The Upside of Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn

During Mercury retrograde in Capricorn, we all start thinking more about how to achieve our goals. Perhaps you need to recommit to a goal or/and retrain? Now is the time to start planning. You can break down the steps to achieving your goal in a realistic way.

If you’ve been working hard on a project at work, this is the time to review it before you finish it. Yes, delays are possible now, but if you use the energies well, you could just give the whole thing one last good going over before submission. Potentially, this is also a very good time to take up again a work project you started earlier but let lapse.

Also, just for the record, because of the association that Capricorn has with tradition, this is also a great time to research your family history.

Five things to do

Watch out for…

It’s not as if you’re incapable of communicating – it’s just that your words don’t come out quite as kindly as the person you’re speaking to might wish. What you consider being direct might be misconstrued as an accusation or command.

Try not to take on too many responsibilities. Your intentions are good, but if you’re stage-managing others’ lives, they aren’t free to succeed or fail on their own terms. You aren’t free to live your best life either.

This isn’t the time to lay any kind of groundwork as there’s a fair chance it will need to be redone. That said, it’s a good time to re-lay groundwork.

Blind trust in authority could cause problems because it’s hard to know which experts you can trust under this cycle. You might reconsider those you previously thought spoke with an air of wisdom. Your best guide is your own inner voice of authority.
