As you may know, Mercury is Retrograde from December 29 until January 18. Hence the necessity for extra caution with travel arrangements and potentially over-the-top confessional conversations over this phase.
But the benefits are untold! Because Mercury is in Capricorn so long, it will make three repeat alignments to the Moon’s Node and Uranus in Taurus. Both are beneficial, bringing opportunities, people and concepts from your future.
The trick is to not push them into premature fruition while Mercury is Retrograde because that’s the phase when you’re integrating and replacing residual thought patterns or outdated ideas. Whatever the desirable new paradigm, it will probably come together of its own volition after Mercury is Direct – when the alignment occurs for the third time in a row.
And if not, that’s still a good time to put some oomph into manifesting it.
So alignment one is the spark, alignment two is the integration/go-slow and alignment three is fulfillment.
Here are the dates in question:
Mercury trine North Node 1: December 14-15.
Mercury trine Uranus 1: December 17-19.
Mercury (now Retrograde) trine Uranus 2: January 8-10.
Mercury (now Retrograde) trine North Node 2: January 12 to 16.
Mercury (Direct again) trine North Node 3: January 20 to 24.
Mercury (Direct again) trine Uranus 3: January 29 – 31.
So December 14 to 19 is when something rad sparks.
It’s back and developing but in stealth mode or erratically from Jan 8 to 16 so observe but don’t push it.
Then January 20 to 31 is when you can expect rapid results or go for it with the assertion. Mars will be direct by then as well.
So do not fret if things feel slow or low between December 29 and mid-Jan – it’s just that both Mars and Mercury will be retrograde then.
It will work for secret projects and romances, deep revisionary thinking and power-rejuvenation.

Feeling this, and have lived through enough mercs that I’ve developed a taste for planning patience (yay, wisdom hard won). Some amazing shit ahead though. Recognition coming in hotttt
Have a peaceful break Mystic !
💖⭐✨😊
have a wonderful, restorative, beautiful break, Mystic. Thank you for guiding us through this very strange year. We’ll miss you!
Thank you so much Mystic for such an inspirational DM.
I’m in the midst of a fight with my boss and my notice of termination will end just as Mercury turns Direct. But also, I’m starting a legal fight on Monday with a lawyer’s support. The Retrograde dates and 3 Trines steps fit perfectly with the legal strategy, it’s uncanny.
I wish you wonderful holidays. thank you so much for all your hard work in 2022, it was of a tremendous help in order to navigate through these troubled times.
Best wishes for an amazing 2023 and the beginning of a new era.
Merci beaucoup 🖤🖤🖤
I have Mercury retrograde natally and in Gemini (4th house).
I suspect your warning about over-sharing also applies to this natal aspect but with the difference being that I should always be more careful of oversharing/confessional?
