Mercury goes into Aquarius on the 28th January 2012 at 7.13 am (NZ Time), moving through this sign in 17 days. While Mercury is here it is a great time to broaden your mind, book yourself into a study course or take up a new interest / hobby. Mercury indicates for us all how we stimulate our mental processes, how we choose to gather and give information. It reveals the ease of our communication. In Aquarius Mercury’s energy flows effortlessly – we say it is in its strength; ideas bounce along quickly, our minds are sharp and inventive, we seek out exciting topics to learn. Being part of group gatherings, sharing ideas and inspiration is well suited at this time. If nothing in your neighbourhood sparks your interest then turn to books and online sources of information to satisfy your curiosity. Sitting back and not doing anything exciting will lead to overwhelming feelings of boredom, creating mental stress and tension. Give your mind a dose of freshness – seek out an exciting subject to learn.
