Mercury in Capricorn
Mercury in Capricorn in a horoscope produces a mind that is clear, sometimes rigid and narrow, and always cautious and resourceful. Your thinking is methodical and careful. You know how to take things a step at a time, each fact building on the thought that went before. Your speech is organized and follows a logical and orderly pattern suggesting that you carefully examine and edit your words before they come out. You hardly ever say something that you are sorry for later. You are not a quick learner, but you are one who never forgets what has been absorbed. You have an excellent memory and attention to the business at hand; a down-to-earth and practical thinker. Insecure about your mental abilities, you work hard to develop yourself with education and experience opportunities. You may be a bit defensive about your lack of education, that is the case. A special need to prove yourself, one way or another, is often the case with Mercury in Capricorn. You have such very good powers of concentration, dignity, and an earnestness that can make you seem too serious. You can have a tendency toward moodiness and sulking, and you may have to work at showing any spirit of optimism. This placement of Mercury, especially if your Sun is also in Capricorn, produces one who is very quiet. Even if your Sun is in the more communicative Sagittarius or Aquarius, a Capricorn Mercury is not very talkative and sociable. You are especially self-conscience about speaking to strangers. You have a very down-to-earth approach to thinking and communicating. Planning and organizing are you special strengths, and they carry you far in business and professional life. You do particularly well on long, drawn out projects that require perseverance and determination. Once you put your mind to a task, it will surely be completed and done well. Cautious and skeptical, you may be conservative to a fault. Your love of tradition, and a natural pessimism, makes you slow to change patterns and premises that have worked in the past. Ideas that shake long-held beliefs are not very often accepted.

Mercury in Capricorn
Capricorn is a movable earth sign, having Saturn as its lord. While Saturn and Mercury share a friendly relationship, this placement brings some obstacles due to Saturn’s omnipresence in the background. People having Mercury in Capricorn are methodical and cautious in their ways. These natives think carefully before taking a step. Both Mercury and Capricorn have earth as their element so the native having Mercury in Capricorn is quite realistic and grounded, and doesn’t build castles in the air.

They have better-than-average business acumen and their organization ability is also at par with excellence. This naturally gives them an edge in their career. The negative influence of this placement makes the person harsh, deceptive, clever, and reserved in nature. These natives do not like to communicate much and keep their emotions hidden. They often spend their life serving others than starting something of their own. Their attitude is quite stubborn and narrow-minded, which doesn’t come off as likable to others. While they are quite intelligent, they do not use their aptitude constructively. They are also vulnerable to addictions and intoxication.
