Mercury in Capricorn

Children with Mercury in Taurus seem older than their years. They are serious and cautious, often passive. Due to their practicality and prudence, they appear to be slow-witted. They are reluctant to change their views and have difficulty accepting new ideas, but they will not give up. They perceive everything related to the material world much easier than abstract things. An overly serious attitude to life leads to an increased sense of responsibility: they may sacrifice themselves for duty, work, or other obligations. They often appear gloomy, do not like to participate in noisy celebrations and entertainment. Let them understand that the "Fantasy" mixture and "Carelessness" pills are sometimes a better preventive measure for health. Try to improve their sense of humor. They need to smile and laugh as much as possible. They often have a bad mood, which naturally makes communication with them not very pleasant. Help the child overcome their somewhat gloomy and gloomy character, otherwise it will affect their physical and mental health. Such children are too attached to the material world, the world of material things. Help them establish a balance between "earth" and "heaven", between physical reality and elevated ideas. This balance is very important, otherwise they may develop a syndrome of dissatisfaction. And this means that, wanting to enjoy this life, they will strive to possess material things, accumulate more and more wealth. And there will be no end to it. The only remedy for this disease is to teach children to appreciate their own abilities and to be proud of them. Children with Mercury in Taurus have excellent organizational skills that they instinctively apply everywhere. Any disorder, whether in things or in thoughts, bothers them - they are such fusspots! In communication, they are diplomatic, show tact, and always carefully choose their words to express their ideas. They have a remarkable ability to concentrate their attention and think disciplinarily. Such children will be good leaders. They are demanding of themselves and others. You need to teach the child to be less serious, to take life easier, and to be more tolerant of those around them. But you can rely on them. Give them a chance to express their organizational skills - the child will be happy, and you will be satisfied with the result. Children with Mercury in Taurus like to learn and spend time usefully. When you offer a child something new, try to emphasize the purely practical benefit and usefulness of your proposal first. Excessive information or abstract ideas are of no value to them. Such children, considering their inclination to business and organizational activity, will find it interesting and useful to read books about successful businessmen, people who have made a remarkable career, and great people. In this literature, they will be able to find a worthy example to follow. With such a serious approach to life, it is natural that children may become dull and pedantic. Teach them to enjoy life and be happy. Such a child can be entrusted with an important task. And this is very useful for them - they will receive satisfaction from the sense of responsibility. If your child was born when Mercury was in Taurus, you will not have to constantly monitor order, as they have naturally developed self-discipline skills. On the other hand, some strictness is still necessary, otherwise the child will stop respecting you. But bending over backwards is also dangerous: children with this placement of Mercury are already too sensitive to their mistakes and failures, prone to judging themselves mercilessly. These children are strict with themselves and those around them. Teach the child (and the sooner you do it, the better) to be fair. Do not forget to praise the child and do not be stingy with sincere compliments. This will help the child to better relate to themselves and others. They can see the weaknesses in new and, seemingly, wonderful ideas and can explain why a particular proposal cannot be applied in practice. Their words are worth listening to. Try to raise the child so that they see not only the negative but also the positive aspects of ideas and events. And also explain to them how often jokes are necessary. Any idea presented with humor is much easier to accept from those around them. And most importantly, do not forget to always treat your child with respect, which they undoubtedly deserve.

This is one of the best positions of Mercury. Here it is a guest of Saturn in an earth sign. You definitely possess a very high ability for mental concentration. Your thinking is probably very clear, logical, programmed, with well-expressed mathematical abilities. This is often found in very good programmers. Apparently, you are very provident, to the point of a mania for planning. You always have a goal, you know what you need to think up, develop, there is no aimless thinking, you are almost always directed towards some point. You think through well what is necessary to achieve your goal, you have a clear idea of the direction you are moving in and what you would like to get as a result. Moreover, you likely have a very practical and rational mind, when solving a problem, you review all options and choose those that will allow you to achieve your goal under any circumstances. This quality has a downside - you select all information based on the task at hand, that is, if it is related to achieving the goal, it is taken into account and put in its place in your system, but if not, it is discarded. Therefore, you possess an excellent mind, and a deep one, but not very broad. Often you may not notice changes in the situation or miss other options that are outside of your goal. In communication, Mercury in Capricorn manifests in a less favorable way. Your communication will likely have a certain goal, each of your words must be meaningful. You attach great importance to words not because the topic of conversation is significant, but to accurately convey the meaning of what is said. Therefore, you do not like aimless or meaningless communication and can get angry with those who throw words to the wind, sometimes because of this you experience some difficulty in communication. But if you get started, you can start joking subtly and maliciously, you understand refined and sophisticated humor well, but do not always accept crude humor. Apparently, you know how to suppress your feelings with your intellect when necessary. The "bad" Mercury in Capricorn can give rise to callousness, lack of generosity, and a focus of thinking on set goals. In the worst case, you can become too practical. In general, with this position of Mercury, you are likely to be restrained, laconic, and secretive. You can hide your plans and your words do not reflect your inner state as much as they represent a thought-out line of behavior. You usually think through your speech and its goals.

Ambitious thoughts, insight, orderly thinking, the desire to secure a place of honor through material achievements. Positive concentration ability as well as organizational talent. They pursue a goal for a long time before achieving it. Well delivered speech. Writer's talent. Conservative, interested in ideas that have practical meaning. Greedy and somewhat harsh. They learn from their mistakes, are always active, always on guard, and are not easily overwhelmed. Always dissatisfied with something. Hardworking, careful, sober thinking. You think clearly, objectively, realistically, and don't fall for exaggerated salesman promises. In response, you will require confirmation with facts. Your natural skepticism often borders on cynicism. By approaching business with clear and rational criteria, you maintain self-confidence and efficiency even under fire from criticism. Anyone seeking your advice can be sure that they will receive a rational assessment of the situation in which they find themselves, without any emotions or any subjectivity. Therefore, you make a businesslike chairman of the arbitration court, an experienced judge. You have a disciplined brain, the ability for private entrepreneurship, for administrative and organizational work. You also know how to think big, strategically, outline realistic plans and patiently, step by step, move in your chosen direction. You are a serious and diligent person. When you are thinking about something or reading something, you like silence and solitude.

Mercury puts at Capricorn's disposal an apparatus of symbolic systems (primarily speech), which are felt by the Mercury Capricorn as completely material and as a powerful means for accomplishing his tasks. If done poorly, this gives a tendency to lead with the help of empty demagoguery, absurd circulars, unfulfilled orders, etc., and Capricorn sincerely believes in their power. As Mercury develops, a person gradually begins to feel the true power of words (and silence) and their capabilities when interacting with the subtle world. Here evolution proceeds in the following order: first, a person learns to distinguish words that have a real impact on the world from the rest. Then he begins to understand the true origin of these words and the reasons for the power of their impact, i.e. connects symbols with the egregor and finally, already at a high level of development, Mercury gains the opportunity to develop new symbolic systems and work with their help directly in the egregor - this is the level of creation of sacred texts. At the everyday level, Mercury gives Capricorn greater ease in mental and business contacts, practical ingenuity, resourcefulness and cheating; it is difficult to fool him (except for a strong defeat, but even then there remains the possibility of a short career as a swindler director).

As your child thinks, learns, and communicates Your child is likely to be disciplined and focused. Such children are said to possess a "healthy human understanding." This child will be certain of being right before expressing or writing anything. He will not rush to speak, but if he does, he will always be serious, polite, courteous, and carefully choose his words. However, he may have a unique sense of humor that will surprise you from time to time. Do not expect your child to be interested in any subject if he does not see its practical application in the "real world" he lives in or plans to live in. In this case, he may study the subject, but only to get a good grade. This child will learn best in an organized and structured environment. Having a task, he will perform it very carefully and focused. The more he knows, the stronger his confidence will be. He may have quirky dreams, but he will find a way to apply them usefully.

In his work, this person is objective and fundamental, methodical and systematic. However, imagination is scarce, fantasy is even less, and a sense of humor is usually completely absent.
