Mercury in your birth chart
Mercury in Taurus
Feet on the ground
Mercury in Taurus thinks slowly and through all five senses. You don't trust the abstract: you need to touch, see and test before you believe, and once you truly grasp something, you keep it for good. You speak calmly, in no rush to convince, and your words carry weight because you measure them. You learn through repetition and concrete experience, and prefer the useful to the clever. Your common sense is an anchor for others. The challenge is rigidity: changing your mind is hard, and you sometimes mistake stubbornness for firmness. Let a new idea ripen instead of shutting the door on it.
You think calmly, retain what you learn and ground any idea.
Opening your mind to the new without digging into the familiar.
