Scorpio: Mercury crosses 20° Scorpio with Venus in your sign too, so ask the question you mean
Mercury and Venus are in Scorpio at three of the four October checkpoints, and Mercury meets a Sun near 20° Scorpio around 20 October. Ask the question you want answered before you judge the reply.
Ask for the information you need
Mercury and Venus are both in your sign, so what you think and what you want get tangled this month. Ask a question someone can answer, and keep the request for reassurance separate.
Mercury in Scorpio looks for what sits under a statement. Venus in Scorpio wants all or nothing, and it can turn a doubt into a test of loyalty.
If a shared project feels shaky, ask which task the other person has agreed to finish. A broad question about their commitment gets a broad answer and leaves the practical doubt in place.
Let the answer change your view. A question no evidence can settle has turned into a different conversation.
Keep what you want apart from what you know
Wanting a certain answer doesn't make it more likely. Write down what was said before you read meaning into it.
Mercury and Venus share Scorpio but sit at different degrees. Each one makes its own contact with your Sun, so read them separately.
Mercury meets 20° Scorpio around 20 October
At 12:00 UTC on 20 October 2026, Mercury is at 20°06′ Scorpio. If your Sun is near 20° Scorpio, Mercury is 0°07′ from it, almost exact.
Mercury on your Sun puts your thinking and speech in focus. In Scorpio it favors research and pointed questions.
Mercury sits at 1°20′ Scorpio on 1 October, 12°08′ on 10 October, 20°06′ on 20 October, and 17°12′ on 31 October. It moves backward late in the month, so a Sun near 20° Scorpio can meet it more than once.
