Mercury in Sagittarius by Kelli Fox, the Astrologer

Mercury in Sagittarius: December 1st – 20th

New Ideas and Perspectives

While Mercury transits Sagittarius, you might broaden your worldview and explore a variety of subjects. There’s an urge to expose yourself to new ideas and perspectives, especially of a philosophical nature. You ask yourself life’s big questions, wondering, What does it all mean?

Optimistic Thinking

Nitpicky details, facts and figures are less interesting now, and you make decisions based on intuition rather than logic or analysis. This is an excellent time to focus on your ideal vision for the future, though not so favorable for figuring out the steps to get there. Planning and practicality can come later. Optimistic thinking and faith in positive outcomes characterize this transit.

Storytelling and Foot in Mouth Syndrome

You can be a highly entertaining storyteller now, and you may have a tendency to tell tall tales. You make broad, generalized statements that you might not be able to back up with hard evidence. As long as you’re not arrogant and think that your “truth” is the only one, people will forgive you because you tend to come from generosity and idealism.

Different Cultures

In your longing to stretch beyond the mundane world, travel will appeal to you, especially abroad. You might feel compelled to brush up on foreign language skills or learn about different cultures.
