Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
April 2017
The retrograde planets
The sun and the moon move in space from east to west, the other planets travel from west to east, although this movement is interrupted for brief intervals by a retrograde movement from east to west. The recoil is preceded by a loss in the speed of advance until finally, it stops, then, it recovers until it reaches a stationary position again and it resumes the normal movement from west to east.
Retrogradation occupies a minimal part of the movement of the planet that normally develops in the direct sense. A very important stage of every planet is when in its natural cycle reaches the stationary phase. This phase indicates the short period of time before it becomes retrograde or direct. A planet at this specific point in its cycle diminishes its movement dramatically.
Retrograde Mercury
It is a time of rest that the mind needs to re-think, re-do, re-order and re-associate. If we recognize these periods and understand them as part of such a natural process, such as sleep and wakefulness, we will gain great advantages and benefits. Every four months, Mercury is parked and retrograde for three weeks. These cycles of retrograde mercury attune us to reflection and suggest to us which aspect of our life we should focus on at that moment. Reconsidering ideas, projects, relationships, goals, and lifestyles is the most important purpose of retrograde Mercury.
A retrograded period of Mercury is a time to catch up, complete unfinished projects, deal with outstanding communications, pay debts... Perhaps not the right time to take action and carry out a plan, but if it is to plan what is Will do when I get back on track.
What to do when Mercury is retrograde?
Pay attention to how you perceive life (the glass half full or half empty), and from this way of looking, review the permanence of commitments to the material world: debts to be canceled at a specified time or deadlines, contracts to be evaluated with caution, Plans that must be adjusted without prior notice. Stay focused on the pragmatic of life.
To be attentive to ideas of empowerment that had left in the drawer of the oblivion, ally itself with versatile people, with much creativity and that they really like to assume challenges with conviction. Keep the enthusiasm to make the thousand necessary revisions of a work delivered. Enjoy the view during the crossing, leaving aside the criticism of the route.
What to avoid when Mercury is retrograde?
Get carried away by the day-to-day running, engage in several projects at once. Try to erroneously take the short and illuminated path when learning clearly says 'long and with flashes of light at times'.
Give the go-ahead to a business plan that was not evaluated sufficiently, to fall into discussions arid for dates delivery issues, to focus only on the final product and not on the design path or previous strategy. Reading the small print is strictly important when we have retrograde mercury, avoid assuming without asking, also avoid taking decisions attached to the emotion of the moment and not to rationing.
Retrogradation in Taurus
On Friday, March 31, 17:30 UT, a planet moves away from Aries for a while, at least. Enter Mercury in Taurus and with a practical and sensual nuance begins to slow down his career because from April 9 to May 3, we will live the second Mercury retrograde 2017.
With retrograde mercury, it'ss advisable to defer analyses or clinical exams subject to diagnoses or results in writing, as they may be issued with important errors and mistakes. While transiting Mercury in Taurus, our communication delights in the word, our thinking is sensible, solid, connected to the earth and stimulated by the senses, daily thinking is not clear, which tends to generate complications and disrupt our routine.
Under the influence of 'the messenger of the gods' transiting the sign of possessions and sensuality, we communicate more consciously and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true instead of new ways of thinking.
With Mercury in Taurus, our thinking tends to be formal or conservative and we prefer to think things through carefully and deeply before making decisions. We may be inclined to hold onto one-sided opinions and we are reluctant to change our opinions once formed. Interest in music, art, or sculpture is also likely.
