 Mercury, ruler of the mind, thinking, and communication, lands in Aquarius Saturday, February 11th. While Mercury transits Aquarius annually, and its influence is considered "fleeting," this time, its arrival into Aquarius will feel bigger for us, as it's been in Saturn-ruled Capricorn since December. It was there longer than usual because it retrograded from mid-December to mid-January, and this retrograde was a significant one. You see, Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, and it's getting ready to move into Aquarius in late March until 2044. This is a big deal. Pluto takes 200+ years to transit the zodiac, spending more time in some signs than others due to its elliptical orbit. That means this was Mercury's last retrograde in Capricorn for a couple of centuries, and its conjunction with Pluto on Friday, 2/10 will be the last one for approximately the same length of time as well. We are in the process right now of ending one era and beginning a new one, and Mercury is helping us with the mental part. If we've been grappling with problems we have not been able to find solutions to, Mercury in Aquarius may just be the thing to bust us out of this rut and lend brand new insight that leads to spontaneous ideas that bring new, inventive solutions. The Vibe Shift.... Mercury has been in Capricorn since December, and in "review mode," covering some rough territory, as it backtracked over the degrees Pluto covered between 2012 and 2022. That means we were reviewing and mentally processing any big life transformation we moved through during those years - and yep, that includes the pandemic. So any people, memories, dreams, or events that came back in or echoed that that have recently come up in the past few weeks were for very good reason - it's our opportunity to process everything that's happened before we move on, and Mercury into Aquarius is the foreshadowing of Pluto moving into Aquarius in late March. While Mercury in Capricorn is great for practical thinking, long-term planning, and goal-setting (maybe even signing contracts to do with long-term plans for the future), Mercury in Aquarius is like "fresh-air." It frees the mind from conditional thinking (if we allow it), and helps us "think outside the box." While Capricorn is concerned with rules and tradition, Aquarius wants to break the status quo. It's progressive, innovative, and inventive, while still being logical and objective. If we've been grappling with problems we have not been able to find solutions to, Mercury in Aquarius may just be the thing to bust us out of this rut and lend brand new insight that leads to spontaneous ideas that bring new, inventive solutions. The Details.... (Aspects) Mercury lands in Aquarius on Saturday, February 11th, in square to the moon at 28° Libra, which is in turn in square to Pluto at 28° Capricorn, with Mercury just coming off of it's conjunction to Pluto one day before. Any insight that came from the intense final meeting of Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn for a couple of centuries and deeper understanding of what this whole Pluto in Capricorn era since 2008 was about for you might feel a little crunchy today. That's because this is a profound vibe shift, a wrapping up of the past era, and a foreshadowing of what's next, all together, and as it happens, it does so at an impasse to the moon - how we feel good about ourselves and life, square Pluto - our deeply held insecurities. The good news is, both Mercury and the moon are fleeting influences - so this is passing, and fast. 2/13 - 2/17: Mercury in Aquarius squares up to the north and south node of increase/destiny/future and release/past in Taurus and Scorpio, respectively. The north node of desire and destiny has been in Taurus since January 2022 and represents our collective desire for more security, resources, and pleasure in life coming out of the restrictions of the pandemic. We were moved towards these desires greatly in spring of 2022, but still had work today around the south node in Scorpio. As Mercury now in Aquarius in a totally new energetic dynamic squares up to these two points, we get mental clarity around what we are moving towards, and away from. 2/18 to 2/26: Mercury in Aquarius trines Mars in Gemini and squares Uranus in Taurus. The air to air Mercury-Mars flow aspect speeds up our thinking and desire and motivation to achieve our ambitions. The square to Uranus means an overactive mind, possible tech/communication issues, and to expect the unexpected. Watch restlessness and impulsiveness, think before you speak, burn off excess mental energy with exercise. In general, slow down and make sure you are channeling this energy productively. 2/27 to 3/2: Mercury in Aquarius conjunct Saturn in Aquarius, 29°. The 29th degree is the anaretic or karmic degree of any sign, and Saturn is the planet of karma. This one carries weight. Make sure you are responsible in word and deed now. What has transpired in your life in the house that Aquarius rules for you since March equinox 2020 when Saturn landed in Aquarius? It's time to mentally take stock. Where have you had to show up and be more responsible? Where has life felt like more of a burden, or harder, requiring more effort, or even restricted? Where have you felt like you just couldn't get a break, even though you kept showing up? Saturn officially leaves Aquarius and lands in Pisces for the next 2 1/2 years on March 7th, so this era is coming to an end, and soon. ***We'll be diving into more around this in this month's New Moon Live in The Art of Consciously Creating Life Facebook Group on Thurs. 2/16 - make sure you are a member to join us! 3/2: Mercury enters Pisces (in waning conjunction to Saturn but still within 1°). Mercury is moving away from Saturn but still within conjunction range as it moves into Pisces, mentally bridging for us Saturn in Aquarius from March 2020 until now, to Saturn in Pisces, which will last 2 1/2 years. Pay attention to the energy and what comes up (or in) for you today. Notice the difference. This is clueing you into what Saturn in Pisces is bringing!
