Mercury Becomes Visible

Mercury reappears in the sky on May 6 at 6° Taurus, and if you've been feeling like your ideas couldn't find traction, like you were speaking clearly but nobody was hearing, this moment explains why. Mercury has been invisible since late February, over two months of the planet of communication turned inward, and that's a long time to go without Mercury's external support, and its return in the most grounded sign of the zodiac feels less like a gentle awakening and more like solid ground forming beneath your feet.

Where Mercury in Pisces dissolved clarity into intuition and dream-logic, Mercury in Taurus rebuilds it with methodical, practical precision. This rising is particularly well-suited for commercial activity. Taurus is the sign of value, real, tangible value, and Mercury becoming visible here opens a window for business negotiations, product launches, financial communications, and any transaction where substance matters more than style. The energy favours careful, well-prepared proposals over flashy improvisation. Taurus Mercury respects the pitch that's been thought through, not the one that's been polished.

For Gemini and Virgo, May 6 brings genuine relief. The long invisible stretch may have felt like shouting into a void. Ideas weren't landing, communications were misread, and mental energy was low. Now the current reverses. Clarity returns, and it returns wearing work boots. This is an excellent week to send proposals, submit applications, schedule important meetings, and restart anything that stalled during the long winter of Mercury's absence.
