Mercury enters Aquarius

Mercury enters Aquarius

Mercury is in Aquarius from January 13-31, 2027. Later, Mercury will return to Aquarius, from February 18-March 18, 2027. [This two-step transit is due to Mercury’s retrograde that begins in Pisces on February 9th, but retreats into Aquarius on February 18th. Mercury turns direct on March 3rd, but has more of the sign of Aquarius to traverse.]

When Mercury is in Aquarius, we are hungry for knowledge and open to new and original ideas. We begin to think outside of the box, and our thinking becomes more progressive and objective. Our communication and thought patterns are spontaneous, somewhat fragmented, and liberal. This is a time when inventive thinking is at a peak.

We’re reasonable, finding it easier to separate intellect and emotion when assessing a situation. Although progressive-minded and receptive to new studies and information, we are not quick to sway from our ideas and beliefs. During this cycle, we take more interest in thinking that’s daring or original. As we envision a better future, we can come up with truly interesting ideas and concepts.
