What Every Zodiac Can Expect From 2023’s Mercury Retrograde In Taurus
On April 21st, Mercury will station retrograde until May 14th, 2023, when it goes direct. Mercury will remain in Taurus until June 11th, 2023, when the planet of communication finally enters the sign of Gemini. Mercury in this sign wants us all to go slower than we would like, since Taurus does not like to rush. This transit has us focused on the details. Simple tasks become harder to complete. As with most retrogrades, a lot of revision, redoing, and reworking will be in the mix. The progress we make will feel tedious, but we could experience breakthroughs while going at a slower pace, especially after the eclipse on May 5th. See how this transit will impact your rising, sun, and moon sign.
