Mercury enters Sagittarius

Mercury shifts from deeper thinking Scorpio into more adventurous, optimistic Sagittarius today, November 5th, 2017! This is an energy we definitely need, as things have been getting way too serious for a while now with the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter also in Scorpio. We need to lighten up folks, and this energy certainly can help that along.

Mercury will be in Sagittarius much longer than it’s usual 3-week stay, so until January 11th. Why is this? Because it’s that time again, oh yea, *heavy sigh*, when Mercury goes into its Retrograde cycle in December! (the pre-shadow period starts in a few weeks, and personally, I feel some of us are already feeling it!)

With Mercury shifting from deeper thinking Scorpio into more hopeful Sagittarius, our thinking also shifts from a deep psychological place and into a more lit up hopeful place. There’s a stronger desire to learn about a wide range of topics, so even though we don’t go as deep, we learn what we need to know right now or in the moment. Our thinking is more hopeful, optimistic, and our faith can increase during this time, as we seek our higher ideals. This influence also can help restore our belief system and can bring hope in our everyday thoughts and lives.

Balance and fairness also become quite important during this time, but we are not so good at paying attention to the details and certain things may be overlooked, and it doesn’t help that we can be in a big hurry under this influence! So pay attention to avoid mistakes or issues. We feel brave and courageous, so it’s easier to assert our independence, and question why we are depending on anyone but ourselves. Don’t go overboard during this time just to go’ it alone, or just because you have such a strong need to break free from certain situations or people! Remember, we need other people if we like it or not.

This is a time when we are expanding our mental horizons. There will be a whole new set of interests that might become of special importance to you, topics like religion, spiritual beliefs, philosophy, law, and education just to name a few. There’s a strong pull to meet up with folks from faraway lands, and our curiosity is so strong we can end up traveling. But often the trips we end up taking are the far away adventures in our minds. We want to get out and experience life, learn and grow during this time, so enjoy all of this magical fresh energy with Mercury in Sagittarius has to offer.

But we also should prepare for Mercury’s Retrograde cycle coming in December, so stay up to date by reading my Daily Astro Blogs. I will have more on the upcoming Mercury in Retrograde cycle soon.
