Observation, study and conversations with experienced individuals help you build a solid base of information that can support your growth this month. It may take a while to find your footing, though, as misty Neptune forms an unsettling quincunx with Saturn on May 2, challenging you to maintain a sense of control over your life -- especially in relationships. Mercury, the planet of details, is retrograde until May 11, which is ideal for cleaning up the past, but not shaping the future. Mercury's forward turn is followed by the New Moon in tangible Taurus and your 3rd House of Learning on May 13, which should help to solidify your ideas, as long as you can draw a clear line between facts and fantasy.
