It might not sound like the most fun thing to do with your time, but now is a time to face your inner demons and get them under control. Therapy for an issue from your past can go deeper now. Looking within rather than at the world around you is likely to be more productive.
More than any other sign, Scorpio likes to dig under the surface of things to see what’s being glossed over or whitewashed. If there are secrets in your life, Mercury retrograde can work to shine a light on them. This may sound terrible, but it can actually be healing. That secret you’ve been trying to keep may not the big deal you once thought it was.
There’s also a financial aspect here. It’s the ideal time to renegotiate a financial partnership and/or pay off debts. Financial assets you’ve forgotten about or not even considered can resurface now. Something that seemed old and worn out, whether a friendship or a piece of clothing, can be transformed with very little effort.
Mercury in Scorpio is also a good time to work through a fear that has been holding you back. Doing that alone could change your life.
It sounds OK in your head but saying mean or harsh words aloud can make you appear less than rational at this time. Perhaps it’s because you feel more suspicious and insecure than usual. If so, now is the time to deal with those emotions. Talk to someone (preferably a professional) about where they came from.
Dishonesty of any kind is likely to come back to bite you when Mercury goes to and fro in Scorpio. Try to be honest with yourself and others while still being kind.
Try to avoid negative thinking, especially the impulse to lash out at someone before they can attack you. There are much better times to have a debate, so it makes sense to avoid contentious subjects at this time. That said, now is a good time for a deep and meaningful conversation you should have had earlier, if you can keep the conversation nice!
It’s important at this time to be aware of the concept of sharing and all that it entails.
