The double retrograde in Scorpio commences on October 24, when Mercury rotates its wings in a backward motion. We've been in Venus’s backstroke in Scorpio since October 3, which explains the pause, tantrums, and shadiness we've heard around our world. With these two planets gliding backward in Scorpio, we are going to be experiencing deep emotions and erratic reactions to situations that appear out of the blue.
The immensity of the intensity is here since the Sun is in Scorpio, giving an all-or-nothing attitude while sharpening its stingers. Venus retrograde moves back into Libra on October 25. However, it will still be in the Via Combusta degrees (15 degrees of Libra to 15 degrees of Scorpio, except for 23 degrees Libra, which is fortunate); the two entities are in for the whole duration.
This means the energy is phonetic and too hot to touch; therefore, we should stay in our lanes and not swerve into other people's problems, regardless of how strong the temptation is. Previously, Venus retrograde in Scorpio squared Mars in Leo on October 10, urging us to declare our brooding sentiments. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio and Mars in Leo share the same aspect on October 30, instigating arguments.
In both cases, we can't let go and cower in fear. In fact, the desire to fight back and argue our thoughts consumes our minds and hearts. Statements that we say are meaningless, yet mean.
The impulsivity of having the last word compels us to behave in ways we are not proud of. Believe it or not, the impending astrological forecast is not total doom. Venus cazimi occurs on October 23, and Mercury cazimi initiates on November 4, when the Sun highlights the beautiful qualities of these planets.
Venus teaches us lessons in love and money, as Mercury clears up miscommunications and technological hurdles. The two planets will work in harmony—if only for that one day—inspiring us to prepare for what's on the horizon. Mercury and Venus begin to move forward on November 13, when their reversals cease.
