I had planned on posting this and notifications leading up to the retrograde but given health issues and beset with other problems I was prevented from doing so.
Here's what you can expect from the Taurus retrograde
Core Values: Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
Mercury Retrograde entered the sign in Taurus begins on April 21st ((15º 17''). . It will end on the May 14th 11:16pm EDT/ 9:16 PDT, going direct in Taurus (5º 05'). It will spend the majority of it's time is the sign of Taurus. Much of the Sun's transit through Taurus will be affected by the retrograde.
Taurus, in astrology, represents values. Whether it’s an object we possess or people we love, Taurus is the embodiment of connection, attachment and emotional commitment. Taurus’ ruling planet is Venus, a planet of affection, appreciation and aesthetics. So when a Taurean attaches value to anything, their commitment is neither casual nor trivia. At its best, Taurus can be generous, reliable and resourceful. At its worst, Taurus can be lazy, materialistic and overly possessive.
When coupled with Mercury, the planet which governs thoughts and communication, the upcoming Retrograde will ask you to review your values, resources and things you’ve accumulated. In the coming weeks, you may find yourself re-evaluating that which you possess and own, whether that’s a book in your possession or an opinion that you hold. Because it is a retrograde based in an earth sign, you might encounter direct changes in your physical environment; Spring cleaning, yard sales, purchases you’ve made or items needing repair and restoration
During this time may find you turning your material world upside down and inside out in effort to discern whether that which you’ve accumulated jibes with that which you really value. It may be a period an intensive clearing, requiring that you make adjustments to your environment, lifestyle and attitudes. Stepping out of your comfort zone may also be required at this time, letting different energies shake up staid routines.
Retrogrades are times to address problems but not to work them out. The real work comes once the retrograde is over. You may need to make some adjustments at this time but leave off radical changes until after the transit ends.
With Mercury’s reversal, devices that aid communication and thought tend to go haywire. Electronic devices (phones, TV’s computers, and electronics) might malfunction at this time. Because Retrogrades are notorious for upsetting our plans, you should afford yourself extra time, a sense of humor and a large measure of tolerance. Because of its effect on spoken communication, watch for being inflexible, stubborn or obstinate in arguments or discussions at this time.
There are activities that tend benefit from Retrogrades. Existing creative endeavors tend to do well. Strive to complete those kinds of projects and works. Spiritual and metaphysical practices, which connect us with our inmost selves, also fare well doing retrogrades. Embarking on short term travel or trips, which shake up daily routines, are also good actions to take during mercury retrogrades.
Taurus, this transit may test your best laid plans. Seek to be flexible and if you find yourself having to reconsider something you’re doing, do so with the understanding that a change course maybe for the best.
Scorpio, examine current drives and pursuits and determine if you are well served by them. The early portion of this Retrograde may ask you clarify what you desire and how you should proceed to go about getting it.
Leo and Aquarius, some matter may present itself that will ask you to charge some aspect of your life. It won’t easy but it should prove worthwhile for every moment you are willing to devote to it.
The next few weeks Mercury Retrograde will offer significant and possibly dramatic changes of your surroundings and values. While you navigate this Mercury Retrograde seek to affirm that which you value, both from without and within.
