Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio: A Plot Twist Worth Paying Attention To

Mercury is everyone's BFF... until he turns retrograde, and suddenly he's the villain in your story.


Mercury has always had a way with words.


He rules our texts, emails, and late-night conversations, so he surely knows how to tell a good story šŸ˜‰.


He's a master of foreshadowing and unexpected plot twists, dropping little clues along the way. Just when you think you've figured it out, he turns the page.


As a writer, I can appreciate that.


Especially the foreshadowing. Those little details hiding in plain sight seem innocent enough until a few chapters later, when you realize they were trying to tell you something all along.


Mercury does this dance with foreshadowing three to four times a year, and his latest story started unfolding on October 4, when he slipped into his retrogradeĀ shadow in Scorpio. Whatever caught your eye since then is a clue.



The plot twistĀ arrives on October 24, when Mercury turns retrogradeĀ and starts retracing his steps. Until November 13, we'll have a chance to revisit the conversations, decisions, and circumstancesĀ that have been developing since early October. Some may look quite different the second time around.
