May 10-June 3: Mercury Retrograde: Comfort vs Disruption
May 10 at 7:47am – June 3 at 4:01am eastern time: Mercury Retrograde in sidereal Taurus: Comfort vs. Disruption
General Mercury retrograde info:
Pause. Take two steps back to get a birds-eye view of where are you/where you’re going. Reassess the path you’re on especially around the ideas of comfort and disruption. Revisit old ways or plans which may reemerge during this time. Reflect on where you are and where you’d like to go. Review the plans you’ve made and reconsider/tweak them. It’s ok to shift gears. Mercury retrograde offers us a chance to make adjustments of where we are and how we move forward.
Practical advice: go over any important documents multiple times before signing or sending out. Have another set of eyes go over anything like this. Review travel and be prepared for possible delays and disruptions. Be mindful of conversations as miscommunication and misunderstandings can occur during Merc retro. Emotions may be high and the end of the month (May 29-31) as the Moon joins the Sun and Merc Retro on May 29 at 1:47am (there will be a New Moon on May 30 at 7:30am). Be mindful of responses/reactions on these days, especially around emotionally-fueled topics.
Specific to this Mercury retrograde: it’s time to think about the ideas of COMFORT and DISRUPTION. Questions to ponder:
• Do you feel stable in your life? Mentally, emotionally, financially, physically – in your body (especially lungs and nervous system) and where you live.
• Do you have support/practices that bring you a sense of comfort and calm? This is a good time to reassess what you’re doing/want to do, and how to (re)engage here.
• What disrupts you comfort and stability in a way that isn’t supportive of your mental/emotional/physical/financial health?
• What disrupts this in a way that helps you to grow?
• How do you feel about both of these types of “disruptions” and do they intersect at all?
• Where are you being drawn to show up as a leader? How does this feel: comfortable or disruptive?
• What do you want your days to look like going forward? What practical steps can be implemented?
*Be patient for the answers to reveal themselves. Taurus can take its time.
Mercury retrograde in Taurus basic info:
Starting in Rohini (the “Red One,” a favored sign focused on nurture and comfort) rolling back into Krittika (the “Cutter,” a sign of leadership and being able to cut to the core) on May 14/15. You might notice a shift in how you’re feeling around this day. Mercury stays in sidereal Taurus from April 24-July 1 so we have lots of time to look at the areas of our lives governed by this earth sign: comfort, materialism, stability, stubbornness, patience vs when we can explode.
::PEACE::
