Mercury the planet of literacy, intelligence, communication, way of thinking, way of talking and pronunciation. The planet that represents young people , children, students, schools, etc. is moving into sign of Scorpio where it will start its retrograde phase from 24th of October until 13th of November and it will leave the sign of Scorpio on 6th of December.
Mercury in the sign of Scorpio has the abilities to find hidden things, uncover hidden intentions and emotions. It gives abilities to people who have these placements to be very leaned towards spying and being good criminal policemen’s. Nothing can be hidden from Mercury in Scorpio because Mercury has already hid it in a better place. Mysterious and so hard to be read, people with these placements uncover deepest secrets only to the closest ones or never. Since the sign of Scorpio is a sign of death, resurrection and transformation, here, we have this witty planet usually having a ‘’darker’’ mind of other placements. On the other side, when people with these Mercury placements are being provoked their words can brake your bones to brittle. It is never a good idea going into a verbal fights with these people if you don’t have tough skin. Also these people have a cursed tongue, if you really bring them to the brick of sanity they will unconsciously say the words that can really affect your being in the future.
This Mercury transit throughout Scorpio will be tense. Mercury will immediately start building a square aspect with Mars and Pluto while approaching Venus. Here we will be a lot of nagging and unpleasant comments. Fights and altercations will be present. People will use deepest and most confidential secrets in order to get back at someone. On top of that we will be having difficulties in conversing with other people, everything will feel like it is gonna be lit up in seconds. I have described the nature of Mars and Pluto in my text about Mars’ transit throughout Leo in this constellation. Mars and Pluto rule the sign of Scorpio so Mercury’s transit throughout it will be just a mirror of these two and their doings. You can imagine Mercury being the messenger of these two and if both planets are not getting their way Mercury will be activated like a fury with the most poisonous and disgusting way of communicating. From 30th of September until 15th of October , words will brake bones. Be very wary what you say to other people and what you think of others. Everything will be measured.
From 15th of October until 24th of October , Mercury will be in square with Jupiter. In this short period of time we will be challenged and conflicted when it comes to our deepest desires. A lot of misunderstandings will be present in our day to day life. Details and informations wont be processed that easily. This square can also bring potential in dealing with taboo questions concerning life and death. Where we stand in our views with these kind of topics.
On 24th of October , MERCURY WILL START ITS RETROGRADE PHASE that will last until 13th of November. Whenever Mercury is retrograde it is not advisable to sign any contracts, do any administration, buy new things or even start new projects. But every Mercury retrograde has a different nature in different signs. The truth of it all is that informations can’t flow easily and usually we need to check them twice or more times. In this retrograde phase Mercury will be faced with Mars in square aspect and then as its end with Pluto in square. We will be forced to think outside of the box. Conventional themes and conversations will be switched with much more darker topics. All of these spooky and taboo topics can really help up broaden our understanding of life and its beginning, end and transformation.
There can be a lot of disturbance in large scale cities. Fundings could come to a question and budgets will be drained. Corruption could become more transparent and fake news in form of twisted narratives will be present in the media. Public trials will take odd turns.
The biggest shook will be the facts that will be uncovered and released into public. The truth of it all will be heavy for most people to bear.
Sign placements in Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius and Taurus will be most affected in during this transit and Mercury retrograde. Depending on in which house the Mercury is transiting there will be lot of hiccups during this period. Summed up , in this time frame do not sign contracts, evade making trial appointments and do not buy new things. A lot of you will be feeling stuck and like nothing is going its way. Pause and reassemble yourselves and your strength. The time for acting will be when Mars and Jupiter meet together in Leo. Everything will be on pending list and a lot of informations will be lost in the process, all of the things will pick up its pace after 20th of November in full speed.
Signs that will be having revelations and that will get a deeper and more satisfying path to inner selves are Pisces, Cancer, Virgo and Capricorn placements. Use this time to deep dive and introspect your affirmations. This transit will start with a heavy feeling of being powerless but as Mercury goes deeper in retrograde phase things that are not serving anymore will be dismantled. It will be a painful experience in the beginning but utmost satisfying in the end. Trust the process.
The most satisfying days of this transit will be 24th , 25th and 26th of November, after Mercury pump and grind us with all of the things that we were neglecting, hiding and not wanting to deal with – release will come. From 24th of November until its transit in Sagittarius on 6th of December expect a really potent time for creating, writing and adding abstract tones into our lives. We will be watching the world with more intel and wit than ever before. The fights will fade and we will be definitely sure in us and other people around us. Masks will fall and we will be completely aware where we stand and where is our place in this world. Amazing art will be created during this short period of time and we will be graced with so many good ideas.
Until nexts Mercuries transit in Sagittarius ,
