General
The New Moon on the 5th could coincide with your private life on display uncomfortably. With your status in others' eyes heightened, you could feel there's too much potential for emotional exposure on your part. It would be worth considering what can be done to ensure you're not made to feel vulnerable unnecessarily. Mercury influences career and business matters from the 17th until May 6, enhancing your ability to communicate professionally – and authoritatively. A Full Moon on the 19th brings closure to focus given during recent weeks to career goals or public matters. It's now time to shift your focus to personal and emotional matters.

Love & Romance
This month, you could assess how or why your relationships seem to follow the same course. Perhaps, you keep making the same mistakes or are attracted to the same types of people. However, whether single or attached, coming weeks offer you a chance to examine past patterns to see what you can change to improve your future. You also have a chance to address issues surrounding openness or vulnerability on your or a loved one's part. You know what barriers exist to forming or strengthening a deep and meaningful connection but rather than believe a loved one is entirely to blame for these, try instead to understand why you react or respond in ways you do. This is a month where being honest with yourself and what you need from affairs of the heart could prove revealing and enlightening.

Cancerians are good at nurturing. Ruled by the Moon, they make great parents, and can be selfless when it comes to making sacrifices for their families. Cancerians are also shrewd judges of character, and give useful advice. They are quick to offer a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on, followed by a warm hug. A kind, caring Cancerian is a blessing in times of crisis. Cancerians love food, and spoiling the people they love. Family comes first with Cancerians, but even when they have little or no family of their own, they will create a family atmosphere with their friends.

The trouble is that they tend to get addicted to the role of nurturer, and find it hard to let go when loved ones need to stand on their own feet. Make sure you know when to step back as well as forward, because things get really ugly when your mother love turns to smother love.
