Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes
Mercury Goes Retrograde in Taurus
Mercury, the planet that helps us manage communication, travel, electronics and your everyday thinking, will appear to be moving backwards for its retrograde period, this time in Taurus. From April 18 through May 11, 2010, the retrograde period will be playing its mischief in your life. Check out what's going on for your Sun sign or Rising sign, and discover how you can take all the foibles of Mercury Retrograde and turn them around to work for you!
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
It's time for you to stop rushing through the act of protecting your resources and take actions that support your best financial interests. An opportunity could arise that reminds you of something you did in the past in order to make a living. You could return from a freelance career to a full time job, or vice-versa. The key is to re-invent yourself in ways that allow you to demonstrate your serious attitude toward being productive and reliable. Read more ...
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
It's hard not to feel "picked on" when Mercury decides to retrograde in your sign, so to some degree your friends, colleagues and family will feel your pain. Don't let that become an excuse for doing less than you should, though. This is a time for you to re-examine your image and transform your appearance, from the inside out. Start the retrograde period by examining your feelings: what do you want from your work life, your family, your relationships? Read more ...
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Everyone believes your mind is in constant motion, and to some extent it's true. During this Mercury Retrograde, though, you will probably feel the need to slow down and let yourself linger with your thoughts rather than let them flee. You can't force solutions to the situations you get involved with, but the answers might come when you listen to that calm, still voice. Relax and get in touch with what you really want!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
What does "belonging" mean to you? Mercury's retrograde period will force you to confront this issue, no matter how many times you say you'd rather retreat into your shell and shut out the rest of the world. You'll be seeking some kind of clan to join. Clubs or community organizations you had passed on earlier in your life could reappear, handing you that golden second chance you always wished you could get. Read more ...
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You know just how much status and achievement mean to you, and you're almost always willing to be the leader. Now, as Mercury retrogrades through your 10th House of Success, you'll get to prove what a valuable asset you are. Authority figures that might have questioned your abilities in the past will test you again. This time, if you maintain a slow and steady pace, you'll be able to demonstrate your ability to exceed their expectations. Read more ...
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

This Mercury Retrograde period will present you with challenges that test your ability to look at the big picture. Your plan to put things in order could be disrupted just long enough for you to detect the need for further information. Explore the world beyond your boundaries, and don't overlook any chance you might have to learn something new. Read more ...
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Sex and intimacy will be big issues for you as this Mercury Retrograde period unfolds.

Read more ...
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
One-to-one connections have a lifetime's worth of lessons to teach, and this Mercury Retrograde period will help you digest a big chunk of the curriculum. A relationship from your past, or an issue between you and a partner that has been swept under the carpet, is likely to come up now. When problems arise, you might wonder if it's really worth going head-to-head with the significant others in your life. Read more ...
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Your enthusiasm amuses and inspires everyone who knows you, but sometimes it can get you into trouble. This tends to happen when you don't pay attention to details. So, although you might have to hit a few walls before you accept the message Mercury Retrograde is trying to get through to you, eventually you'll learn something about follow through. Interference with your daily life will help you appreciate the "boring" parts of your routine. Read more ...
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
The idea of anything interfering with your plans can be upsetting, but as it happens, this Mercury Retrograde really won't be so bad. It's true that your social life might be disrupted some: you or your friends might not show up where you were supposed to be, but you'll probably like some of the surprises that come your way. People you used to know long ago could pop up and reappear in your social network, electronically or otherwise. Read more ...
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
It might seem odd for a forward-thinking person like you to consider looking back into your past for answers, but that will be a major feature of this Mercury Retrograde period.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Your mind is wired differently than most people's, but that doesn't mean you get a free pass to remain in the world of imagination.
