You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar this Saturday, so, uh, don't hate...pollinate! Spread sunshine by giving people genuine compliments and sharing happy news with friends. It's easy to fall into the habit of venting when you get together with friends, but these "cathartic" conversations can bring down the mood. With Saturday's uplifting Venus-Saturn trine, start some new traditions, like going around the brunch table and sharing your greatest hits of the week, or skipping the Bloody Marys and doing something active instead. It's hard to feel down when you're riding a bike...or roller-skating! Although you might not feel like your most vocal self this Mother’s Day, that could change late Sunday once Mercury pivots into direct motion, blazing an adventurous trail through Taurus until June 11. Enough ruminating! For the past three weeks, Mercury has been retrograde in your sign, making you introspective about what the future holds. Dreaming up scenarios in your head will never help you fully predict real-world results. Beginning immediately, put some action behind those thoughts and you will create a swell of positive momentum in your life. Also, it's safe to speak your truth again—no filters required.
