Mercury stations direct in Capricorn on January 18th at exactly 7:12 am CST and will stay in Capricorn until February 11th when it enters Aquarius. We still have close to a month left to work with this energy so let’s use it to our advantage by considering what we say and how we see matters more seriously.
For many of us, this retrograde brought up issues around intent. You can’t be intentional if you don’t know what you intend in the first place. For many of us, the retrograde showed us that when we communicate or consider matters haphazardly, we don’t often achieve the desired outcomes. I hope we can move forward by being a little more thoughtful and much more purposeful in our mindset.
Mercury’s first connection after stationing direct is on January 26th, when it squares off with Chiron. Our insecurities may make us hesitate to communicate. Consider more carefully where your self-doubt stems from.
Next, on January 29th, Mercury connects pleasantly with Uranus. This is a great time to consider matters with a new or different perspective. Be open to another method or style of communication.
Then on February 6th, Mercury connects with Neptune. Combining compassion with wisdom may open up an opportunity for us to communicate with even greater clarity.
Finally, on February 10th, Mercury joins Pluto. This is a powerful moment astrologically because Mercury won’t join Pluto again in Capricorn IN OUR LIFETIMES. This may be an ideal time to communicate something very important to you or make a powerful decision that you have considered carefully.
Mercury in Capricorn rewards the courage and determination of our intelligence. Go forward now with a better understanding that a clear and level-headed approach to matters is often best for the next few weeks. Communicate with purpose and clarity, and continue to examine matters closely. Our minds are an incredible resource, and I hope we now understand that we should use that resource wisely.
