Mercury Is Entering Sagittarius—Here's What This Means for Your Zodiac Sign

From December 1st to December 20th, Mercury will be transiting impulsive and philosophical Sagittarius. Being that Mercury will be in impetuous Sagittarius during this time, it’s important for you to think before you speak. You can accidentally put your foot in your mouth and say inappropriate or hurtful words by accident.

Inquisitive Mercury and elusive Neptune square off on December 13th, which will make communication extra confusing and nonsensical. The truth may be hard to find, which will heighten your paranoia and anxiety.

Mercury will align with the South Node in Destiny until December 14th (when the exact transit occurs). This will bring karmic matters to light. The same day, Mars activates Mercury by bringing actions to our words. On December 19th, the sun and Mercury align in the sky, bringing much-needed clarity to all matters.

Below is your Mercury in Sagittarius horoscope. Make sure to read your rising sign, too.

Aries

If you've had a lot of spokes in the fire with others recently, it will also be a phase of cultivation. This can mean that you have to be a little more selfish in your decisions and plan ahead in order to attain your desires at the moment.

Taurus

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it won’t stand in the way of you investigating matters and searching for hidden truths within your friend group. You’ll spend the majority of your time getting to the bottom of all matters, which will strengthen your intuition in the process as well.

Gemini

A major crossroads is coming your way. This will bring you into a more aligned point of independence from others. It will be far easier to stand up for what you want and what you believe in versus what you actually need to feel most driven to sustaining your relationships and friendships.

Cancer

You’re offering a lot of advice to others, some of which is helpful and some of which isn’t. Understanding that you don’t have to offer help to everyone who asks and interfering in other people’s lives with your opinion will be hard, but you’ll be able to respect their boundaries.

Leo

Having fun is a top priority for you. Even if you have to bring the party to your home for a Zoom gala with friends, you are making sure that you are enjoying the seasonal festivities. You’ll even volunteer to organize your office’s holiday party to double up on fun.

Virgo

It’s never too late to shift your energy from work to personal matters. You may find that focusing on your family, friends, and S.O. or situationship is a top priority, as they feel like you’re not giving them attention. Words of advice: Make sure to prioritize your needs as well.

Libra

For the first time in a while, you are letting your truest feelings be known. You’re letting it all out—all the good, the bad, and the ugly sentiments that you’ve hidden from others. This may create conflict with your squad, but you’ll be ready to defend your emotions.

Scorpio

It’s time to get your finances in order. All of the holiday shopping you’ve done during Black Friday is putting a dent in your bank account. Budgeting your money for the next few weeks will help you get all of your assets and investments under control before the New Year.

Sagittarius

You may feel as though no one is hearing the words you are saying clearly, which is causing your frustrations to heighten. Before arguing with others, take a step back and think about how you want to express yourself. You will find the right way of communicating your feelings shortly.

Capricorn

Known for your direct nature, it will be hard for you to express yourself clearly over the next few weeks. Let your intuition guide you towards sussing out situations and making decisions now. You will find that it’s easier than finding the right words to assert yourself in the moment.

Aquarius

It’s time to bust out all of your old contacts and use them to your advantage. Networking with acquaintances and former coworkers online will help you plan out the next steps and direction of your career path. They may also know of an awesome opportunity that you are perfect for.

Pisces

Negotiating the terms of your contract or raise with your boss will be easier than you thought, as you are seeing that your words hold power and get respect from those who are in authority over you. You will be able to get what you want and more from work.
