On March 31, your Ruling Planet enters the slow, steady zodiac sign of Taurus for an extended (if interrupted) stay. While here, your thinking, processing speed and communication skills are seriously slowed down. You linger on things you normally dash right over. The usual tendency to leap to conclusions gives way to a more considered approach, mulling deeply instead of moving right on.
This trend is amplified by the fact that Mercury will be turning retrograde on April 5, turning up the volume on the “slow down and reconsider” effect. The benefit of this influence is a more structured, practical way of doing things, and one where aesthetics matter. Take the time now to do the job right, whatever job that may be, and in a way that makes sense and pleases you. The benefit of this approach will become apparent as years go by, as the quality of your effort rewards you with continual utility and pleasure. Resist any pressure to feel hurried or impatient. This is utterly antithetical to Taurus energy and will seriously inhibit your ability to take advantage of it. “Steady as she goes” is a far better motto. Your Ruling Planet Mercury turns retrograde on April 5. Be sure to check back here to see what this means for you!
