Mercury in Scorpio uncovers deep insights
Starting October 29th, Mercury slinks into Scorpio, and your DMs are about to get deep.
When the planet that rules communication enters a sign where passions seethe and observations pierce, even your casual conversations get juicy. If there’s a touch of angst brewing in your relationships, or if you’ve been dodging a psychological breakthrough in therapy, it’s time to excavate. The insights that arrive now will be heavyweights — and have the power to kickstart healing that lasts.
Incoming: Revelatory Mail
The Mercury cazimi (exact conjunction with the Sun) on November 8th arrives on the same day as the lunar eclipse in Taurus. Mercury cazimis are known to bring messages — but a Mercury cazimi in Scorpio on the same day as a lunar eclipse? Expect revelatory mail from the shadowlands. Missives from your unconscious (and your feelings) will help distill the deep pulse of what it is you really want.
Seek out deep, meaningful interactions
One note of caution: when Mercury, the planet that rules our thoughts, dons Scorpio’s detective garb, we can hunt for motives that might not be there. Resist the temptation to complicate simple joys, or hunt for strings where none are attached.
As always, seek the interactions that satisfy you in the depth of your heart. What Mercury craves in this sign is enough vulnerability to stoke genuine intimacy, and the kinds of long conversations that stretch on to the early hours. Take your thinking — and your discussions— to their edges, and let the thrill of intense bonding transform your perspective.
