause delays. Don't make a major move unless you've double-checked every little thing. Second, the Sun emerges from the bottom half of your chart on May 20, another reason to avoid jumping the gun before then. May can be a great month for sharpening your mind and making connections, yet turning fresh concepts and new relationships into profitable professional advantage could take more time than you expect.

Someone new may pop into your life with the New Moon in Gemini on May 24. There's certainly a reasonable chance that an opportunity for more stimulation will occur in the following four weeks. So keep your channels of communication open, consider unusual ideas and agreements and you could become a lot more interesting.
