This week's astrology brings two major changes that you'll almost definitely notice. First, on Friday, Scorpio season begins and adds an air of mystery and intrigue to everything around you. Scorpio is the sign of transformation, and as a water sign, it's one of the most intuitive and perceptive of the zodiac.
Everyone will get a little bit of extra Scorpio energy right now, but Scorpio placements, and fellow water signs Cancer and Pisces, will feel it more than most. Then, on Saturday, the third and final Mercury Retrograde of the year begins. And this time, it's in Scorpio.
When Mercury moves backwards in its orbit from our POV here on Earth, everything the planet rules—communication, travel, and technology—has a tendency to get a little wonky. If you can, add some extra time and caution to your routine both today and for the next few weeks, until Mercury Retrograde ends on November 13. Make sure you're sending that risky text to the right person, you give yourself extra time to navigate in traffic jams or public transit delays, and avoid signing contracts if you can. (And if you can't, take some extra time to read the fine print closely.) Read your Sun/Rising sign horoscope for the week of October 18: You can change, Aries.
When Scorpio season begins on Friday, the Sun shines on your chart's section of transformation, encouraging you to become your best self. But just one day later, Mercury Retrograde begins in the same part of your chart, reminding you that the path to personal growth can be bumpy. Let your intuition guide you through the retrograde's challenges.
On Friday, Scorpio season begins in your chart's relationships zone. Throughout the upcoming month, you're getting even closer to your "other half," whether that's a romantic partner, best friend, or creative collaborator. But with Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio beginning on Saturday, miscommunications are also likely to pop up.
Try to keep a level head and talk it through calmly to get on the same page. Every day is all there is, Gemini. Scorpio season begins on Friday and reminds you that every significant change starts with a small step.
