Today Mercury goes retrograde and for next 22 days, and he has a lot to teach us. Mercury will begin its retrograde in Scorpio, a sign that rules our shadows and everything buried beneath the surface, including your secrets. Mercury Retrograde is a time where hidden thoughts can resurface. You may even find people or situations from our past creeping back in, in order to be dealt with once and for all.
