Mercury in 00° Taurus

 


Mercury in Taurus General
When Mercury is in Taurus, our thoughts and speech slow down. We speak and communication more deliberately, determined to get our point across.  Our thinking processes, such as how we process and exchange information, becomes more slow as well and we are less inclined to change our minds about any subject or matter (Taurus is a fixed sign).  Our thoughts may turn to money and material matters. We may become more fond of what makes us comfortable in terms of the senses such as food, art, music etc...
How Mercury in Taurus Affects You
The house that Taurus occupies in your Natal Chart is the area of life where you will have slow, deliberate thoughts.
  • If your rising sign is Aries, Taurus is your 2nd House.
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Taurus is your 1st House.
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Taurus is your 12th House.
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Taurus is your 11th House.
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Taurus is your 10th House.
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Taurus is your 9th House.
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Taurus is your 8th House.
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Taurus is your 7th House.
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Taurus is your 6th House.
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Taurus is your 5th House.
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Taurus is your 4th House.
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Taurus is your 3rd House.
Example
Mercury in Taurus in the 7th House
Mercury in this placement can bring slow, deliberate thoughts about our relationships of all kinds. This might be a period in which we consider our relationships and if we are truly happy and satisfied with them. Mercury in the 7th house can indicate a period of (re) negotiation (mercury rules contracts) in our relationships to fix what may be broken or not working as it should be. We may communicate more with the people in our lives who represent our partners, this can be in business or in romantic relationships. You may find that you communicate better one-on-one with other people rather than with groups of individuals.
Aspects
Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimension of astrological interpretation that can be examined. Let us suppose then that you have Mars at 9° Taurus. This would mean that Transit Mars is applying a conjunction to your Natal Mars. A conjunction is a type of aspect in which the urge of one planet blends with the urge of another habit so well that it is difficult to tell them apart. Let us break it down:
Transit Mercury + Conjunct + Natal Mars
I Think + blends with + I act
When transit Mercury conjuncts Natal Mars the urge to communicate blends with the assertiveness of Mars. Your communication style is more aggressive now. Consequently you can get into more heavy debates and arguments the short time this aspect is active.  Your words carry more weight and power now, which is good because you may have to defend your stance or opinion on some matter. Even if you are sure of your own opinion, you express yourself with such confidence that you are able to sway people to your way of thinking.
How will the ingress of Mercury into Taurus manifest for you?
