Mercury goes retrograde today. Put down the pitchfork.

Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio today and runs backward until mid-November. Before the group chat blames it for every dropped call, here's what I actually do with these three weeks:

Back up your phone. (You should anyway. Mercury is just the reminder.) Re-read texts before sending, especially anything written after 11pm. Lean into the re- words: review, revise, reconnect. Old friends tend to resurface. Let them.

Bonus: Venus has been retrograde since early October, so it's a lovely season for an honest conversation and a terrible one for an impulse tattoo. Not that I'd know anything about that.
