Mercury, the planet of communication and logic, enters the sign of Capricorn on December 1, 2023. Capricorn is a sign that is known for its ambition, practicality, and discipline. When Mercury is in Capricorn, we can expect to see a shift in our thinking and communication patterns.
Mercury will be spending some extra time there due to Mercury’s Retrograde coming up on December 13. While in Retrograde, Mercury moves back into Sagittarius on December 23, but re-enters Capricorn on January 13.
Those dates for Mercury in Capricorn are:
December 1 - 23 and then again, January 13 - February 5, 2024.
During this transit, we may become more focused on our goals and objectives. We will be more inclined to take a practical approach to problem-solving, and we will be less likely to be distracted by unnecessary details. We may also become more ambitious and driven, and we may be more likely to set our sights on high goals.
In terms of communication, we may become more direct and to-the-point. We will be less likely to sugarcoat our words, and we will be more likely to say what we mean. We may also become more cautious in our speech, and we may be more likely to think before we speak. We may be more likely to talk about things that are relevant and important.
Communication can be guarded or cautious. Our reactions are sensible, cool and level-headed, but we could come off as colder than usual, so be careful of that. We might lose our humor or be inclined toward sarcasm.
We may see a shift towards more practical and realistic thinking. We are able to sort out what is more relevant and essential. We may also see a rise in ambition and drive, as we become more focused on achieving their goals.
Changes in schedule can be even more annoying than usual during this cycle, but we should be prepared for this to happen as Mercury will be going into Retrograde on December 13 and we are already in the pre-Retrograde shadow.
We do need to be wary that our thinking becomes too rigid. We can be stubborn with our ideas and methods. There is a fine line between realism and open-mindedness. Don’t forget the lessons of Sagittarius and know that we can still expand our minds.
Overall, the transit of Mercury in Capricorn can be a positive time for progress and achievement. It is a time to focus on our goals and to take a practical approach to problem-solving. It is also a time to be mindful of our communication, and to make sure that we are clear and concise in our speech. With a little bit of effort, we can use the transit of Mercury in Capricorn to our advantage and use the energy to work toward achieving our goals.
