MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN TAURUS 14-15 MAY 2023

MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT IN TAURUS 

Mercury will station direct at 5°50 Taurus (antiscion 24°10’ Leo) on the 14-15^th May depending upon where you find yourself in the world.

When Mercury retrogrades in an Earth sign we often ask ourselves what the tangible results of our life might be. Security matters and practical concerns seem to be often on our minds. Perhaps you’ve been looking for new possibilities or new ways of earning money during this period or again, perhaps you have just been too self-critical considering all the pros and cons of any major decision you might have wanted to make and now the retrograde period is over you can go ahead with those plans.

Sometimes when our personal chart is affected by the retrograde period we find ourselves bogged down or held up for some reason with things going haywire no matter how carefully we plan them. Other times hold-ups just seem to happen from nowhere and technical objects break down without warning.

Have you personally experienced any of the above during this retrograde period?

The Sabian symbol for the direct station at 6°Taurus: “Cantilever bridge across a deep gorge.” Indicating the conquest of separateness through group cooperation.

For the antiscion at 25° Leo: “A large camel is seen crossing a vast and forbidding desert.” Indicating self-sufficiency in the face of a long and exhausting adventure.

How was this Mercury retrograde for you?
