You may have noticed that coherency has been problematic as of late. That would correspond to an unusual situation. In the two weeks since the Capricorn solstice, Mercury and Sun have been in different signs. That is a long time for Mercury’s archetype of mind and its expression to be on a different page from the solar representation of consciousness and self-awareness. By this time next week the situation will have stabilized quite a bit, but first things will probably go through one last disconcerting episode. That episode would correlate with two aspects Mercury will make on Saturday, just before leaving Sagittarius.<\/p>\n
On its last day in Sagittarius, Mercury will form sextile aspects to both Saturn in late Libra and Neptune, which will be in the last degree of Aquarius. Sextiles are generally considered to be affirming, supportive and validating relationships between objects and signs. Concurrently drawing to an odd couple like Saturn and Neptune, however, can only contribute to incoherency. We are reminded of Robert Hand’s observation that “Neptune dissolves whatever Saturn builds.” While a sextile from Mercury to Saturn favors the critical faculties of the mind, the same aspect to Neptune just hours later would seem to set us up for some sort of mental whiplash, pulling our thoughts the other way. The situation is not lost, however. There is some consolation in a dichotomy taking place on the threshold of Capricorn.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Capricorn is where the fiery ideals of mutable Sagittarius find grounding and manifestation. Once Mercury crosses the boundary into cardinal earth, it will be a fresh start, a new season for the mind. That new season offers an opportunity to consolidate and reconcile the contradictory as Mercury, symbolizing how we think, and Sun, representing self-awareness, are finally reunited in the same cloth. The serendipity of Mercury’s earth trine to Jupiter in Taurus reinforces a return to congruity, and reinforcement will come in handy when Mercury encounters the aspect of our epoch.<\/p>\n
To enter Capricorn is to become part of what Eric referred to as “The defining aspect of our era in history.” That aspect, is, of course the preternaturally continuous cardinal point square between Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries. For Mercury to enter Capricorn just as 2012 begins is a form of conscious initiation into that era for all of us. This is what two arduous months of Mercury traipsing back and forth across Sagittarius has prepared us for. This is the destination before the journey. It is almost as if each one of us is Mercury, relaying a message to the center on the edge.<\/p>\n
The message we carry is that of personal experience. Everybody reading these words has borne witness to the days, weeks, months and years that have brought us to this passage. On this approach our task is to carry both sides of perception, from Saturn to Neptune, intact and integrated by Jupiter’s wide embrace. If we can each use the coming days to consciously encounter and begin healing the schisms within, then we will be prepared for the next leg of the journey carrying the message of collective unity without.<\/p>\n

It will be a busy weekend for Mercury, and by implication for your mind. Just after 1:30 am EST on Sunday morning, Mercury will enter Capricorn for 20 days after having been in Sagittarius for over two months.
