Mercury in Aquarius: Time to Change Radically |

On Thursday, January 16th, at 3:31 pm, the period of Mercury in Aquariusmental and fixed sign, for a stay that will last until February 3rd at 8:37 am.

This is one of the best signs for the planet of information and communication to express itself. By attributing the very Aquarian characteristics of detachment, uniqueness and freedom to Mercury, we are more open to clear, innovative and futuristic ideas. In Aquarius, the motto is “each one who takes care of his own life”.

Forget what a day was like – this is the time to try out new concepts or have that conversation where you need to be calm, centered and alert. This Mercury in Aquarius combination is nonjudgmental.

Therefore, it is worth considering almost everything. If you are lost between what to do and what not to do, this transit is sure to give you a direction – which is not to dwell on the past.

With Mercury in Aquarius our thoughts and words also move very quickly. We learn quickly, through flashes of insight, and have no patience for slow or narrow-minded people. Despite this, we become more stubborn: remember that Aquarius is a fixed sign?

So changing your mind now is very difficult. As difficult as giving up one’s own codes of ethics and values. But we are totally open to any news or information that questions the traditional.

Also, once it enters Aquarius, Mercury will square the planet that rules this sign, Uranus, on January 18th. Here, we’ll need to tighten our seat belts and wait for the unexpected. The Sun is also about to enter Aquarius, and will also square Uranus shortly afterwards.

That is, there is a confluence of factors that speaks of a moment of radical energy change (from Capricorn stability to Aquarian innovation). The same, the old and familiar bores us and does not interest us. We need challenges and new horizons.

For many, it will be time to change, radically, without thinking twice, leaving the past behind. We will be more erratic and more unpredictable. We will follow a very specific logic, of those who listen (and follow) the sound of their own drums.

But here we are still not talking about a finalized process of change. We are talking about a change, the beginning of finalization, an increase of will, desire and need. As I have been saying, the changes will consolidate throughout the year, in a profound and irreversible way, with the presence of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.

But the entry of so many personal planets into this social sign (Aquarius) does imply that we are experiencing a change of direction, which will be observed both in our personal and collective lives.
