Mercury turns direct on Monday, January 1, 2024, at 22°33' Sagittarius. Its shadow period lasts until January 21, 2024. The degree Mercury turns direct on is represented in the Sabian symbols by “immigrants entering a new country.” Today, there could still be some misunderstandings, changed minds, lost keys, disrupted schedules, and missed flights. Tomorrow, communications will shift to their new order. This is a wonderful way to start this new year on a new mental basis, free from the known.
