The Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio began on October 31 11:41 am EDT and 8:41 am PDT. It ends on Sunday November 20th at 2:12 pm EST and 11:12 am PST. I’m sorry for such late notice but recent losses of my father, a close friend and one more in hospice I’ve been somewhat overwhelm.
  
The zodiac sign Scorpio, whose ruling planet is Pluto, strive for transformation, regeneration and renewal. Scorpios are lead by their desires and passion. At their best, Scorpios are committed, resourcefulness and bravery. At their worst Scorpios are possessive, jealous and vengeful

The planet Mercury, in astrology, governs thought, communications, ideas, short term travel and reasoning. It represents the way we think, communicate and share our ideas. It embodies how we impart information and share our knowledge.

This retrogrades focus is based on your desires and may require a re-evaluate about your feelings about your urges and desires. What do you want? The passions for what you want will be stoked through these next three weeks. How you may fulfill these desires might be quite another matter.  It will spend the Whole of it’s time in Scorpio.

Retrogrades tend to require recognition and exploration of their "themes" based along the astrological sign it's transiting. the nature of this transit may have you searching  desires, especially hidden desires, long dormant passion coming to surface. Desires are often elusive and this particular transit may serve as a spur towards making an effort to fulfill them.  Restoration of hope and the power of renewal are the hallmarks of this transit. “Follow your bliss” as J. Campbell would say.  

As Scorpio, the sign and Pluto, it's ruler are all about procreation and regeneration, this time may provide an antidotes to issues in the romance department or overall change in an existing relationship, for better or worse . Pluto, Scorpio's ruling planet is Lord of consequence, so if you start with less than honorable intentions in any area of your life don't be surprised at the instant karma effect. Power plays and politicking may boomerang if you don't employ caution. Striving for clarity and open communication as this retrograde tends with work against Scorpio usual secretive ways. View this retrograde as a period of very powerful personal transformation.

The Full Moon in Taurus on the 12th may make for some intense moments so working being grounded and being in grounding activities as much as possible. Understand that lust for results may cause you to get fixated on a specific outcome and compel you to strive to do it in the next few weeks. Avoid such impulses, instead let this be a time you reflect upon past matters and whether they are worthy of regeneration. See this as a time to get fired up but not necessarily a time to start. Find your passion again and rekindling it is a big part of one’s work here. Remember, Retrogrades often delay the very subject matter they're focused on, so prepare with an eye for the future. 

 Taurus, A time of activity and demand may be upon you. This period may prove very productive but you’ll have to work on stuff you’d rather avoid. Use your legendary patience to see you through.

 Scorpio, enjoy a moment of pause and re-positioning. If you have needed a little time out, here may be a time for a vacation or retreat that may offer valuable time to think. Figure out what matters to you and re-invest in it. 

Leo and Aquarius, jettison things, attitudes and views that are dead or dying are no longer true to your life. These adjustment will require your attention but you’ll find it time well spent.
As with all retrogrades, communication, thoughts and planning can be greatly altered resulting in delays and postponement of important activities. Because it can affects spoken communications, written text, email messages, etc expect challenges when sharing information.
