Mercury will be stationing retrograde from October 3rd to October 25th in Scorpio. A reflective opportunity to look back and gain insights that will allow us the ability to see things from a different angle.
We turn to a true expert in Mercury Retrograde, the always visionary Robert Wilkinson, from his Aquarius Papers to gain insights as to what this retrograde might bring. Professor Wilkinson says:
“Yes, it’s THAT time again! Mercury is radically slowing down, preparing to go stationary retrograde at 3 Scorpio on Oct 3, 10:02 am PDT, 1:02 pm EDT, 6:02 pm Greenwich (BST). This has important implications for all signs…”
“Until then, adapt to the slowing pace of things, be willing to put some things on hold for a little while, and take a look at what’s been set into motion up to now with an eye to seeing what has to be done before things can again move forward in late October.
“I know there are many unfortunate things attributed to Mercury retrograde, but there are also many productive things that get done, connections that are made, and different angles of view glimpsed that make our understanding more complete and well rounded…”
“The coming retrograde will be an extremely important one showing us how to feel a deeper connection with others, learn cooperation, and give us one look back so we can get clear about how to use the wisdom of our 2011-2012 experience to a) repair something, b) reconstruct something to get a different view of what happened and why, and/or c) find peace in having overcome old dramas we no longer need to be involved in.
“We can get a new look at recent balance or imbalances in our relationships, and receive blessings from Spirit once we’re willing to ‘let go, let God,’ especially if it involves old resentments and unnecessary limitations.
“We can get new insights into old feelings, desires, losses, legacies, and prior unfair situations in self and others. Some will get flashes into old conflicts in desires, or cross currents between our magnetism and others’ magnetism. This will lead to new perspectives over the next several weeks…”
“As Mercury goes retrograde in the Water sign of Scorpio, pay attention to reflections, returns, and new insights into the emotional intelligence that you’ve been cultivating since June 2013. This is the second review in 2014 of the Feeling-awareness we all experienced from the time of the Grand Water Trines of June, July, and August 2013 through this past Spring. This can give us a new perspective on what’s shifted since then, and will show us how to be more cooperative in our social interactions.”
“…Consider the next 3 weeks as a bridge between old experiences where some hard dues were paid, and new ways to live in relationship with others. This time will bring interesting insights through looking back or within about prior relationships, shared values, or why we had to leave certain people behind.
“Pay attention to the signs, signals, information, and understanding that come through your feelings and introspection, since seeing how things have changed the past few months will bring clarity about the new cycle in play since July.”
“…For all of us, during the next several weeks the future that’s already rolling forward will slow a little so we can get a new look at crucial elements of the process we cannot afford to ignore. We will all have opportunities to take a new look and find a new way to apply our emotional realizations we’ve had since Summer 2013.
“This period offers us excellent chances to rework how we interpret our desires, our sense of relatedness, and what we like and what we don’t. It’s a great time to get a different view of how we attract what we need to thrive, and how our emotions and ideals relate to each other, and how these do or don’t fulfill what our subconscious minds desire.
“All of us will have a new understanding of what matters to us by late October, and will find peace in contemplating old struggles now in our rear view mirror.
“This will be another important retrograde, where the past will be reviewed to see what we can and cannot bring with us into the future in late October. It will help us rehearse or do the research we need to get ready to spring forward in mid-November, clear about what we know, what we need to know, who we need to get closer to, and who we need to say goodbye to.
“Renewals, returns, reconnections, reunions, and rebeginnings are promised by this retrograde.”

I am so in need of a renewal and reconnection to my former lover- a year and half later and the book still isn’t closed. Hopefully this will reopen in a positive way. Peace and love from this pisces in these tense merc times
Explains all my work with the Sacral Chakra as of late… opening up to connect.. thank you love!
Most sites are saying it retrogrades on the 4th not the 3rd but we are already long in pre-shadow.
Without the shadow we could not survive but it comes a time to say thank you, let go and say good bye. All is good and in divine right order. Love always prevails.
So perfect as Always thank you mm for insights ! Makes me feel all is okay !!
Thank you!
Thank you for this insight! Blessed be?
When I graduated high school in summer 2013, I experienced a very specific layout of consciousness and awareness expanding experiences. My creator who I call God has established some very key specific anchors in my life and it feels like God is speeding up the process of changes in everyone. The only inference I have made from all of this, is that he is constantly preparing us for the next situation and teaching, but if the rate at which that happens is being perceived to be going quicker, then I can only predict that everyone is going to experience some very new and intense changes in the near future. God is preparing us for something big, at least in my opinion and my intuition tells me that I must pay close attention to my higher awareness so that I can more clearly understand the coming changes and transitions. This has helped a lot and has given me a clue as to what may be the nature of the latest development in God’s plan. Thank you
My wife and I separated in July and I’m away on a solitary job for the next 3 weeks. Kind of spooky!!
Thank you so much for this. This is exactly what I need at this time. Thank you cosmic universe and thenk you to you Mystic Mamma for this beautiful posting.
Love and Light
It’s already ringing true.
I’ve been waiting so long for this chapter in my spiritual life. Thank you universe I believe on you xx
I used to read one horoscope and it was “for entertainment purposes only.” But eventually the information in that horoscope helped me through a very rough patch, so astrology got my attention. Mercury retrograde (which to me at the time was just two words) always came with a duck-and-cover warning. About a year ago, I went online with one thought: that there must be a way to benefit from a Mercury retrograde – how can I make a Mercury retrograde work for me. I not only discovered the benefit of Mercury retrograde, but a whole new world opened up. I started on a spiritual journey, including finding this site, that continues to expand my mind and enrich my life. The person I am now and the person I was a year ago – light years apart. I now see Mercury retrograde as a blessing, and a break to step back, breathe, reflect (emply all the “re-” words), and look at life with a fresh perspective. With gratitude.
Thank You for this Insight and Thank You Universe ! #As Above So Below
Thank you so much for this as it brings clarity into my relationship. So wonderful!
Retrograde, love it, “Save The Best for LSAT 48…!”
Retrograde, love it,
This is wonderful insight, and well-timed as always. Thank you so much for this post. I needed it. :)
Fascinating. I’m curious how you calculate the times. According to the latest JPL Horizons ephemeris, Mercury starts apparent retrograde motion nearly a day later than you suggest, after it reaches a peak apparent ecliptic longitude of 212.3124600 degrees on October 4th at 5:02 PM UTC (12:02 PDT, 15:02 EDT, 18:02 BST).
Also, 1:02 PM EDT would be 6:02 PM UTC (Greenwich / Universal time), but 7:02 BST since they’re on daylight savings in London.
I needed this. I’ve been slugging by the past few weeks, unable to do anything but sleep and reflect on past, painful relationships. I didn’t understand why this was all coming to the surface now (& why the tears were flowing!)– although I do know that I’m greatly affected by Mercury Retrograde (Gemini Sun, Scorpio Rising). It has been quite a journey, but now I’m able to put things in perspective and realize that the darkness has been a great blessing. For me, this means letting go of the past and welcoming a new chapter in regard to relationships. Bye, bye old patterns. Thanks for this post. :)
This is wonderful. I really have had an enlightening experience with this retrograde. It has impacted my life a lot. I’m now becoming content with old experiences of my LGBT youth. I’m learning to let things go and i am starting to realize the important things in my life.
