Mercury went Retrograde in SCORPIO October 31st and onward we deepen into our spiraling transformations.
Scorpio brings her regenerating wisdom and calls us to journey deep within our heart cave as we re-align with new forms and emerging expressions our truest Self.
As we continue to shed our skin, we are gifted a “look back” to integrate what has been and what is coming to be.
We can awaken within the dream to glimpse the symbols and signs that are laden with meaning and speak to us from beyond the veil.
There is richness to be found in dark soil of our Being. Dig in and bless our hallowed ground.
Here is Mercury Retrograde expert ROBERT WILKINSON from his Aquarius Papers.com:
“As with all Mercury retrograde periods, this will give us a new look at recent signals and information that we sent or received, and things from the past will be reviewed, re-examined, reevaluated, or understood differently…
“We will all get ‘one last look back’ so we may find a different perspective on recent developments, as well as how long it will take us to accomplish some long term goals.
“This one will help us to a new understanding of stuck feelings, shared values, old deaths and losses, and lead us to a deeper connection with the integrative principle in Nature…
“Because of the ‘back to the future’ quality of Mercury retrograde, we may also get glimpses of how the last 3 months have given us a new look at our power of attraction and what we might find if we choose to leave parts of the past behind….
“We’ll certainly get a different look at how we have dealt with losses and death this past year.
“Many will get a new understanding of their lives wherever they have Scorpio in their charts, with maximum productivity in ‘shedding skins’ helping us get ready for the Great Compression beginning in December 2019 and lasting through April 2020.
“The Sabian Symbol for the 28th degree of Scorpio is ‘The king of the fairies approaching his domain.’
“In the original notes from the Marc Jones class on the symbols Dane Rudhyar published in The Astrology of Personality, he states this degree is about ‘necessary respect for symbolic values holding vital forces integrated’ and ‘Self-realization through devotion to the One.’
“In his masterwork The Astrological Mandala, Rudhyar offers this degree involves ‘the capacity in (us) to recognize and to pay homage to an integrating Principle at the core of all existence.’
“He states this symbol is related to ‘creatures of a spiritual world’ beyond the realm of the ego, showing our ‘intuitive consciousness’ something we should give allegiance to.
“These ‘entities are seen as multiple aspects of a central Power and Consciousness,’ representing life forms within the unity that humanity strives to experience…
“So the theme of this retrograde station is going inward and finding Oneness in Self-realization, and self-realization in Oneness.
“We now can begin to ‘sense a unifying factor’ in our lives and affairs which will ‘polarize our consciousness’ helping us feel whole and complete.
“We will have have opportunities to take a new look at whether we’re living our lives focused on the outer rather than the inner, and should see how our allegiances have been shaped in the past by our desires, as well as what we were denied.
“This retrograde will slow things down so we can take a new look at recent developments. This can help us find new approaches to recent issues related to Scorpio experiences.
“As with all Mercury retrogrades, some projects may have to be postponed, or a new way found to make something be more relevant to our current life.
“This can give us insights into why we need to get a new angle of seeing things, going inward rather than keep going in unfulfilling directions…
“It should be a great time to see things we didn’t understand before, or perhaps reclaim something from the past.
“Here we take a look back and reconsider or renew a feeling of connectedness with other people, the Earth, or even the universal Life Force…
“The Moon at 24 Sagittarius is on a degree of ‘A bluebird standing at the door of the house,’ indicating the focus of this retrograde is to cultivate happiness!
“Be true to yourself while experiencing your connection with others, especially your spiritual group. Welcome experience and the rewards it brings, or take a look back at those times you welcomed new experiences and received rewards!
“Be alert to the signs and signals life will send, and reap ‘good fortune’ by generating ‘radiant good will’ which finds recognition in the service you do.
“Remember, because of the RX quality, it may a) take a roundabout way to get there, b) require a delay before we understand what these things are about, or c) we’ll see how we’ve begun parts of our Scorpio training and preparation, and now have to connect the dots or renew something we neglected.”

CATHY PAGANO shares:
“As Fate would have it, Mercury is here to help.
“Our messenger/psychopomp is about to reverse direction on Halloween (11:42am EDT)…
“Mercury has spent this year, and will spend next year, retrograding in water signs.
“I guess the cosmos (the Mercury retrogrades and Cancer North Node) wants us to look at our emotions and heal them…
“Mercury can lead us to see how we choose to hold ourselves apart from intimacy, from sharing ourselves emotionally, from diving deeply into life.
“What’s holding us back? Fear of betrayal, fear of failure, fear of being unloved and unlovable? Terror at being dominated or worse? Fear of the unknown or the stranger? Fear of our desires and passions? Fear of the Dark?
“For these 3 weeks, from October 31st to November 20th, we can let Mercury lead us back to the source of our wounds, which will become the source of our healing.
“Take the time and meditate and/or journey with Mercury into the deep inner reservoir of your emotional body.
“Face your fears, release and thank your shadows, and embrace the joy of emotional freedom. Leave the trauma you learned with in the cauldron of regeneration and claim the gift of your initiation.
“Re-member, re-lease, re-deem, re-claim, re-new, re-dedicate, re-enchant and re-turn to your original state of blessing and wholeness.”

THIS.This is spot on with my senses and frame of mind right now. Just finished having a heavy session with my counselor in talking about my fear of failing and not being kind to myself. Thank you so much for this added clarity. Love and light!

Found this: A Compression in the Astro world is a period of ALL the planets being in a fairly narrow compressed zone.
Thank you for returning Mystic Mamma.

This is so right on, as always! I am a hospice nurse and I just lost my job unexpectedly on October 31 (Samhein/Halloween) and my birthday was the very next day. I am in a deep state of grief but somehow, everything is making sense in a new light. Let’s shed some skin and grow into something new and better!

Feeling this. <3 My husband and his brother got into a fight on nov 2. (I didn't even realize mercury was in retrograde. now it all makes sense.) It brought up a sensitive subject that we had be repressing and trying to forget about. Now all the wounds are reopened. I am feeling a little lost and unsure how to continue and grow from this. I'm scared of what I know we need to do to heal. Ive been putting it off for so long because of the fear of so many things. I'm even afraid this mercury retrograde is going to push me into it and I don't feel ready. "we can let Mercury lead up back to the source of our wounds, which will become the source of our healing." I'm trying to let go of the fear and give into the healing power of the retrograde. Thank you for the insights <3 I know it will help in the end.

So many ppl found themeselves in that spot in this day it is fascinating! I am a yoga teacher and kinda lost my job the same day and immediately I felt a deep relief and that this was to bring me face to face with a pattern and fears from my past and be free from them. I have many things to work and reflect and I feel that this brings me closer to my truth and what I want to share with the world.
I have a feeling of hardship, amazement and bliss at the same time… if this is even possible..

“So the theme of this retrograde station is going inward and finding Oneness in Self-realization, and self-realization in Oneness.”
I ask you as I have asked myself how do you know if what I have found is oneness ?
Is the feeling of being true to yourself enough ?
Is acting independent from outside influences enough ?
Is the feeling of being content assurance?

Scorpio rising here. Thank you for sharing these insights. Reflecting on what you wrote, I can only say this of Mercury retrograde in Scorpio: I did it my way; I took the high(it was awesome, producing great growth!) and the low (sometimes on the chin-dirty politics, those bastards!) that goes along with living an authentic life. I think LIVING(fully)is the key word here.

But then again, maybe it was T. Pluto sitting on my sun, with T.Saturn quickly approaching, that gave me the courage to do/say it.
