This year’s Scorpio season is all about reflecting and reviewing this year so far. Scorpio is a fixed water sign and the 8th sign of the zodiac. Scorpios have an intimate connection with the world that many do not understand, usually characterizing them as the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac. Scorpio represents the mysterious 8th house that rules birth, death, and sex.
On October 31, Mercury, the planet of communication, goes into retrograde for 3 weeks. During this period, Mercury will travel backwards in the sky, signaling a time to review an areas of our lives that we may feel uncertain about. You may have negative associations about Mercury going into retrograde due to influence of pop culture but do not fear. Scorpio season embodies transformation and with this retrograde that transformation will be all the more heightened. Astrology is a tool to learn about yourself; use it wisely and you will see many changes. Slow down and listen deeply, ask yourself if you are resisting your truth and switch your perspective.
