General Daily InsightMay 03, 2013We may start the day believing that everything is under control, but certainty begins to slip through our fingers when the Moon enters dreamy Pisces at 2:25 pm EDT. Fantasy gains on reality throughout the day since the Moon hooks up with nebulous Neptune later tonight. Although we might try to convince others that our thinking is sound, rational Mercury forms a connective sextile to fuzzy Neptune, turning solid facts into myths and fairy tales. - Get a Free Cosmic Profilehttp://www.tarot.com/astrology/daily/?scopeDay=20130503&displaySign=00dream state

But it won't help if you try and do everything all at once so you can be done with your work. Running off in several directions isn't efficient, even if there are many unfinished chores on your plate. Instead, scale back your efforts.

But the early morning Mercury-Saturn opposition strains communication and it feels as if satisfaction will be impossible to reach.
