Mercury Retrograde Scorpio
October 31 - November 20, 2019
Most people aren’t aware that when planets are retrograde, they are actually brighter! On Halloween, Mercury will go retrograde in Scorpio giving us a cosmic window of time where we retrace our thoughts and review our intentions.
Mercury, ruled by The Magician archetype, has the power of intention, focus, and concentration. It is connected to the Mercury Vortex, just above the crown of our head. This vortex is responsible for brain health and our nervous system. Whilst influenced by Scorpio, the cosmic mood will be funneled into revealing survival patterns that we deem too important to release.
As the planet Mercury retraces its steps in Scorpio, we will be looking at fears that have come up since Oct. 11, 2019. The cosmos wants us to release and transform old thought processes so that we can achieve a state of freedom and understanding. Meditation, karmic work, and brain integration would be some modalities to use throughout this Mercury retrograde.
What’s more is that this is a time when we need to really look into how well we share our words, thoughts, and ideas with others. The degree that we are able to release conscious and hidden survival patterns determines how strong our ability to receive information will be when Mercury goes direct.
The thing about retrograde planets is that they do pose a challenge, but they also offer solutions that we wouldn’t otherwise find. So it’s really a great opportunity to think outside of the box, once we think outside of our patterns.
If you’re fasting, slow down with it, you’ll need oil for your brain and nervous system whilst Mercury is retrograde. If you have been born with Mercury retrograde this will be a familiar time for you, especially if you have Mercury in Scorpio.
On the emotional level, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio can bring about some feelings of loneliness and depression. Scorpio is an intense water sign that sometimes likes to obsess on what’s “wrong”. We just need to be aware of this propensity so we don’t get blown away by the cosmic winds. Yet Scorpio can also entirely transform our thinking process out of any limited webs of duality where we are obsessed with “right” and “wrong”. Just stay objective and try to trust the process even if you don’t quite grasp it.
On the mental level, the Mercury retrograde in Scorpio vortex is all about issues communicating sexual desires and knowing what it is that you really align with. Asexuality is popular during these times, or like mental sex where the glands are activated on a purely intellectual level. We need to really focus on learning past patterns because this can pose learning difficulties. So try to stay focused on the task at hand even if all you can think about is sex.
