Mercury Retrograde in Taurus
Roman mythology to Indian astrology texts, Mercury has remained the ruler of communication. Mercury rules over technology, commerce, travels, vehicles, smartness, data, etc. Mercury is going to go retrograde on the 21st of April, 2023, according to Western astrology. Mercury going retrograde is scared not only by those who rely on communications for a living but by people in general, because communications are the core of human existence.
A planet is in retrograde means that it is moving in a backward motion. But in reality, planets never move away from their paths or orbits. A planet retrograding is an optical illusion perceived from the Earth’s vantage point. Mercury takes only 88 days to finish its orbiting around the Sun, which is why it is more prone to multiple retrogrades within a year. When the earth sign of Taurus is affected, the material world will be jolted and hence it should be read that finances will be affected in a global scheme of things.
