Mercury enters Taurus from Aries on 1 April 2030 at 04:47 UTC. A retrograde shapes this stay. It begins on 13 April 2030, and moving backward, the planet slips back into Aries on 28 April 2030 at 13:44 UTC, after 27 days in Taurus. The retrograde ends on 6 May 2030. Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus.
The tradition reads Mercury in Taurus as a steady, practical thinker: slower to decide, but thorough, sensory and attentive to what has real value. With the retrograde, astrologers describe a season of review, when plans and agreements made earlier in the month come back for another look. Delays and miscommunications are the classic complaints. A modest suggestion is to keep your notes from early April and reread them before finalizing anything.
