MERCURY IN TAURUS DIRECT + JUPITER IN TAURUS

From April 21st till May 14th Mercury was retrograde in the sign of Taurus. When Mercury is retrograde it is an optical illusion that the planet is moving backward but that is impossible. This time period is a trial period where we are tested by the most high and purified by the most high. We go inward to reflect, and gain deeper insight helping us to understand our experiences and what our next steps will be. Remember mercury goes three times a year so it isn't anything to fear. But, it is a prime opportunity and portal to be deeply realigned with the divines plans for our lives. It is also note worthy that when Mercury is in retrograde technology, transportation, daily routines, mail, important decisions and much more can be disrupted and have unexpected changes or events that come about. But, when Mercury goes Direct these areas of our lives gets an upgrade from the wisdom we just obtained and things ease and move forward.

This time Mercury retrograde was moving through the sign of Taurus. The Venusian sign of Taurus is steady, fixed, presentable, serious, creative and down to earth. Venusian energy naturally makes the native focus on communicating purely and presentably. It is a slow and thoughtful energy. Mercury in Taurus asked us to embrace communicating effectively, and efficiently. Communicating abruptly and disruptively is far out of Mercury in Taurus nature. During this time we communicate much more eloquently and slowly allowing ourselves to absorb and process the information and experiences that grace our lives during this time. This particular transit was joined by the Sun, North Node, and Uranus. Which amplified the desire to communicate in a Taurus fashion even more deeply. But there was eradicate energy in the air which has been causing this Taurus energy to feel a bit unsettled and on its toes. Uranus and the North Node have added these disruptive factors to make sure that we are communicating from a new source of practicality, beauty, stability and security. The old ways of embodying this Taurus energy is being actively transmuted and transformed as we speak.

Now, a new star arises within this Taurus energy. Jupiter joins the party of Taurus energy helping us to expand what has been naturally developing over quite some time now. Remember Jupiter brings with it the most pure source of Magic and the true essence of expansion. This energy can expand both positive and negative experiences so I would make it a point to make goodness and pureness of mind, heart, body and the rest of our souls. It will ease the chaos that we are experiencing through the lens of Taurus. New foundations we've created are being solidified and deepened with Jupiter in Taurus. Make sure what you've been creating is within alignment because it will be with us for quite some time.
