Mercury in Aquarius: Creative Expression

Get ready to lighten up! Communication planet Mercury leaves serious, goal-oriented Capricorn and enters Aquarius, the free-thinking radical. For most of the month, we've been planning, worrying and thinking about our long-term resolutions. Now it's time to think outside the box, break some of our own rules, and even rebel a little. No surprise if those New Year's resolutions start to fade within a month. If yours are all work and no fun, maybe it's time to edit them and add a little creative twist.

Aquarius is also the sign of groups, friends and humanitarian efforts. With conversational Mercury here, it's a great time for parties, getting in touch with contacts or spreading the word about a social cause you care about. Technology falls under Aquarius' realm, so make use of those social networks to organize people or just to ask for support!
