Scorpio Weekly: Your Season Opens as Mercury Slows and Venus Steps Out

The Sun enters Scorpio on October 23, and you spend most of this week in the last degrees of your solar year before that handover. Use the first days to close loose ends quietly. The Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces on October 22, which softens the ground under you and suits private reflection over public moves. Once the Sun crosses into your sign, the tone shifts. You are the one setting terms now.

Mercury is at 19 degrees of Scorpio as the week opens, and it stations retrograde on October 24 at about 20 degrees. You have two planets in your sign, and one of them turns backward. Expect conversations you thought were finished to reopen. Old messages resurface. Read the fine print twice before you sign anything. Venus is also in Scorpio at the start of the week, retrograde, and it leaves for Libra on October 25. That exit matters for love: the intensity you have been carrying in your own sign hands off to a softer, more relational register. If a partnership conversation has felt stuck, the ground shifts as Venus changes signs. Say the honest thing before the weekend, while the words still carry weight.

Mars, your ruler, is in Leo at 12 degrees, moving direct through your career zone. That is steady fuel. Push on the project that needs visible leadership, and let the Mercury station slow your paperwork rather than your ambition. Saturn is retrograde in Aries and Uranus is retrograde in Gemini, so the background noise in your work life is about revision, not new starts. Fix what is already in motion.

The reminder for the week: Mercury turning retrograde in your sign is a signal to review, not to announce. Keep your plans close until the station passes.
