HAVE YOUR CHAINS SHARPENED INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM—INLCUDES PROCESSOR CHAINS

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication has finally moved into your sign where it will stay until 26th May. One way or another you have likely been frustrated at things being held up since early March. It has given you plenty of time to contemplate your position so now it should be quite easy to move forward with decisions.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
The time has come, from now to late May, for you to focus on your commitments or those you are willing to take on. This may have kept changing since early March but now things will move forward. This does not necessarily mean you have to fully respond to someone else’s expectations. See how this could affect the next 2 years.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
The Full Moon this week occurs in your own sign. This can generate much recognition when it comes to other people. You could realise just how rebellious they can be or they may start to see what you are really all about in some way. It could be to their benefit to enter into discussions with you to late May when it comes to any commitments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
It will be easier to know in your own mind what needs to be set in place to late May after hold ups or matters continuously changing since early March. This could bring up some challenges between you and others. It is a matter of standing your ground in situations you feel need to be transformed. You do have the greater power so stick to your guns.
GEMINI (May 21
-June 20)
What needs to be brought to an end or let go, could suddenly become obvious, especially when it comes to long term future. You may finally realise the amount of detail or work involved on a regular basis. There will be information to contemplate to late May so don’t be tempted to make decisions on the spur of the moment this week
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
You can now put your mind to the more long term plans or goals to late May after what has probably been a lot of distraction from others since early March. Once you start looking into things you may realise the finer details need to be carefully considered. You will not want to get into something that controls you rather than you controlling it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
There is a lot building up behind the scenes that could bring the need for some unexpected changes when it comes to usual routines. Your focus will need to be on detail to late May. This could be tied up into putting more energy into the directions you want to take in the long term. Getting more information might be necessary. .
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Your thoughts can turn towards what needs to be a priority. This could be generated by what has gone on, either with obligations or dealing with those who have authority since early March. Too much may be expected of you and this could be highly frustrating right now but there will be no benefit in acting too quickly
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct.22)
Anything that relies on open communication from somebody else may become difficult to ascertain to late May, especially if it has been hard to get definite answers since early March. What can become clear is how something on the financial side could grow. You need to ensure it will be to your benefit rather than expense though.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
You could be freed up from situations that have been very changeable since early March when it comes to getting things settled into a routine you feel comfortable about. This could also include home and family matters. Greater activity on the social side may come into play to late May. Take advantage and enjoy it while you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
There can be no doubt about work that needs to be done in some way. You will see it clearly and you need to put your energies into getting it done. This could lead to changing normal routines for the better. If you have been slack when it comes to taking care of yourself, now would be a good time to get that under better control.
ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
It could be time to take a closer look at your finances due to whatever you have been doing in life since early March. Consider what is more important in life rather than the things you might find more enjoyable. You are heading towards a major new cycle in May that will demand more responsibility, so a littlestartnowwon’thurt.
