Mercury stations retrograde in Taurus TODAY - a day after the powerful Total Solar Eclipse in Aries.

• At 15° Taurus, Mercury is pivoting on a magical, fortunate vibration.
• 15 is the number of spiritual alchemy - spreading beauty, love, joy, upliftment and abundance.

This is highly significant, especially since the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 5 will be exact at nearly 15° Taurus – at 14°58’.

So, Mercury is setting the stage before the next eclipse with a wonderful message:

• Magic is in the air. Feeling fortunate, loving and happy are your birthright.

In Taurus, Mercury retrograde will be refining your thoughts, as you consider more deeply what brings you pleasure and how you truly perceive abundance in your life.

Be prepared for unexpected shifts that set you free on a path to inviting in more beauty and pleasure.

Taurus is an Earth sign and usually calm and peaceful – so your mind will feel more at peace.

Engage frequently with nature to inspire you, connect you to the Divine and help you maintain inner harmony and grounding.

Instead of taking the fastest route from A to B – meander through the back roads.

Relax and enjoy yourself.

Mercury is retrograding in the sign that Venus rules.

Venus wants you to pause and smell the roses, enjoy the sounds of nature, listen to the birds, look up at the trees.

This is the time to appreciate life in all its forms - all that life has to offer. Notice delightful things that would normally escape your attention as you attend to the business of life.

Beauty, joy, sweetness - these make up the nectar that is nourishing you.

Allow your mind to rest. Immerse in luxurious scents, fabrics, music, art, delicious food, homemade dishes that delight you as you’re creating them, great books, anything that inspires and uplifts you – these are the realms that Mercury is inviting you to explore.

In the beginning there was sound.

Taurus rules the throat and your voice. Allow your heart to sing.

There are rhythms pulsating all around you. There are melodies resonating in people’s voices and beyond.

Listen more and talk only when stirred by inspiration.

If you feel any tightness in your throat there is something yearning to be expressed that is inhibited. Relax and breathe and allow the words to be set free.

Move from the voice in your head to the song in your heart.

Happy Mercury retrograde in Taurus!

Joyful Blessings,
