Mercury in Taurus, 2028
Mercury enters Taurus on Saturday 15 April 2028, 11:48 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Gemini on Monday 1 May 2028, 01:42 UTC, after 16 days.
Mercury arrives in Taurus from Aries on 15 April 2028 at 11:48 UTC and leaves for Gemini on 1 May 2028 at 01:42 UTC. The visit is brief, 16 days, and the planet keeps moving forward throughout. Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus.
The tradition treats Mercury in Taurus as a slower, more deliberate way of thinking: practical, patient and grounded in the senses. Taurus is associated with possessions, comfort, steady work and the things we value, so this placement is read as good for careful planning, craft and plain, unhurried speech. Astrologers also note a tendency to cling to an opinion once it is formed. A modest idea for these two weeks: finish one practical task with your hands, and take your time before making up your mind.
