Mercury in Sagittarius Is Making You the Life of the Party

Good news: Mercury, planet of communication, finally enters Sagittarius on today, December 9! Mercury is the fastest-moving planet, and usually stays in one sign for about three weeks, but thanks to the hell of a retrograde last month, it’s been hanging around in Scorpio for a couple of months! Now that it’s finally moving into Sagittarius, expect a more optimistic mindset and adventurous attitude. And to feel way more extroverted!

The fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius will benefit from this transit the most, while the mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces may have trouble keeping up with the quicker change of pace.

Sag is one of the more over-the-top signs in the zodiac, but this more upbeat, energetic feeling is a much welcomed change after that murky, paranoid, emotional AF Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio you just survived. Scorpio is quiet, mysterious, and analytical. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, planet of abundance and generosity, so you’re feeling *extra* chatty and being, well, very generous with your thoughts—basically, you’re going from being very hush-hush about everything to a total loudmouth. Where Scorpio is secretive and sometimes deceptive, Sagittarius is open and honest. Scorpio is restrained and held back, and Sagittarius is loud and forthcoming. It goes without saying that this is bringing forth a massive change in your mindset!

Mercury is said to be in its “detriment” in Sagittarius, which means that it operates the weakest here. Mercury in fiery Sag makes you love to talk and talk and talk and share your opinion, but taking others’ advice or listening in general? Not so much. You might come off as chatty as a Real Housewife, or like you don’t have any social tact...like a Real Housewife. You’re oversharing and speaking over people, so you might come off as too forward or even blunt. Try to not step on anyone’s toes. Even if you’re speaking with the intention of sharing or helping, try to mind your manners and avoid giving unwarranted advice.

Overall, the astro-weather is really brightening up! It’s still Sagittarius season, and Mercury hanging out in Sag is making you feel even better. This transit is helping you to make new connections with all kinds of people, because Sagittarius vibes love anything/anyone new and are fascinated by anything “different” or foreign. P.S.: there’s some major astro-dramz coming in Capricorn season (and a big ol’ Solar Eclipse, too) so enjoy the vibes while you can! Mercury in Sagittarius is helping you feel brighter than you have in months, and you’re feeling ready to take on the world and live your best life!

Expressing your thoughts and speaking your mind has never been a problem for you, Sagittarius, but now you’re finally feeling heard by others. Just learn how to listen a little bit more, and this transit will be a total dream!

CAPRICORN

Breathe, Cap. Any time there’s a planet in Sagittarius, it activates your chart’s 12th house, aka the zone of isolation and self-undoing. You’re feeling more emotional, and getting a lot of alone time rn, so it’s not the most fun or easy transit, to say the least. Use this time alone to meditate, relax, and dream. You’re becoming more in-touch with your innermost self and even though the self-awareness might make you feel critical or down on yourself, use this time as an opportunity to find the source of your unhealthy habits and self-destructive behavior so you can work on resolving them. It’ll be okay, bb.

AQUARIUS

Basically, Mercury in Sagittarius is making you feel more popular than ever. This is the best transit for partying, hanging out with friends, and expanding your network. Mercury in Scorpio was hell for you, especially in regards to work, but now your job isn’t so demanding anymore. You worked hard, now it’s time to play hard!

PISCES

Mercury in Sagittarius is pulling your focus to your career and your reputation. Work’s more grueling right now, and you feel like everything you do is being stalked and stared at by your boss. That means if you flop on the job, you’re defs getting a callout, but if you perform well, now’s a great time to ask for a raise or a promotion!
