At the start of the new year, you might be looking for easy ways to change your life up a bit. Even if you’re not a huge fan of resolutions or similar approaches to goal setting, you still might be on the lookout for ways to switch things up. One area that many people really struggle with is organization. Or, when you apply to this idea of organization to someone’s whole life, they might refer to it like this: “I need to pull myself together.” Luckily, the cosmos can give you a little help with this. On January 12, Mercury moves into the sign of Capricorn. This can really give you the motivation to “pull yourself together.” It can cause some complications, too, but nothing major to worry about. Here’s what you can expect.
- You’ll find a new appreciation for structure.
Capricorn is all about organization and structure! They love it like no other sign. So it’s only natural that when Mercury is in Capricorn, you’ll feel more motivated than ever to get your whole life organized! This is great for anyone, regardless of whether you have a resolution to do so or not. If you get your life organized now, your whole year will go by a lot more smoothly.
- You’ll be slow to make decisions.
People who have Mercury in Capricorn in their birth charts are often slow decision makers. They need to carefully contemplate every choice they make. They don’t want to rush to make a decision because they fear this will result in unknowingly making the wrong choice. So they have to consider every little pro and con. If you catch yourself doing this, try to make the most of it-don’t stall on making decisions, but do take the time to understand the potential results of each option.
- You might appear more authoritative than usual.
Unfortunately, it’s true-some people might view you as more bossy at a time like this. Yes, you’ll have that newfound appreciation for structure. But remember, you can’t control other people. Having the sense that you’re in control is great, but that control only applies to you and your own personal decisions-not other peoples’ lives and choices. Everyone wants something different for themselves, and many people will not want the same things as you do, so be very conscious of this while Mercury is in Capricorn. Many people will forget and act too controlling.
- You’ll prefer a “no frills” approach to…well, pretty much everything.
No time for small talk or silly social conventions right now-it’s all about getting to the point and getting things done! Remember that these practices may seem inconsequential, but they do exist for a reason, so some social codes still shouldn’t be broken for the sake of efficiency right now. But taking a “no BS” approach to conversations, especially difficult ones, can definitely be very beneficial. Hopefully you’ll be able to cut through some awkwardness and figure things out by being blunt and honest when necessary.
