Mercury retrograde from Oct. 24 to Nov. 13: What it means for your sign
Are you ready for the third Mercury retrograde of the year?
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio on Oct. 24. With it are "unfinished conversations, unresolved issues, and matters that may have been kept hidden," according to professional astrologer Monica Morales of OM.MNL.
You might also be forgetting that Venus is also in retrograde and will return to Libra on Oct. 25, "putting relationships, money, and personal priorities under further scrutiny."
"Both planets turn direct on Nov. 13-14, making this a period for reconsidering decisions before moving forward," the astrology expert told PhilSTAR L!fe.
Wondering how this astrological period will affect your zodiac sign? Check out your horoscope below. As Morales advised, it's best to read your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs for added context, particularly your Rising sign for the house-based themes of these forecasts.
