Mercury into Scorpio: A Clear and Deep Pool

Today, Mercury slides into Scorpio, and will travel through this watery sign until November 27th, then entering Sagittarius. Mercury is the quick moving planet governing mental construct, intellect and communication. When he dives into the deep and mystical realm of Scorpio, especially this weekend, in these first few degrees, so too do our thoughts and attention turn more toward to undercurrents of life, dipping deep below the surface for analysis and inquiry. You may find yourself feeling called to journal about what's going on inwardly for you, or perhaps to have a sit down with a friend or loved one in conversation. If you are a fan of Tarot or other oracles, this is a good time to call upon the mystical depths of such a practice, as your mind will be very ready to interpret meaning in a way that is clear. It is also important to note that Mercury will be officially exiting its post-retrograde 'shadow' on Monday the 10th, and that this entire Scorpio weekend is therefore more conducive to clear thinking and successful communication than in the recent past, during the intense retrograde period that occurred through most of October. This November month could be seen as an integration period for all the of the challenging lessons that came to you during those weeks, a time when the opportunity is present to look deeply at where transformation and shedding old skin has gotten you in your ongoing requirement to move forward.
