Mercury Retrograde Questions

Hi All

Just received this tweet:

What does MercuryRetrograde mean for a Scorpio? I need to figure this astrology stuff out! Plz post more blogs about astro stuff!

What seems like a simple question of course is not, because planetary activation in a personal chart depends on degrees.

But here is what we can say about it.

First Mercury went Retrograde on Wednesday the 6th at 10:01 pm PT, it Stationed in the sign of Gemini.

Gemini and Scorpio are 150 degrees apart creating what, in astrology we call an inconjunct. This is a stressful aspect.

So the basic answer to this question is: the individual may find themselves stressed over communication or contract from a neighbor, sibling or friend, that suddenly emerges out of the past. Something or someone they may have forgotten about or with whom they have lost contact.

Now this may also include issues of intimacy, or shared resources. That may translate into mortgage, insurance, taxes, reproduction, sex, or procreation issues, and sometimes may actually come through the veil, with issues from someone who has already left the planet.

Note I made the word basic bold, here is why.

The statements I have made above are truly basic. They have no direct relationship to the individual's specific chart which can place the planets in specific houses adding yet another set of pictures. And of course, we do not know the degrees of the individual's Sun, or other planets, so we do not have enough information to make a definitive statement.

Send me birth data, and I will continue the discussion. Then we can get down to the nitty gritty of the chart.

Thanks for the question,

Best always,

Michele
