Mercury Is Our Scout - Oct 24 - Dec 13

We learn the most about an outer planet in a sign when an inner planet makes an aspect with it.   It is almost as if that inner planet says, “Hey, everybody, I’ll take a hit for the team.  I’ll and go get into it with the outer planet and we'll see what it is about in this sign.”   

 

Such is the case with Mercury who is interacting with the outer planets for the next two months. 

Mercury is in Scorpio which means he is talking to Jupiter in Cancer then Saturn and Neptune in Pisces.   Then when Mercury goes into Sagittarius he talks to Uranus and Pluto.    But that is not all.     When Mercury retrogrades (Nov 9), he talks to all those planets again and then when he stations direct, he talks to them for a third time.   He is our best scout between October 24 December 13.    We are going to get a ton of information about all these planets from busy body Mercury.      I consider this upcoming Mercury retrograde a gift of information that will help us down the road.
