Mercury in Capricorn
Mercury is how you think and speak — the mind's texture, the learning style, the voice. It is the courier between who you are and who you meet. In Capricorn — the mountain — that mind, words and way of learning becomes a workshop mind: it checks the math twice, precisely, usefully. It does not wait for permission — it starts.
