Mercury enters Scorpio

Mercury crosses into Scorpio on 30 September 2026 at 11:40 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Mercury in Scorpio operates through water means and at a fixed tempo. Mercury moves quickly and changes how conversation, negotiation and thinking are conducted.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, so for as long as Mercury is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
