Ruling Planet Mercury enters Capricorn on January 8th. Usually, this marks the time of year when you clean out your closet and reorganize your sock drawer, but there are wilder energies to manage as the stars put you through your paces over the next few weeks. Since you can’t anticipate what will happen, it’s best to take things as they come. This may confound your analytical mind, but it will excite and enliven your spontaneous side. It’s been a while since you had to think on your feet, and you’ll soon discover you’re not as out of practice as you feared.
