Mercury began its "practical" transit through the sign of Capricorn yesterday evening, 11/30, at 7:11 PM EST ... this is the energy of a highly organized mentality ... it is a hard worker that stores up facts and figures for future practical use ... it is cautious and highly methodical as it knows what it wants and exactly how it plans to get it ... now we will really get down to some serious Holiday shopping and truly look for those hard to beat bargains ... the mind as well as the tongue are serious and sensible ... communication is made cautiously, and for those born with this energy in their youth there could be doubt as to ones mental ability therefore yielding a need to prove onesself as having a good mind ... there is sometimes this doubt associated with limited educational opportunities in childhood that may be overcome by further study in adulthood ... words here are usually not spoken until they are well thought out ... one can appear to be rather formal, authoritative, reserved and self-sufficient which can sometimes inhibit communications with others ... natural logic and cautious planning are oriented towards material success and/or personal responsibilities ... thinking is well-organized ... learning is achieved through persistence, dedication, and steady progress ... one might become a little pessimistic under this energy by mistakenly focusing on limits rather than potentials ... here we have a Mercury/Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) relationship that will ultimately give a very structured, organized and well thought out quality to the mind if there is no other energy adversely modifying it ...
Mercury in Capricorn can make one ambitious, careful, calculating and patient ... one excels at handling detail and rarely loses sight of the overall picture ... people born under this energy often obtain positions of leadership due to their dependability and their air of authority ... one must guard against becoming too dictatorial though ... the darker side of life is often viewed under this energy yet a redeeming trait would be the very dry sense of humor bestowed here ...
The essence of Mercury in Capricorn is thinking through building ... the mind rules the matter ... it's the organizer ... there is the capability of extended concentration and excellent organization ... one becomes realistic rather than idealistic in the approach to their goals ... little of practical consequence escapes ones attention due to a keen sense of awareness ... think of Mercury in Capricorn like a laser beam - pointed and locked on exactly what it wants and it will know exactly how to get it ... ultimately it is not the facts that ones mind contains that determines its quality - it is how you use your mind and what you use it for that counts ... one of the essential lessons of Mercury in Capricorn is to learn to use concrete facts but NOT be weighed down by them ... when you achieve this, you realize how ridiculous it is being enslaved to material status and belongings ... the energy of Mercury in Capricorn can be expressed in the following ways:
POSITIVE: good timing, mentally cautious, not easily fooled, retentive mind, methodical mind, orderly mind, serious when necessary, level-headed, clever, discriminating, shrewd, profits from little, employs others, sober, clear and deliberating mind, strong concentration, painstaking, patient
NEGATIVE: procrastinating, slow learner, sceptical, mentally overloaded, lacking originality and imagination, given to melancholy, boring and rigid, suspicious, devious, avaricious, uses others, stern, dry minded
Use this energy well and you will never lose sight of what really counts the most - your resourcefulness ... be sure to give your mind a break when it needs it or IT may break !!! ... help to inspire others with a goal that you are able to see more clearly than they can ...
Mercury remains in Capricorn until - GULP - February 3rd due to its - wait for it, wait for it - 4th and final retrograde period for this year beginning next Friday, December 10th ... Capricorn born you now have the potential to be infused with many scathingly brilliant ideas but, due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde this month, it might be wise not to take action and implement them until after December 30th when the Mercury Retrograde ends ... yes, I know that seems like a long time but wouldn't you rather have successful outcomes rather than waste your time on something that might prove futile and costly down the road ??? ... It also might be a wise suggestion to try and finish your Holiday shopping by December 9th if possible - yeah I know probably aint gonna happen!!! ... HO HO HO !!!
