tomorrow, October 13 at 9:05 pm EDT/6:05 pm PDT. It ends on Sunday November 3
at 12:50 pm EST and 9:50 am PST.
The zodiac sign Scorpio, whose ruling planet is Pluto,
strive for transformation, regeneration and renewal. Scorpios are led 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 its
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, its ruler are all about
procreation and regeneration, this time may provide an antidote 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.
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.
Gemini and Sagittarius, jettison things,
attitudes and views that are dead or dying are no longer true to your life. These
adjustments 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.
Mercury, which also governs short range travel, may throw
you a few curves in terms of journeys and trips, so you are advised to be
patience with any travel setbacks. In fact, patience and humor are often the
best way to negotiate any retrograde. Time spent in spiritual practices and
creative endeavors during this transit should prove quite fruitful (work on
things that you’ve set aside or put to the back burner). Metaphysical works and
divinations tend to do well under the benevolence of the Mercury Retrograde
