Early Sunday morning, communication planet Mercury enters Scorpio. On Monday, the sun follows. With both these planets in the most brooding, provocative sign of the zodiac, you can expect the intensity to ramp up. Conversations will be more intimate and searching; passions will run hotter. Where you might previously have been satisfied with chit-chat or easy answers, Scorpio season is the time to delve deep. Then on Saturday, the lunar eclipse in Taurus closes out the cycle that began with the Libra solar eclipse on the 14th. This one will clarify a shift in your values. It may illuminate the distance between your actions and your principles, but it’ll also show you how you might close that gap to move forward with fresh purpose.
