Time for your friend and mine, the planet Mercury to turn retrograde. Two words that send shivers down some people's spines while others take a nonchalant attitude.
When is this Mercury Retrograde?
This year, Mercury retrogrades in the Earth signs, and from April 29th to May 23rd
It is a time when anything can happen. I find this to be a time to take it easy and reflect on life rather than try to be going full forward at a fast pace. This is what causes some people to have problems during Mercury Retrograde.
Taurus likes to know what is around the corner. It is a sign of planning with the need to feel secure and stable.
So what does this Mercury Retrograde mean?
Losing paperwork or money frequently happens during this time. Take a little extra caution and make sure you check over your finances carefully during this time.
If you think of Taurus being an earth sign, and Mercury ruling Gemini - an air sign - you can get the general idea of how this period will pan out. Astrologically, Earth and Air signs are not the most compatible of combinations.
Anything good about this Retrograde?
Of course there can be positives to a Mercury Retrograde. If you have anything that needs careful attention to detail, now is the time to look at it. Making plans for the future will prove to be very fruitful when done during the Retrograde.
Writing out what you want for your life is vital. You may find yourself exploring new thoughts and make sure you write them down so you don't forget all the things that are being sparked during this time of Mercury.
.
It is important at this time to keep your thoughts to yourself. Communication can often go awry and it's best to stick to planning.
If you are thinking of ending a relationship make sure you have all the facts and have thought this through carefully before you take any action. Remember this is a time for planning not necessarily acting on it.
It is easy to fall into arguments at this time, so if you find yourself feeling frustrated and work off their frustration with physical activity.
The new moon in Taurus on May 6th is a perfect time for a new beginning so once again get back to your planning and make those thoughts count!.
If you like to work with the moon energy then remember the full moon occurs on May 21st. use this full moon energy to help push those plans you have been making.
Remember you do not have to hide under the bed until Mercury passes. Think things through carefully and do your planning for the year and you will have a wonderful transition into the next phase of this year.
