The beginning of the last Mercury Retrograde of the Year: A deep period of personal introspection that could help you release your darkest fears.
You may notice themes around:

Impulsiveness that you will regret
A need to deal with addictive behaviours
Nothing turning out as expected, especially in the electronic realm
This is a week to:
✔ Truly slow down - Mercury and Venus are personal planets which affect our day to day.
✔ Purge - Sun square Pluto can create conflicts and you can channel them to release your old triggers
✔ Fix broken electronice- What has been sitting around and needs fixed or tossed?
✔ Mind your finances - Do a deep dive into your expenses and see where you can tighten things up.
✔ Review your role in your relationships - where do you need to contribute more?
Ask yourself:
Does slowing down bother me? If so, what am I keeping myself so busy for?

☿ Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio: Prepare for What Needs a Second Look
October 24th – November 13th, 2026
Here is a refresher on the Mercury retrograde.
Mercury turned 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.
