An opportunity to take a short journey away from home may be on the way. You may be accompanied by a caregiver or sibling. Take care to communicate effectively now, whether through email, phone or text. Being a good listener is key. Exercise restraint and control your temper to protect recent gains. Your emotions rule your head and family matters may outweigh work concerns. A return to the past may summon nostalgia. You may feel moody and insecurity. Take time for yourself to think, rethink and solve internal problems.Your desire for change is stimulated now. This is a moment in when you may act on a whim, or you could encounter something surprising. Nobody can force you to do anything just now, you are only in the mood to do things voluntarily. Allow for many possibilities, put few restrictions on projects, keep your options open, and expect the unexpected.

Family: The source of your greatest comfort—or just another “f” word, Aquarius? Things could be a little dicey starting today, as communication planet Mercury turns retrograde in your domestic fourth house until May 14. Interactions with relatives, especially female ones, may be filled with more tension than ease. This is actually a good time to peer beneath the surface and decide whether a simmering resentment is worth bringing up. If so, be diplomatic (and forgiving) and take the first step toward resolving it openly. If you find yourself thwarted in any projects, put them on hold until late next month—if possible!
