From fake blood stains (a dry-cleaning nightmare) to aggressive trick-or-treaters, Halloween can be a truly terrifying time. But this year, October 31 is going to be so much worse.
Joining forces with the spookiest day of the year is a fun little astrological event called Mercury Retrograde, and this month it’s in the house of Scorpio, AKA the Zodiac’s most… passionate intense of signs.
Needless to say, it’s going to be wild.
An almost scientific examination of what each star sign is like at work. Post continues below.
From October 31 to November 21, the powers of Mercury Retrograde will be felt in full force.
In astrology, Mercury represents communication and expression, and when the planet is in retrograde (AKA moving backwards), this cosmic action wreaks havoc by misconstruing messages, causing confusion, and creating general misinterpretation. It’s also a time when problems you thought you had dealt with, rear their ugly heads again.
Some astrologers, like Astrology Zone’s Susan Miller, tend to advise people to avoid signing contracts or investing in big technological purchases during this time.
