Sun Conjunct Retrograde Mercury...

starts on January 4, is exact on January 5 at 6.06am in Kilmore, leaves on January 5.  Sun and Mercury at 14 degrees and 19 minutes of Capricorn.

Mercury currently retrograde means that communication is likely to be garbled, confused or misleading... a bit like trying to listen to someone speaking to you underwater or in a very noisy situation.

The Sun acts as a highlighter, accented whatever it touches in they sky, and the connection with Mercury right now accents whatever, or whoever, is causing instability or confusion in your life.  The current serious of eclipses in the same sign as this conjunction further energies this trend.

I get the feeling that all this energy in the go-getting sign of Capricorn, that likes structure and for things to be 'right' can give us all the feeling that something is 'right', when it isn't.  So it is doubly important to hold off making important decisions or signing paperwork until later this month.

As usual, look to see where this conjunction is happening and which houses are ruled by the Sun (Leo on/in cusp), and Mercury (Gemini/Virgo).

If you have personal planets and/or points in Capricorn you are likely to feel this transit strongly.
