Transits Timing- May 10th - May 25th
Mercury’s Transit into Taurus: A Shift in Thoughts.
Mercury’s slides into Taurus on May 10 bringing a grounded and practical approach to communication and mental wellbeing.
This transit supports patience and consistency but may also introduce stubbornness in thinking. This is an opportune time to focus on tangible goals , deliberate planning , and recovering resources along your journey.
This phase fosters graceful grounding and strong values , reminding us of the significance of taking the time to grasp how things operate and slowing down to understand.
What to Expect
While Mercury is in the sign of the Bull, we often seek information that affirms instant results rather than challenges our established values, beliefs, and viewpoints to create a new foundation within.
This can lead to a reluctance to change our minds, potentially resulting in intellectual stagnation , over consumption of material objects or being closed minded.
Attention shifts toward finances, material resources, comfort, and stability. Conversations about money, possessions, real estate, and long-term security flow more easily.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, so aesthetics, beauty, music, and art get a boost. It’s a good time to engage in sensory-rich activities — cooking, gardening, listening to music, and crafting.
Mercury's Astrological Aspects
Shortly after moving into Taurus, Mercury forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius.
This aspect compels us to reevaluate our current opinions and perceptions, promoting a profound transformation in how we think, communicate, and engage with our thoughts.

Core Themes
Tension between the Mind (Mercury) and Emotions. (Moon)
Questioning your Personal Power (Scorpio) & Putting it into Physical Reality. ( Taurus )
Conflict between Practical Thinking (Taurus) and Emotional Depth & Understanding. (Scorpio)
Toxic need to balance Logic vs Intuition; Facts vs Feelings.
How this Plays Out
(Personally + Collectively)
Inner Conflict: You may feel torn between wanting to keep conversations light, safe, and practical (Mercury in Taurus)… while simultaneously feeling pulled to express deeper, possibly uncomfortable truths (Scorpio Moon).
You might be forced to reconcile cold, hard facts (Taurus) with gut instincts and emotional undercurrents (Scorpio).
This is excellent energy for shadow work, therapy, or any conversations that aim to uncover truth.
What to do during this time ?
Don’t rush into choices. Take your time gathering information and weighing options. Trust the process of moving carefully.
Ground Your Ideas- Focus on what’s practical and sustainable. Instead of abstract theories, think about how your plans can manifest in the real world.
Review Finances and Resources- This is an excellent period to go over budgets, make practical financial plans, or invest in things that bring long-term value.
Engage Your Senses- Cook nourishing food, spend time in nature, upgrade your living space, or appreciate art and music to align with Taurus’s earthy, sensual energy.
Practice Patience in Conversations- If disagreements arise, remember that everyone (including you) may be more fixed in their views. Give space for reflection and don’t push too hard for immediate agreement.
Work on Long-Term- Focus, endurance, and persistence are heightened — it’s a great time to chip away steadily at big, long-term goals.
Grounding Rituals- If you’re spiritually inclined, grounding rituals like walking barefoot on earth, working with stones like rose quartz or green aventurine, or practicing slow, intentional breath-work can harmonize you with Mercury in Taurus.
