MERCURY RETROGRADE IN SCORPIO - November 1st -21st: “WATCH YOUR BACK!”
Planet: Mercury Sign: Scorpio Cycle: Retrograde Motion Date: November 1st - 21st
The best use of Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is for the purpose of inner transformation, regeneration and growth. Outwardly, anything that can be improved upon, revived in a more positive format, eliminating self-destructive behavior and thoughts for retribution towards others is a good course of action during this transit.. Manipulation is another kind of behavior that will be rampant with this Scorpio retrograde. It may become obvious that certain individuals are “puling the strings” for their own benefit, without thought or caring for the consequences inflicted upon their victim and at the same time “stabbing you in the back”.
Because Mercury rules all forms of communication, caution is advised, avoiding words that cause irreparable harm to others. Secrets and brooding jealousies will be prominent but could all end up being exposed once the aspect changes direction. On a personal and intimate level, this would be a good time to merge deeply with a significant other, bringing the relationship to a higher level. This is also a very creative time for those who have ideas that need to make an impact once the retrograde is over.
The past is another issue to be aware of, in that, forgotten people will come back, but not necessarily with good intent, because of this particular retrograde. Certain individuals may appear to have changed, grown or willing to help/support, but there will be ulterior motives/agendas hidden in tha background. Best advice, don’t believe everything you’re being told or take things on face-value.
With Mercury retrograde in this intense sign, instincts will be sharp and should be trusted, because this isn’t one of the most positive retrogrades, influencing most people to lean towards the wrong side of Natural Law. However, if a person is attuned to the Universal flow, there’s always a way out of Scorpio entanglements and sting, taking into consideration, the Universe never forgets, it just waits for the right time and place for “accounts to be settled”.
