What it means
New things don't sink in the first time, but they stick firmly — through repetition and practice. Speech is calm, without extras, attentive to usefulness. An opinion takes a long time to form, but then holds for years.
The flip side is stubbornness in your views: it's hard to change your mind, even with facts, and rushing you into decisions throws you off.
This isn't about you if you readily change your mind after a good argument and grasp everything the first time.
How to check it on yourself
Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.
If your Mercury is in Taurus
What should match. Think of three convictions about money, work or people. At least two you've held for more than ten years without change, though people tried to argue with them.
When it’s not about you. Two out of three have changed in recent years after a conversation or a book — this isn't about you.
