Beware of

Aries

Aries is going to test your patience severely this month. With Mercury conjunct Chiron in Aries on May 1 there is a lot of impulsive and raw communication happening. You carefully plan every single step and analyze all the details before making a move. Aries just jumps right in without looking and expects everything to work out perfectly. This careless approach will make you very anxious and critical. Aries will hate your tendency to nitpick and will feel like you are always trying to ruin their fun. You will feel exhausted trying to clean up the messes they leave behind. They are moving way too fast for you and their loud brash energy disrupts your peaceful organized world. There is a huge lack of understanding between your careful nature and their reckless spirit. It is best to avoid working on projects together to save yourself a massive headache.
