What Sun Conjunct Mercury Means
The Sun and Mercury sit down together in Aquarius on January 21, creating what astrologers call a "Mercury cazimi". A rare window when Mercury is so close to the Sun that its intelligence is purified and amplified. Think of it as tuning a radio until the static disappears and the music comes through perfectly.
In Aquarius, the ideas that arrive tend to be original, forward-looking, and sometimes brilliantly unconventional. What if the thought that pops into your head today is the one worth following? This is one of the best days of the year for important conversations, signing agreements, and any communication that benefits from crystal clarity and genuine confidence.
