Taurus: April 21-May 21
May 16-31: Aspects near the 20th are good ones for you both for getting just rewards at work and stabilizing emotional attachments.

Confusion near the 23rd leads to new understandings so speak up and pin down details before Mercury turns tail on the 29th and be ready to assert your rights on the 31st.
