The Mercury retrograde in Scorpio starts at 11 Scorpio 40 on 14 October 2020 and goes direct at 25 Libra 57 on 3rd Nov 2020 (Note: Mars in Aries will go direct on 2nd Nov 2020 giving positive “energy” to the Mercury direct motion). Mercury follows the previous Venus retrograde path that was at 10 Scorpio 49 on 5th Oct 2018 and direct at 25 Libra 14 pm 16th Nov 2018. This 2020 Mercury retrograde will make clear Venus’ intentions from Nov 2018.
The ruler of Scorpio is Pluto- it purifies and transforms. Utilizing Pluto’s power wrongly backfires eventually. Pluto energy in a person magnetizes and with Mercury added- it “speaks” magnetically and draws people in. It is the modern-day Guru- not just the spiritual ones either- they are everywhere.
Mercury rules the nervous system like Uranus as it is through nerves & impulses, we work our organs. Scorpios speaks to the sexual organs and to some extent the brain, especially the hidden psychological side. Mercury quincunx’s or inconjuncts Aries therefore the Mars retrograde period- this speaks to an adjustment needs to be made, perhaps for others ideas or opinions (I said it squared this in the video, apologies), Mercury retrograde in Scorpio opposes Taurus, and squares both Aquarius & Leo- these signs may have more challenges with the Mercury retrograde in arriving at final conclusions.
Mercury or Hermes was the only entity that could enter the underworld (Scorpio & Pluto’s domain) unscathed- this can represent grief issues too. As messenger of the gods, he travels from the heavens to earth to the underworld unfettered. Other societies revered Mercury too- e.g. Thoth in Egypt. Mercury is viewed as a fertility god and he delivered souls to the underworld. Mercury guides us across our light & dark shadow sides of ourselves. The Emerald Tablet from Hellenist times referred to Mercury being thrice anointed: 1. In alchemy (magic), 2. Astrology, 3. Theurgy (in the hermetic sense to take things apart and analyze individual components and unite in a spiritual grace).
Important transits by Mercury retrograde in Scorpio include 18th Nov. Venus at 25 degrees of Libra, 22-24 Nov. Mars opposes Mercury now direct, 27/28 Dec 2020 Mars at 25 Aries going direct will oppose the direct degree “point” of Mercury @ 25 degrees of Libra. All these transits will activate whatever had come up for you around the time Mercury in Scorpio went direct- 3rd Nov 2020.
