The final Mercury Retrograde of 2020 is occurring in early Scorpio and shifting back into the Libra energies. There are some deep emotions, transformative thoughts, and evolutionary cycles that are being activated by the Scorpio energy. Yet as Mercury retrogrades it will shift into Lira and highlight our sense of balance and inner harmony and relationships will come into focus.

In 2020, all of the Mercury Retrogrades have been in water signs bringing our emotions to the forefront. Yet, this Scorpio energy is fixed and represents that collectively we might either have a breakthrough in our thought patterns or go the exact opposite and deny there is any need to change.

Take the High Road

Mercury shows where your thoughts are and what is on your mind. As it moves into Scorpio, it brings strong emotional undertones. Scorpio energies typically can hone into the BS around them and they can keenly sense when another is trying to deceive them. Keep in mind that with a retrograde the energies are not always visible or transparent. There are elements missing, and Scorpio can bring deception, obsessiveness, or the infamous Scorpion sting. The caution is to not fall into this trap and say something you will regret. Now, as Mercury retrogrades, there is the potential to not see or communicate the truth. Perhaps, others are bending the truth but because of the retrograde, you don’t have all of the information you need.

By November 3, Mercury will emerge from the retrograde, and you will begin to get more reliable information. Look to the house Scorpio rules in your chart to see where this can unfold and be mindful of.

Kundalini and the Subconscious Realms

Mercury in Scorpio does have some awesome benefits. It brings intuitiveness and shows where you can develop your gut instincts. The typical Scorpio cosmic energy is focused, determined, resourceful, transformative and they are amazing detectives. While Mercury is Retrograde, the energies can manifest in a few ways. You can either feel confused or just don’t have all of the information you need to make a decision to move forward. Second, it is the best time to do some therapy to get to the core issues that you have been avoiding. Even journaling can help the process of healing or tap into hidden dreams or talents. Scorpio is all about Kundalini energies, and this will really be an instrumental time to dive deep into the transformative process.

Silver Linings

Ideally, all retrogrades are a period of time to look at something you missed. It is a terrific time to review a specific area of your life. Use the energy to re-read, re-evaluate, and re-do something. There is an emphasis on completing past projects. Once Mercury stations direct, you will really begin to feel the shift, and notice the forward momentum in your life and all around you.
