Planets mercury

If you're familiar with Mercury, it's likely because of those dreaded retrogrades!

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and the smallest planet in our solar system - only slightly larger than Earth's Moon.

Communicator Mercury is entering sensual Taurus, which means that you can expect sexy texts, flirting, and stubbornness.

For the past few weeks, Mercury, the Planet of Communication, has been in retrograde. Our texts went haywire, emails haven't been sent, and our exes popped back up out of the blue — all of the classic chaos to be expected of Mercury retrograde. But now, on February 3, Mercury will finally station direct, bringing all of this month's pandemonium to an end.
