It’s time to go deep. Mercury in Scorpio means dealing with issues that lie outside the normal traffic of your day–to-day experience. Get ready to be pushed off the ledge and into the deep end for the next six weeks as tough questions regarding the taboo topics of sex, death, and other people’s money rise to the surface.

Normally you could evade being pinned down to any specific position, using conversation to explore different perspectives or introducing alternative interpretations of a widely held belief. During this transit through Scorpio, however, you will be held accountable for things said in the past and how they gel with what you’re saying now. This could work for or against you, so tread carefully.

Plus there are so many issues at stake like who are you supporting in the election? How are you coping with Covid-19? And will you ever have a sex life again?

Remember that the questions that make us uncomfortable are also the same ones that make us grow so you’ll want to make time in your day and room in your heart to word these in a way that will prove illuminating.

Meanwhile Mercury turns retrograde on October 13th. You’ll want to check back here then to see what that means for you!
