Mercury reaches the end of Sagittarius, a sign it first entered on October 29 and began a November retrograde. During its journey back and forth through the sign, we’ve needed to reexamine our convictions and beliefs. A square to Saturn now asks for commitment.
Mercury square Saturn is typically an aspect where we need to learn to have greater care and caution with how we speak, listen, and learn. On one hand, it can frustrate and sometimes make it hard to communicate. On the other, it can push an individual, through time and maturity, to be able to communicate with positive authority and to become a teacher-like mentor.
Mercury is also the planet of choice and its square to Saturn today may present us with an important choice. Use Saturn to lean into a greater sense of accountability and wisdom. Whatever choice we are making needs to support our long-term growth.
Just behind Mercury’s square to Saturn in Pisces is a square to Neptune in Pisces, a duo of planets that pull at existential questions and a need for choices that fulfill emotionally and spirituality.
Come Thursday, Mercury will arrive in Capricorn, joining the Sun, Venus, and Mars in a sign that will underline a need for greater maturity and accountability.
We’re just two days away from the New Year, a year that will cement the new beginnings that have begun to come into focus the last couple of years. Both Neptune and Uranus will be in new signs. Saturn, which always represents our long-term priorities, will arrive in Aries on February 13 — a powerful shift towards new beginnings that will mark our 2026.
