November 9
Mercury turns retrograde
You’re not going to like being grabbed by the scruff of your neck when Mercury turns retrograde on November 9th. That’s because you were really looking forward to making a lot of headway, but now you’ll be forced to deal with all kinds of complications – complications that will only get worse when Mercury changes signs on November 18th. Mercury back in Scorpio will confront you with the consequences and technicalities that you breezed past the first time. Maybe it’s money you owed, responsibilities you shirked, or the people you crossed. Now this could be punitive or you can redirect the energy by do right by those you hurt. It’s often “all bets off” whenever a planet retrogrades out of a sign and back into another, but it’s also a do-over; a chance to get things right. Follow this cosmic cue and you may find that you’ve cleared the way to make the headway you were expecting to make when Mercury comes out of retrograde on October 29th. Signs most affected: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces
