Short Article: Mercury Retrograde in *Capricorn* Redesign Your Blueprint for Success

[Arian Maverick]

Hello, everyone!

I'm usually a bit wary posting links on the forums with the strict moderatorship, but I found this article about the upcoming Mercury Retrograde period quite uplifting and wanted to share it. It's a bit abstract, written from a somewhat "spiritual" perspective, so it may not be everyone's cup up tea.

Here's the link: Mercury Retrograde in *Capricorn* Redesign Your Blueprint for Success

Now, I'm aware we can only quote 100 words, so I'll choose the excerpt wisely. This is exactly 77 words, if I've counted correctly.

This is a time to see where you may have given away your inner authority to others, with expectations that were ultimately not met. Set some goals to *achieve* something tangible with your ideas in 2010 and use all the Retrograde periods to review your thoughts, words and deeds for *effectiveness*. Release those thoughts and ideas which no longer serve you, use the Retrograde periods (all year) to bless with gratitude and *release* once and for all.

In addition to providing a place to discuss this article, I invite you to share your experiences with Mercury's transit into Capricorn, as well as the Mercury Retrograde and "shadow" periods. I'm particularly curious how we'll react to transiting Mercury conjunct Pluto in Capricorn...

I am curious too. This will be a mercury opposition for me too with natal mercury at 5 degrees Cancer.
I noted at the conjunction to Pluto in my 10th an increased agitation in general but too saturn squared the pair.

I'm curious, it will retrograde at 21 degrees, my Sun is 25 degrees Capricorn, I'm wondering if this will release a secret that I want to retain...

I'm also thinking of taking my ex employer to an employment tribunal (I believe they made a mistake in my contract therefore dismissed my unfairly within one year), I guess it may not be the best time during the Mercury retrograde, or will it?? Mercury in Capricorn seems an excellent placement for a business debate, albeit dispute, but retrograde, could that be good for going over old papers rooting out (their) mistakes?

I'm interested in this particular Mercury rx. It will station retro at 21 Capricorn at which time the Sun will be at the degree of the station direct, 5 Capricorn.

5 Capricorn is my south node, and the person I am currently courting has progressed Moon at 21 Capricorn and progressed Venus at 25 Capricorn. I would think something could be triggered however I have no idea what. Guess I'll find out soon enough.
