FAQ

Does Mercury in Taurus mean slow thinking?
It does not mean poor comprehension. This placement usually processes information through concrete evidence and takes time to settle, but the result is often retained steadily; for an important decision, provide a practical example and a deadline instead of demanding an instant reply.
Is Mercury in Taurus always stubborn?
Not always, although a settled opinion is unlikely to move because of vague persuasion. Clear evidence and visible results carry more weight than repeated pressure, so any proposed change should identify the specific fact that has changed.
