Over the wee hours of the morning, communication specialist Mercury enters ambitious Capricorn. Our thoughts and speech become much more grounded and precise in this earthy energy. This promotes positive, but serious thinking in both areas of building business and  framing our relationships. Intentions are strategically transmitted, relaying dedication for success. This is the extra mental boost needed, especially with Mars (energy) in productive Virgo, Jupiter (expansion) in determined Taurus, and Sun (self) with Pluto (transformation) both in Capricorn. We have the tools to create or recreate tremendously, from our selves to our individual lives.

With the flip side not far from an option, Mercury in Capricorn can bring us face to face with deep-rooted fears. Frustrations can lead to limitations and self-sabotage when we place more value on other’s opinions and judgments, rather than on our own. Nervous energy could be of result, which manifests in the weaker parts of our physical system. We should be aware that the energy is much more heavier with these planetary placements. In short, our inner bulldozer is fueled and ready to pave a new path for ourselves, once we decide to take out foot off the gas pedal. This weight could be felt with more fatigue, sleepiness, or pessimism than what we’re use to, especially if we’re not pushing ourselves in a slow, steady fashion. Slow, continued movement is necessary now, because a slower pace teaches us patience, so that we may learn and plan accordingly… to avoid mistakes from spontaneous action.

Opportunities manifest through our efforts as Mercury trines fortunate Jupiter. Good vibrations are released in socializing, speaking, listening, travel, spiritual journeys, legal issues, publications, and writing. A shift in course exists as Mercury squares chaotic Uranus shortly after, which can create crossed wires in what we are trying to transmit and receive. Winds of change are produced, and misunderstandings are likely if we jump to conclusions, rather than look at the underlying issue. As the tides rise with a waxing Cancer Moon, all can be extremely sensitive and ready to burst to protect our emotional needs. We are always in control of our life direction, but for just today, we must decide on either swaying cautiously with the waves, or courageously sailing against them. It’s our choice. It’s always our choice. And we’re always responsible for our own reaction and outcome.

‘We need to regularly stop and ask ourselves if we are moving in the direction of more honesty or not’.

Tarot guidance from Hermit rx and Moon: We fail to see beyond what meets the eye. “People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” Jim Morrison
