Have you been feeling a little nervous lately?
Many people do when Mercury enters it’s retrograde season.
I’m here to reassure you that there’s nothing to fear now because Mercury is Retrograding in Scorpio -- meaning this will be one of the most direct retrogrades of the year!
Astrological Energy Shift: Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio October 13, 2020 - November 3, 2020
The last Mercury shift you experienced was Mercury in Libra, which probably expanded your social and professional networking circles.
Now that Mercury has transited to Scorpio, the mundane small talk that usually starts building connections is no longer enough to satisfy your probing mind.
Anytime Mercury’s energy is present, it’s stimulating the mind from the way thought forms come to you all the way to how you choose to express them.
This is especially true during a retrograde period as the “challenges” you may face will help you reassess the way you speak and process information.
This season will alter your perspective on the world around you, from people to projects you’ve been invested in.
When Mercury’s cosmic energy intertwines with Scorpio’s intensity, you’ll be able to get down to the truth.
It’s important for you to know that discovering the truth doesn’t have to be tumultuous.
In fact, the Universe is pushing you and everyone around you to have authentic conversations about why you have crossed one another’s paths.
The next month is great for forming profound connections that can last a lifetime. If anything, Scorpio’s transformational energy can bring deep emotional clarity.
Pay attention to the conversations that you have this month!
Maximize This Energy
I’m here to help you understand this delicate universal cocktail of energies so that you can make the most of this time.
Just a few weeks ago, Mars went retrograde in Aries and will be there until the end of the year.
Remember, people’s aggression is boiling inside almost like a pressure cooker while Mars is retrograding.
To make the most out of this energy without causing any problems with your new friends, family members, and professional connections, watch the way that you speak and choose your words wisely.
If others are asking you questions that make you uncomfortable, try reaching for clarity by being curious rather than defensive.
Trust me, this can save a lot of bickering during this Mercury transit!
Go Deeper
Find where Mercury is transiting in your individual natal chart. Uncovering the house that Mercury is in will explain the “life setting” that you may feel this transit the most.
For instance, if Mercury is transiting your first house, you might gain emotional clarity about yourself and your individual ambitions. But if it’s in the seventh house (the opposite), you might gain emotional clarity about relationships.
