It’s time to hit the adrenaline button! Mercury—as the planet of the mind and communication—dazzles when he soars through Sagittarius. Our minds will expand, as we hunger for wisdom, experiences and adventures that can push us to explore more about people and the world. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, we can process information and data on a grand scale, rather than just focusing on the nitty gritty details.
This transit will bring a faster pace to life, as well as plenty of opportunities for fun, games, adventure and exploration. You’ll be craving new horizons and opportunities at every turn as your mind becomes curious and fascinated about people and the world.
When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our thinking shifts from a need to plumb the depths of any given situation (Scorpio) to the desire to learn about a wide range of topics.
Mercury in Sagittarius gives a just, honest, generous and sincere mind, suitable for expansion through higher education. We seek ideals, our thinking is more optimistic, and our faith increases. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade. What is fair and unfair concerns us most now. However, we are not always very precise under this influence.
We’re more inclined to ask questions and seek answers during this forward-looking cycle. We might often wax philosophical, and we enjoy wrapping our minds around new concepts and ideas. Still, the details are not as interesting to us now, as we prefer to envision the big picture.
On the downside, we can be inconsistent and lack attention to details. While frank and open, we can also be tactless during this period. We’re generous with our communications and input, and we’re humorous and friendly at this time.
We can feel more active mentally, but somewhat changeable - studying more than one subject at a time and quickly passing from subject to subject. If we have been putting off learning a topic for a while now is the time to do it as you can absorb a lot of information quickly and easily. We may be more direct in speech and say exactly what you think. The issue is it may come across as dogmatic preaching rather than listening and considering other people's points of view. We are definitely more equipped to believe and to persuade.
Sagittarian thinkers want to pull ideas in from many fields and angles. That's why they're less likely to be single-focus specialists. They make leaps of logic, based on what they know, and this makes them pioneers of perception.
It is crucial during this period for us to shoot the arrows of our intentions straight and true, aiming as high as we can. Avoiding confusion and the influence of others is key if we want our intentions to flower to their fullest potential.
