Mercury is the planet of intellect, speech, trade, writing, calculation and learning. It is youthful, curious and adaptable, and it takes on the nature of the planets around it. A strong Mercury gives quick thinking and good business sense; a stressed Mercury can scatter attention. Its house shows where you think and communicate most.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. It stands for stability, wealth, comfort, beauty and patience. Planets here work slowly and steadily, seeking tangible, lasting results. It is the sign of the farmer, the banker and the artist. It values loyalty, good food, music and security, and it resists sudden change.
Astrology describes tendencies, not certainties. A single placement is only one part of a chart; the whole kundli, its strength and the running dasha change how it shows up. For guidance and interest only.
