Mercury initially entered his shadow on October 14 (seems like aeons back, I understand). With this retrograde in Scorpio, we knew we d uncover ghosts, shadows, and the workings of our mental conditioning. From November 20 up until today, we were in the post-retrograde shadow. This retrograde and subsequent shadow period was challenging for most of us. As we begin to work with the Scorpio aspects of our lives in new ways, we discover the alchemy that exists when discomfort ends up being power.
People, gals, people, canines, cats, horses, raccoons, anybody who cares … ITS OVER!!! Mercury leaves his shadow today and we FINALLY get the relief weve been seeking. Lets wrap up so were ready to move on proficiently.

Mercury first entered his shadow on October 14 (looks like aeons back, I know). From that day until Halloween, we were working on the very first act of the story. It was the set up for all that we were going to deal with. With this retrograde in Scorpio, we understood we d discover ghosts, shadows, and the functions of our psychological conditioning. What came up for you throughout that time?

Next, we had the actual retrograde. From October 31 to November 20, we reviewed our Scorpionic themes and saw them from a broader perspective. We told our exes that we were better off without them, or we comprehended why they were a part of our lives to start with.

From November 20 till today, we were in the post-retrograde shadow. This was the final act, the resolution. What did you make with all you discovered? How did you process it? How did you manage the anger that came up? The aggravation? The pain? The awareness?

This retrograde was suggested to be a cleaning for the new cycle we are getting in next year. The internal ugliness of this retrograde existed so you could bring it up to launch.

The “all-clear” also took place on a void moon in Aries that went space off a square to Pluto (Scorpios ruler). We are suggested to acknowledge the power that exists in our darkness, both how its regulated us, and how facing it changes us. This retrograde and subsequent shadow period was tough for most of us. But as we begin to deal with the Scorpio elements of our lives in new methods, we discover the alchemy that exists when pain becomes power.
