Overview
If there's one word to describe this week it's "powerful". Mercury joins Venus retrograde and Mars in Scorpio on October 20th. The Sun moves into Scorpio on October 23rd. This is a huge amount of focus on an already intense sign. The upside is the potential for complete transformation and empowerment. The downside is power plays and manipulation.
