Taurus is extremely stable energy, no need to make a big fuss over Mercury Retrograde. Plus you need to remember that these transits in the sky are only reflecting universal background themes but they don't effect everyone the same. If you have any issues with Mercury retrograde, then it's because Mercury is making a unique alignment to one of your personal planets or points. That would be the reason you might experience any kind of inconvenience from Mercury Rx, not because of the general direction.
Also, remember that planets don't actually ever move backwards, it's just an illusion from the earth's perspective. You can't say that about planet alignments, as those alignments are 100% fact, but retrogrades, however, are not. It's simply an illusion, so you can choose to run with that illusion as much or as little as you want. We are finally starting to get past the"supermoon" hype that came about the last few years, i'm still patiently awaiting for people to get a grip with the retrograde phenomenon.
With that said, this Mercury Rx phase through Taurus, in general, is about getting an opportunity to reflect on where you are mentally stuck on something in life, too stubborn to accept new ways of doing things. It's about reflecting on current resources and values in your life with a need to incorporate new perspectives. You might have to communicate some of your updated values to others. Your value system, traditional mindset and stubbornness, etc could be holding you back from manifesting the new abundance your life is ready for at this point. This Mercury Rx phase has a lot to do with reflecting on money issues, and resources of all kinds. It's time to check your updated values and see if you need to make adjustments in order to successfully move forward. However, that forward movement will be slow coming as we get a chance to reflect on some important matters first.
We need to look deep, so we can understand how to manifest new abundance into our life for 2016 and beyond. We can't manifest what's not in alignment with our current values.
Look at your chart and find where Taurus is on the cusp. This will be the area of your life (house) that gets some extra reflection time, with some delays and new information before new progress. Here is a brief interpretation on what this might mean for you personally based on the area of life transit Mercury is in.
If transit Mercury Rx is in your 1st house, then it's about reflecting on your personal values and desires for yourself, regarding your style, clothes, expressions, what you show off to the world, and what you identify yourself with, materially; what you "think" you need to have in order to express you individuality.
Mercury Rx transit 2nd house - You'll get time to reflect on your current financial needs, stuff that you want, along with what you think you need in order to feel safe and secure on the material level of life. Reflecting on & communicating what you need to feel pleasure in life might take up your time next few weeks. Your personal values will need to be checked and updated. What is most important to you at this time in your life? Give it a few weeks, the answers will come. Waiting on money or personal resources to come in is also possible.
Mercury Rx transit 3rd house - You'll be getting time to reflect on intellectual values, materialistic stuff like, what vehicle you want or need, electronic items like phones, computers, etc. Also reflecting on the value of some of your friendships, connections, siblings, neighbors or people you network with. What is your most valuable intellectual pursuit at this time? Stuff like that. There will be some delays as you figure out what you want, or figure out that you actually don't want it.
Mercury Rx transit 4th house - Reflecting on the value of home life stuff and family. pondering new home perhaps or remodeling, general materialistic upgrades to home and family life. What do you find most valuable about home and family life? Is there something in need of change, but you are too stubborn and fixed in your ways, to do what needs to be done in order for improvements? Home life information will come in that allows for adjustments and changes.
Mercury Rx transit 5th house - All things pleasurable and sensual is fun, like recreation, camping, romance, food, parties, etc. Perhaps you need to reflect on what brings you joy in life on the material level. Money issues involving children or other creative materialistic interests could be on the mind for a while before new understanding sets in. Find what you value about being on earth, do more of it but any plans along these lines will need more time to be figured out.
Mercury transit Rx 6th house - Reflecting on what you value for your everyday routine of life. Pondering issues involving how much work you need to do in order to get the amount of money you need and value. Reflecting on and dealing with any health matters you might have, waiting for more information, etc. before any health issues are resolved or understood. It's really about reflecting on your values to see how much time you want to exchange for money.
Mercury Rx transit 7th house - Time to reflect on the value of your most important relationships and partnerships. Also the materialistic aspect of your partnerships and figuring out better resource balance in that. You could have to wait on info to arrive regrading new partnerships in financial matters between you and someone else. How willing are you to compromise some of your needs in order to make this partnership work?
Mercury Rx transit 8th house - Refection on and waiting for other people's resources to come in. Reflecting on what you value with other people. Reflecting on needed changes in the way you are currently merged with other people's life. Getting clear and updated with your most inner core values of life, that money can't buy and dealing with the materialistic side of change and separation from others, including inheritance and settlements issues. Give this a few weeks before getting answers.
Mercury Rx transit 9th house - Reflecting on a possible long distance trip that you find of value. Reflecting on your current beliefs about money and the world, and how you fit into that. Updating your values when it comes to what new knowledge you might need in order to progress yourself to get what you want. Waiting for information to see if you got accepted or qualify for something you want and value. Stuff like that.
Mercury Rx transit 10th house - Work, career and reputation gets time for reflection. Is your public life or career in alignment with your current values? You might have to wait on new information to arrive about getting a new job, or some other public event you will be involved in, which could see delays for the next few weeks. Rethinking your career values and money issues that you deal with as a vocation is in order. Some public event might need some rethinking time.
Mercury Rx transit 11th house - Groups, friends, organizations, your hopes and dreams all need some time for reflection before new developments can happen. What do you need from friendships at this point, how valuable are these people to your life? Do they fit in with your hopes and dreams that you wish to manifest? Are you being too stubborn in your group. You might have to wait for information to come in before knowing if something that you want to do in a group context will happen. Things start moving forward into June. Have patience.
Mercury Rx transit 12th house - You might have to reflect on general materialistic life. Perhaps you are someone that doesn't want people to know that you actually value materialism, only partaking in that indulgence privately from behind the scenes. What mental or physiological blocks to you have about money and pleasure? You might have a lot of fantasy about getting some things you want for the next few weeks, allow this to show you how life can become more pleasurable by materialism. It doesn't make you a bad person, we are human, therefore are meant to experience and partake in the materialistic world. Rethink where you are stuck in a negative perception on the material world.
You might also have this Mercury Rx phase personalized if you have energy points around 13 -24 degrees Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius. Whatever the planet you have that Mercury is aligning with should show what is needing more time before new information arrives, and yes, there could be a few mishaps, miscommunication or other annoyances if Mercury Rx makes challenging alignment to you personally. But it won't be for everyone.
Mercury does a rare transit in front of the sun May 9, but you will need special equipment to see. Astrologically, it means a day of important communication highlighted that perhaps opens doors for future developments in these areas Mercury is in transit through. Important information should arrive on that day, but you will still need more time before that information makes a difference.
That's about the gist of it. I'm not going to tell you to hide, not start anything or be ready for electronic/ mental breakdowns. That would take too much energy and change for a stubborn ass like Taurus, which is highly unlikely. But if you are into the astrology hype of retrogrades disaster, you might want to ask yourself why you would want to align yourself with that negative thinking if not needed. Do airplanes fall out of the sky when Mercury is Rx? All the biggest breakdowns of cars, trains, computers, phones, etc happens when Mercury is Rx? Nope. At worst, your mind is deeply focused on something, making small surface mishaps possible from your own mind being distracted, but if you're conscious to and stay aware to surface life as you go about your day, you have nothing to worry about, unless Mercury is making hard alignment with you personally, which then negative news or inconvenience could arrive, but only to help you get what you really want. So trust the process and don't be a stubborn ass.
Good luck,
Rik.
