Read your horoscope for Mercury in Taurus
Grounded Thinking
With Mercury in Taurus from April 3rd until June 11th, thinking takes on a more leisurely pace. In this earth sign, the planet of ideas and communication favors the simple, the practical, and the present moment over complex abstraction and future-tripping. This placement is skilled at simplifying complex webs of information to their elegant core and troubleshooting problems with a sense of “can do” consistency.
In this age of information overload, giving yourself a mental spa day now and again can feel counterintuitive. But taking some time to detox from a 24-hour news cycle or social media can boost your brainstorming in unexpected ways. Turning the dial down on unnecessary noise creates an internal spaciousness, from which your brightest ideas can shine. “Stop and smell the roses,” isn’t just a pleasant slogan right now, but a winning strategy.
The clearer headspace will come in handy from April 21st until May 14th, when Mercury enters its retrograde. Having strong organizational systems and clear blueprints in place for all your projects will ensure smooth sailing, no matter what hijinks or minor snafus occur.
