The next month features extraordinary productivity and an ability to transcend the past.

Mercury is going direct at 5:12 am PST January 18 and will be in its shadow zone through February 7, after which it enters its next phase of moving through "unknown zones" where the themes of this retrograde will be played out in forward motion.
