Read your horoscope for Mercury in Capricorn
Get practical in 3, 2, 1
From January 8th to January 27th, Mercury — the planet of communication — moves through Capricorn. When the trickster and chatterbox of the cosmos settles into this no-nonsense earth sign, clear and pragmatic thinking wins the day. Over the next few weeks, stretch your mind to take longer-term plans into account. Invite yourself to map out what you want the coming month, season, or year to hold.
Working hard ≠ burning out
Mercury delights in logic and systems, and Capricorn loves a good challenge. When their powers are combined, there’s no goal that can’t be achieved, no matter how long it takes. You can harness this industrious, go-getting attitude by breaking down your projects into bite-size, doable steps. Read: doable. In other words, don’t burn yourself out. Mercury in Capricorn is more interested in playing the long game than in shooting for overnight results, and it teaches us just how effective patience and dedication can be.
Reminder: Be kinder
That said, notice when your self-talk curdles into harsh critique. It can be a little too easy to judge yourself when Mercury in Capricorn is involved. But who says that the toughest feedback is the most motivating? You don’t have to bully yourself into success. During this transit, ditch the notion that strict discipline is the best way to get the outcomes you want. Instead, remind yourself as often as possible that it’s more than okay to be kind. Self-compassion won’t undermine your progress; offering yourself soft, supportive words of encouragement will elevate all your efforts.
Your horoscopes are meant to be read as inspiration. If you know both your rising sign and Sun sign, please read both horoscopes. You’ll know which one resonates for you. Take what works and leave the rest.
Aries & Aries rising
Ambition, meet organization. It’s time to tend to the details of your public-facing life. For the next few weeks, support is on your side for clarifying your goals — whether for your professional world, your school club, or your retirement plan.
Right now, you have focus and clarity to spare, so make the most of it. Color-code your inbox. Update your calendar. Identify the finish lines you want to move toward, and then draft a map to get there.
Dive into 2025 with gusto. You’ve got this.

Fine print? No sweat.
For the next few weeks, take a clear, focused inventory of your contracts, joint ventures, and shared resources, in whatever forms they take. The more willing you are to crunch the numbers of life with your co-conspirators, the more magic you’ll make out of this moment.
This would also be a fruitful time to reach out to the people you want to collaborate with or to make your case for a redistributed chore chart. The bottom line? Communicate. You’ll refresh all your co-creations when you do.

No one can read your mind — not even your best friend or beloved. The next few weeks remind you how much open communication can strengthen your connections. This period is a steadying anchor for your 1:1 relationships, so proactively share what’s on your heart, without waffling on your needs and desires.
Remember: Supportive, clarifying conversations are not just the stuff of dreams. When you express yourself, you invite more closeness into your bonds, and you deepen the trust that flows between everyone involved.

Leo & Leo rising
Your schedule just met its match: practical, no-nonsense orderliness.
Over the next few weeks, run through the ins and outs of your to-do lists, work routines, and wellness regimens with a fine-tooth comb. Don’t try to convince yourself that you have more time, energy, or bandwidth than you really do. If you tend to overwork or overextend your system in the name of productivity, let this be a clarifying period.
Prioritize, simplify, repeat. You’ll come out the other side feeling clearer-headed and more anchored.

Virgo & Virgo rising
Get to know your pleasure. Ask what it wants. Ask what it’s ashamed of. Thank it. Share what it’s taught you. If doing so feels weird, cringe away. The next few weeks are all about communicating what you desire when it comes to your flirtations, romantic entanglements, and creative pursuits.
This is practical and productive work; it affirms what makes this part of your life worth advocating for. So ask out a crush. Revamp your artist statement. Pitch your short story. Express yourself like you mean it.

Roll up those sleeves. The next few weeks bring you a healthy dose of productivity and focus on the home front. If you’ve been eager to start a DIY renovation project, attempt a family recipe, or organize a photo album, this period gets the ball rolling.
Remember: This isn’t a race, and finish lines are more abstract than you might imagine. Whether you’re moving house or repainting your hallway, prioritize clearheaded thinking and practical plans. You’ll make steady, satisfying progress when you do.

Scorpio & Scorpio rising
Get ready for some tidying up in your daily life.
For the next few weeks, you’ve got more oomph to clarify which parts of your days feel grounded and organized and which parts need some attention. No matter what, communicate, communicate, communicate. Don’t filter your ideas based on what you think will be well-received.
Your insight is sharp, so share what’s on your mind. You’ll forge stronger connections with the people in your everyday world — and you might just solve a puzzle or two while you’re at it.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius rising
Balance those books. Over the next few weeks, if you feel inspired to dig into the practical, less-than-glamorous ins and outs of your assets, follow through. You’ve got a knack for crunching numbers and remaining undaunted by long-term financial goals. So check in with yourself about what’s working for you and what needs a reboot.
If old scarcity stories come up, jot them down. When you express what’s on your mind, you make room for new, more abundant narratives to take root.

Capricorn & Capricorn rising
Share your desires. Communicate your needs. Express yourself. All easier said than done, but for the next few weeks, you’ve got extra support to help you follow through.
If you tend to be hard on yourself, practice being a little warier of the critical narratives that get stuck in your head. Test out new, more encouraging stories, even if they feel cheesy or silly.
Above all, if something’s on your mind or heart, let it out — yes, including your emotions. You’ll revitalize your connection with yourself. Go for it.

Aquarius & Aquarius rising
Check in with yourself.
For the next few weeks, take your rest, relaxation, and solitude extra seriously. Be proactive about carving out time to journal, unplug, or just enjoy your own company. No, this doesn’t mean you have to cut yourself off from the world. The smallest gestures will add up. Asking yourself how you’re doing is a great place to start.
When you give yourself pockets of downtime to sync up with your emotions, you offer yourself the support, groundedness, and attention you need. It’s worth it. Promise.

Pisces & Pisces rising
Mingle away. The next few weeks are lighting up your connections with your friends, crews, and collectives. So express what’s on your mind, reach out, and sync up with the networks that anchor your life.
If an old pal pops into your head, call them up. Write someone a handwritten letter. And share how you’re feeling. This might seem obvious, but when you really follow through, you invite others to do the same. That’s how life-changing bonds are forged.
