You may need to draw on your patience reserves for the first half of the month. With Mercury in Retrograde, you can bet that even the most organized of plans could end up in disarray. Communication is the prime target. Be careful with numbers. Addresses. Phone numbers. Checks. It only takes one wrong digit to cause confusion and delay. Be especially cognizant of transposing numbers. Always read back information when writing it down. After the 12th (with the 12th being the most problematic), Mercury goes direct again and brings communication back with it. Lucky for you. Co-workers and supervisors will seek you out. Your opinions are valued. You will be called on to stand behind your ideas. Sell them to the naysayers. Of course, you have nothing to fret about. Your skills at communicating will be extra-sharp this month. An awkward situation with a friend is imminent. You may make a discovery about this person that makes you most uncomfortable. Perhaps you will stumble upon evidence of an extra marital affair, an illegal habit, or a whopping lie that he or she has told. I advise you to confront your friend directly. Hold him or her fully accountable. If the response is poor, then take your distance. He or she may come around later and thank you for holding them to your own high standards. It's all too easy to act as an enabler in these situations. But Scorpios brook no halfway measures. True respect is earned from dealing directly with the issue. The old saying “lucky in love” applies to Scorpios this month. An unexpected yet delightful surprise, possibly in the form of a long lost lover, could appear out of nowhere around the 19th. If at all possible, sneak away from work for an extra long weekend. You will want to take full advantage of the sizzling compatibility. Maximize your energy levels and eat according to the change in seasons. If you live in the northern hemisphere, include more soups and stews in your diet. If you reside in the south, eat more fresh cleansing greens, such as dandelion and kale. With your body more in tune to natural rhythms, your mind functions at its peak performance level. |
