Mercury conjunct the Lunation in Capricorn Passing Behind The Sun Through Most of January January 5, 2017

What's happening?

Just a quick note here to say Mercury ... retrograding until very early Sunday morning ... has dipped briefly back into last degree of Sagittarius where he will pause for a few days to catch his breath before beginning anew his eternal game of tag with The Sun. Practically speaking, that won't make a dime's worth of difference in focus or business to us.

Some scraps of new information, different ways to use knowledge or something about a decision to teach-and-learn differently may come of it, but you're still working on how to think better ... how to think differently, from all your experience, to build the new life you're about to adopt.

In addition to the "What's Happening?" introduction
most issues of Step by Step contain
the following information points.

• Short, concise astro-advisories for one of nine different life areas
• A detailed plain English analysis of what the topic placement or aspect means
• A description of what you're dealing with and what to expect
• Specific information that fits this into your Natal Chart.
• Advice on how to work with it for best results
• Information on how long this will last
• A "looking ahead" summary of where things go from here
• Links to additional articles for those who want more
