Mercury re-enters Capricorn

Mercury returns to the sign of Capricorn

Mercury was in Capricorn from December 13, 2021-January 2, 2022. It now returns to Capricorn in retrograde motion on January 25th, 2022, and will continue to travel the sign until February 14th.

When Mercury is in Capricorn, our thinking is methodical and our focus is sober and practical. It is easier to concentrate on the task at hand under this influence. Our conversations may be quite realistic or focused on business/practical matters. Our thought patterns and communication styles become more logical, orderly, and organized. We are more able to sort out what is relevant and essential. Realism enters the picture, our speech is no-nonsense, and precision becomes important to us. We need to be wary of becoming too rigid in our thinking. We may come across as cold or harsh. For some, there is a fine line between realism and pessimism.
