Mercury in Taurus is SOOO GOOD for these zodiac signs

Which signs, you ask? Read on the find out...

     Get ready to ground yourself in practicality and indulge in some earthy communication because Mercury, the planet of the mind, has entered the steadfast sign of Taurus. From now (May 15) thru June 3, 2024, the planet of communication moves through the slow-and-steady earth sign, reducing the speed and urgency of your thoughts, writing, and messages. So, if ever there was a time to take it (somewhat) easy, it’s the next three weeks.

     Stop and smell the roses is definitely a Mercury in Taurus idiom. Mercury is usually all about go-go-going—and that has especially been the case with Mercury moving through fast-moving fire sign Aries for the past 500 years (The planet entered Aries in early March, stationed retrograde in the sign in early April, then finally stationed direct in late April)—but in Taurus, Mercury is like, “Let’s slow things down. Let’s enjoy the process. Let’s build upon one of the many frenzied ideas, and see where that takes us.” 

     During this transit, your thoughts become more concrete and grounded, and you may find yourself paying more attention to practical matters such as finances, security, and physical comforts. Taurus encourages you to trust your instincts and rely on your senses to navigate the world around you. This is a time for practical problem-solving, building solid foundations, and taking a slow and steady approach to decision-making.

     And for all my fiction writers out there: this is a time to focus on fleshing out the sensory details of your stories—the soft timbre of your character’s voice, the delicate blue of the early-setting sun, the way the air smells in early June…Get poetically practical with your descriptions! (Shakespeare is said to have been born under this pragmatic earth sign.)

     On the downside, Mercury in Taurus can sometimes lead to stubbornness and resistance to change. Taurus is a fixed sign known for its reluctance to adapt to new circumstances, and Mercury in Taurus may exacerbate this tendency. It's important to remain open-minded and flexible during this transit, as rigidity can hinder your ability to grow and evolve.

     Overall, Mercury in Taurus is a time for practical thinking, clear communication, and building solid foundations for the future. By embracing the grounded energy of Taurus, you can make steady progress towards your goals and ensure long-term success and stability. And while everyone will feel the effects of this subtle shift (and Gemini / Virgo will really feel it because Mercury is their ruling planet), Mercury in Taurus is SO GOOD for the following zodiac signs:
