Mercury in Capricorn

Unconscious Expression

Asleep fear: Losing status by not knowing the answers to everything.

Result: You can develop a pretense of being the final intellectual authority in all fields. There’s a tendency to use every opportunity to gather knowledge and impress others, always assuming an authoritarian attitude. This can produce alienation and breakdown of your credibility with other people. A pretentious speaking manner may disenchant others, provoking them to withhold information. This can lead to a constant disruption of any attempted communication. 

Conscious Expression

By focusing on the informational needs of others, you can effortlessly share relevant ideas. When your motive in giving information is to support others, you automatically communicate true knowledge and eliminate pretense. Relinquishing the Capricorn need to maintain authority allows others to share the information necessary for further mutual advancement.

You can stop taking yourself so seriously by paying attention to the sensitivities of others. Then you can organize the situation effectively and share authority. This opens the door for others to show appreciation and respect for your abilities.
