"Now it returns to observe and experience what's there from a different vantage. Mercury rules how we process reality and make meaning within the world. Retrogrades are a reorientation of perspective. Under the influence of Sagittarius, we review the belief systems that exist within us. Under Scorpio, we review the unconscious material that propels us to have these belief systems. Sagittarius is vast heights, Scorpio is profound depths."
"Scorpio reminds us that there is more to how we see this world, and therefore how we interact with this world, than what we are aware of. There are unconscious patterns and stories shaping things from beneath the surface. There are memories and emotions coloring the lens through which we look. There are ways that we are in opposition, battle, or competition that exist within ourselves. This retrograde invites us to look at these. Not to dismiss, belittle, or demonize them."
The week centers on inward focus as Mercury retrograde re-enters Scorpio and a Scorpio new Moon arrives. Mercury retrograde prompts reevaluation of how meaning and beliefs form. Under Sagittarius the review targets broad belief systems; under Scorpio the review probes unconscious material that underlies those beliefs. Scorpio energy emphasizes hidden patterns, memories, emotions, and internal conflicts that shape perception and behavior. The retrograde encourages observing these dynamics without judgment or demonization. By week's end, the Sun's entry into Sagittarius and subsequent lunar shifts move energy toward revelation, expansion, and forward momentum.
