I have felt very mentally "awake" the past few days or so but have also had a weird medical episode triggered by strong emotion, I've had some spiritual interactions involving my Mom and other people, and I have reconnected with a friend who is also processing a breakup. I've been thinking a lot about the past and future and generally I just feel like I'm synced up with the Universe right now. Like my intuition and synchronistic events are all just kind of on fire right now.

I'm kind of scared for mid-to-late January though lol, because Mercury is going to station direct in 8 deg. Capricorn, which is exactly conjunct my natal Chiron, for 8 days straight! It'll be there from the 15th to the 22nd (including those days).

It went over my Chiron earlier this month and on that night I wrote a very angry and frustrated journal entry about relationship issues, etc. which looking back I think was Mercury bringing up all the wounds and making me communicate about them via journaling. The next day I felt way better and journaled about things then, too.

Sometimes I will write it to the person involved. Sometimes I vent online, or in a private online journal. There’s a site for that, started years ago for people who wanted to type their morning pages for the artist’s way.

I have similar- mercury is stationing retrograde on my Moon, which opposes my Sun. I can't say I feel murky with this retrograde (yet). All the usual stuff is happening- technology issues, running into people from the past... but other than that... I actually feel A LOT of clarity about who I am.

Perhaps this retrograde will be similar for you? A clarity about yourself in some respects? For me it's in my 2nd/8th house axis and self worth and value definitely falls into that realm.

The past two months have been a new world for me- a new role (promotion) at work has been a gift for me, and helped me see myself in a whole new light. I would anticipate that this retrograde would have me revisiting this process and reviewing the steps I took to get here.

As an aside, I am a little worried about February. A trusted medium mentioned this could be a challenge for me, but I didn't ask why or how. I have looked at transits, and I can't seem to figure it out... which is probably for the best. I shouldn't know things before I need to. I do actually feel it's best to leave things to be until it's time to navigate them... it's just hard to wait and wonder if February will indeed be challenging for me.

What you said about self-worth really hits home and is something I didn't think about but it makes complete sense. My journal entry was angry and hurt but my conclusion at the end, and basically the impetus for it in the first place, was me feeling a strengthened sense of self-worth.

One of the things I wrote was, "I am worth so much more than the treatment she was giving me." and at a later point in the entry I said "At least now I know what’s good for me. At least now I know my worth, and what I will and won’t tolerate in future partnerships."

I forgot to clarify, but my Chiron is in my 8th house and Mercury will stay in my 8th for the duration of its retrograde period. So all of this stuff with self-worth and relationships/partnerships, etc. makes sense as themes I would be examining.

Yes! Maybe when mercury revisits your Chiron in the 8th it will complete the healing? Let's hope for that!
