Mercury Conjunct Retrograde Venus...

starts on October 25 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on October 26 at 12.17am in Kilmore, leaves on October 26.  Both at 7 degrees and 36 minutes of Scorpio.

Smooth talker!  That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Mercury and Venus together like this.  Mercury, the planet of communication and connection and also our thinking and attitudes in general connecting with Venus, the planet associated with pleasure, ease and enjoyment bodes well for good news and and positive developments.

The connection through a conjunction suggests something or someone new coming into our lives, depending on which house the conjunction is falling in and which houses are ruled by the two planets involved (Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Venus rules Taurus and Libra).

If you have personal planets and/or points in Scorpio, then you are likely to feel this energy more strongly than others.
