O universe will test three zodiac signs with two retrograde planets in October 2016. Both Venus and Mercury will be back in Scorpio this month.
The frustrations these natives will pass back to memory in October 2018, the last time Venus retrograde happened in this sign of the zodiac, as shown by the predictions of Your Tango.
1. Scorpion (October 23 and November 21)
With the two retrograde planets happening in its sign, it will pass through an “emotional wearout if not careful”, says the astrologer Ina Rose.
This means that “past relationships, unresolved sorrows and toxic dynamics of old relationships are being brought back to your life.”.
Those exes you thought had stayed in the past? Either he'll contact you or he'll catch up remembering moments you spent together.
“It will not be just nostalgia. During these retrograde periods he will be forced to revive his past.”.
That's why it's important to keep guard. Remember, there's a reason you said goodbye.
2. Bull (21 April and 20 May)
With this double retrograde movement that will take place in Scorpio you are about to feel the warmth of the universe.
According to Rose, “this double retrograde movement will reach its seventh home, that of partnerships”.
Mercury, the planet that governs communication, is also retrograde in Scorpio. As Scorpio always goes to the bottom of things, sometimes, no matter how intense conversations get, he can prepare for an intense journey.
From autumn on, some misunderstandings and discussions that I thought were resolved will haunt you again. They are “hidden feelings”. Those “things I thought were buried”.
Prepare yourself mentally. Life is testing your patience once again. The good news is, this is the last time you're gonna have to talk about these things.
3. Twins (21 May and 20 June)
“Venus and Mercury retrograde in the sign of Scorpio is a nightmare for their peace of mind,” notes Rose.
It will be tested with contradictory signs and misunderstandings will become commonplace. “You will think too much, obsessively analyze your partner’s messages, as well as his tone of voice.”.
Try to find ways to focus. It may be a nightmare now, but if you control your emotions, it will be easier during this retrograde period.
