Interpretation

Mercury in Taurus thinks slowly and deliberately. Your mind is practical, concrete, and resistant to ideas that can't be applied. You process information through the senses and through repetition. Once you've formed an opinion, changing it requires substantial evidence. The gift is mental endurance and common sense.
