Mars/Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes 

for October 13-November 13 by Rising Sign


These are sorted by Rising Sign (if you don’t know yours, but you do know what time you were born you can look it up here: https://cafeastrology.com/whats-my-ascendant-sign.html).  These are based on the fact that Mars has been Retrograde since October 9 and in conflict with Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn (all fucking year).  On October 13, Mercury will station Retrograde opposite Uranus, and then change houses (areas of focus in your life) to get involved in the Mars/JPS mess before stationing Direct again. It might be that these stay two completely separate threads, but this is what it might look like if they don’t. I’m still working on my key words for some of the more complicated houses, but this has been an interesting exercise to trace two transits through all 12 signs. Please note: this is just one tiny piece of the puzzle and your mileage may vary significantly based on the given circumstances of your specific chart.
