Progressed Merc in late degrees

[Kuntuzangmo]

Progressed Mercury will change sign in less than a year. Would this late degree situation bring some thwarted, muddy etc... communications for example? What other qualities might come in these last hours?
It has been in Cap and is moving into Aqua.
Thx.

My guess is that you won't experience anything until it changes sign. The idea that the last degree of a sign is more intense because of some last desperate effort by the sign or whatever doesn't work for me.

If you are experiencing anything around Mercury issues, check out its aspects to natal planets and important midpoints, and transits to progressed Mercury from Satun and the outer planets.

progressed planets/charts are more 'internal' changes, evolvements rather than 'events or external' matters. I don't read prog charts as stand alones it's more important to see where these planets are moving in the natal chart

Your natal chart is like a photograph as unique as your fingerprint, BUT the 10planets in the sky have not stayed where they were in your natal chart, they have all moved. Predictive astrology is mostly maths where those 10planets are now and the mathematical aspects they make to your natal charts ie: 180'=opposition, 90'=square, 60'=sextile and 120'=trine.

So your personality, grows, develops, changes, matures as we get older, this is reflected by your sun sign changing from it's natal position to the next sign along, so does your Asc and MC sign change. In fact from sun to mars especially are important, as the outer planets really don't move much, using a 'day for a year' secondary progressions.
