SLOW AND STEADY WHEN MERCURY RIDES THE BULL….Mercury enters Taurus on 2-3 May. Mercury in this Fixed, Earth sign can be associated with common sense, down-to-earth thinking and practical intelligence with an eye on security and self-worth issues. When contrasted in the natal chart, he could turn narrow-minded, stubborn, inflexible and suspicious of new ideas and theories. In all cases he takes his time to make decisions but once made they usually become irrevocable.
Mercury transits are fast. During the planet’s stay in Taurus the speed will be extra fast at 2°+ per day so the following aspects will last less than a day.
There are a couple of contacts with the outer planets during Mercury’s stay in Taurus:
05 May: square to an almost stationary Pluto (Pluto SR on 6 May – 05°30’ Taurus-Aquarius) – we might be forced to take a look inside ourselves in order to better understand what is happening in our society and this make become an obsession for some.
12-13 May: sextile Jupiter (20°45’ Taurus-Cancer) – an opportunity to search for meaning and also for preaching, the latter could make us look rather pig-headed.
Taurus rules the 2nd house in traditional astrology and so it regards all things connected to our value system, not only our monetary and material comforts but also our self-esteem.
“Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.” John de Paola
