As Mercury travels through Taurus from May 10th to May 25th, hot takes cool down to a simmer and racing thoughts flow at a more leisurely pace. After the past few weeks of fiery exchanges, a softer approach to communication may be a sweet relief. In this fixed earth sign, the messenger planet is in no rush to win an argument or get to the bottom of a Wikipedia rabbit hole. Instead, Mercury in Taurus knows the smell of fresh-cut grass, the texture of a cashmere blanket, or the warmth of a hug from a friend can convey the proverbial 1,000 words. To absorb this wisdom, slow the roll of your text threads and news alerts so your body — and the Earth itself — can whisper its subtle secrets to you.
Yet this transit isn’t all daisy chains and comfortable silences. Mercury in Taurus can stubbornly cling to rigid judgments or outdated beliefs because they feel as cozy and familiar as a beloved sweater. The celestial bull can dig in its heels just to prove a point, so beware of moments when you slip into defensive mode or close yourself off from different perspectives. But in this placement, Mercury also teaches us that pausing to digest information is a crucial skill in our rapid-fire digital age. Don’t be afraid to be the last person to weigh in or to do a body scan before answering an email. Often our minds are much clearer after a long shower, a nourishing meal, or some solo time in nature. The world and its endless stream of ideas and opinions will still be waiting on the other side of your power nap.

We are living in a material world — and the next few weeks invite you to organize yours.
Attending to the dollars-and-cents details of your finances and other assets might not sound fun. But the more you clarify your resources, the more expansive they appear. Instead of zooming into your future or getting snagged on past experiences, stay mentally centered in the here and now.
When you focus on expressing gratitude for what you already have, you open yourself to receiving even more. Let realism be your route to abundance.
Make a game plan for your own blossoming. To be your best self, it helps to study what you love — and simplicity is the key.
Over the next few weeks, instead of contemplating your complex inner motivations, reflect on the uncomplicated joys that cushion your days and anchor you. Whether they include snuggling with a pet friend, cooking a meal from scratch, or wearing the earrings that make you smile, take stock of your everyday sources of pleasure.
Prioritize what your body gravitates toward to keep yourself grounded and glowing.
Your cocoon is calling. Over the next few weeks, rethink the aesthetics of your sanctuaries and behind-the-scenes projects. Your inner world is ethereal and transcendental, but your studio or hidey-hole might not be (yet).
Replenishing yourself doesn’t just require rest and imagination; it also depends on having the right tools. Whether you thrift dreamier curtains that inspire you to sleep or pick sharper knitting needles to stitch your scarves, make tangible adjustments that support your thriving.
Strategically set the stage for your creativity, and your muses will slip in.
Simplify your thinking about your social network. It’s easy to get caught up in the micro-dramas that arise when perspectives clash. But over the next few weeks, pausing your mixing and mingling will spark something valuable: clarity.
Tuning out the endless chatter, whether in your IRL community or online, helps you access the plain but powerful knowledge that a spacious body and mind can hold. Spend time communing with nature or savoring sweet treats, and then consider what you want to say yes to. The answers may surprise you.
Radically refine your blueprints for your career, greater calling, or public roles.
Over the next few weeks, it’s easy to get hung up on the more complex details of your grand ambitions, but overcomplicating matters can hold you back. Whatever you want to accomplish, whether it’s launching your own business or creating a community garden, requires tangible action.
Avoid hypotheticals and dodge ungrounded fantasies. Instead, list three things you can do now to help your plans come to fruition. Focusing on what’s close to you invites the magic in.
It’s time to break down your long-range plans into doable actions.
Over the coming weeks, whether you’re plotting a backpacking trip or investigating meditation classes, keep it simple. It’s alluring to daydream about the geographical wonders you could visit or the spiritual wisdom you could attain. But for now, ask yourself: Is your fantasizing useful?
Instead of overcomplicating your goals, focus on what’s achievable. Dust off your suitcase or set fresh flowers on your altar. Do what you can with what you’ve got, and the future will flow from there.
If your collaborations or material exchanges are tangled, unknot them. Over the next few weeks, resist getting sucked into drama around your shared resources. Whether that means taking time-outs from a boundaryless roommate or contemplating a contract while relaxing in nature, seek spaciousness.
It’s easy to stress about crunching numbers, balancing inequities, or ensuring you get a fair shake in your give-and-takes. But tension doesn’t help you arrive at your best answers; a regulated nervous system does. Elegantly clarify your bottom line by evading power plays and prioritizing mindful presence.
Practice communicating simply and directly in your unions. With close friends, romantic partners, or longtime business associates, interactions can easily get weighed down by past complications. It can be healing to strip away the backstory and bond over what feels alive here and now.
Whether you share a hilarious joke, a warm meal, or a suddenly blooming orchid, connect to the present moment with your companions over the next few weeks. You may find some old grievances are no longer worth harboring. You always have permission to begin again.
Streamline your thinking about work, wellness, and other practical affairs. Over the next few weeks, simplicity is your strongest ally. So when your schedule overflows, dial it back.
Mental stress likes to convince you that it’s productive to stack your plate with tasks or ruminate on hypothetical outcomes. But if you narrow down your obligations to the essentials, it gets even easier for progress to sprout organically. You don’t have to force it — as long as you pencil in some breathers between your to-dos.
Put down the thesaurus. Over the next few weeks, your muses, desires, and fun instincts won’t be expressing themselves through abstract theories or lofty poems. Instead, they’ll be communicating through the vivid, visceral language of the senses.
Whether you’re contemplating a plot twist in your novel or an invitation to a first date, decode the plain, reliable signals that your body offers you. Your belly relaxing, your pulse quickening, and your heart expanding are all clues that you’re onto something.
It’s time to craft the recipe for your replenishment.
When life gets busy, it’s easy to underestimate the power of simple, intentional acts of self-care. Over the next few weeks, list what you find restorative in plain, memorable terms, without judging what does or doesn’t work for you — then follow through.
Whether you recharge by dancing to nostalgic playlists, turning off your phone, or cuddling with your pet friend isn’t particularly important. What matters most is giving your nervous system some gentle space to reset.
Make your peace of mind an everyday priority. Over the next few weeks, limit your intake of draining small talk, superficial gossip, and hollow clickbait. Instead, seek simplicity.
Carve out space to disengage from the hustle and bustle and reconnect with your senses. Pausing in your neighborhood park or breathing deeply before replying to your DMs might be enough to reorient you. When your mental passageways are clear of traffic jams, you can better assess which interactions support your wellbeing.
