From October 6th to October 29th, Mercury moves through Scorpio. In this fixed water sign, the messenger planet teaches us that communication isn’t just about getting your point across; it’s about diving deeper into your experiences, tackling tough topics, and revealing your realest, rawest emotions. Now’s the time to say what you mean and mean what you say, without softening your sharp edges just to be “nice.” This kind of vulnerability takes courage, and it’s not always easy. But the scorpion of the zodiac isn’t afraid of a challenge. It has the grit, focus, and commitment to confront a tricky conversation, even if it gets a little uncomfortable.
Over the coming weeks, you’ve got extra motivation to air all your feelings — including the ones that seem “too intense” to mention in polite company. If you get an urge to share the thoughts you typically keep to yourself, go for it. Mercury in Scorpio knows that achieving any worthwhile goal requires facing your fears and daring to be honest. You may not get the response you hoped for, but you’re likely to build a meaningful, lasting connection in the process. Let this transit remind you that expressing what you want is worth the risk.

Dare to “go there” with your collaborators.
You won’t get far if you’re not direct with the people who share time, money, and other resources with you. So over the next few weeks, experiment with being more upfront in your communication. Even if it’s a little sharp around the edges. Even if it takes a turn toward a tricky conversation about trust and fairness.
If you feel afraid of being honest in these exchanges, take this as a strong hint that it’s a good moment to rip off the Band-Aid. Comfortable? Maybe not. But it’s worth the risk.
If you want strong relationships, you’ve got to build trust. How to do that? For starters, communicate honestly and directly.
The next few weeks are a good time to lower your guard and ditch any defenses you may be hiding behind in your closest bonds. When you dare to share how you feel, even when it’s scary, you allow people to witness you and love you for who you really are — not just a buttoned-up version of yourself.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease — and right now, you’re that wheel. If you want more support in your daily grind, you’ve got to be honest about what you need. This isn’t the time for social niceties, but that doesn’t mean you should be rude. It means you’d benefit from cutting straight to the point of what is or isn’t working for you.
Over the next few weeks, skip the B.S. and express the hard thing. Yes, that might mean being vulnerable, which could feel like the hardest thing of all. But once you dare to ask for help, you’ll discover that you’re braver than you think.
If you’re waiting for fun to find you, you’ll be waiting a long time. Over the coming weeks, talking about what brings you joy is key, but don’t just stop there. Draft a plan and follow through on your ideas.
While you’re at it, be honest about the parts of you that feel uneasy about seeking pleasure or expressing your creativity. Think about all the moments when you’ve talked yourself out of doing whatever delights you. Peel away the layers and face your fears. If you want to tell a new story, you have to rewrite the old one that’s still holding you back.
Stop waiting for your home life to become a fairy tale. Feeling rooted isn’t a thing that magically happens on its own. And the next few weeks are your invitation to bust this fantasy bubble.
Get together with your chosen family or the people you live with. Talk about the myths you’re ready to ditch. Express what’s on your mind, even if it's scary. This is how you create a deeper sense of belonging — and how you strengthen the foundations of the life you’ve built for yourself.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. The next few weeks are an invitation to risk some real vulnerability and be more upfront in your everyday conversations and communication projects. Yes, this could mean simply venting in your own private journal, as long as you’re being honest with yourself.
Language is a tool, and right now it has an extra sharp impact. Use it wisely.
It’s not enough to think about your resources. If you want to put them to good use, you’ve got to take action.
The next few weeks are an invitation to get precise and intentional about how you work with your finances. Express your goals as boldly as possible, and let your thinking get a little sharper around the edges. If this kind of honesty scares you, that’s okay. Try it anyway. Don’t wait for others’ permission to go after what you want.
Quit holding your cards so close to your chest. Over the next few weeks, share your most personal thoughts more openly and directly. Take the risk of admitting when you feel afraid, unsure, or vulnerable.
You may have come to rely on your cool, calm, and collected demeanor — but at what cost? You don’t need to spill your secrets to everyone. But you should challenge the idea that expressing yourself makes you weak. More often than not, it gives you the upper hand.
It’s not a bad thing to feel like certain parts of yourself are still mysterious. The next few weeks are your invitation to explore this unfamiliar territory.
Your nightly dreams, what you write in your private journal when you lower your defenses, how you talk to yourself when no one else is around — these are all powerful sources of info right now. Being honest with yourself can be scary, but that’s how you come to understand every side of you.
Don’t expect your friends to read your mind.
Over the next few weeks, be honest about the moments when you keep your thoughts to yourself in your social world. Dare to be upfront, without worrying about how anyone else reacts. If you’re scared to dig beneath the usual surface-level chitchat, that’s okay. Try it out anyway and discover where you can go with the people you trust.
Share your boldest thoughts with your audience. The world needs all your ideas — not just a neat, tidy TL;DR summary.
Over the next few weeks, pay attention to the moments when you hold yourself back in public. If your message isn’t fully formed or perfectly brilliant, who cares? Express it anyway. Your point of view is sharp, alive, and one of a kind. Dare to show it off.
Don’t just talk about it — do it. The next few weeks are an opportunity to get specific about the dreams you want to chase. Just know that it could also include tough conversations or admitting that a path you thought was for you no longer feels right.
Use this time to draft plans that genuinely excite you and clarify the long-term goals you’re willing to put hours and effort into. Tip: Don’t shy away from routes that require you to release control. Face your fears. Then go after what you want.
