When Mercury seeps into Scorpio on November 5th, it’s on a mission to sort out what belongs to you vs. your collaborators. You may find yourself wading the swampy ditches of partnership, remembering all you’ve sacrificed for this union. On November 10th, this sort of emotional accounting could sting as you discover silent resentments or grudges. Take your time and go slow as you begin to express what you hope to gain from this venture. On the path to clarity, there is many a lurking sinkhole. Yet, your intuition is a trustworthy guide through the lowlands of partnership. Investigate the default defense modes that could have muddied the waters. Empathy and honesty bring you into richer collaborations. [Taurus glyph] []Taurus & Taurus Rising On November 5th, Mercury enters Scorpio to pierce the veil within your most important relationships. This sphere of intimacy has a way of bringing focus on the coziness you create and the danger you seek in another. Go ahead and chit-chat with your number one into the late-night hours. On November 10th, you encounter the old bones of bitterness. You’ll feel called to name them even if it widens the gulf in your relationship, or if what’s revealed catches you off guard. If you can’t get to a place of agreement, surrender to the phase that you’re in now. Some part of you could want to escape to better times. Getting carried away in the rivers of your unions is one thing. Expecting it to deliver a solution is another. Have the sticky conversation, even if it takes all night. You navigate defense mechanisms (including your own) through your willingness to go there. [Gemini glyph] []Gemini & Gemini Rising Mercury sloshes into Scorpio to investigate your work and health practices. Now is the time to strategize new forms of efficiency. Like any good reconnaissance mission, you’ve got to collect intel on any pitfalls and traps on the way to success. This sleuthing is your secret sauce. Conversations around your work tasks turn emotional and prickly on November 10th. If there are problems in your working world, the answer isn’t to work harder. Go back to your original scheme. This may mean that you trade the initial plan for one that will pass muster. It’s also a time to trust your intuition. Turn your attention to what your 5 senses relay to you. In what direction are the tides turning? You can certainly maneuver your systems overhaul in that direction. [Cancer glyph] []Cancer & Cancer Rising When Mercury enters Scorpio on November 5th, you’re tempted to spill the secret on what you’ve been creating. Even if your inspired works usually remain unposted or private for a trusted few, you’ll get a thrill of letting the cat out of the bag, if just for a moment. On November 10th, contact with the creator spirit makes you obsessive-protective over your great work(s). Maybe you become defensive over your seasonal mood boards, goth designs or confessional poetry. Maybe you decide to never reveal them again. Yet don’t be jostled by this urge to strike first in the face of harsh feedback. You’ve got the power to recognize a challenger to your inner artist. As you reclaim your pleasure for pleasure’s sake, you move from overthinking it to letting it all flow. The muses invite you to experience enjoyment and satisfaction and to let folks know about it. How good does it feel to express yourself with abandon? How rewarding is it when your creations spawn others? [Leo glyph] []Leo & Leo Rising When Mercury dips into Scorpio on November 5th, opt to take inventory of your home’s broom closet. The planet of understanding is keen on evaluating your nesting quarters and the communication lines that connect you. This close inspection delivers waves of satisfaction as you set to scrubbing any mud prints that found their way past the front door. Once you’ve had a chance to propagate your plant familiars in rich soil, turn your attention to the deeper issues that usually lie dormant. Like nudging a sleeping kitten awake, this could provoke an initial kerfuffle of words between you and your cohabitants come November 10th. Sometimes, stirring the pot must be done. Stew in your feels about whether you’ve really been heard. As you pick apart the narratives of your upbringing, you may decide to bury the false ones in the ground. Stories are power; you can always choose which ones you want to live by. Those left standing become counsel to repeat for future generations. [Virgo glyph] []Virgo & Virgo Rising Long before social media, healers, witches and diviners communicated messages to their local communities. When Mercury enters Scorpio, you come to stand at this rich nexus of knowing what those around you need to hear. Take to researching and studying the lessons, tensions and subtle connections of your physical and online gathering places. Sometimes immersing yourself in the affairs of others has consequences. On November 10th, you’re reminded of when to intervene and when to keep your lips sealed. It’s hard to resist when you have just the perfect advice for someone in need. Yet holding off on dispensing your wisdom, especially if unsolicited, is good medicine for you. Really, this is about knowing what you need to express and confess. Turn the probing inward and journal your fears, intimate dreams, and conversations held in confidence. The exercise of expression is inspired by your spheres of influence but is still deeply private. After all, you are the secret-keeper of your community. [Libra glyph] []Libra & Libra Rising A financial strategy serves you well when Mercury wades into Scorpio on November 5th. You know that your assets and income are best supported by being one step ahead and updating the combination to your lockbox. Activate your inner merchant and cunning to sort through your accounts. It’s serious work but it’s also pleasurable to break your piggy bank and count the collection. On November 10th, talks around your things and possessions turn touchy. You’re fueled up to defend what you’ve worked so hard to acquire. Yet, there’s a toll collector at this impasse and you may have to pay in patience. Of course, it’s tempting to get drunk on the punch and divulge the secrets of your acquisition strategy. Stay low-key and tight-lipped on what you’re working to produce. The fruit ripens in silence and fortitude. You’ve traveled a long way on your road to financial freedom, and the wisdom you’ve acquired gets you to the next spiral on this staircase. Ascend or descend to the next level of understanding what’s yours. [Scorpio glyph] []Scorpio & Scorpio Rising On November 5th, Mercury forges into Scorpio, keen on communicating the vibes of your mysterious brand. Explore the inner realms of expression, write out your thoughts, post about the goth and synth underground affiliations. Never one to put your own self on blast, this may bring up equal parts vulnerability and thrill. Letting the world know how you feel is a practice of articulating what often gets channeled into bubbling tides of emotions. On November 10th, you’re willing to do espionage to proceed to the next stage of a plan. But as Mercury squares Saturn, the advice is to go back to your notes. What’s working and what needs to be offloaded at this stage of the journey? There’s also time to rest, sleep and dream. Mercury is skilled at relaying the solution to a personal problem through subliminal communication. The trick is to bring the logistical solution from slumber into the daytime. Allow for illusions or obfuscation to settle. Then proceed when the coast is clear. The world deserves your confessional poetry and first-person essays. If nothing else, it’s cathartic. [Sagittarius glyph] []Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising Sometimes, we keep secrets even from ourselves. When Mercury enters Scorpio, turn the flashlight of understanding to the long harbored narratives. Which ones are ready to be plucked, interrogated, or questioned? Do this in a sacred space: a studio, hammock, the raised walkway over the sandy marsh. November 10th is a juncture where you’ll summon your reserves to persevere in the face of sorrow or melancholy. Wading through these sleeping creatures is brave work even if others don’t see it. Take the sting out of shame by writing a letter forgiving yourself. You are always learning about yourself. Even when you are still and silent. The lights may flicker, but navigating the maze of your mystique is a power you have now. [Capricorn glyph] []Capricorn & Capricorn Rising When Mercury slips into Scorpio on November 5th, you approach group chats and affinity forums like a detective trying to root out the who-done-it. Observe and take notes. Watching folks stir in scandal or spill their own, hot tea is good guidance on when and what to disclose. Yet there are some serpents we’d rather not charm in a room of friends: gossip being the most venomous. On November 10th, prepare for squabbles among your groups to simmer at high. You may have a “you too, Brutus?” moment where an ally exposes themselves as operating at odds all along. Trust your astute observations. Let the right ones in. If anything, what initially feels like espionage delivers pointers on how to vet your inner circle. What’s left are the core folks who love, respect, and support you through and through. [Aquarius glyph] []Aquarius & Aquarius Rising On November 5th, Mercury enters Scorpio to survey the waters of your public and professional roles. Lead on projects that require defensive maneuvers and the rest of the team will gladly follow. Your sonar relays trustworthy data on potential pitfalls to get a launch out into the world. On November 10th, plan to adjust your plan. You're set on having it your way but there’s an obstacle that can’t be pummeled through. This mission requires sleight of hand, schemes and the patience of a PI. Allow inspiration to guide your ‘allstaff’ emails and presentations. Feel into the ways in which you can communicate to the team. The answer is to go with your gut. This quiet way of knowing is so often devalued in our modern workforce. Yet, it’s this silent cunning that gets you to the finish line. [Pisces glyph] []Pisces & Pisces Rising On November 5th, Mercury enters Scorpio and you’ve got your seance toolkit ready to go. As you summon spirits, you may also dive into the gulf of taboos that surround our belief and wisdom traditions in general. What’s deemed superstitious versus acceptable when searching for a connection to the divine? Even if you end up shunning the orthodoxy, you’ll still retain your scrying tools to consult the oracle. On November 10th, grab a headlamp and hole up in your occult library of choice. The quiet current of skepticism has brought you to these tomes. It’s messy work, but tracing the threads that tether you to a grander philosophy, tradition, or well of knowledge transforms you in the process. Like an old log on the forest floor, everything has an underworld. The intricate decomposition reveals its wisdom to those willing to investigate it.
