Mercury retrograde in Scorpio begins October 24, 2026

Mercury retrograde astrology Scorpio Venus retrograde horoscope

Mercury will enter retrograde motion in the sign of Scorpio from October 24 to November 13, 2026. This celestial event, which occurs three times annually, is expected to impact communication, technology, travel, and decision-making.

Because the retrograde occurs within Scorpio, astrologers suggest the period will focus on deep emotional truths, privacy, and shared resources. The cycle is further intensified by the simultaneous retrograde of Venus in Scorpio. This dual retrograde may bring unresolved issues from the past to the surface, particularly regarding relationships, finances, and personal values.

Commonly associated effects of this period include technological glitches, communication misunderstandings, and travel delays. Experts advise completing important contracts, backing up digital data, and verifying travel details before the retrograde begins. The shadow periods for this cycle are noted to extend from early October through late November.
