We have Mercury orbiting retrograde from today, October 31 to November 21, 2019, in the sign of Scorpio. Mercury in Scorpio can test you in the deepest regions of intimacy, whether the intimacy in question is emotional, sexual or financial. With Mercury retrograde in Scorpio for the next few weeks we are all about to go through our own personal lie detector test. It’s time to really come clean with yourself about what’s happening for you on a deeper level in your life.
The New Moon on October 27 and Mercury Retrograde on October 31 both in the sign of Scorpio, continues to affect us in November setting the tone for the contemplative winter season ahead. We’re encouraged to move away from our comfort zone and to welcome new ways to live, heal, and transform. It’s a time for taking a good look at what we may have chosen to sweep under the carpet. Mercury Retrograde is an excellent period for getting in touch with our instincts, motivations, and “dark” side. Retrograde Mercury periods tend to send us to the past for more or previously hidden information, and while in Scorpio, this is especially the case.
Another turn of the wheel and we leave behind the lighthearted and relaxed days of Summer and head into the Autumn to begin to “harvest” what we have “planted” in the Spring.
During the first part of the month with the Sun in Virgo and six other planets in Earth signs, we will feel the need to get grounded and to think about our day to day routine. The first part of the month is also great for getting organized, for clearing out the clutter from your home or your mind and for making sure your routine leaves time for self-care. Our health is on Virgo’s list and now is perfect time to start that exercise/diet program you’ve been putting off. Virgo will help you get motivated. Earth energy likes to keep things practical and simple, so be realistic when it comes to your goals and what it is that you want to get done. Remember, this is not a time for dreaming it is a time for doing and taking action.
