There is no shortage of resources
The Sun transits in square in the tenth field in Taurus , where it joins the New Moon on May 16th. Venus is also in Taurus until April 24th, after which it moves into sextile in the eleventh field in Gemini where it will remain until May 19th. Mercury and Mars continue their trines in the ninth field in Aries , until May 3rd and 18th respectively, then both enter Taurus . Among the slower-moving planets, only Pluto in Aquarius is opposite the first decan; the same decan is in fact supported by the trine of Neptune in Aries and (from April 26th) by the sextile of Uranus in Gemini . Saturn , also in Aries , is in trine to the first decan until May 8th, then begins to affect the second. All in all, you are not lacking in resources, despite some more demanding days, such as May 1st, 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th. The best days will be April 20, 25, and 28, and May 5, 13, 17, and 18.
Think before you act
Mercury will be in square from May 3rd to 17th; at the same time, however, you can count on the support of Mars (in trine until the 18th) and Venus (in sextile until the 19th). Naturally, these are different transits, with equally different meanings and functions, so it's not trivial to assume they'll offset each other. However, it's likely they'll be perceived more or less strongly, both due to their possible objective manifestations and your subjective sensitivity. Therefore, the Mars trine in Aries could easily take center stage, due to the energy of Fire in harmony with your element and the very nature of the planet, which tends to act in a direct, decisive, and visible manner. It will be quite easy for Venus to fit into these dynamics, through the energy of the sign it occupies ( Gemini ), which expresses itself in a particularly lively and communicative manner. However, the uncertainty of dissonant Mercury remains, especially in a static sign like Taurus , which could weigh on your flexibility, your ability to compare, and your foresight. In short, even if your instincts are strong, your emotions and feelings are intense, and your desire to do is as strong as your desire to receive... it doesn't mean your ideas are clear enough to guide your behavior in the right direction. To avoid mistakes, it's therefore advisable to keep haste, impulsiveness, and overconfidence under control, at least by making an effort to think a little more before saying or doing something important.
More intimacy
As I mentioned above, the energy of Mars will be noticeable this month. At work, you'll be motivated, ambitious, bold, and determined to assert yourself. For this reason, you'll tend to appear particularly confident in proposing your initiatives, interacting cordially with colleagues but engaging in little discussion. That is, differing opinions or more cautious approaches could annoy you, and any criticism will irritate you even more. This is because you'll feel slowed down in your operations and somewhat diminished in your self-esteem. But these would only be emotional reactions, lacking reasoning, whereas an open and constructive exchange would allow you to test your ideas and perhaps correct or improve them, without fundamentally altering them or denying their undoubted value. In short, pride can sometimes be an obstacle for you, and during this period it risks exposing you to errors of judgment or behavior that would otherwise be easily avoidable. This applies to some extent to your personal life as well. Social and romantic relationships are certainly encouraged by Mars and Venus , but they deserve greater openness. You'll enjoy doing things together, sharing experiences and even important future plans, but you'll be less open to authentic, truly intimate, and profound dialogue. At least with close friends or your partner, making an effort to talk and listen more will be enough to restore intimacy, strengthen the bond, and prevent or resolve minor misunderstandings that, conversely, silence could turn into insidious misunderstandings.
First decade
Venus is in sextile from April 24th to May 2nd, but Mercury will be in square from May 3rd to 8th. The first few weeks will likely be more peaceful, ideal for enjoying your free time or traveling with friends or your partner. Later, especially at work, be careful because something (or someone) could get in your way. Think carefully before making decisions.
Second decade
Mercury is in trine from April 21st to 27th, Mars from April 22nd to May 5th. Venus also gives you its sextile from May 2nd to 10th, while Saturn itself moves into trine from the 8th. This is a more effective period for you, during which the alliance between thought and action will be fruitful and the results will be satisfying. Take advantage of this if you have important discussions to handle or make proposals or requests.
Third decade
Between May 5th and 18th, you'll still be supported by Mars , as well as by Venus between the 10th and 19th. Mercury on the other hand, is in square from the 12th to the 17th: these are just a few days, but you'll need to be cautious, especially when it comes to financial decisions or in negotiations and more delicate discussions. If possible, postpone; or at least seek advice from experts.
