The slow sign meets the slow-down sign. Mostly fine — except for money & devices.
Mercury Retrograde for Taurus is mostly your friend. The pace of the retrograde matches your nervous system. The trap is in the place Taurus is most invested: money and material things. Subscriptions you have been auto-paying for a year that you never actually use. A purchase you "slept on" once and convinced yourself was due diligence. A contract that has been quietly working against you. Mercury Retrograde is the audit window. It is also a friendly time to revisit the body — the routine that has stopped working, the diet you have been on autopilot through. The gift is rare in modern life: a sanctioned three weeks of going slower than the room.
A purchase you slept on once but should have slept on three more times. A contract on autopay you forgot to audit.
The yearly cleanup of the material life. Taurus benefits from MR more than almost any sign — slow is your native register.
You will save more money in three weeks of audit than in three months of restraint.
For three weeks, every transaction over $100 sleeps for 48 hours before you commit. Taurus Mercury survives by enforced pause-on-spend.
