Your “aha!” moment is finally here.
Although Taurus season is usually a time to prioritize satisfaction, comfort, and stability, it’s been difficult to keep a firm grip on permanence this time around. With two eclipses in a row and Mercury in retrograde, it’s safe to say that everyone’s security has been in jeopardy. While you’ve been working hard to secure consistent, long-term resources, Mercury retrograde has had a completely different agenda. The planet of communication has been rewriting what security looks like for each zodiac sign since April 21, causing (understandable) confusion and uncertainty. Relaxing and leaning into life’s pleasures is more difficult when what’s familiar and comfortable appears to be uncertain, but fortunately, as Mercury retrograde concludes in spring 2023, every zodiac sign will have some groundbreaking epiphanies when it comes to establishing prolonged gratification.
Mercury has been retrograding through the fixed earth sign of Taurus for the last three weeks, ushering in a period of revision and reconsideration for all things materialistic and tangible. Every sign has been summoned since April 21 to reconsider the seemingly immovable foundations and structures that have been in place for quite some time. While this retrograde has most likely pushed you out of your comfort zone, it has also provided you with the opportunity to see things from a different angle. Security is meant to give you peace of mind, not to keep you stuck — and as Mercury gradually accelerates in the Taurus-ruled house of every sign’s birth chart, you’ll notice some slow but certain clarity in the area where things have been in limbo.
Here’s what each zodiac sign can expect on May 14, when Mercury stations direct:
Aries (March 20 – April 20)
Aries, financial stability has been on your mind for the last three weeks, and as Mercury stations direct in Taurus, you’ll finally get the answers you’ve been looking for about your resources and assets. You want a lot of long-term comfort and consistency here, and the retrograde has helped you figure out how to get it in new ways. As Mercury moves out of retrograde, you’ll be able to make more informed decisions about how to effectively secure and maintain your essentials.
Taurus (April 20 – May 21)
Taurus, you’ve had a chaotic month, but as Mercury stations direct in your sign on May 14, you’ll finally gain some much-needed clarity around your desire for consistent ease and comfortability. You were prompted to consider your plans for yourself and your image as Mercury retraced its steps through your first house of identity. With Mercury moving forward once more, you have a clear idea of how you want to present yourself to the world.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Mercury, your chart ruler, will finally station direct in Taurus on May 14, bringing an end to many of the internal conversations you’ve been having with yourself. You have a fast mind, but since Mercury has been retrograde in the no-rush sign of Taurus since April 21, you’ve been encouraged to slow down some of your thoughts and ideas. However, now that Mercury is back on track, you can resume any plans or projects that you had to put on hold.
Cancer (June 20 – July 21)
Your community and friendships have been undergoing some restructuring in recent weeks, but as Mercury stations direct on May 14, you’ll gain some clarity about the types of people you want to be around. While this retrograde may have prompted some difficult conversations in your social circles, you can now move forward with a clearer understanding of what you require from those around you to feel safe and content.
Leo (July 21 – August 22)
As Mercury stations direct in your 10th house this month, the confusion you’ve been experiencing with your professional endeavors will begin to clear. While some of your work plans may have had to be put on hold in recent weeks, Mercury finally stationing direct will allow you to resume some of these activities. Communicating effectively with colleagues or coworkers should be easier now, so feel free to share your career strategies or ideas with those around you — they’ll be all ears.
Virgo (August 22 – September 21)
Mercury (your chart ruler) will station direct in your 9th house of belief systems and world views on May 14, clearing up any confusion. If you’ve been unsure of where you stand philosophically, the end of Mercury retrograde should provide you with some much-needed clarity. Now is the ideal time to pick up where you left off with any studies or travel plans that have piqued your interest. The world is your oyster, Virgo, and now that your chart ruler is direct, you can finally pursue the things that keep you enlightened without being stymied.
Libra (September 21 – October 22)
Mercury stations direct in your eighth house, bringing an end to the revisions you’ve been making to your shared resources and responsibilities. If you’ve been experiencing delays in filing taxes, signing contracts, or moving forward with a large purchase, these issues should be gradually subsiding now. You’ve spent the last few weeks getting your affairs in order, and now you’ll feel more secure about your assets.
Scorpio (October 22 – November 21)
Mercury will station direct on May 14, bringing unexpected clarity to your romantic relationships and partnerships. You’ve been re-evaluating the connections around you for the last three weeks, and now that the retrograde is ending, you’ll have a better understanding of what your needs are in your interactions with others. If communicating with others has been difficult, expect some of the misunderstandings to fade now.
Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20)
As Mercury stations direct, the difficulties you’ve been having establishing a stable, comfortable routine will begin to fade. Sagittarius, now is the time to start implementing some of those habits and rituals that prioritize your well-being — trust me, it will be much easier to do so now. Your ability to be productive and efficient will gradually improve now, so get started on that post-Mercury retrograde to-do list.
Capricorn (December 20 – January 19)
When Mercury finally stations direct on May 14, you’ll be able to approach your passion projects with fresh eyes. You’ve been rethinking how you seek pleasure and satisfaction in your life over the last three weeks, but as Mercury accelerates, you won’t face as many roadblocks when it comes to prioritizing enjoyment in your life. Capricorn, feel free to resume any hobbies, romances, or activities that have been dormant or uncertain. It’s time to let your hair down.
Aquarius (January 19 – February 20)
Mercury will station direct in your fourth house of home and family on May 14, bringing sudden clarity to your thoughts and plans about your natural habitat. You value consistency in your personal life, and now that Mercury is no longer retrograde, you’ll find it easier to get organized in this area. Whether you’re preparing for a move or having important conversations with a family member or roommate, things are about to get a lot easier.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
As Mercury moves direct, your current ideas and perspectives will be easier to implement and communicate to those around you. You’ve been quietly reviewing and revising your plans and opinions since April 21, but now that Mercury is no longer retrograde, you’ll feel more inclined to speak up. Now that the planet of the mind is moving forward again, this is also an excellent time to pursue any new studies or interests you’ve been considering.
