Is your intuition urging you to be bold? It may be pushing you to accept an opportunity. The question is not so much whether you can do it, but why wouldn’t you? A powerful line-up suggests that accepting this challenge could be very character building, as it will encourage personal growth. And even if daunting could soon see you aiming higher and doing very well.

This isn’t the time to hesitate – even if you do have doubts about your course of action. Your thinking may not be linked to facts as much as to baseless fears. As Mercury in a dreamy zone squares off with Mars, your emotions could lead you astray unless you can override them. Look at what’s in front of your eyes rather than what you imagine is there. The truth will set you free.

The Sun is striding into your sign, giving you the enthusiasm to focus on you, your goals and your projects. Go ahead, be delightfully selfish. Say yes to what fulfills you, not just what fills your calendar. It’s time to showcase your many talents with flair, not modesty, and to connect with fresh faces who vibe with your energy. You’re magnetic, clever and unstoppable right now.

The Sun struts into your sign, which means it’s your chance to shine. This is your cue to do what feels good, meet your needs and be a little selfish. In addition, Saturn turns a discerning eye on your social circle. You’re starting to crave depth over drama and loyalty over likes. Superficial connections just won’t do. It’s time to pare back and prioritise the people who truly show up.

You may find that people get in contact in the early part of May that you’ve not seen or been in touch with for a while. This might be to do with your work. If you work in a creative role, you can be inspired at the start of the month, and connections professionally can feed into your social life. Your ability to take the lead is much to the fore this month, but particularly once the Sun arrives in your sign on the 20th, followed by your ruler Mercury on the 26th. A gorgeous Gemini New Moon on the 27th can see significant changes start to unfold for you, with a major development on the 30th.
