Mercury, the planet of communication, perception and how we take in new information is moving into the sign of Taurus today, Sunday, May 13th, 2018 thru Tuesday, May 29, 2018. Mercury’s brief stay in the sign, along with a New Moon in Taurus at 24 degrees, Uranus’ entry into Taurus and Mars moving into Aquarius (heading toward its first of 3 squares with Uranus!), all occurring on Tuesday May 15th, 2018; this Mercury transition will not be your typical Mercury in Taurus experience. Mercury thinks while Venus ruled Taurus expresses in a way practical, thorough, and patient way with an element of security and pleasure seeking to it. But, with the Moon, Uranus and Mars in the picture, this will be the Mercury in Taurus bull who gets stung by the proverbial bee and it forced to move!!! Mercury will inhabit more of an awakened and action oriented expression.
During this time, expect sudden insights into how we may want to create change in our lives. Typically, Taurus will take its time implementing change; employing common sense and practicality to gauge its next move while sometimes experiencing challenge in letting go of routine and that which is familiar. But Uranus and Mars will be urging us to move to act on new ideas; especially involving Mercury in Taurus related thoughts around finances, work, and relationships that will emerge at this time. Mercury in Taurus can communicate with Venusian influenced kindness, calmness, and pleasantry. But, this Mercury in Taurus time may be an exception to the rule with outbursts of freedom seeking and change oriented communication. Mercury in Taurus says “keep things the same” and doubles down on its perspective, while Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus say “let’s make change!” We can expect awakening to new insight and less difficulty taking the necessary action. By the end of the month, with the Full Moon in Sagittarius at 8 degrees, on Tuesday, May 29th, 2018, we will have a more expanded and inspired perspective of our needs related to what we want in life.
During this Mercury in Taurus time, look for new perspective around mental blocks and challenges in your life. Now is the time to figure out practical solutions that ultimately align you with our truest desires. Jealously, stubbornness, possessiveness and inertia can be Taurus challenges, but Uranus and Mars will help create a level of detachment that will allow the opportunity to move through situations with an ability to let go and invite change. Uranus in Taurus will bring new ideas around how to practically make those changes. Taking time to spend outside in nature can help to calm the energies at this time and connect us with the thoughts and ideas that align most with our needs and desires. Of course, if what we need is to ground ourselves more in the practical thinking of Mercury in Taurus, this can be a welcomed reprieve from the amped up Mercury in Aries we have been experiencing since the beginning of March 2018. Now is the time to use Mercury in Taurus to focus and manifest some of those inspired ideas from that time.
Look to planets in early degrees of Taurus and the Taurus ruled house in your chart to discover where this energy will be playing out in your life more specifically. Use this time to discover your true needs and how to communicate them.
