Mercury direct trine Uranus retrograde: 12/17/2022

Mercury retrograde trine Uranus retrograde: 1/8/2023

Mercury direct trine Uranus direct: 1/29/2023

These dates and the ~three days leading up to them speak to periods of time where we may find innovative or unexpected solutions to challenges or disruptions. We may be rewarded for stepping out of our comfort zone.

Reflect on the last few days (about 12/14 through 12/17):

• Did you encounter problems, oopsies, errors, or disruptions?

• Did you have to do things differently than expected?

• Did you learn anything new?

This is what we can expect for the next two trines, on the days leading up to the 8th and 29th of January.

The Astrology

Mercury, lord of speaking, listening, travel, buying & selling, learning, organizing, thinking & reasoning, is going to be slowing down, stopping, and reversing direction in December & January. This means they will encounter Uranus three different times.

Uranus, symbolizes sudden changes, disruptions in normal operations, breakthroughs, interruptions, novel or exciting ideas and experiences, and the unexpected.

Trines are supportive, oriented toward growth, and allow energies to be easily shared between the two planets involved.

Earth signs, like Taurus and Capricorn deal primarily with the material world and how we navigate it. This includes our resources, money, valuables and values, preferences, and creations. As well as what influences our relationship with those things.

Look to the houses that hold Taurus and Capricorn in your chart. What are the topics that describe those houses? This will give you personal clues on where you'll most likely notice these themes.

Navigation

On the the days leading up to, and the day of these configurations:

• Be flexible

• Be open to, and don't resist sudden changes being presented

• Try the new thing, even if it's outside your comfort zone

• Consider solutions you usually wouldn't

• Write down any good ideas you have

Disruptions, solutions, and breakthroughs may relate to:

• what we are creating and who we are creating it with, and finding a better way forward

• having to pick a different restaurant due to changed hours and finding a better one you didn't know about

• encountering errors or miscommunications regarding a project, resulting in an improvement

Good luck, embrace new directions and second chances!
