Mercury goes direct December 30

You will be happy when Mercury goes direct, so communications can be clear and you can sign papers, especially regarding retirement. You may finally receive communication from a company you applied to for a job. Electronic glitches to your printer, e-mail or other electronic devices will clear up. If you have Christmas gift cards and want to purchase something electronic, it is wise to wait until December 31 to do.

Mercury goes direct, or forward, December 30 at 19 degrees in the sign of Sagittarius. Then it will travel through the remaining degrees of the sign of Sagittarius and into Capricorn again, repeating communication events. Mercury was at 19 degrees of Sagittarius November 24, the day before Thanksgiving. Whatever happened that day has the opportunity to repeat December 30. Personally, if you have a planet, your ascendant or midheaven at 19 degrees of any sign except Scorpio or Capricorn, you can expect a repeat of the day before Thanksgiving on December 30.

Mercury went retrograde at 5 Capricorn 55 or 6 degrees Capricorn on December 10. Mercury will repeat that degree late the evening of January 17 and early morning January 18. Mercury will be in a closer conjunction with Pluto December 30 than it was on December 10. Expect tense, focused and determined communication or news about corporations, maybe a restructuring of same. Personally, if you have a planet, your ascendant or midheaven at 5 or 6 degrees of any sign except Sagittarius or Aquarius, you can expect a repeat of what will have happened on December 30 to repeat January 17 or 18, 2011.

Sidebar: Mars is in the sign of Capricorn, indicating a period of activity regarding corporations or formal entities through January 16, 2011. Then it goes into the sign of Aquarius, the coldest sign of winter. We can then expect colder weather through February 22, 2011.
