Mercury in Scorpio- The Darkest of the Dark Comes to Light, Transformation of the Mind, Masks Off; The Truth Always Wins ~ October 3, 2019


Editor’s Note: Oh, yes…Mercury in Scorpio is when that which is dark within you must be owned! Once your dark is owned, only then can you own your own light. But really…what does this mean?

Once you dive deep within yourself, you will come into contact with the deep personal traits you do not like. Me? I used to be into “control” as in I always felt my way was the best. Your way was ok, but my way was better. Your dark issues are out there, it’s time to “own” these.

As you contemplate your dark side, breath deeply and simply “let go” of your dark issues.When I say “let go”, I mean release your control, or fear, or greed, or whatever in to the Universe with the conscious realization of that dark trait being…gone! If you wonder if this will work, or doubt…it will not. That is a sign of how deep into yourself you must go.

Don’t worry, when you are honest enough with yourself, or desperate enough…then the time is right to let your dark “go”. In the meantime, be easy and happy with yourself, this release will indeed come when you are ready. Until then, laugh and BE…

InJoy!

On October 3rd, Mercury, the planet of: the mind, communication and contracts moves from the airy sign of Libra into the watery sign of Scorpio. Scorpio, the 8th sign of the zodiac is: powerful, trans formative, all knowing, deep, mysterious, and dark. This transit of Mercury into the dark realms of the sign of the Scorpion is significant as this is where the planet of the mind will go retrograde from October 31st- November 20th. Instead of spending his normal amount of time of 3 weeks in the sign, he will spend over 2 months transiting the deepest sign of the zodiac. Hold on; its going to be a hell of a ride.

Mercury in Scorpio will bring to light the deepest, darkest sides of: people, situations and relationships. No more hiding out with this energy present. There is no sign that can detect and investigate quite like the Scorpio. Hidden motives and objectives have no chance of surviving under this potent energy. If there have been mysteries that have yet to make themselves known, but you can just FEEL, something is below the surface, this transit is going to drudge it ALL up. Scorpio energy is intense but very black and white. What you see is what you get with this powerful sign. Others are often intimidated by this sign’s presence. What others don’t know is the Scorpion has gone to hell and back to discover such powerful and prophetic truths. Most folks don’t want to acknowledge their darkness; so they often label Scorpio energy as ” naughty” or ” difficult”.

While Scorpio does have its moments( like we all do), there is a realness and depth of authentic power that this sign will bring to mental Mercury. This is an excellent transit (before the retrograde from Oct 31-Nov 20) to merge and team up with another. Scorpio energy deals with shared resources and many abundant opportunities could manifest themselves in this transit. Just make sure to seek out individuals that are “in it to win it” and not just “in it to kick it”. Control and manipulation could also be factors that make themselves very clearly shown. Remember to protect your energy as the darkness is seeking out the light. In true Scorpio fashion, if you feel these darker forces upon you, the best thing to do is to send a prayer and exit stage left. Conversations that are meaningful and of substance rule the 8th house domain. Any superficial BS will be brought forth; so consider your motives before you open up and reveal your plans.

Mercury in Scorpio is here to bring the skeletons up to the surface; and major shocking truths will be revealed. You can’t pretend with this energy; so don’t even try. There is a rawness and magnetism to Mercury being in the sign of the underworld. Mercury in Scorpio doesn’t have time for games or phony mind trips. You better come correct with this potent sign or just stay put. The planet of the mind in the seductive sign of Scorpio could also produce some steamy and intimate conversations as well. There is nothing sexier then someone’s realness and authenticity being brought forth. If you have been confused about a person or situation; this energy will clear the air. Plunging to the depths to get to the whole truth and nothing but the truth is the vibe of this powerful Mercury transit.

Mercury in Scorpio wants you to dive all in with your communication and not be afraid of going deeper then you have previously in the past. You cannot truly own your light until you truly own your darkness. Real shit. Mercury in Scorpio is here to bring: authentic and deep revelations, brutal and powerful truths and the ability to rise from the ashes; reborn and better then ever!

October 9th, 2018: Mercury in Libra Inconjunct Chiron ~ October, 9, 2018


By Nadia Gilchrist

  • Mercury in Libra inconjunct Chiron Rx in Pisces (29 deg)

Mercury’s inconjunct, before it plunges into Scorpio this evening, suggests an awkward conversation or observation. The social facade will be disrupted  – attempts to gloss over Chiron’s pain, embarrassment or discomfort will miss the point. This is not something you should avoid.

Mercury in Libra does demand some social finesse; you can still be gracious. But there’s no use pretending that everything’s ok, because your attention has just been drawn to a repeat (Rx) wound.

And how fortuitous that Mercury will be entering the sign of darkness and profound honesty after this aspect. This does suggest that Chiron’s wound is only the tip of the iceberg. As you move forward you’ll see and hear much more. Use this moment to recognize what’s wrong, then be prepared to go deeper (investigate or do some intense inner work).
