MERCURY, now direct since May 3rd, returned to the sign of Taurus to make its highly focused and concentrated complete transit yesterday, May 16th, at 12:07 AM EDT ... for those of you that need a refresher course on what this energy has the potential to produce here are the details:
Mercury began its initial transit through Taurus back on March 31st before beginning its first full retrograde journey for 2017, even though technically it was the second time Mercury has been retrograde this year, and on April 9th began its retrograde journey and returned to the sign of Aries on April 20th where it would complete its retrograde journey this time around ... other than that, Mercury was last in Taurus from April 5th through June 12th, 2015 ... a longer than normal transit but due to its second retrograde journey for 2015 which was completely in the sign of Taurus !!!
Our mode of thinking and communicating now shifts for a second time this year from the rapid fire energy of Aries into the slower and more methodical energy of Taurus ... the keyword for this energy is "factual" ... here the mind and tongue work deliberately and steadily with the tendency to sometimes get stuck in mental ruts ... this energy can be highly practical and grounded ... business skills or any activity that incorporates the use of common sense usually accompanies this energy ... often there can be learning through tactile contact or actual physical manipulation of the world ... perceptions can often be limited due to a desire to learn slowly and carefully ... there is a desire to bring ideas down to earth, and there are usually interests in money, sensuality and physical comfort ...

Mercury in Taurus loves to read - ANYTHING !!! ... time is taken in order to arrive at all decisions ... this Mercury likes to "sleep on it" and needs solid, tangible, physical proof in order to really believe in anything ... the thought pattern is developed in terms of worth thus making "value" the ultimate selling point ... there is usually an excellent memory bestowed by this mercurial energy and it makes one a good observer but ironically one is apt to listen inattentively as their mind is almost always already made up and will rarely be changed !!! ... even though there is a love of reading, it is ultimately realized that experience teaches one the most valuable lessons in life ...
Mercury in Taurus teaches us to think through stabilization ... it's all about the concrete mind - SEEING IS BELIEVING !!! ... the mind here likes to chew things over and over in order to acquire a true depth of knowledge ... and frequently because this energy takes longer to reach a decision, opportunities may be missed ... this energy has its definite likes and dislikes ... there is more of a taste for the traditional rather than the abstract and the avant-garde, and one finds it is steady working habits that produce thorough and solid results ... ultimately there is a gift given here to see how any plan will work out in physical terms ... the energy of Mercury in Taurus can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: sound mind, thorough, patient, cautious, shrewd, resourceful, sensible, realistic, good concentration, mentally sure, deliberating, practical thinker, sense of form, steady mind, enduring, mentally laid-back, docile, undemanding
NEGATIVE: slow minded, plodding, tardy, guarded, mean-minded, money-grubbing, boneheaded, one-track-minded, overburdened, limited thinker, stubborn mind, lazy-minded, dumb, misses the point, couch potato
Mercury now joins the Sun which is currently transiting through the sign of Taurus until this Saturday, May 20th ...
Mercury will complete its full transit through the sign of Taurus on Tuesday, June 6th ...
Taurus born individuals, once again are you beginning to feel the tempo picking up in your thinking and communicating somewhat even though earth signs tend to slow things down somewhat by nature ??? ... now is your chance - along with the rest of us - to get a lot accomplished and get our minds "anchored" to a firmer foundation of rational and practical thinking with this earth energy !!!
