MERCURY IN TAURUS: MAY 31-JUNE 14—QUICK TRIP
Mercury finally gets out of  Aries on May 31st and Virgos and Geminis can finally get major relief going into a friend’s sign. If you were born with Mercury in Taurus, you have good creative writing and reasoning abilities are happy, love reading and writing and speaking, and love being with deep thinkers. This placement creates good humor, generosity, and a lover of the arts.
Mercury is combusted by the Sun from June 2-26th and the latter part of the transit into the tight conjunction June 13-15th will create a buzzy and busy mind while for the most part the combination with the Sun and Mercury in the same sign but far enough apart creates mental brilliance with a Buddha Aditya yoga. Venus and Jupiter are supporting Mercury and normally this would be a wonderful Saraswati Yoga with three benefics together but the Sun’s combustion spoils the part and continues to afflict Venus and to a lesser degree Mercury as it has lots of sun tan lotion as it always so close to the Sun.
The Shakti of Taurus is that it gives the power to bring wealth, social success, prosperity, and enjoyment. For Vedic lovers, it is connected to Krishna. The keyword to remember here is Blessings and it is easy to remember the blessings of Venus who brings material prosperity to us. Planets placed in Taurus in any part of the chart bring blessings.
Taurus is a sign, which is very stubborn, but planets go through their benefit from wealth, social status, and prosperity and this is of course dependent on your larger cycles. Mercury does better with transit through the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th, and 11th houses from the natal moon or ascendant. Still, I think Virgos will do well with this transit through the 9th house of foreign travel and spirituality and good luck and good fortune while Geminis will have to watch expenditures but need to focus on service and donations and commitment in marriage to bring out the highest energies.
Note: Social Media has been pushing the parade of planets aligning in the sky in early June but because of the Combustion of Mercury and Venus and Jupiter are combust and Uranus and Neptune are not visible without a telescope you will only be able to see Mars and Saturn. Juliana Swanson has a wonderful article on her blog about this on Astral Harmony which is on Substack.
