Mercury incarnates across the planet of communications and language, the planet closest to the sun, who as a good communicator is responsible for carrying the messages between our plane and the upper and lower planes. It is Mercurio who leads and directs (or redirects on some occasions), the form that our communication takes the proper use of language, and everything related to the exchange of information.

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.

Welcome April, please be Good.

It has begun the month of April, and we give you a pleasant welcome with open arms, it is the most prosperous month of the year and it is also the first full month of spring, so it is not surprising that this magical month we see All Flowers around us, if we just adapt to winter, it's time to totally change our mentality, it's spring, and April came into our homes 48 hours ago and if you have not noticed it's time to make certain changes in you.

April has always been linked to the issue of Prosperity and Abundance, so I am preparing for you a series of content that you will receive in your mail soon, so if you are not yet subscribed to the mailing list, it is still on time. Meanwhile, I leave you with the astrological information of the beginning of the month to keep in mind so that you pay attention to everything and with the good foot.

Retrograde April

April is influenced by the spirit of prosperity and abundance, it is a good time to attract good fortune, channel the energy of money and consecrate with blessings each and every one of our projects. We are under the influence of Venus retrograde, which as I indicated earlier slows down our ability to manifest our emotions and blocks us a little sentimentally, the good news, is that Venus abandons its retrogradation in less than two weeks, the bad news, is that Before leaving, he will put us to the test, for on Sunday, April 9 Mercury begins retrograde, so precisely between Sunday 9 and Saturday, April 15, we will be under the retrograde influence of two planets, specifically Mercury, the ruler of communications and The understanding, and Venus the regent of emotions and self-esteem.

Mercury, conductor of the communicators

Mercury is the ruling planet of communications, marketing, languages, travel and advertising, its retrogradation causes an immediate imbalance of all its attributes, alters calendars, distorts our ability to understand and negatively alters our understanding of it Of everything that happens around us. Remember that the retrogradation of Mercury is a moment to bring peace and peace to our mind, because the planet of communications can easily stagnate our projects and goals, so during this stage, we must conscientiously analyze every step we take and not act For acting or much less bet on luck.

Mercury retrograded in the Taurus Sign, do not think it's time to try the bull by the horns, on the contrary, it's time to be good with all our partners and colleagues, take advice and rethink, rethink and even strengthen our strategies, Mercury is reinforced by the sign of the bull and it is not time to walk with egos.

Double retrogradation

This retrogradation comes with double warning, already in case we find the slow and inconstant movement of Venus that dispels all romanticism and makes us ask several questions at the level of couple, but now Mercury starts, and together can cause all sorts of misunderstanding, The messages will be received as innuendoes, constructive criticisms are easily perceived as malicious indirect, while the failures that others commit around us, however small, we will feel more serious or important.

This double retrogradation will last approximately one week and will be the beginning of a personal stage of review for each person, remember that Mercury retrograde forces us to catch up, attend unfinished business, pay debts for any minimum and evaluate each step With due caution.

And what about Saturn?

Saturn, the old God of agriculture and ancestral wisdom also go into retrogradation, specifically, Saturn will start its retrograde cycle on April 6 in the Sagittarius Sign, even before Mercury. This could be perceived by some as a temporary triple retrogradation, and in a certain way technical might be, but the truth, this does not happen because Mercury and Venus are personal planets like Mars, whereas Saturn and Jupiter are social planets, Its retrogradation affects us differently.

Personal planets like Mercury, Venus, and Mars (and in some ways earth) as well reflect the most characteristic traits of each person, individual needs, and our own potential. While on the other hand, social planets like Jupiter and Saturn are linked to our social and cultural context, are those that integrate us into society.

Saturn is for many pagans and modern astrologers, the physical body of the ancient Roman god of agriculture and harvest, an aged king who led mankind during the golden age, his teachings are patience, serenity at all times and Concentration on each objective. The retrogradation of Saturn compels us to reconsider these life teachings and to carry them out when Saturn retrograde tells us that it is time to accept our duties with much patience and our obligations with tolerance, forces us to restrain the ego and reorganize each project. This is no good time to give up any project or change profession.
