Just behind the Sun right now is Mercury, marking the final degree of Libra before slipping into Scorpio later today. Mercury in Libra has been an exercise in tact, choosing our words with grace, and smoothing things over with the right words.
Once Mercury reaches Scorpio, we’ll be trading civility for uncomfortable truths. If Mercury is language, communication, and thinking then Scorpio is raw and psychologically direct, touching on themes of taboo, secrets, and confession. It’s a pairing that has a habit of saying what no one else wants to say or discuss — especially since Mars in Capricorn is still dancing around Pluto and coming up to a square to Uranus.
So if there’s something you’ve been meaning to say, don’t be surprised if communication has an edge to it this week.
