Mercury
enters Capricorn at 5:12 am Tuesday.
Mercury in Capricorn is all business!! Mercury here also wants to be
the Answer Man, the one who at least wants
to be the one people turn to for the answers. He may even gather all
sorts of factoids and expect you to be quite impressed by his
knowledge, whether it is pertinent to the matter at hand or not. A
more mature Capricorn personality focuses more on filling others'
need for the facts, just the facts, ma'am. Cappy needs to focus less
on what he knows
and more on what information he shares
for mutual benefit and advancement. To his credit, Capricorn has a
steady and serious mind that readily studies long and hard, and
absorbs details while never losing sight of the Big Picture. Does not
like to be disagreed with! Famous people with Mercury in Capricorn
include: Edgar Allen Poe, Lord Byron, Louis Pasteur, Douglas
MacArthur, Everett Dirksen, Barry Goldwater, Shelley Berman, Margaret
Chase Smith, Richard Nixon, and curiously enough, W. C. Fields!
The
Sun at 3 degrees Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces at 12:06 pm
Tuesday. If
this contacts any natal planets, this transit can find you more
disposed to entertain spiritual ideas and ideals, to meditate, to
deeply enjoy listening to music, to study occult subjects like
astrology or the tarot. You may also be more sensitive to others'
feelings. It's a good time to sit quietly by a fountain or waterfall,
and just listen to the babbling and burbling waters.
Mars
at 8 degrees Libra opposes Uranus in Aries at 3:33 am Wednesday,
Christmas Day.
The personal energy of Mars needs to work off some steam, but runs up
against restrictions that cramp its style. Hence the Uranus energy
goes to work to break down those confining walls and strictures.
Rebellion! Revolution! Stand back, everybody! You're irritable and
impatient and may lash out without planning to – or your projected
resentment is directed back at you. Yes, you probably need to
liberate yourself on some level, but telling off the boss doesn't do
you any favors in the long run. Creative change that is suppressed
may boomerang on you as health problems OR as accidents, so do try to
manage your own change. Whoa, the Moon is also conjunct Mars that
night, intensifying feelings and possibly leading to heated exchange
of words. Don't let it be you that starts something.
Mercury
at 3 degrees Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces at 4:04 am
Thursday. To
me, Mercury and Neptune just do not mix well at all. Some may believe
that there is room for positive growth in spiritual thought, or the
use of mantras or affirmations, working with artistic imagination,
intuition, etc. It may actually be helpful to focus on creative work
under this transit. But frankly I think that most of us let this
transit go by with an hour or a day of mere daydreaming, with nothing
to show for it. Or even worse, they let some huckster rip them off
with promises of all kinds of freebies and sweeteners.

ancient astronomy. The article on Pope Francis is here:

Readers
can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant
for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects
are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the
Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern
Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES
- March 20-April 19 - Mercury enters your solar tenth house
on Tuesday; you are better able to communicate your confidence and
authority in your field. Cardinal signs get stressed by the
Mars-Uranus opposition on Christmas morning (Wed.); Aries might rebel
against all they are “expected” to do and just take off with solo
plans for the day. You unwind with an eggnog party Friday afternoon.
TAURUS
- April 20-May 20 – You enjoy a relaxed Sunday afternoon
with professional friends. Mercury enters your solar ninth house on
Tuesday; you may feel a desire to teach, but need to avoid a pedantic
mode. Mechanical problems may affect air flights on Tuesday or
Wednesday, so I think it is best to travel earlier in the week. You
unwind with an eggnog party Friday afternoon.
GEMINI
- May 21-June 20 - Mercury enters your solar eighth house on
Tuesday; you pick up on hidden motives and needs in the messages
others give out. A child may have a temper tantrum Wednesday night;
no doubt this is merely from the strain of being good for so many
days. You unwind with an eggnog party Friday afternoon.
CANCER
- June 21-July 22 - Mercury enters your solar seventh house on
Tuesday; you can get really good at addressing the concerns of others
once you have identified them. Cardinal signs get stressed by the
Mars-Uranus opposition on Christmas morning (Wed.); It does no good
to pout, Moon-baby, so just go with the flow. Pallas sextiles and
Ceres squares Jupiter in your sign this week; your organizational
talents take precedence over your cooking skills.
LEO
- July 23-Aug. 22 – The Moon is in Leo Sunday until
mid-afternoon. You may receive a phone call from one of the kids
early Sunday, probably just to touch base and confirm travel
arrangements. Mercury enters your solar sixth house on Tuesday; you
become stronger at synthesizing all the data into a cohesive
statement. Have a merry Christmas Wednesday! You probably enjoy
playing Santa!
VIRGO
- Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – The Moon is in Virgo from 2:19 pm
Sunday till 1:17 am Wednesday. Sunday afternoon favors enjoying the
company of children or other loved ones. Sunday night is movie night.
Monday favors a lunch with your mentor. Mercury enters your solar
fifth house on Tuesday; your communication style is both strengthened
and weakened by your need to have the last word. You are please
Tuesday night with your children's progress in school. You reach
loved ones by phone Friday evening for a good chat.
LIBRA
- Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Mercury enters your solar fourth house
Tuesday; you pick up on others' insecurities and are able to validate
them while taking them apart rationally. The Moon is in Libra from
1:17 am Wednesday till Friday morning. Cardinal signs get stressed by
the Mars-Uranus opposition on Christmas morning (Wed.); have any
nicks or cuts tended to to avoid infections. Don't be the one to
start any arguments Wednesday night, either. You unwind with an
eggnog party Friday afternoon.
SCORPIO
- Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – You may receive several calls asking for
information Tuesday morn, the kind of info that only you can provide.
The Mars-Uranus opposition on Wednesday threatens accidents if you
are distracted, so drive safely. You know exactly what your kids are
thinking Thursday morning. The Moon is in Scorpio from 8:58 am Friday
till midday next Sunday. You enjoy a movie matinee Friday, followed
by an eggnog party. You feel rather generous midday Saturday.
SAGITTARIUS
- Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – You send out holiday greetings bright
and early Sunday, complete with animations. Mercury enters your solar
second house on Tuesday; your practical side comes to the fore this
month. A friend gets a wee bit testy Wednesday night; jolly him
along, buy him a drink, or go out for a walk together. Hold onto your
money Thursday, and avoid signing contracts unless the other party
has been thoroughly vetted.
CAPRICORN
- Dec. 22-Jan. 19 - Mercury enters your sign on Tuesday; you
do go on, don't you? Cardinal signs get stressed by the Mars-Uranus
opposition on Christmas morning (Wed.); you might have to soothe
ruffled feathers and figure out a Plan B. You unwind with an eggnog
party Friday afternoon.
AQUARIUS
- Jan. 20-Feb. 17 - Mercury enters your solar twelfth house on
Tuesday; you may benefit from attending writing workshops or other
quiet retreats. Juno is powering to the end of your sign this month;
honor the idea of marriage, possibly by congratulating the happily
married couple who are your best friends. Have a merry Christmas
Wednesday! You probably kept some people busy with a group decorating
project sometime this month.
PISCES
- Feb. 18-March 19 - Mercury enters your solar eleventh house
on Tuesday; you are able to soften your communication style with a
friendlier, folksier approach. Also midday Tuesday, the Sun
highlights any spiritual tendencies you have; you may enjoy sitting
by a stream or maybe the water feature at the mall. You may
unintentionally mislead someone Thursday morning, so don't leave out
key details. Chiron in your sign is irritated by Mars; maybe you
should have a health issue checked out.
