Mercury retrograde in Taurus. A “fiery” period begins for all zodiac signs

Three times a year, the planet Mercury appears to move backwards across the sky. The same will happen between April 21 and May 14.

This is a time when Mercury is in retrograde, which is traditionally associated with confusion and frustration. Find out how it will affect you!

In 2023, Mercury will be in apparent retrograde at several intervals: from April 21 to May 14, then from August 23 to September 14, and, towards the end of the year, from December 13 to January 1, 2024. An astronomical explanation of retrograde motion begins with the understanding that the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun at different distances and at different speeds. Sometimes the planet may seem to suddenly change direction and begin to move backwards across the sky. This is, of course, an illusion caused by the position of the Earth relative to this planet, since a planet orbiting it is always moving in a given direction and cannot suddenly change its course. That's why we call this phenomenon apparent retrograde motion.

What to do at this time?

The planet Mercury rules communication in all forms, as well as activities related to communication. This also affects travel and transportation. So, when Mercury is retrograde, it would be good to be flexible, patient and understanding, take extra time to travel and avoid signing new contracts that you are not confident in. According to the British edition of the Daily Express, astrologer Shannon Hagman warns that this will be a “fiery” period for all zodiac signs and we risk becoming temperamental. We will need to forget our grievances, internalize the lessons learned and apply them in the future.
