Although he was quick-thinking, fast-acting and short-tempered while in Aries, Mercury loses all sense of urgency the moment he crosses into Taurus.
Not only does his approach become thoughtful, measured and cautious, but his temper grows a long fuse and his standard reply to most questions is, "Let me get back to you on that."
While the latter is especially true if money is involved, the fact of the matter is that Mercury in Taurus doesn't make decisions quickly or lightly. To do otherwise would go against the grounded, deliberate nature of the Bull.
Since Taurus rules money, you may find you that your attention is focused on financial matters now. Whether you're considering the state of your own wallet or the nation's economy, you can expect to view such matters through practical eyes.
And should you decide that action is warranted, you can expect to take concrete steps but only after careful deliberation.
