Mercury retrograde in Taurus does give an opportunity to readjust those things which still need attention as you walk your Aries path of expressing your divine purpose. There is really no need for drama associated with Mercury retrograde - rather than focus on what can go wrong, bless those things that get worked out for the better. As Mercury rewinds through the earth sign of Taurus, he also reminds us to name and release old baggage. This can be things, people, issues, or anything else that weighs you down.
 
The Sun Joins In - Coronal Eruptions and Solar Flares This Week

I suspected something was up when friends and clients kept calling asking: "is Mercury in retrograde?" My reply, "No, not yet, what's up?" The reply invariably was: "my computer just had a meltdown," or, "I just spend the entire day trying to get a printer to work." 

Has this happened to you this week? Here is some interesting news from www.SpaceWeather.com:
 
On Saturday, April 11th, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field. The impact caused a G2-class geomagnetic storm and, for the first time this year, ignited auroras over the continental United States. And, on Tuesday, April 13, another big one: One of the biggest prominences in years erupted from the sun's northwestern limb yesterday. The massive plasma-filled structure rose up and burst during a ~2 hour period around 0900 UT on April 13th. Observers in Europe had a great view.(photo credit:JoDahlman/spaceweather.com)

Over the past year, sunspot and solar flare activity has been extremely low, and many scientists correlate this with the localized cooling trends that have occurred on earth (although the polar ice caps are still disintegrating at an alarming rate!)
