Mercury enters Taurus

Mercury crosses into Taurus on 3 May 2026 at 02:45 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Mercury in Taurus operates through earth means and at a fixed tempo. Mercury moves quickly and changes how conversation, negotiation and thinking are conducted.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so for as long as Mercury is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
