The Moon’s in busy Gemini, a sign that gives us a need for ideas and information, options and choices. With Mercury Retrograde, there’s not only a sharp focus to our experiences today, but a need to dig, uncover, and reveal anything that is hidden.
Every three months, Mercury turns retrograde, a period that invites us to slow down, reflect, and to make sure we are listening to our intuition. A retrograde is a yin phase, a counter to yang energy of a planet’s direct movements. Yin energy is the feminine, the dark of night, and the need to rest.
Additionally, Gemini is Scorpio’s 8th sign and Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac. While this may be some mental gymnastics, it reminds us that Gemini and Scorpio have more in common than we first realize. Gemini reflects Scorpio’s natural duality of light and dark and the need to be conscious of which side we are nourishing within ourselves and our lives.
Conversations may be powerful. Use this day to go inward, to search the hidden spaces within, and have the courage to be vulnerable.
Note that Mercury will turn direct on November 13 at 5 Scorpio.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for October 30, 2026.
