For me personally, I see Mercury Rx as a time to review, do some reading, study, a checkpoint. This Mercury Rx is in Aquarius, objective thinking, a review of thoughts that may have seemed crazy in the past, a rethink on rushing into anything.

However, this Mercury Rx will be conjunct Asteroid Damocles
At 26°04′ Aquarius, asteroid Damocles by 0°25′. The asteroid was named after a courtier in the court of Dionysius II of Syracuse, a 4th-century BC ruler of Syracuse, Sicily.

Astrologically, Damocles represents a high level of stress & vulnerability related to a feeling that something terrible is going to happen. Hold it together, Mercury stations direct February 20th, 2021.
