Sun Conjunct Retrograde Mercury...

starts on April 28 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on April 29 at 2.44am in Kilmore, leaves on April 29.  Both at 8 degrees and 17 minutes of Taurus.

As mentioned several times, the Sun energises and highlights whatever it touches in the sky and/or birthchart.  The connection with the retrograde Mercury suggests that our 'Mercury' themes will be under the spotlight.

Mercury represents how we process data, and the way we connect with others.  With it being retrograde it seems that the way we normally do these things will be prone to being a bit 'backwards'.  The people and situations represented by Mercury (see which houses have Gemini or Virgo on the cusps) are likely to be playing a big part in what is happening now.

The conjunction of the Sun and Mercury represents a pivotal point in the Mercury retrograde cycle.

If you have personal planets or points in Taurus, then this is likely to be an especially important period of time.
