Mercury and Uranus are conjunct in your sign which shows that big changes are in store for you this month.  May 4nd Mercury stations direct and will give you the keen ability to voice your opinions in clear and precise ways that will contribute to these changes. A trine with Saturn adds flavor to the cause by giving you the resources to do your homework so you can make the best decisions. This is a time for change in status, money, career and love.  Yes, I just said “Love”. Venus is working in your Sign, Aries, and even though it’s retrograde it is beginning to slow down, getting ready for the move forward in June.  Relationships have been strained over the past few months and now it is time to put them back on track. As the love planet starts to move slower you will have the strength and compassion to also move slower and make good choices.  Harmonious friendships are a must for you especially as this month progresses and you will not tolerate anything less.
