The planets take turns
The Sun transits in trine in the ninth field in Taurus , where it meets the New Moon on May 16th. Venus is also in Taurus until April 24th, then begins a square in the tenth field in Gemini , where it will remain until May 19th. Mercury instead transits in Taurus from May 3rd to 17th, giving way to Mars which enters Taurus on the 18th. Among the slow-moving planets, the news of the month concerns Uranus , which on April 26th ends its trine in Taurus and moves into square in Gemini , obviously affecting only the first degrees for now; Jupiter in Cancer is in sextile to the second decan until May 8th, then begins to affect the third. In short, it seems that the planets are alternating in their positions, accompanying more or less effective days. For example, you may need to be patient on April 20, 21, and 26, May 4, 11, 12, and 17, while you will give your best on April 23, 27, and May 2, 6, and 16.
Flexibility training
While this may not be the best month of the year, it certainly is compared to the period between February and March, which saw the opposition of Mars plus that of your Mercury , which was also in retrograde phase . Now, with Mercury back in your support and only Venus dissonant, you have a phase of relative relaxation ahead of you, one you must defend to recover your mental and physical energy and organize your thoughts. You have, however, accumulated some fatigue, but it has been above all confusion that has disturbed you, with unexpected events, doubts, and problems that may not be serious but are ongoing and difficult to manage. In fact, if there's one thing that bothers and tires you, it's precisely the lack of control, when events involve you but have no control over them: neither about the causes nor, unfortunately, the ability to address or resolve them. Dependence on others, on their approaches or rhythms, is always stressful for people like you, but being entirely dependent on unspecified circumstances, on unknowns and ever-changing variables, can be profoundly destabilizing. It's also true that certain experiences are almost inevitable, from time to time and for everyone, and they also serve as training in flexibility, improvisation, and adaptability... In this sense, the past few months have had something to offer, not just a lot to take away or ask for: a usefulness that's only partly compensatory, but still worth recognizing, exploiting, even appreciating. The fact remains that the relief of having overcome them is absolutely legitimate!
The pitfalls of boredom
Mercury 's trine will accompany you for a couple of weeks, from May 3rd to 17th, allowing you to regain a clear and concrete view of your commitments, completing ongoing tasks and organizing your priorities. This is a good time for those traveling, studying, and those dealing with exams, competitions, and interviews. Certain legal or business negotiations may also find a solution, or at least progress in the right direction. Several matters will be resolved after having stalled recently due to disagreements or bureaucratic bottlenecks! Residual bad feelings should be taken into account in collaborative relationships; perhaps it's a good idea to better define the boundaries of your respective duties to avoid overlaps or interference, which in themselves are annoying and distracting. Even in romantic relationships, there may be issues to clarify, resentments not fully resolved, misunderstandings that linger in the background and can resurface, exacerbated, even for trivial reasons. Even for the sake of peace and quiet, to avoid unpleasant arguments, you might prefer not to broach sensitive topics, but it's not worth dragging out misunderstandings: better to talk, listen, explain, offer or accept apologies if necessary... and forget about it! To revitalize your relationship, it might also be helpful to incorporate new experiences, share original initiatives, perhaps break away from your routine more often to spend time with different people or places. Remember that routine seems reassuring, but if it becomes rigid, it easily hides the pitfalls of boredom.
First decade
On April 26th, Uranus begins its square , and Venus joins it from the 24th until May 2nd. These days could bring changes, especially in your work relationships or, more importantly, in your relationship: new acquaintances, proposals, and stimuli. Singles may encounter particularly significant encounters, but in general, the desire and need for change will be evident.
Second decade
Jupiter ends its sextile on May 8th, but from that day until the 12th, you can count on Mercury 's trine . Meanwhile, Venus is dissonant from the 2nd to the 10th. This is an interesting time for new experiences and acquaintances, perhaps even travel. However, you shouldn't neglect your partner, but involve them as much as possible in your activities, interests, and projects.
Third decade
Mercury is in trine from May 12th to 17th, Venus in square from the 10th to the 19th. On the 8th, Jupiter begins its sextile , which will accompany you until the end of June. In every relationship, whether work-related or friendship-related, but especially in a romantic relationship, it's important to dedicate time and attention to dialogue, to prevent small grudges from building up or turning into resentment.
