You may feel like the mythical Tantalus nowadays. The gods punished him by placing him in a pool of water with branches laden with fruit hanging overhead. It sounds rather bucolic except that he was also incredibly thirsty and hungry. Every time he bent over to drink, the water would mysteriously sink lower and whenever he reached up to eat, the branches recoiled from his fingers. You may also be feeling like your goals are tantalizingly close but remain just beyond your grasp. Mercury is squaring Neptune, the planet of illusion, right now which also means you may not be the best judge of matters. You will want to wait for the effects to clear on June 3. This is when you could discover that you’re a lot closer than you think.
