Mercury is in Capricorn and will retrograde on Dec 13th.
It will re-enter Sagittarius on Dec 23rd, finally turning direct on Jan 1, 2024.
What a way to start the new year :)
It will remain in Capricorn through Feb 5, 2024.
Key transit to set up 2024
Even though Mercury Rx happens at least 3 times a year, this one is unique because it straddles 2 signs, Capricorn and Sagittarius.
This gives an opportunity to develop awareness about your voice, inner & outer as well as beliefs that lie underneath how you communicate.
Mercury represents your perception, cognition and expression.
And of all Mercury Rx transits, this one can really cut to the chase and give you clarity on
- Where you are not coming from a place of true inner authority
- Where is there illusion playing out
- What rules you are following that are just not true anymore, or do not apply to your your life and career and relationships
Activating your Voice of Personal Authority
Last week I held a masterclass on awakening your authentic voice & cultivating a voice of personal authority.
I spoke about how this voice is really the voice of integrity within you, aligned with your highest purpose in this life.
Not just your intuition and what is right for you, but the presence within that gives you 'agency' to act on that guidance.
After all, what is the point of receiving insights and not doing anything about it?
In other words, it often requires courage to follow inner guidance and this voice gives you that courage.
I spoke of how 3 kinds of blocks can undermine personal authority.

With Mercury Rx in Capricorn/Sagittarius, its a great time to commit to cultivating this voice.
When your Voice of Personal Authority is alive & well
- You are completely in alignment with your truth
- You set your own rules and you follow them
- You are able to communicate this with confidence
Be aware of shadow mercury in Capricorn/Sagittarius, which shows up as:
- Following rules just because its been the way so far
- Not being aware of your own truth but fanning what is not in alignment
Check out the recording for the 3 blocks that undermine our personal authority and the gifts revealed when you clear them.
I give several examples in my journey from engineer to coach, where this voice was key in creating a new aligned career path for myself.
