EXTENDED CONCENTRATION AND EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION !!!


Mercury began its sharply focused transit through the traditional, reliable sign of Capricorn Friday, December 2nd, at 4:19 PM EST ... Mercury was last in Capricorn from December 16th, 2015 through January 4th, 2016 ... 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 ... 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 ones self 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 unless, of course, MODIFIED by something else in the natal chart !!!



Mercury in Capricorn can make one 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 and communicating especially if there is no other energy adversely modifying it !!!



Mercury in Capricorn can make one ambitious, careful, calculating and very 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 ...



Mercury in Capricorn teaches us how to think and communicate through what it is we are "building" in our lives ... 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 ... another essential lesson 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, skeptical, mentally overloaded, lacking originality and imagination, given to melancholy, boring and rigid, suspicious, devious, avaricious, uses others, stern, dry minded



Mercury now joins Venus, which will be leaving the party on December 7th when it enters Aquarius, and Pluto already transiting through the sign of Capricorn with the Sun to follow in 18 days on December 21st ... that is a LOT of very serious, focused energy encouraging us to build something in our lives that will be practical and long lasting !!!



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 the sign of Capricorn until ... WAIT FOR IT ... FEBRUARY 7th !!! ... and you wise, informed people out there know exactly why ... Mercury begins its next retrograde journey on December 19th when it will have gotten no further than 15 degrees 8 minutes Capricorn ... during this retrograde journey it will return to Sagittarius on January 4th and retrograde back to 28 degrees 51 minutes Sagittarius  where it stations back into direct motion on January 8th ... so it will have to reenter Capricorn, which occurs on January 12th, a second time to make its complete transit this time around !!!


No doubt my fellow Capricorns and I will come up with some truly scathingly brilliant ideas as it passes through our birth sign and eventually transits over our natal Sun placement ... but many of those brilliant ideas may have to be rethought and tweaked especially if we came up with them between December 2nd and December 19th - and that goes for everyone else as well !!! ... perhaps during the 61 days it will take for this transit of Mercury to completely play out, many of us may find ourselves summing up this transit by the very well known phrase made famous from the television series Dragnet - "JUST THE FACTS MA'AM" !!!
