It's not that bad...
Mercury will be retrograde in the sign of Taurus from April 21st to May 14th.
The pre-retrograde shadow period started April 7th and we won't completely be done with the energy until May 31st.
So you could already be seeing some of the themes occurring in your life.
Mercury is the planet of communication style, decision making, intelligence, thought processing and learning style.
So, when Mercury goes retrograde it just means slowing down to think, read and communicate more intentionally.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. It focuses on the physical, sensory experience, comfort and security. Taurus isn't big on taking risks or change. Taurus wants stability and a calm environment. Venus rules Taurus, so Taurus shares the qualities of money, aesthetics, beauty and sensory pleasures.
So what does that look like for you? It could be something you thought was secure, stable, set and ready to go, may need some revision or change. Remember Taurus isn't big on change. However, these changes will be for the best even if it takes you out your comfort zone. Work with the energy instead of letting the fears and myths of Mercury Retro limit your ability to act. Yes, you can manifest, start something new, change your mind and do your normal spiritual rituals and routines. Now is also a great time to connect with the earth, nature and nature spirits.
