As we head to the close of the year, Mercury in Capricorn, the sign of father time, invites us to begin a consequential review of the people, places, things, goals, enterprises, and ideas that we are truly committed to, and want to advance in the New Year. Mercury retrograde in Capricorn will also be inspiring us to review  and recommit to, the daily disciplines, good habits, and the capacity to focus, in a way that will assure success. It may be time to release certain goals, so we can give our undivided attention to those that are more important to us.  It may be that there are a number of things we are truly committed to.

Saturn the ruler of Capricorn is traveling through visionary Pisces during this retrograde, inviting us to get serious about our most inspired dreams, and put a solid foundation under them. It’s a beautiful day for quiet contemplation, meditation and reflection on our deepest sense of duty, commitment, and responsibility. During Mercury’s retrograde, on December 23rd, Mercury will back into Sagittarius from Capricorn, changing the tenor of the retrograde to one that is more philosophical. At this point in the retrograde, it will time to review our mission statements, and the stories, beliefs, writing projects, and ideas that give our goals and lives meaning. Mercury will station direct on January 1st inviting us to pivot our minds forward, and head into the New Year with greater clarity and resolve and purpose. Till then verbal restraint and silence are golden. May clarity, focus and your true commitments find you during this retrograde. PS: It is always advised to bring the higher mind into all of our ruminations.

Much Love to All to Demitra.
