The sensual, full-bodied voice of Taurus reminds us of what we've been missing - earthly delights! Some Mercury retro cycles are like a vacation, and this one brings you to creature comforts.

This is a slow Mercury, but one that savors the sensations along the way. Taurus takes its sweet time, so be prepared to stop and smell the gardenias! Since Mercury travels with the Sun, this retro happens in Spring, when all of nature is in its fragrant bloom. Memories can be evoked now, through the senses, in a way that takes you right there, like you're re-living a moment. Venus rules Taurus, so old lovers could reappear. You also remember what you love to do, what makes life worth living.

Taurus has its mind on security, so this heightens the need to stabilize finances, a living situation or work. Something could come up to show where you've got to put substance to your vision. You might realize you've got to hone your craft, gain new skills or brush up on old ones. What's best to avoid? It's wise to hold back from new ventures, especially if you sense you're possibly winging it, or may be skipping steps to save time.
