A good day to plan for new investments -- signing up for that new computer or language course online or learning recipes on YouTube. Make an investment in your education today and reap dividends in future. Give voice to the monetary concerns that are on your mind. A maternal figure or caregiver may need assistance from you, perhaps with a repair or with some new gadget. Today both home and work will require your attention. You'll balance these demands. Spending time with family matters most to you right now. You seek to amuse, entertain, even indulge loved ones. Communicate in all ways possible, from hugs to email. While you're truly enjoying the moment, you also need to remember your duties.

Communication complications could intensify with Mercury in its first full weekend retrograde. A simple misunderstanding could spiral into a major conflict if you’re too forceful in your approach. Is it possible that someone is embroidering the truth? Dive beneath the surface to uncover what’s really going on. This situation will likely clear up by May 14, when Mercury finally resumes forward motion. But until that date, you may need to do a little detective work to get the REAL story. Then again, you might lure the truth right out of people by being transparent yourself. With the moon in Gemini all weekend, you’ve definitely got a way with words. So if you want to butter people up, you certainly can. Just make sure those compliments are genuine!
