Mercury enters Taurus
Mercury is in Taurus from May 2nd to 17th, 2026.
When Mercury is in Taurus, our thinking is down to earth, solid, and grounded. Common sense reigns over more fanciful thinking.
We communicate more deliberately under this influence, and our minds are oriented to the world of the five senses. We prefer the tried and true to new ways of thinking.
Attention to one thing at a time can simplify our lives, but we may be in danger of narrow, overly conservative, or rigid thinking.
- comfortably-paced decisions and thought processes
- thinking cannot be rushed or pushed
- pleasant speech, voice
- capable of (and content with) rote, routine, deliberate, or monotonous work/methods
- common sense is strong and dominant
- practical intelligence
- stubborn line of thinking/position
