Mercury in Capricorn:
Mercury enters Capricorn: January. February 24th 11th
On Friday, January 24th, Mercury moves into Saturn’s sign of Capricorn, rewarding you for your efforts in writing and communication projects. This transit won’t be as pretty and can be intense as Pluto joins on January 29th, and Mercury will continue to combust until February 26th. The Sun will burn Mercury from January 17th to February 26th, but there will be no real impact until temperatures reach 5-6 degrees from February 3rd to 16th. This can keep your mind busy.
The first part of the transit will be in the Sun-ruled constellation Uttara Ashadaha (26:40 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Capricorn) until January 31st. This promotes intelligence and practicality. This includes the auspicious Abhiji constellation (Capricorn 6.40-11.17) from January 27th to 31st, when victory occurs. The next Shravana sign (Capricorn 10-23.20) February 1st-7th will see Mercury uncomfortable with the Moon’s more emotional nature of connection with others, even if it brings material success. This causes more problems. Thankfully, Mercury thrives in this sattvic sign when he is especially strong and understands using his intellect for the benefit of others and developing spiritual wisdom. The final part of the transit in Dhanishta from February 8th to 11th is more problematic in that the Mercury-Mars relationship brings about combative arguments, but there is a potential Capricorn energy that slows things down. If this can be overcome, it has the potential to support technological efforts.
Mercury and Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, are friends, a 5th house transit for Virgo, which brings additional joy in children, romance, spiritual initiations, sports, and given Mercury’s nature, games nights and word games and crosswords are likely to be popular. With Gemini rising, there will be more problems in this 8th house transit, and unexpected surprises related to legal and health issues may occur. Libra and Taurus rising will probably benefit more than Leo, Cancer, Scorpio rising and Moon signs.
Mercury conjunct Pluto on January 29th can cause intense mental activity, and intensity may show up in your speech and writing. You may have a strong desire to get to the bottom of a core issue or issue. It’s a great time to research and solve deep mysteries. Be wary of trying to screw people over with arguments. It can easily lead to angry outbursts. Although the transit is very quick, it may feel very intense for Gemini Rising as it rules the chart and is a time of deep transformation through deep thinking.
