Overview
The December 11th inconjunct between Mercury in Scorpio and Uranus Rx in Aries is a repeat of December 2nd, but this time Mercury is direct. Once again you’ll be dealing with a sharp exposure or unexpected realization plus the tension between words that are held back (Mercury in Scorpio) versus the push to wrench everything out into the open (Uranus).
This trigger will lead to Mercury’s ingress into Sagittarius on December 12th, which can feel like a burst of intellectual/verbal freedom after Mercury’s time in compressed, intense Scorpio. Mercury last visited Sag on October 31st (before it turned Rx) so this will be another activation of potentials from that date. Now, after the entire retrograde process of reviews, questions and delays, you can surge ahead with the knowledge and perspective you’ve gained.
