What observable changes in your communication style or preferences do you notice during periods when you might feel more compassionate or empathetic?

The dance between Venus in Pisces and your natal Mercury in Capricorn can feel like you're wearing ballet slippers on one foot and a steel-toed boot on the other. As these planets square off, you might find yourself in a celestial tug-of-war between your head and your heart. Venus, the planet of love, is swimming through the dreamy waters of Pisces, softening the edges of your communication with a touch of empathy. This may feel like a strange cloak over your typically structured and practical Mercury in Capricorn approach.

You might notice an unusual inclination to pepper your conversations with a bit more poetry than pie charts. It's as if your inner CEO is taking a brief sabbatical and the office poet laureate is standing in. Words are not just words during this time; they are woven with emotional threads that connect you to the listener in a more intimate tapestry. This can be disconcerting when you're trying to discuss the quarterly reports and find yourself moved by the plight of the office plants.

As Venus casts her rosy hue over your interactions, even emails may seem to require a bit more emotional intelligence. Where once a curt "Acknowledged" sufficed, you might find yourself typing out, "I've received your message and deeply understand the importance of this issue." Your colleagues could be scratching their heads, wondering if you've been replaced by an alien with a penchant for feelings.

This period invites you to consider the balance between logic and love in your articulation. It's not every day that your inner Spock gets serenaded by a choir of empathetic sirens. Yet, this dance can enrich your relationships and bring a refreshing depth to your exchanges. Let's hope that the steel-toed boot doesn't squish the ballet slipper in the process. Instead, may you find a harmonious step that allows for both precision and grace in your interactions. Who knows, you might just find that the language of compassion becomes a surprising asset in your communication repertoire, as long as you don't accidentally sign off a professional email with "Love and Light".
