From April 3rd to June 10th, the planet of communication, Mercury, moves through the steady, stable, practical sign of Taurus. This is going to be a long Mercury transit thanks to a three-week Mercury retrograde from April 21st to May 14th. Taurus slows down thinking and communication of all forms to ensure that we take a practical approach. Common sense is encouraged, but we will have to be careful about rigid, stubborn thinking that limits our perspective.
Mercury In Taurus: Practical Thinking For The Win
With Mercury in Taurus, a practical mindset is encouraged. Taurus energy slows down the mental faculties and communication which allows us to think about what we’re going to say before we say it. Much of our thought processes will be focused on practical solutions as well as a thorough consideration of our own resources and foundations. Given that Taurus is an earth sign that is connected to finances, we are advised to direct our attention to our current financial status with an aim of taking a practical approach to solidifying our resources for the long term. Mercury in Taurus provides a solid base from which to make decisions and also offers the ability to communicate from a logical space.
Mercury in Taurus stabilizes the mind. This is especially beneficial for those that deal with a lot of anxiety and mental stress. Taurus energy doesn’t like feeling rushed or upset, so a major theme of this transit is adopting a more peaceful, laid-back approach especially when it comes to thinking and communicating. Mercury in Taurus encourages us to adopt a perspective that is stable, practical, and deeply grounded. If we should find that we are mentally anxious at this time, take a note from Mercury in Taurus and take a step back to slowly process. Don’t feel pressured to come to a conclusion, share a perspective, and/or communicate. We will come to a conclusion eventually….but only after much practical consideration. This approach takes away the instability that causes mental confusion and stress.
Using Common Sense
Under the Mercury in Taurus transit, common sense is advantageous. Thoughts of fancy and extravagant ideas and concepts are traded in for a sound, practical approach. Our perspective sees reality for what it is, making it easier to make solid, grounded decisions. We connect the dots based on what makes practical sense instead of what we would like something to be. Mercury in Taurus reminds us if it doesn’t make sense, there’s no point in considering an idea or concept. If all else fails, take the path of common sense and realistic thinning during the Mercury in Mercury transit.
Sticking To The Traditional
While Mercury transits Taurus, traditional thinking, concepts, and ideas are favored. We will stick with what we know instead of considering the new. To be honest, this is not the most innovative, open-minded placement. If anything, it supports traditional values and perspectives that include opting for what is grounded, familiar, and secure. The fixed nature of Mercury in Taurus will have us preferring our own perspectives that support our stability and security as well as perspectives that confirm our thoughts. When communicating, conversations that support common values and perspectives are of interest.
A Focused & Patient Mind
The mental stability and focus of Mercury in Taurus are one of the greatest benefits of this transit. Taurus provides steadfast focus and concentration when combined with Mercury. This combination creates a tunnel vision that allows us to focus intently to the exclusion of external influences. If we have been distracted lately, Mercury in Taurus offers deep concentration and steadfast mental perspective, and energy to finish up important projects with practical thoroughness.
An Upcoming Mercury Retrograde
The slow, considerate nature of Mercury in Taurus is amplified with an upcoming Mercury in retrograde in Taurus from April 21st to May 14th. If there was ever a time to think thoroughly before we communicate, it’s during this Mercury retrograde. This not only includes speaking but all types of communication. Whether we’re talking, texting, or even posting to social media, a good rule of thumb to follow during Mercury retrograde in Taurus is to ask ourselves if what we are about to communicate makes sense. Is it practical? If not, it would be best not to communicate at all.
Another aspect of the Mercury retrograde in Taurus is the review of our finances and resources. This is an excellent time to get our finances in order and consider how we can make ourselves financially secure once Mercury goes direct on May 15th in Taurus. Now is not a good time to start new financial ventures or take on new debts and financial responsibilities. Instead, this energy is best for reviewing where we are financially and considering how we can implement solid financial investments in the future.
Just remember that with Mercury retrograde in Taurus, there is no rush. Even if it takes a while to come to a conclusion, it is best to take a slow, steadfast, practical approach. We may find that the information that we receive at this time does not make sense, so we are encouraged to slow down and consider carefully to ensure that our perspective is solid and supports our security.
Some Mercury In Taurus Precautions
As with any transit, there are some considerations for the Mercury in Taurus transit. Because this transit is all about taking the practical, tried, and true approach, this can lead to getting stuck in specific thinking patterns that are not always beneficial to us. Being mentally stubborn and unwilling to consider thoughts and concepts that challenge our traditional ways of thinking is likely. While we are encouraged to use this energy to thoroughly consider the most practical approach for ourselves, it is important to also realize that our perspectives aren’t the only valid ones. Beware of rigid thinking that leads to oversimplification and the adoption of narrow-minded views.
Ultimately, Mercury in Taurus offers us the opportunity to slow down our thinking and communication faculties for our benefit. This energy offers a dose of common sense that allows us to make solid determinations after thorough consideration. We just have to be aware of being too rigid and stuck in our own ways under this transit.
