ANDbetween 24 October and 13 November we entered the period of dreaded retrograde Mercury. Even before that, there are four signs that will receive a response from the Universe. It may be a decisive thing that they did not count on and the best thing is to be alert and to know some of the advice that are left.
The website Signo.net points out that Scorpio, Virgo, Bull and Aquarius are among the signs that will receive this message from the stars. Know what you can expect.
Signs. Who receives message from the universe before retrograde Mercury
Scorpion (October 23 to November 21)
“ Scorpion can receive exactly the information needed to make a decision. A situation that has been developed behind the scenes can be clearer, especially when it involves work, money or an important conversation. There is also the possibility that someone will finally reveal something that he has avoided saying. The answer may not be exactly what Scorpio imagined, but it can put an end to the uncertainty that consumes much energy. And knowing how things are can be more valuable than waiting.”
Virgin (August 23 to September 22)
“ Ruled by Mercury, the sign of Virgin tends to perceive changes related to this planet more easily. Before the start of the retrograde period, a pending subject may be referred to the next level. Documents, recruitment procedures, job vacancies or negotiations that seemed to have been forgotten may return. An unexpected message can also bring an opportunity that Virgin no longer expected to receive.”
Bull (21 April to 20 May)
“For Bull, the answer may be mainly related to money or relationships. An expected payment, a negotiation or even a proposal can finally show signs of progress. In love life, someone may decide to speak more clearly about their feelings or intentions. After a period of uncertainty, Bull can find out if a given situation really has a future. The news may require a quick decision, but this sign does not need to abandon its known cautious nature.”
Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)
“Aquarius may be surprised by an answer related to your professional life. A conversation with someone important, feedback about an opportunity or an unexpected invitation may change plans for the next few weeks. Something that seemed to be over could also go back to the table. For some Aquarius, the news may come through someone they have not spoken to in some time. The most important thing is not to immediately discard an opportunity simply because it came in a different way than expected.”
Retrograde Mercury back! The signs most affected and what to expect
The Pipolnews website reveals everything that will happen. Everything happens from October 24 to November 13. This is a period of retrograde Mercury that takes place in Scorpio. What's that gonna mean? “The absent sign, according to astrology, is the most intense of the year. Scorpio is the sign of the occult, of shared finances and of uncomfortable truths, and a retrograde Mercury in this sign is associated with secrets that arise, accounts to be reviewed and deep conversations that can no longer be postponed ", continue.
They also reveal who are the most affected signs and important advice. “The signs most affected are those of the fixed axis: Scorpion first, followed by Bull, Lion and Aquarius. Classic advice for this period: do not sign important contracts without reading them twice, back up, confirm reservations and tickets and use that review energy to resolve outstanding issues instead of opening new ones.”
This third cycle of retrograde Mercury also brings a set of dates worth retaining. This is the case with the 4th of October. “The pre-shadow phase is initiated. Mercury enters the degrees that later travels retrogradely. According to the astrological tradition, uncomfortable themes begin to emerge.”
Then, on October 24th, that's when it all starts. On November 13th, everything starts to go back to normal, but it's only a few days after we can say that retrograde Mercury ended in 2026. On November 30th the post-shadow phase ends and the cycle ends.”
