You have a lot of worries on your mind, perhaps concerning work as well as family. Continue to work hard and your efforts will set you apart from the competition you find yourself in. Embarking on some new training will also assist you in your work. Avoid being drawn into unnecessary disputes. Stay the course and you will fare well. You're full of energy and work is rewarding. Results feel effortless, though of course you are working hard. You're buoyant and eager to be with family. Alliances, both professional and social, may soon be established. Listen to those that seek to help and ignore detractors.

Before you officially launch into your weekend, get that big idea out of your head and on to paper. After weaving in and out of Aries since March 3, analytical Mercury makes its annual beeline for Taurus and your second house of financial planning. Seeds planted starting Saturday could sprout quickly and take root by May 25. In the sign of the Bull, the mercurial planet helps you build a solid foundation and make sure the numbers add up before you take step one. If you’re in the market for a new job or freelance gig, talk to your social network first. Word of mouth is always the best referral. The moon is in Scorpio on Sunday, Mother's Day, which can set things off on the emotionally intense side. Plan your activities accordingly to prevent drama and to keep everyone, especially the mamas, happy. Casual celebrations that don’t require a ton of fuss might down more smoothly this year—just make sure you bring in a few of the special touches, like favorite desserts and mocktails, that elevate the day.
