Mercury in Capricorn

The month of December begins by heralding the energies of Mercury in Capricorn. Capricorn is pragmatic, disciplined, and structured. If you know any Capricorns, you know they are married to their career/work. Capricorn is dutiful, industrious, and responsible. The planet of commerce, communication, and mental processes in Capricorn will help us get organized, efficient, and deliberate. This is a great month to focus on long-term goals, future plans and get organized for the year ahead.

Here are some questions to ponder while Mercury is in Capricorn:

What areas of your life need your attention at this time? What action steps can you take to transform those areas? What is in your control to change and what is not?  
What do you wish to create this upcoming year? What do you want your life to look like? What needs to change in order to accomplish that?

Capricorn is systematic and calculating so creating a clear, practical action plan is key to success under Mercury in Capricorn. Under this influence, our mind is focused and sharp. Determination and hard work are on our side.

Capricorn also teaches us about patience and perseverance. Its symbol it’s the Sea Goat…capable of hiking from the depth of the ocean to the highest peak of mountains with its persistence, endurance, resolve, and self-control. So what mountains are you now ready to climb? What are you wanting to accomplish this upcoming year? What dreams and goals are you now ready to pursue?

Capricorns tend to be lone wolves by nature so when Mercury is in Capricorn it’s a great time to reconnect with the self.  Take advantage of doing that this month. The mind can benefit from grounding, solitude, silence, and rest. Go on a spiritual journey, pilgrimage, or retreat. Sit down with yourself and meditate. Spend time with yourself and write in your journal. Take a warm, soothing bath with your favorite music. Go for a walk by the ocean. Take time to reconnect with yourself and recharge. Close your eyes. Go inward. Visit the Temple of your own heart.  Feel into the wisdom of the heart. Check-in with yourself, this is the time to do so.
