The Mountain Mind: Mercury ingress into Capricorn and the New Year Begins.

Today, January 1st 2026, Mercury enters Capricorn, opening the New Year with intention, gravity, and resolve. This ingress marks a shift from reflection into construction, from vision into form. The mind turns practical now, less concerned with what could be and more devoted to what can be built with care and consistency.

Mercury in Capricorn speaks with purpose. Thoughts slow down, sharpen, and mature. This is

a mental season of planning, strategy, and accountability, where words are chosen carefully and ideas are measured against time. Decisions want longevity, conversations seek substance, and

the mind begins to think in structures rather than impulses.

Mercury arrives at the mountain with quiet resolve, joining Venus, Mars, and the Sun. Here, thought matures into commitment, and the climb ahead is shaped by patience, purpose, and devotion to what truly endures.

As Mercury moves through Capricorn until January 20th 2026, he joins the Sun, Mars, and Venus already gathered in this sign, forming a Stellium. Thought, action, desire, and identity align under the same earthy discipline. This creates a powerful atmosphere for setting goals that are realistic, embodied, and sustainable. What is initiated now is meant to grow steadily, step by step, without rush but with commitment.

Just before this ingress, on December 30th 2025, Mercury completed a square to Saturn in Pisces. This final transit of the year acted as a threshold. Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, asked for accountability before granting entry into the new cycle. That square pressed the mind to face emotional truth, consequence, and responsibility, refining beliefs and clearing excess before Mercury crossed into Capricorn.

What felt heavy at the end of December was not meant to burden, but to prepare. Mercury enters Capricorn wiser, steadier, and ready to carry the weight of intention forward. The year begins not with noise, but with resolve, not with urgency, but with grounded clarity.

May the mind move with patience and integrity, choosing words that shape a future worth standing on. Allow each thought to become a stone laid with care, steady enough to carry

the year ahead.

Happy 2026! Happy New Beginning!
