On the 16th, Mercury moves into Aries, suggesting that you wear two hats in any career, public, or social situation. You're asked to pick up the slack for someone who can't handle the pressure or the effort anymore. And you do an excellent job, no matter how busy you are. The Sun moves into Cancer-friendly Taurus on the 19th, emphasizing your goals, hopes, affiliations, community work, and aspirations. Are you living your dream? A New Moon in Taurus occurs on the 21st, marking two weeks of soul searching, digging for answers about what you really want and who you really are. This may involve disengaging from certain people that have held you back (at least in your mind). Keep in mind that you'll be shuffling and reshuffling the relationship deck during the next 12 years. Get comfortable with this reality. On the 22nd, your creativity and joie de vivre is spontaneous and powerful! You let yourself off the leash and work a miracle or two. If you've felt stymied and couldn't find the words, style, answers, etc, you're in a great position now to have everything you need at your fingertips. The 23rd continues this trend and finds you working harder than usual. You're intensely interested in a mystery, or even a bit of family history. Avoid difficult whiners and people that pick fights for a living on the 25th. Who needs the grief? On the 29th, you end the month feeling a lot stronger and smarter than you did on April Fools' Day. And you are. Monthly touchstone: Australian Black Opal.
