Astrologers have accused you of being manipulative, but what’s that really about? Unless you’re outright evil (and I know you like to front like you’re devilish, but let’s be real—you’re an exoskeletal sweetheart), being manipulative truly stems from not having the voice to speak up for what you want, and feeling like you have to do things in an underhanded way to have your needs met. An evolved Scorpio knows how to go undercover and be a good detective, but is courageous and clear in communication—is this you, dear Scorpio, or are you navigating your career and relationships by pulling strings and dropping hints? Are you actively learning about your boundaries and expressing yourself, loud and proud?

This Mercury retrograde, annoying as it may be, is a great time to slow down with your romantic and creative partners and talk about how things have been so far. Reflection is good!
