MERCURY RETROGRADE IN TAURUS
On May 23, Mercury retrogrades back into Taurus, at which time its reflective nature will be focused on finances, material resources, values and self-worth.
When it comes to finances, reviewing one's income, spending patterns and saving plans is an obvious starting point.
Given the current rate of inflation, not only is this cycle a timely one, but it can be very helpful if you need to review your budget, become an active comparison shopper and research ways to make your money go further.
Of course, money isn't t the only resource ruled by the Bull. It also rules over our values, which includes how much we value ourselves. Since our self-esteem is tied to how much we feel we deserve, it has an influence on how much we believe we can receive in good times as well as in bad. On that note, this cycle may find some of you reconsidering your sense of self-worth and if you find it falls short, reevaluating what you can do to improve it.
