It\u2019s the time-honored traditions that humans instinctively reflect on during this phase. There\u2019s also a strong impetus to <b>get back to the business of doing business<\/b>. After all, Capricorn is a cardinal or self-activated sign. It represents Business&mdash;and there\u2019s very little chance of resting on one\u2019s laurels after the holidays are over.<\/p>\n<p>Minds are busy, but there\u2019s a strategic bent; no rushing perilously into ventures without having done one\u2019s research. <b>Mercury in Capricorn has a plan<\/b>, and has vetted the appropriate players and people. There\u2019s a respect for the process as much as the outcome. This is one of Capricorn\u2019s secrets of success&mdash;and Mercury helps pull all the threads together into a successful venture.<\/p>\n<p>Mercury in Capricorn is compelled to speak. Coming from an empowered voice of self-authority, it doesn\u2019t wait for the green light from someone else. This energy combo bestows great comfort with leadership. Mercury in Capricorn is also gifted at<br\n\/> generating entrepreneurial ideas&mdash;and is generous enough to pass some of those gems on to people who trust the elder wisdom of Capricorn. In fact, if Mercury in Capricorn sees a financial opportunity, <b>you may just end up with a backer for your new business<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s got to be a practical venture with a sound fiscal plan, mind you. No hair-brained schemes for Mercury in pragmatic Capricorn. We\u2019re talking about an earth sign, after all. With this in mind, gathering data through the physical senses is part of Mercury\u2019s process in Capricorn. Relying on wisdom attained through experience is also part of its navigation system.<\/p>\n<p><div\nstyle=\"float:left;margin-right:10px\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-1123809225180052\";\n\/* rectangle in post *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"6756871618\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;<\/script> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Interestingly enough, for all of the energy that Mercury in Capricorn devotes to climbing the ladder of success and inevitably grabbing the brass ring, there\u2019s nothing boastful about it. There\u2019s simply a quiet satisfaction that comes from knowing that <b>hard work is the foundation of Capricorn\u2019s success<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>If this all sounds a little dry, there is nothing dry or unromantic about the way that Mercury operates in in Capricorn. There\u2019s an earthy sensuality here that Mercury deftly taps into&mdash;and it\u2019s highly alluring. Setting the stage helps, though. Capricorn is rooted in classic elegance&mdash;nothing flashy. High thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets atop a bamboo bed, for instance, reveal an understated and practical design palette.<\/p>\n<p>And, make no mistake, Mercury in Capricorn may not be boastful&mdash;but neither is it shy about stating its intentions. Fortunately, those intentions are usually honorable. Capricorn values a traditional approach. And if Mercury in Capricorn thrives on elegant surroundings, its speech reflects that as well. No f-bombs, please and thank you. As Mercury scales the Capricorn goat\u2019s mountain, it\u2019s got a healthy respect for &#8230; well, respect. Use culturally-sanctioned language if you\u2019ve got your sights set on a Capricorn individual and you\u2019re at least assured a foot in the door.<\/p>\n<p>Still and all, <b>nothing is sexier than the smell of success<\/b>. Mercury in Capricorn is highly attuned to it, and turned on by it. Make something of yourself, and you\u2019re bound to attract the loyalty, respect, and even love from one of these old souls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to get back to the business of doing business.
