Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
Mercury (the wing-footed Hermes) retrogrades this Thursday, at 23 degrees Taurus (from April 28 till May 22). Mercury retrogrades in Taurus, sign of values, resources, investments (time, money), possessions. Mercury retro has us rethinking, reassessing, re-evaluating, reviewing values, money and possessions. What, where and how are they? During Mercury retro humanity, events and all of earth’s kingdoms collectively enter into retreat (except for those born with Mercury retrograde).
As Mercury governs our thinking, communication, interactions, transportation, when retro (moving in reverse), there’s confusion, everything works backwards, sideways or not at all. Communication can become garbled, mail may be lost, messages never received. Everyone’s driving without thinking, looking in a rear-view mirror, and concentrating on inner realities. With Mercury retro we do not move forward easily, destination routes are obstructed and all actions must be re-thought-out, re-done, re-kindled, re-worked, re-assessed, re-envisioned and re-arranged. It is a time for all words beginning with “re” (meaning to do it again).
During Mercury (and all retrogrades) we’re forced into an interval of doing things differently, a lull to rest and recuperate in. It’s good to consciously make use of Mercury’s three weeks of retrograde. To consider the retro as sanctuary, haven of quietude and place of refuge Businesses need to think this way. But this new way of thinking and utilizing the energies of the planets and stars, understanding their relationships with us, must begin first with each individual.
Mercury retrograde actually creates a time of mental relief. When it begins, Mercury is alerting us that our minds are filled to capacity with information gathered (Gemini task) since the last Mercury retro. Mercury retro gives us time to review, assess, order and organize (Virgo tasks – Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo) mental information, making room for new information offered the next three months (till the next Mercury retro).
Things different and magical occur when Mercury retrogrades. We have revelations (under Taurus, illuminations & enlightenment) which allow for deep inner understandings of self and what we value. Mercury is the mind, the “illuminating principle” in our lives. Mercury is the Messenger. Always offering us the “Raincloud of Knowable Things.”
