Celebrate the sound of silence as Mercury travels through Taurus. This earthy sign communicates best through touch or music, expressing its deepest thoughts non-verbally. Communication in love and romance thrive when you spend time getting to know your partner in ways that don’t depend just on words. Sensual Taurus loves to share experiences that include decadent feasts, tantalizing smells and other body-oriented pleasures.
If you do need to have important conversations now, snail’s pace slow is the way to go. Taurus not only hates to be rushed, but will bullishly put a stop to anything that is proceeding too fast for comfort. The only way to convince this sign to do anything is for them to come to it on their own. As possibly the most stubborn sign in the zodiac, Taurus is an expert at refusing to budge once their mind is made up.
This can mean that conversations that have “agendas” may feel frustrating, as Taurus moves at its own leisurely speed, determined to feel comfortable rather than rushed. Better to back off now and work with the Taurean earth speed than push things too fast.
Though this is a time to go slow, it doesn’t mean that things can’t get done. In fact, practical, task-oriented projects and dreaming up new money-making ideas are a great way to use this transit, as Mercury in Taurus loves to think of ways to make life more secure and comfortable. Planning a garden with your partner or discovering new recipes to cook together are great ways to make the most of this earthy mental energy.
