TGIF, and Mercury is changing signs (sidereal zodiac) from Aries to Taurus right after midnight on Saturday May 9. The sandhi transit of Mercury as it changes signs on the one-degree edge is from early afternoon today (Friday, May 8) to late morning tomorrow (Saturday May 9), and these calculations are based on eastern daylight time.
Mercury represents our consciousness and intellect known as budhi, the thinking mind. He also symbolizes speech, learning, information, communication, logic, reason, the nervous system, and the lungs and breath. Mercury is also the Divine Messenger linking us to the Higher Mind.
According to mundane astrology, when Mercury is sandhi, we sometimes get accidents, bad storms, or seismic events, and we can personally feel more unsettled than usual, so it is important to be mindful as we are changing course.
Mercury has been in Aries since April 24, and will remain in Taurus until May 24. His energy is much more stable in Taurus, sign of his friend Venus, versus Aries which is ruled by Mars who sees Mercury as an enemy, so this will see some improvement.
In Aries, Mercury can be precise, adaptable, and quick, but also sharp, angry, agitated, anxious, inpatient, aggressive, and impulsive. When Mercury transited in Aries it was also combust the Sun. Now it is moving past combustion and that also calms down any "heat/aggravation."
Mercury in Taurus is more practical and calmer than in Aries. According to Saravali, this placement indicates skillfulness, a firm disposition, wealth, and sweet/soft speech. Mercury will join Venus in Taurus which is a beautiful creative combination that suggests potential for more harmony in the world (one can hope). The shadow side of Mercury in Taurus is expressed as stubbornness, lethargy, and excessive caution.
Mercury transiting in Taurus will occupy the sixth house of the US Kelleher birth chart, and from here it will trine Pluto-Jupiter-Saturn in Capricorn over the coming week, which could have a constructive effect on the public health, economy, and employment matters. In the sixth house, Mercury can bring about an improvement in mental attitudes and the general conditions of the working class.
Love and light
