When large crowds gather, one voice can unite them all. When a new trend captures the popular imagination, there is one artist behind the vision that becomes shared by all. Mercury, the planet of communication, can influence how we say things on earth and how they are interpreted by others. When that group of others is a large group, though, the planet of communication is interacting with Aquarius, the zodiac sign that holds sway over the masses. When these two team up, the beauty of everyone working together under a common theme is likely, but so too is the shadow side of Aquarius: groupthink, a phenomenon when everyone acts under an assumption to which nobody feels responsible.
Mercury enters Aquarius on February 3 and is only there until February 21. Mercury is potent, though, when it is moving at a fast pace. There is one strong point of influence that this little planet will carry when it is in zodiac Aquarius during this time period: Mercury is much more influential in our daily activities when it is moving fast, and it is moving quite fast as it makes a fresh start in Aquarius. Mercury’s recent visit to Capricorn was a long haul. It entered Capricorn on November 30, 2010. It slowed down, turned retrograde and went back into Sagittarius. Then it slowed down again, moved forward and re-entered Capricorn in mid-January. What this means is that Mercury is looking for a fresh start and a new way of expression. Mercury’s visit to a fresh zodiac sign gives communication an intense emphasis during this forecast period. In other years, Mercury would be travelling from Sagittarius into Capricorn and then into Aquarius at the planet’s standard pace. Because it was in the sign of the Goat for so long, this year’s trip through the zodiac sign of the Water-bearer will make for a wild two and a half weeks ahead. All communication, even your private conversations and intimate whispers, all just seem to ripple into crowd control and group hugs. When it involves Mercury it involves the way we say it and the manner in which we hear it. When it involves Aquarius it has mass appeal behind it. “It” is your life and interactions between February 3 and February 21. Read below for the specifics involving your sign and the sign of the person with whom you will be doing most of the communicating.
