The double retrograde in Scorpio starts on October 24, and the Double Retrograde in Scorpio is Coming: How to Prepare for the Tempestuous Event focuses on how Venus and Mercury line up to deepen emotional reckonings.
Astrology outlets report that Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio on October 24, a timing that marks the point when Mercury appears to move backward against the zodiac and slows ordinary communications and plans. Teen Vogue’s writeup of the event frames October 24 as the day the double-retrograde configuration begins, with guidance for each Sun sign on how the transit might play out.
That Mercury station lands while Venus is already retrograde in Scorpio. A widely cited astrology forecast states that Venus went retrograde in Scorpio on October 3, so the two inner-planet retrogrades overlap in emotional, relationship-focused Scorpio and invite deeper reflection on money, intimacy and power dynamics.
Astrologers say a Venus retrograde often prompts re-evaluation of relationships, finances and values, while Mercury retrograde is traditionally associated with delays, miscommunications and review. The combination in Scorpio — a sign associated with intensity, secrets and transformation — is commonly described by practitioners as a period for revisiting unresolved emotional issues rather than pushing for fresh starts.
Practical preparation advised by astrology commentators includes backing up important digital files, pausing major purchases or contract signings if possible, and setting clearer boundaries in personal conversations. Teen Vogue’s coverage collected sign-based guidance and suggested using the period for review and repair rather than launching major new projects.
For readers who follow their monthly sky calendar, this double retrograde follows a month that already placed pressure on relationships and personal finances when Venus turned. Astrology writers note that the retrogrades’ overlap—Venus already moving backward when Mercury stations—raises the intensity of personal reckonings and makes reflection on past patterns more likely.
How you prepare depends on what matters to you: review key documents, clarify expectations in relationships, and allow extra time for travel and communication. Sources recommend framing the month as a time to sort unfinished business and to practice restraint, not as a signal to panic.
