Read your horoscope for Mercury in Scorpio
Truth and dare
From October 13th to November 2nd, Mercury — the planet of communication — skulks through mysterious Scorpio, leaving polite chitchat at the door. Switch on incognito mode, queue up your conspiracy theory podcasts, and practice your most smoldering faces. When our cosmic messenger enters this fixed water sign, everything that normally gets swept under the rug is amplified. Every emoji begs to be psychoanalyzed. Even the lulls in our conversations and omissions in our emails take on new meanings.
With Mercury in Scorpio dialing up our subtext radars, we can unravel subtle abuses of power, shadowy agendas, and deep psychological truths with our spidey senses — but we can also get caught in the tangled webs of our own obsessive thoughts. As you plot your next chess moves or search for clues in a crush’s social media feed, just make sure you direct this same laser focus to your own motivations. And share your probing questions and profound insights with the friends and confidants who can help you avoid falling down a rabbit hole — and maintain your sense of humor. One of Mercury in Scorpio’s greatest gifts is its sharp wit, so don’t be afraid to cut any mounting tension with your slyest jokes.
