Writer Ayn Rand has Mercury in Capricorn. <\/span>Her novel ‘Atlas Shrugged’ according to a book club survey is the ‘second most influential book for Americans today after the Bible’. <\/i>With its theme of government control bad versus individual freedom good, this novel exerts a <\/span>great influence over contemporary American conservatives and libertarians<\/span>.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

On the 31st December, 2012 <\/span>Mercury moved country from the vast open \u2018everything is possible\u2019 expanse of fiery, mutable Sagittarius and now is carefully renegotiating it path uphill through the mountain ranges and foothills of Capricorn. We are in in the craggy terrain of the mountain goat with a load to bear and quite a lot of weight on our shoulders.<\/span><\/div>\n

Whenever Mercury changes sign, we need to learn a whole new language and adapt to completely different customs to the ones we have become used and familiar. Mercury affects the way we process and deal with information so how we talk, think, chat, how we use twitter, or blog, text, write, read, listen and learn. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Physicist Stephen Hawking has Mercury in Capricorn<\/span>‘If the human race manages to redesign itself, to reduce or eliminate the risk of self-destruction, we will probably reach out to the stars and colonize other planets..’<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Capricorn is highly strategic, ambitious and grittily realistic and likes to deal in facts. Capricorn veritably sighs with deep acceptance and responsibility of ancient knowledge, it just knows that it was born for shouldering the burden, it simply is what it has to do, and do it does! When Mercury passes through such a worldly wise sign as Capricorn, it takes the opportunity to pick up a package of knowledge to help steer a path through to its ultimate goal. Whether that goal is Nirvana, a full blown empire, full health, a happy family or an running an entire nation. Listening to Capricorn’s wisdom and following it will certainly go a long way to pushing on through to the end. <\/span>\u2018Endings\u2019 of course contain Capricorn symbolism. Ruled by Saturn the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn is strangely comfortable with the whole concept of age, finality and mortality. <\/span>
