Mercury first harmonizes Jupiter on May 5. This is a positive and helpful transit for business or our personal lives. Most of all this Mercury transit leans toward being hopeful; something we can all use more of!
When Mercury enters Taurus May 10, it will remain in this zodiac sign until May 26. Mercury is the planet associated with speech, thinking and all types of communication. Mercury also rules our intellect, ability to analyze, pets, travel, siblings and immediate family members. Get ready for communication to go from direct, bold and straightforward, to a more relaxed and thoughtful tone. Mercury in Taurus gives our communication and thinking a practical type of determination to achieve our hopes and plans. Decisions will be made more thoughtfully and carefully, so we will not be so quick to make important decisions. We will be prone to putting a lot of thought into what we say and how we communicate with and to others. Taurus rules the second house in astrology: income and possessions. Our thoughts during this period will turn to money, income, taxes, loans and financial matters, as well as issues concerning the material world.
Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Venus represents money, values, love and our social lives. Taurus is a rich and sensual sign and we will be more interested in material possessions and perhaps even the earth itself in some way. Expect to be more emotionally expressive and expansive when speaking, and others will be the same. Now is the time to communicate with your partner and peole you love; express the way you truly feel. Open communication will become easier, and be much more natural during Mercury’s transit through Taurus.
Taurus also rules the voice. Mercury in Taurus is a great time for those who are musically inclined and sing, do podcasts or anything involving the voice. The downside of Mercury/Taurus can have to do with stubbornness and unwillingness to change or accept new ideas. As Taurus is a fixed sign, change comes slowly with Mercury in this sign, and once a decision is made it is often irrevocable These three zodiac signs that will have a more difficult week and they include Pisces, Aries and Taurus, but once they overcome those challenges, life gets a whole lot better.
Life gets better for three zodiac signs starting on May 5:
1. Pisces

This week you could experience some heightened volatility on an emotional level due to several of the moon transits. The problems could come from a co-worker, partner or someone else you deal with on a regular basis and can be connected to someone who is overly critical, or their opinions may be interpreted this way whether it is intended or not.
One of the most important things to focus on this week is emotional balance and the ability to detach and not take things personally. It’s hard to tell whether or not someone is trying to throw you off balance deliberately but it is likely not intended.
The best answer is to reflect on and evaluate the conversation without allowing yourself to become emotionally reactive and then go from there if you believe this issue is big enough to bring back up at a later date. This could also create a period of self evaluation.
You may need to focus some on self care this week and mindful practices such as meditation. Engage your own deep inner wisdom on the issue and you will know how or even if you should respond further or let it go.
2. Aries

This week you will need to pay attention to health and family relationships. In terms of health this could be something as minor as stress but you need to pay attention to what is going on and make sure to get plenty of rest because it looks like you have been pushing things lately. If you have an issue of concern see a medical doctor, but nothing indicates this is a major problem easily overcome.
In terms of relationships there could be some tough challenges going this week in terms of family members which could create your stress. The problem may stem from some basic irritability that seems to be going on and if you don’t keep it under control it could turn into a bigger issue for those around you.
Try and create balance this week between your family members and professional life and this will go a long way in terms of alleviating the irritability. Communicating openly and calmly with them and prioritizing your own relaxation and self care will do a lot in terms of alleviating the problems.
3. Taurus

Self-confidence may be an issue this week and it looks like you may have difficulty concentrating on something or feel more restless than usual leading to difficulties in implementing goals and plans which can lead to a lack of self confidence. You may also feel you are not aligned with the groups you are a part of.
Any of us can experience a week like this due to planetary conditions so first off this is not a long term problem and conditions will change. At times like this the most important thing is to not allow your confidence to drop so low it’s hard to come back.
Feeling discouraged typically leads to negative thinking or in some cases becoming overly critical of yourself. As you go through the week focus on your successes, not your failures, and everyone has failures at times. Try and recreate the way you felt when you had your successes and keep this in your mind to whatever degree you can.
Also, lean on your support group or perhaps co-workers you trust. As always, in times like this self care is important along with getting plenty of rest, and before you know it you are back to normal!
