When Mercury in Capricorn and the 3rd house of communication, siblings, and short journeys you give serous thought to how you communicate with others. Your mind races with thoughts and ideas and you have more communication with others. However,  you have the discipline now to focus and communicate with others more responsibly in order to be heard and get your point across. You are more adept at multitasking so long as you have a plan and perform all your tasks in a structured way such as writing up an itinerary, making a to-do list, or allowing a certain amount of time to each tasks. 

Aspects

Aspects, or relationships between planets, are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be taken into consideration when delineating a chart. As you can see from the chart above we have a Grand Earth Trine between Mercury in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus, and the Virgo Ascendant.  People are at ease with you and feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas to you. This configuration of planets brings ease to your mind allowing you to be more open to new concepts and ideas as well as to use such concepts in a practical manner..
