The impulse to seek out challenges, confrontation and mental exhaustion quickly dissolves into a puddle of whimsy when Mercury, the planet of the mental plane, ingresses into Taurus. Our spritely messenger is on to the next zodiacal persona, of which brings the energetic ambitions of the mind to a screeching halt. Taking the time to sit and feel into new information, rather than springing into action the moment a sound bite hits the eardrum, is liberating and so needed. We’re more apt to wait for a situation to present itself in its most opportune form before taking leaps and bounds into an unsure thing. Jumping to conclusions is so last week.
Mercury will travel through the fixed earth sign for 15 days, anchoring the mind in down-to-earth pragmatism. Don’t fret if it takes significantly longer for you to communicate, integrate and intellectualize, the slowness of the bull can be significantly felt through the Mercurial processes.
Topics of interest shift towards the arts, beauty, management, consolidation, resources, land use and consumption among many other Taurean themes. There may also be less of an effort placed on aggression and conflict, and more of a focus on cultivating peaceful communication. Since the speed in which we are inclined to respond is slowed significantly, practising patience from a time management perspective can help to ease a hurried response from someone wherein they miscommunicate due to being rushed.
While Mercury is in Taurus we learn to take our time, to slow down and let the plan lead the way rather than pushing our own mental Olympics of frustrated mental waste into the fore. K.I.S.S. is the motto of the bull, Keep It Simple, Silly.
