The third Mercury retrograde of 2026 runs from October 24 to November 13, between 5° and 21° Scorpio.

Below is the general meaning of Mercury retrograde, followed by more details about Mercury retrograde in October 2026.
Mercury Retrograde Meaning
Mercury retrograde is generally challenging and can affect how you think and communicate. Common effects include confusion, anxiety, disagreements, technology failures, bad news, travel delays, and lost items.
Business negotiations may be in flux. Some crucial details may not be available yet, and others may be unreliable or inaccurate.
However, you may experience déjà vu, reminisce about happy times, unexpectedly meet an old friend or lover, or recover suppressed memories or skills from childhood or past lives.
The most critical point in the Mercury retrograde cycle is when Mercury stations retrograde. The few days around the exact retrograde and direct stations are the riskiest for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport. For more information, see Mercury Retrograde Natal and Transit.

Mercury Retrograde October 2026
Mercury stations retrograde on October 24, 2026, at 20°58′ Scorpio. It squares Jupiter, but not exactly until December 4, 2026. So this weakening influence is only mild.
Mercury square Jupiter (2°20′) brings optimism and a broad outlook, but an inability to narrow things down can lead to indecision and procrastination. Lack of concentration or difficulty focusing may lead to indiscretion, poor judgment or mistakes.
Over-optimism, overestimation, or exaggeration can cause embarrassment, loss, or disappointment. So focus on the minor details and pay extra attention to how you express yourself. Don’t promise too much or overestimate your abilities when making plans.
The Fixed Stars
Mercury stations retrograde in the Scorpio Sign. But because of the precession of the equinoxes, it is in the Libra Constellation. It aligns with the major fixed star Zubeneschamali on the Northern Scale of the Balance.
Fixed star Zubeneschamali (19♏44) brings good fortune, high ambition, beneficence, honor, distinction, wealth, permanent happiness, a sharp mind and intellect, and very powerful psychic qualities, or psychotic tendencies if the planets and aspects are harsh enough. For good or ill, it pushes the human mind to its extremes.
With Mercury: Active, ambitious, alert, studious, forthright, writing and orating skills, benefits through writings or speeches, favors from influential people, good position. However, heavy spending or careless writing or statements may cause unforeseen problems. Domestic problems are also possible.
Constellation Libra, the Balance (05♏58 to 02♐34), gives intuition, harmony, observance, caution, modesty, refinement, regal bearing, justice, intellect, amiability and impartiality. But it can make one highly emotional, prone to worry, vacillating, self-indulgent, sensual, excessive and overly cautious. It portends the death of kings and events concerning sacred rites and changes in religious customs.
With Mercury stationary: Impressionable, impractical imagination, unreliable, poor judgment, wavering, tactless, prone to unfaithfulness, too free with advice, often unwanted.
Asterism Di, Root (15♏27 to 25♏30) gives intelligence, ambition, understanding, amiability, resourcefulness, decisiveness, strategic thinking, refinement and support from elders. However, a rebellious nature can lead to setbacks, misfortune and a wandering nature.
This asterism is auspicious for making agricultural tools, brewing wine and nectar, and planting barley, wheat, rice, millet, sugarcane, jujubes, and other fruit trees. Large-scale undertakings are not advisable.
Di represents the Emperor’s palace chambers, the residence of empresses and consorts, and a place for rest and relaxation, and governs epidemics and plagues. Zubeneschamali represents the Empress.
With Mercury: High-ranking officials suffer sudden distress.
With Mercury stationary: High-ranking individuals face imprisonment; floods, droughts, or war occur.

Mercury Direct November 2026
Mercury stations direct on November 13, 2026, at 05°02′ Scorpio. It is quincunx Uranus and square Pluto. As with the retrograde station, these aspects are weakening, but their smaller orbs make them more significant.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (0°50′) brings intense mental activity, originality, curiosity, and new ideas. However, rushed or scattered thinking, changing opinions and altered plans could lead to a buildup of nervous anxiety. This could lead to eccentric behavior, skepticism, inconsistency, abruptness, impulsive decisions, forgetfulness, mistakes or accidents.
Mental self-discipline and patience will help you channel this erratic energy so you can concentrate and think things through properly. An original way of thinking helps you find answers intuitively and solve problems.
Mercury square Pluto (1°46′) brings strong willpower and mental penetration that favors research, investigation, uncovering secrets, and solving mysteries. However, obsession, compulsion, ruthlessness or extremism can lead to intense interactions, threats, intimidation and abuse.
Beware of lies, coercion, manipulation, subversion, propaganda and conspiracy theories. Honesty, open-mindedness and straightforwardness will help avoid arguments and conflict.

Kang represents the emperor’s inner court, overseeing all matters reported to the emperor. It governs lawsuits, the administration of justice, the recording of merits, epidemics and diseases.
With Mercury: Floods and major warfare.
With Mercury stationary: Rice prices rise, disease spreads, drought strikes, bandits emerge, and social discord prevails.
φ Boo (0°26′): Constellation Boötes the Herdsman (24♍37 to 13♏23) brings prosperity through work, strong desires, a tendency to excess, a fondness for rural pursuits, and a liking for occultism. It affects events concerning agriculture, with notably delayed effects.
Mercury Retrograde October 2026 Summary
Mercury stationing retrograde square Jupiter amplifies the negative effects of the otherwise positive fixed star Zubeneschamali. This increases the risk of overspending and careless words, and of this star’s powerful psychic qualities turning psychotic.
Venus is retrograde the entire time that Mercury is retrograde. In fact, they station direct on the same day, November 13, 2026. As a result, relationships are a major theme. But this combination will also strongly affect finances.
Mercury rules commerce, trade, communication and the telecoms industry and transport infrastructure.
Venus rules money, business partnerships, diplomacy and insurance brokers.
Mercury stationing retrograde in the Heavenly Market Right Wall indicates “market disturbances.” Numerous indicators of flood, drought and war add more pressure on financial markets, stock prices and the cost of living.
Uranus trine Pluto coincided with the AI boom. Mercury stationary retrograde in a harsh aspect to both planets could negatively affect tech stocks and, therefore, the stock market generally. Mercury stationary direct may significantly affect agriculture, food prices and availability, and cause social unrest.

I just want to praise the title! It made me laugh(cackle?)…the line between the two can be blurry 😉
The lead up to the retro has been interesting. Need to look at new moon take again. Emerging from the ordeal that consumed me for waaay too long, I find myself acknowledging and feeling soooo grateful for the who’s and what’s that got me through. Perhaps it is because of this semblance of clearing, that I have been experiencing synchronicity in my environment. That is a wonder I neither tout nor take for granted. On top of that or I should say below that I released a corpse I have carried my entire life. It all feels like magic or that feeling I get after taking a good dump.
Transiting Uranus and Pluto are trining natal mercury? I
Moon sextile Mercury today with these planets in the “art” signs, Capricorn and Scorpio, and if you’re missing the museum, probably a good idea to get regrounded. We have banana crazy politicians and baseball fans, and in you’re area maybe produce a lot of them, and the same old problems plague us but now we have Artificial intelligence, but what are we using it for? The biggest problem it’s settled?, use the Artwork for your population/genocide hangups, that’s a good use of AI, and one wonders if the Chinese see it and are going down that path, something to consider on a Moon sextile Mercury day, Canada too, a big decision to make.
The first sentence of the “Mercury Direct November 2026″ paragraph looks affected by Mercury retrograde. It says about the day stationing retrograde in October, doesn’t it? Well, if I’d gotten a job finding fault with others, I would be a millionaire now.
Pluto stationed direct on October 15, right? If something happens with this Mercury retrograde, it may be radical or extreme. At least for me, I finally got a job!
Hi Ken. Thank you!
This is more about my natal Mercury-Venus opposite Saturn. A lifelong struggle.
“Mercury stations direct on November 13, 2026”
Good to see you, Jamie!
I’ve heard that hard aspects bring hardships of course, but when a man overcomes them, he gets to reach the splendid achievement which is hard to imitate for others. This great website might also be brought by exactly the same planetary aspect. I’m amazed your persistence and dedication!
What I like in the website is pointing out relatively difficult situations. It’s essential for my reviews and plans, and also for gathering the courage to face reality.
No wonder despite the strong Pluto-Uranus influence Saturn still is Jamie’s birth ruler and this is the reason for what you wrote here Ken.
It gives him perseverance, realism and stability.
Without his strong Saturn maybe the outer planets chaos would have disrupted his life too much and we wouldn’t have an achievement or kegacy like this great, great side.
Greez
Hello, Klaus!
I didn’t know Saturn was his ruler. If so, his entire life has been Hard, I think.
Anyway, It’s interesting for me to hear that outer planets express the chaos of the world and society. The world is cruel and unbearable! For example, Warren Buffet has “Sun con. Neptune” like me and others too, but only he got outstanding results without being swallowed up by the chaos. A Japanese astrologer said that the difference arose because of “Having Strong Saturn or Not.” It’s obvious that his going through a lot in early times have improved his Saturn to like a sturdy ship.
Well, I would never be a billionaire, but a legendary astrologer says the most valuable thing which Saturn rewards an indomitable traveler is “Nailing the Landing to the world his all activities, including thoughts or feelings.” If someone got the great wealth taking advantage of Jupiter power but NO Saturn power, the prosperity would feel superficial to everyone and even to himself. Even a dinner of 300€ doesn’t make him feel good! He can’t feel any Sense of Reality in any of his activities on earth, until he has finished the tasks assigned from Saturn. I heard, once a man completes his Saturn mission, he starts to find true and real happiness in his life, like just everyday life or even a rustle of leaves in a breeze, and so on.
Are the tasks ever completed? You think? However you did say starts. It seems to me that done would mean dead. For now.
There is still the service that follows. And that involves earthly duties and relationship with others. I wonder if that’s the doing the laundry they talk about.
For me, Jupiter had a lot to do with it. Being grateful for those rustling leaves and such. The beauty in life. I was at my lowest of lows after the biggest of blows. I took my camera and started taking pictures of everything beautiful. I didn’t know I was doing that but it brought me to a whole new level of existence. I was brought to my knees in total joy. Talk about moving from one extreme to another. I feel like I was forced into it by getting beat up so bad.
I am so glad for your comment as it relates to saturn.
Thanks for your comment, Vic!
It seems natural that Saturn represents an end or death. Until Medieval times, Saturn was the last and slowest planet for everyone. I think it’s still that way, cuz Saturn is the last planet visible to the naked eye for us too. It’s also the Planet of the Absolute Ruler, whose power was limited within a narrow society at that time. In addition, most people in the past finished their lives within or before they entered Saturn age range, didn’t they? So I think Saturn symbolizes a visible Big Boss in modern times, too. In a way, it’s the Planet of Limitation for now, but of course, more planets follow after it. I think a man who is completing the duty imposed by Saturn, well, it might be so painful that it feels like killing himself, can still establish a solid base to live on, or be ready to receive the power of the outer planets. Could it be said that a person who embodies the energy of the Trans Saturnians, the servers of large scale events affecting society at large, would be able to properly receive and make the most use of the gift from Jupiter, the social planet we love the most? In my opinion, some of the greatest people sometimes look dull or foolish to ordinary eyes, well you know, they just do laundry things, but at the same time, achieve great things, and run or even save the world… Well, hadn’t ancient saints done such things, or Lao-tzu or gurus said such a thing?
I got sidetracked! At any rate, it’s interesting how natal Saturn represents not only what at first sight appears to be a mental block for everyone, but also their unique, irreplaceable career that becomes a tough act for others to follow. Maybe we might find more treasures in the areas we struggle with!
Hi Ken,
“A Japanese astrologer said that the difference arose because of “Having Strong Saturn or Not.”
Yes that’s the key and yr jap astrologer is not the only one who states that….
We should see Saturn not only as evil but also a protector of life, of forms and structures which are useful to give life a pupose, to become the form or path of destiny, the universe or god has chosen for you. Some also say you have chosen this on the other side in between different lives.
Therefor destiny is NOT being all diffent kinds of people or change personalities cuz these are psychiartic disturbances like depersonalisation or mpd.
The transsaturnian energies have the potential to destroy yr life if you cannot integrate them into saturn frame so be warned.
Thats also the reason why traditional or conservative people don’t like transsaturnian outsiders. They smell the rat….Their reaction is fear of the unknown or simply be repelled.
On the other side if saturn becomes too rigid it is no good for life too. A strangler…
Greez
Greetings again, Klaus!
To tell the truth, most of my astrological knowledge comes in my native language. I intend to show unique information somehow, but to be outstanding isn’t so easy, man!
It feels very natural that an overly strong Saturn is stifling. We all love Jupiter! But I’ve heard that the true love, which probably everyone needs sincerely, lies nearby around Saturn.
It’s also quite acceptable that Balance and Moderation are essential. It also looks like the domain of Saturn or Capricorn! The most important “Planet” is the Sun, our existential direction. In order to head that way, we need to find a balance among the other planets, assessing the current situation both individually and in relation to their surroundings. Before taking a leap into the trans-saturnian field, I understand that I must prepare the protection. But I think that the motivation to take the first step wells up from Jupiter. Doesn’t it take Jupiter to venture? It must be only possible with Jupiter to consider the world of rats and mads as the great and precious field to enjoy.
A little JPN astrologer said that “The social atmosphere of northern countries tends to mirror the tone of Saturn, while that of southern countries reflects Jupiter.” She said that that’s same as the relation between east-west and Neptune-Uranus. So when we need to balance our planets, we should take where we are now into consideration. For example, I’m in Japan now, so the social atmosphere is prone to leaning toward a tone of Saturn and Neptune. Just by being here, I tend to be dragged into restrictions and fantasies! To find a balance, I should be proactive in finding joy and being independent.
Your country must be in a good season right now! Oktober is almost over, so it might be past its peak of autumn foliage, but the air must be brisk and clear to breathe. I hope to visit those woods someday.
Hi Ken again,
nice conversation with you 🙂🙋
Surely the vibes of the closer and wider environment gives an imprint the longer you stay there, either constructive or destructive.
You don’t to be “outstanding” to give love and spirit to others, just be yrself that’s enough to be part of a greater realm.
Saturn’s cautious nature can help to turn down excesses of any planetary kind, i. e. Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, but also from inner planets…
That’s the reason you mentioned balance which is a libra theme where Saturn is elevated in classic astrology.
Nice you wanna visit the dark, wet and cold german forests at halloween and scorpio time so i guess you must have a strong pluto theme for this ? (“rats and mads”) Maybe Jupiter with Pluto is good for this? Depends on…
😏👹
Greez
Greez again, Klaus!
Actually, my natal Pluto has been at a critical point in my chart. You got it! I think that only by undergoing a revolutionary change could I manage to escape Pluto’s grasp. There’s no breakthrough without hard work, don’t you think? The best way might be giving love and spirit to others… deadly?? Well, I need to learn how to balance first😇🎃
I’ve overlooked the strong affinity between Saturn and Libra. According to one theory, Japan‘s chart has the Sun in Libra. My perspective on them has improved! Thanks from the Far East, with a Neptunic flavor🌅
Jamie, any readings coming up for US midterm elections? TY!
A mercury retro election.
Just, Wow. I should have known better that the KQ or rather his master’s were never going to allow that public execution. Was all another rattle the world’s nerves for a few weeks with bonus stock market or let’s bet on it casino ruse no doubt. While a 40% increase in starving kids over the last year is due to US Aid cuts.
Just, Wow. Such a shame the Euro protest’s emboldened the ignorant & stupid to riots. Frustration is no excuse.
Just Wow. Here a Labor pollie, enormously respected by all parties & independents for her integrity etc, was pinned between two cars a few days ago out front of her electoral office. She may lose both legs. Trying to kill someone in Oz for their political stance a first i think.
Just, Wow. What is the big deal with that lady Judge getting the Peace prize leading to the quantum leap of KQ etc bringing down the ICC.
A petition on this if you will.
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/campaigns/save_the_icc_2_1/?copy&utm_source=copy&utm_medium=social_share&utm_campaign=59781&astro=true&share_location=post_action&referer_id=01a158037c3f70bf9198e15ee45a6561
“Dear friends,
The threat is clear: US companies have six months to stop working with the International Criminal Court (ICC). In practice it means the court won’t be able to pay its staff or communicate by emails, and might just cease to exist…..”. AVAAZ. It’s millions strong & petitions on this global level most often work.
Just, No surprise at all really. We’ll cut y’all off the internet if you don’t do what we demand.
Perfect example of my fave bangon phrase. Capitalism is not by default Democracy.
Did no one other than AI Safety experts see it coming that once every level was plugged into The Matrix, Skynet, wotev, that whole nations, industry, essential services, food production & storage could be turned on or off at any moment?
For the highest bidder or bribery & blackmail etc. Like, well, like fkn big DER.
Just, Wtaf?! In very recent times…. Why on earth would the likes of Skynet & Google need to even bother placing advertising for on live TV. Very v strange.
🥂 to all the lovely normal everyday decent Americans who are going to oust the KQ. NEXT STOP TECH BROS & section 230 for a start.
Now then Kaz, you frequent the tv. But you are missing the message from the Kq supporters. They are hawking something called Relaxium. We are supposed to take this medication and just go to sleep about it all. They are concerned we aren’t able to sleep. It’s a hoot considering their backing of all the chaos creation keeping people awake nights. I only know it does because the going’s on with kq faction are not allowed to be discussed with some people. I have been told the political corruption keeps them awake at night.
Seriously!? Relaxium meds for non republicans specifically i guess your meaning. Strange how oblivious people simply cannot see themselves in the mirror nor hear themselves talking. More like Monty Python every day but not even amusing.
The outright brazen-ness as we inch toward midterm elections here is unbelievable. The right to vote and have that vote counted has been the mainstay of democracy. The voice of the people. What is going on is completely bonkers.
Hi Kaz,
“Just, Wow. Such a shame the Euro protest’s emboldened the ignorant & stupid to riots. ”
Never heard the term “Agent provocateur” ?
It is similar to “false flag”.
Greez
Yes, my second thought sadly.
I’ve wondered now & then how’s it going with youth & others in Germany regards the push for mandatory armed forces sign up!?
Hi Kaz,
i think we have some other major severe constitutional problems here too.
Meanwhile leftists demonstraters demand more “refugees welcome” and don’t want any pushbacks, our system surely wants to solve the “problems” with both AFD and “die Linke” party through exaggerating the conflict with Russia so the can introduce martial law in form of NATO/WOTAN articles.
This would imply great possibilities to suppress people and further votes.
In fact THEY are the real preceeders of the 3.Reich and both our so called “government” AND this zero democratic legitimated masonic “EU”-Frankenstein rule without any justification.
The reason is that our system is deeply connected to globlists concerning both the “EU” and the US-deep state which is mainly represented today by such shadowy transhumanist CIA-figures like Peter Thiel and many others selling his surveillance software “Palantir” like “Pegasus” or others by jewish Mossad-companies. (btw. Epstein was selling them to governments!)
These people never ever want a free and sovereign national state germany again cuz it would be in the way for all their geopolitical plans esp. with Russia.
In general destroying any national souvereignities serves their purposes very well…
They shit on us and laugh us in the face and they never ever want that the german people are the REAL souvereign again.
We have no constitution cuz they abolished the only provisional “Grundgesetz” in 1990 through the nullification of article 23 which is the souvereign territory where it should be applied.
So they made a company out whole germany in 1990 registered in Delaware/USA – same way like the company of USA is since 1870.
Therefore also the US-people is property of these white collar financial exterritorial Washington D. C. banksters and their shareholders the same as we germans are.
Have you ever wondered why the “District of Columbia” is an exterritorial region inside the USA.?
That’s the reason WHY neither US- nor german people can have any “civil rights” cuz when there are no legitime states there are no civil rights. Never ever cuz a company cannot give them. Only a state.
Now just look WHO resides in D. C.:
The FED, world bank and the international monetary fond.
Btw. in Switzerland we have the same with the chief central bank of all central banks worldwide in Basel. Just imagine:
Only ONE building in Basel governs an exterritorial region where Switzerland has NO rights !!!
Understand now how mighty these people are ????
Just look at people like Paul Wolfowitz (former world bank president) then you know who are the TRUE rulers. Even Trump is a marionette of them but i have to admit he is difficult to control with his constellations…
I read JFK wanted to abolish the FED, a conglomerate of private banks which isn’t a state controlled institution at all. So they kilked him.
So the question nowadays imho is no longer left or right but there is a meta-level of global old-and new school super riches and families who are in control of the whole marionette circus.
So as you can clearly see the left/right framing isn’t very helpful for a deeper understanding what happens under the surface.
There are always interests behind.
Just follow the money….
Greez
Bawling Trump blaming Canada for latest Merican ailments. He gets cheap Canadian Natural Gas to resell to Europe, they don’t tell you if was the same idea behind developing Ring of Fire metal deposit, Cliffs wanted it for next to nothing and maybe why we have the Steel problem in Canada, Americans want Canada’s stuff for nothing or very little, want the Artwork for free, just steel it swindler, got enough of those running America, it’s your elixir of life, something for nothing, then you get too much of it and become an economic diabetic.
we have another psychic aspect if one has the Moon sextile Uranus transit, and if a Harvard Club memeber, or Bitcoin guru, that might be an interesting aspect to consider,I have it but looking at the rest of the chart it s like seeing dead people one sees on peoples front yards this time of year, that’s gruesome, ok, the space between realism has been talked about, it’s thin this time of year and a movie like My Sad Dead is creepy but one person sees dead people and it becomes infectious. Democrats or Liberals sees Harold Innis of Staples Theory but can’t quite go to cost reduction language, which any review of Ring of Fire recocommended especially since Trade Agreements are bargaining, Americans need to be reminded how that works North of the border, and how we see it with Natural gas in the previous post.
It is good to hear from Canada. The rational people in America hear you. And need to hear you. We can use the support.
Yeah Australia has been giving away some way too big a percent of it’s raw resources for way too long.
It’s when you get figures for context it is just…wow, how is this going on still.
All while letting some Big CorpSE pay zero tax after billions of profit.
Just one of them, if taxed at a normal reasonable level, would have given our GDP FOURTEEN BILLION from just ONE YEAR.
The best rort of many. Unless changed recently. Our gas that Japan buys costs their public less than gas costs us, public or business.
How is that “good economics”. How are these thuggery machines still being enabled, allowed to dodge such insane amount of Tax from public coffers.
Orgs have put out here, re the fight……One year of the above…..from just one, let alone the other CorpSE not paying, would pay for a year of ALL free TAFE /College courses. Pay for ALL the Disability Support levels of need. Pay for ALL free childcare.
Yet some factions here, easy guess, are still in the let them drill dig suck it up as it brings in taxes🤷. Clearly the oblivious & disinformed.
Our nation is an embarrassment. Gives paltry funding for renewables, environmental sector, research & lately our film industry etc….compared to billions given away in tax rorts.
A life long Labor voter, patient being informed enough that the previous greed is good decades absolute destruction takes time to undo, but feel like I’m being pushed to protest vote for the Greens.
NSW Labor premier just overruled a High Court decision to not extend a certain mine. Gobsmackiing.
For a minute there i thought I’d been teleported to the US. 🤪
Well my landlord, a mechanical engineer who also ran trucking business & helped build some big hay & machines holding sheds on this ole family farm….would have said that Chinese steel is shite quality & rusts way faster than the steel we used to make for ourselves. Our last steel making plant is about to close i think. Obcelance has become a plague of vileness.
Critical days around the stationary merc. I’d say I had one of those today in a personal looooong relationship. Yegads. At least I know what it is. Now what to do about it. I can be brutally direct. So I have to chew on this for awhile.
