After weeks of negotiating mounting costs, unforeseen expenses, and last-minute bailouts for loved ones in need, it will be nice to see Mercury enter the sober sign of Capricorn on January 8th. This gives you the solid foothold you've been searching for, along with the chance to take stock of where things stand now. It won't be easy treating the sums you laid out as “water under the bridge,” but you need to if you want to move forward. Upcoming Mercury aspects to Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune promise to replenish your reserves as long as you keep your eyes on the prize.
