🌙 This Week’s Energy Overview
October 12th, 2026
This week we are moving through:
The completion of transformation work that you began this past May. Are you ready to let go of whatever keeps you isolated and alone?
You may notice themes around:
Being called to be of service
Reminiscing about old loves
Being rewarded for guiding others
Digging into the details about something you are passionate about
This is a week to:
✔ Start backing up important work - Mercury pre-shadow is already getting glitchy.
✔ Collaborate with others - Venus square Mars creates needed tension.
✔ Identify the patterns of past relationships - is there a common theme? What can you change? You have a chance to begin again.
✔ Adjust your beliefs about relationships - small mindset changes can bring breakthroughs
✔ Expect to be surprised - an old fire is being re-lit.
Ask yourself:
If I had the chance to revive an old relationship, what would I change about my approach?

☿ Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio: Prepare for What Needs a Second Look
October 24th – November 13th, 2026
We are already in Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow, making this the perfect time to slow down, pay attention, and prepare for the weeks ahead. Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on October 24th, inviting us to revisit conversations, uncover missing information, and reconsider decisions that may not be as settled as they appear. It turns direct on November 13th, with the post-shadow period continuing through November 30th.
Scorpio asks us to look beneath the surface. During this cycle, old conversations may resurface, financial or relationship agreements may need another look, and truths we have overlooked may become harder to ignore. With Venus also retrograde, questions about trust, personal values, relationships, and what we truly want may be part of the story.
How can you use the pre-shadow period now?
Review important documents, plans, and agreements.
Back up files and double-check dates, details, and messages.
Notice recurring conversations or unresolved issues.
Give yourself room to reconsider before making assumptions.
Ask what needs clarification, healing, or completion before you move forward.
Mercury retrograde isn't something to fear. It is an opportunity to revisit what needs attention and make more informed choices. The more aware you are now, the better prepared you may feel when the review deepens.
🔮 Where will Mercury retrograde affect your life?
Your Rising Sign reveals the house where this Scorpio retrograde is taking place—and the area of life most likely to call for review. A personalized astrology session can help you explore how this cycle interacts with your birth chart, what may be ready for reconsideration, and how to work with the timing.
