Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
Our dear old friend is back. We know it, we fear it, we need to understand it. There’s so much fuss around this event but it isn’t for no reason. Mercury retro causes mishaps, delays, setbacks, frustrations and slow downs. If we educate ourselves and get prepared not only will we survive but we can create opportunities to thrive during this time. Thankfully we will only have 3 Mercury Retrogrades this year, last year we had four and, personally, they were INTENSE.
This year all but 1 of our Mercury retrogrades will be in Earth signs. So, what does that mean? On April 21st Mercury will go retrograde under the sign of Taurus. With the shadow period we will begin to experience and feel this as early as the 7th. Taurus is ruled by Venus and is associated with luxury, indulgence, beauty, love, money and comfort. When we have a Mercury retrograde under this energy our relationship with how we care for ourselves will brought into sharp focus. With all of these Earthy Mercury Retrogrades you can expect your relationship with money to be up for scrutiny and examination.
We may find we are pushed out of our comfort zones in April. This leads to growth and expansion and new ideas. We will be feeling the urge to explore creative money making ideas. For some, you may be forced out of a comfortable job but this could be a launching point for new beginnings in your professional life. Our friendships and love life will also be heavy on our noggins. Anyone or anything that is holding you back has got to go. Mercury retrogrades are a great time for cord cuttings which are used to free you from any toxic attachments whether that be your own bad habits, negative energy, or cutting the cord between you and a person or situation causing you harm giving you the ability to take your power back.
As for navigating the retrograde as efficiently as possible I highly advise getting a retrograde reading . I have crafted two very useful products to help us navigate this time, check out my Retrograde Rescue Spray and my Communication Anointing Oil . Both the spray and oil were developed to help you through Mercury Retrograde, and the oil is also a communication oil.
