Count to ten before answering because almost every request or favor will start to rub you the wrong way when Mercury enters your opposite sign on May 10th. Not only will people show a remarkable insensitivity to what's going on in your life, but they'll be mulishly thick about it. Try not to get too exasperated because you'll only meet with blank stares. Be patient and resolve to explain things more than twice. There are times when the planets in their courses make people dull-witted and this is one of them. Thankfully the lights come back on again after Mercury departs Taurus on May 25th.
