How will Mercury in Scorpio affect us?
It’s time to trust our intuition! Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind, swims into the depths of Scorpio from October 29 until November 17, 2023.
During this time, we will demand the absolute truth at the heart of matters. We cannot—and will not—settle for superficial answers, discussions or thoughts. We will crave a full perspective of everyone and everything that we are dealing with. The intimate details are important now—they don’t fall through the cracks because we are able to pick up information more intuitively and synthesize messages for what lies beneath them.
In fact, because this energy is so potent, we seek to dig deep, uncover facts and investigate everything for ourselves. Uncovering lies, scandals, deception or flaws comes more easily now. Communication may not be as verbal now. We may choose silence and tact so that our messages carry maximum power. At the best level, this energy can help us to know ourselves—and others—to the core. Deep conversations—and promises—will be deeply gratifying. Especially if they are meant to last forever or are “all or nothing.”
Scorpio is a Water sign, which means that our minds will be run on emotion and instinct. Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, which are planets of tremendous intensity. We will be aggressive and assertive in our discussions—and fearsome if our ideas, egos or opinions are not respected.
A shadow side of this energy would be that we might become more vindictive, secretive or dramatic. Also, because Scorpio’s energy can be so colored by emotion—and potentially dark—we may brew and fester in our thoughts and feelings. Obsession, jealousy and manipulation are also more prominent with this energy activated.
