Deluge of Data

Communication is your key to success this month as three planets enter jumping Gemini in your 3rd House of Information. Ideas start popping and data moves faster when Mercury hops into the sign of the Twins on May 2. Manage your messages to keep papers from piling up and your e-mail box from overflowing. Your mind is readily fascinated by so many subjects that you can lose track of your priorities. Just say no to gossip, stories, classes and conversations that can’t be applied to your major goals. The New Moon in determined Taurus on May 5 enriches your 2nd House of Resources with a greater appreciation of your self-worth and plans for increasing your income. This isn't about a quick financial fix. Instead, it can mark the beginning of steady progress toward greater prosperity. What you see and feel may not necessarily be what you get.

Key Dates in May for Aries:

May 22: Off the Beaten Track
An edgy sesquisquare between active Mars and eccentric Uranus can be brilliant and inventive, but it has an impulsive and rebellious tendency as well. This is useful for finding methods that work outside the usual rules, yet can make following them much more difficult. It's easy to become irritated by an overly strict or cautious person, so avoid confrontations if possible.

SUPER NOVA DAYS
May 9-11: Playing With Fire
Mars's entry into outgoing Leo on May 9 should unleash your personality with even more punch than usual. Its movement into your 5th House of Romance is another reason to expect life to become more pleasurable now. But first you have to make it through an irritating quincunx between your ruling planet and Pluto on May 11 that is more about crossing swords than opening hearts. Pride can be wounded, and passionate feelings are easily misinterpreted. If a nerve is touched, proceed gently to avoid deepening a wound.

Keep in Mind This Month: Words alone don't equal commitment, so consider what you hear this month as interesting information rather than a solemn promise.
