Mercury Cazimi in Scorpio — A Powerful Message from the Underworld — Horoscopes for All 12 Signs

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].

Today, Mercury is at the heart of the Sun. We're going to talk about it. We're going to tell you everything to watch for. I'm going to do some horoscopes and tarot card pulls for all 12 signs. Hopefully, that will give you some things to think about.

It's interesting because Mercury is going through the heart of the Sun in Scorpio. Of course, Venus just did that recently, so we're going to finally see some movement in the sign of Scorpio if things have been bogged down in that area of your chart. You know, for all of us, two retrogrades in a row.

This second Cazimi is likely to really start clearing the way if things have been stuck. We're going to talk about that and more today. So that is what is on the agenda. Before we get into it, as always, please remember to like and subscribe. It helps us grow the channel so much when you take a second to give us the thumbs up every day.

Subscribe if you're not yet; it's free to do so. You can find daily transcripts of any of my talks on the website that is nightlightastrology.com. Take you over there right now. Couple of things to point out. One, our first year course, Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic. It is starting again very soon. We start on the 14th of November.

Click on the first year course if you want to join us for an absolutely amazing astrology program. Our first year course is truly one of the best programs out there for people who are either wanting to go professional. Now all of our programs are APAI certified, which means you get one of the best professional credentials in the world behind your process at Nightlight.

So that's great if you work through our first, second, and third year programs, you can get that certification. Also, our programs are designed to give you lifelong tools that will allow you to go from amateur to intermediate and sometimes even professional, depending on how many of the programs you go through. But this is for people who love astrology. You think and see the world in terms of astrology.

Now we start November 14. We're starting right under the Pluto Uranus trine. It's a great election for studying astrology. At the end of today's content, there's an informational video. You've probably seen it already. It's going to be running for just a little bit more time until the class starts on the 14th. It's not too late to join.

Although the early bird sale is over, tuition assistance is still available, so you can fill out that form. And if you're like, I really want to take this, but I am on a fixed budget. The only thing that is really required is that you really want to take the course and study astrology. And that if you have financial limitations, that don't let those stand in the way because that's what the financial assistance is for.

We want people who really want to study astrology to be able to do so and to have it make sense without going outside of your means and hurting yourself. That's really important to us. In fact, for the same reason, you can book a reading with me, and I have a price point there. But if that's outside of your price point, we don't want you to break the bank and hurt yourself.

So we have need-based astrology readings with our staff who are in the process of getting experience, and they get all of it. I don't take anything from that. They get paid all of that, and so it's a good way to support their developing careers and to let people have affordable readings. So that's kind of our mission at Nightlight, a part of our business model anyway.

So we want to make sure that a sacred topic is accessible to everyone. All right. Well, the other thing I want to point out is events. Go to monthly webinars. You can see that on November 19, I'm giving a talk on the fourth house, the IC Foundations roots. We're going to talk about why that house is connected with occult mysteries and initiations and mystical experiences, which a lot of people don't know about, so that should be interesting.

Also, don't forget my book. If you go to my books, the Audible version is out. I'm in the process of writing another book right now. I'm just finishing the second chapter of that book. Really excited about that. You can get the early version of that through the Kickstarter this year. And then every day at Nightlight is community meditation. Totally free to you. Check that out. It's under the events page as well.

Alrighty, let's put Nechepso up on the screen, you guys. I'm really excited about this because my God, doesn't it feel like we have had so much stuff going on in Scorpio? Not that I don't love Scorpio. Don't get me wrong. A lot of Scorpio in my family growing up. My mom's a Scorpio, and I value the like. I wouldn't be interested in the things that I am with such depth and intensity of focus and interest if it weren't for Scorpio influences in my life.

My mom's a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and her interest in the mind and in psychology had a huge impact on my life. Is why I find myself as a counseling astrologer in large part. My dad had a doctorate in pastoral counseling, and so psychological counseling as a Christian ministry. That was a part of his background. He was a very astute listener and observer of the human condition, and both my parents were that way.

And I, it's because of Scorpio placements in their chart. My dad had Saturn in the ninth house in Scorpio, really deep education. You know, so don't get me wrong, and I say this because I want to set something up about Mercury, which is that we're gonna. I'm gonna give you five things to watch for about this after I go through the timing.

But this Mercury Cazimi and all of the emphasis that we've had on the sign of Scorpio is really about some of the deepest material that can occupy our minds, our hearts, our relationships. This is intense, rich, fertile ground for growth. It's hard when you're in it, but once you're out of it, you know, once you kind of come out of the underworld, which is what we're heading toward now with Mercury flipping onto the Morning Star side of things and gradually releasing from the underworld.

The perspective gained is always like, well, there would be no other way I could have gotten there. You know, that is the only way I could have gotten there, and that's what makes most of us so appreciative of Scorpio. Once we're not as you know in the deep waters of it, when you're in it, it's just hard, you know. So anyway, let's talk about the timing here. So we've got the Cazimi today. So that Cazimi is taking place today. That's Wednesday, November 4.

Now, as I'm recording this, I can't help but wonder what's going to be. You guys know I don't cover current events with the astrology, but I can't help but wonder what's going to be happening. You know, because it's a in the United States here, obviously it's an election week, so powerful signature for election, and I say this also because Mercury retrogrades around election periods, they are a thing.

They are so literal sometimes, and the way that they end up causing delays or setbacks or like weird technological stuff. Anyway, not going to get into that, but I will say that I, you know, I can't help but making this a week in advance. Be like, hmm. So anyway, we have the Cazimi today. Now, here's what's going to happen. We're going to see if we move forward, right? Look, today they're at 12 degrees together here.

If I go forward one day to Thursday, November 5, they are already three degrees apart. Now not by full, but they're at 10 and 13, right? And so give it another day, Friday, November 6. They're about five degrees apart. So Mercury's humming along, and that morning star rising phase is really what's coming after the Scorpio new moon. We get a Scorpio new moon here next week on Monday of November 9.

That Scorpio new moon is going to come through, and we're going to get Mercury just after that on about the 13th, stationing to turn direct. Now, what's really fascinating about that station direct is that Venus is stationing direct at the exact same time, and Mercury will be stationing direct in not an exact, but within two degrees of a square to Pluto.

And as Mercury is doing that, of course, Mercury is appearing as the morning star. Venus has already done that. By the time you're hearing this, Venus has made that rising. So Mercury is going to be doing the same thing, kind of coming out of the underworld and doing so just after a new moon in Scorpio and with the square to Pluto, that should feel to all of us like a reset.

And we're gonna. That's why we're gonna focus on the whole sign house of Scorpio today. But anyway, so that's just kind of the brief overview of what's going on. The main thing you need to know is the Cazimis today. Five things to watch for. All right, let's go deep first. We're going to cover the you know the textbook retrograde features today, but this is to my mind this is where you start.

The deepest. I did put this first because I usually I don't have any kind of order, but today I put this first because I think this might be one of the deepest spiritual components or lessons, if we want to call it that, it's about what occupies our mind. Now there is a saying, and I'm going to look it up because I just I can't remember it well enough. So hold on, let's see here.

Yeah, the quote is: "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." Now, I don't love the quote in terms of it. It kind of sounds insulting. It's like if you're talking about people, what a shallow person you are. Well. That doesn't feel right, or events. So I don't, I don't like it if it sounds like it's if it's degrading or insulting people. Like, oh, I talk about ideas, you know.

So, but I like the. I mentioned this in our morning meditation group recently, I said every day I share something about meditation. Let me put this screen down; it's blinding me. Okay, there we go. It's like, all right, you know, one of the things that I've noticed, a value that I've noticed about meditation, or yeah, like a gift that it gives, is that when I'm around people who are talking about other people, and it's let's say it's somewhere in that no man's land of not degrading but not necessarily supportive, right?

It's just kind of like let's talk about the current events of other people and all that they're going through, up and down, and like comment and speculate and offer our armchair psychologizing or you know whatever doesn't have to be malicious gossip is what I'm saying, but it's not it's not exactly like affirming either. You will notice if you meditate daily that it just doesn't feel good to be a part of those conversations in a way that it might have felt good earlier in life.

This is to me if you meditate somewhat regularly, or or any kind of mindfulness practice. I also probably because I have a long career at this point, going on 17 years here of listening to people speak in a counseling setting, that I I I don't know I have a probably an unusual sense of how how deep and human and I don't know rich our lives are, and so when I hear people talking about other people in casual ways that and the other person's not present.

It often makes me feel really uncomfortable. Same thing when people are only ever talking about just like what happened, like this happened and that happened and this happened and that happened. I love storytelling, right? So if people are sharing a story and the story, I don't know, gets at ideas and insights about human nature that are really profound and beautiful. I am all for that, but just that kind of basic, like what happened? What's Susie doing?

You know, there is a way in which all of us, as we study and practice something like astrology, and start seeing our lives through the prisms of the stars, the archetypal patterns of the planets, that we should probably notice that our minds prefer being set on things of a higher nature, and I'm not again. It's like you. It's like in saying that you want to be careful that doesn't come off judgy or like elitist or something, but you'll notice a discomfort talking about things that feel superficial and are only sort of gossipy.

I guess is the word, or sort of mundane. Now, what I think is really remarkable about this Cazimi is that when Mercury is at the heart of the Sun in Scorpio, you can have such powerful insights about what has been on your mind and what in whether or not what has been on your mind has been healthy. Is it obsessive? Is it manipulative or coercive? You know, when our mind is occupied with dark things, we often start taking on negative qualities, even if we think we're dwelling on dark things for the, you know, the betterment of Life, like there's this really good book that I read on the tarot.

It's called Meditations on the Tarot, and the author was it's kind of a Christian hermeticism take on the tarot. It's very interesting. Anyway, the author was talking about the devil card, and he was talking about how we have to be careful not to occupy ourselves trying to classify and dissect and analyze darkness all the time, because and he's talking about like moral darkness, right? Because in a weird way, it can infect us, and this is this is that kind of Cazimi.

Where we can get so clear about what's been on our mind and whether the depth, the intensity, is serving a purpose that's good, or whether we're getting obsessive and fixated on things that, in time, are just are slowly eroding the health of our consciousness, if that makes sense. So it's a good time to reflect on that. It's a good time to have very clear insight into patterns around our mind and what occupies it, and the health of it. That's the first thing I wanted to say.

I've noticed this myself. Let me give you an example. I think I told you guys recently that I, you know, we're obviously, as you're all so painfully aware of, because I won't shut up about it. You guys are aware that we're in this like painstakingly slow purgatory process of waiting for our house to sell and buying another house, and they're dependent upon each other. So it's like, oh, anyway.

But I notice that every day that I spend completely fixated on it, and like the temptation to just pull another tarot card, or you know whatever that that kind of obsession, I had to just I had to just say no, like no, I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm going to wait until this process has completed itself. I've done an I Ching, a tarot, looked at the astrology. I will trust what I've seen and let it play out.

And I have to let go of obsessing about it because obsession and control are closely related to one another. And so that's the kind of insight that goes along with these Scorpio cycles, right? It's one of many that could come up, but that's the idea, and that's kind of what inspired me to come up with this one. All right. Well, number two on my list is more practical.

Look, we've had two back-to-back cycles in Scorpio. Things not moving well. Something stuck could finally start moving. It's that simple. Just watch for things that have been stagnant or slow or stuck to start developing and to start moving again. Very common when you got back-to-back retrogrades in the heart of a solar season in a fixed sign, right? For things to feel really heavy and weighty and slow and repetitive and stuck.

But this Cazimi with Venus now out of the retrograde, right? A new moon coming in Scorpio. This can sort of start to reset and get things moving again. Now, something along the same lines, a Cazimi was known as a moment where someone might begin healing after being sick. So something sick might finally receive healing. Take that however you want to.

Number four would be that Cazimis with Mercury are great moments of insight. Great ideas come at Cazimi moments, and solutions to problems often present themselves. So watch for those things, especially today. And then, last but not least, don't be surprised if very specific messages or messengers somehow appear. That often happens during the most intense part of a Mercury Cazimi.

This the messages will bear the mark of the emblem or seal of the king. It's as though something higher is communicating and something clear is coming through. So moments of clarity, moments of someone being empowered by an authority figure to speak or act, or some kind of executive decision or executive power to communicate or convey something. Those kinds of themes can pop up as well.

All right. So what I want to do next is I'm going to give you a brief reminder of your the whole sign house in which this is happening. But we're also going to pull a tarot card for each of you, each of your signs. So let's get into it. So you can see right here I have 12 cards pulled. They are in order.

Starting over here on the left, we've got Aries, and we're going to move all the way through Pisces. I'm going to come back to these, and we are going to pull them one at a time as I give you some reminders of what is going on with this Cazimi in your chart. So we have for Aries, we have the eighth house, a place of shared assets and resources, a place that has to do with our soul contracts and exchanges with other people.

What could be coming up there? For Aries, the card I picked is the King of Swords. Now, to me, that would mean that executive decision making with an emphasis on being rational is really important right now. That Cazimi in the eighth house can be all about looking at shared assets and resources or different kinds of contracts that you share with other people. King of Swords is a pretty good rational decision maker.

So where there are deep emotional investments bring maybe a little aura of a little element of rational control to the discussion. I think that's a pretty good way of looking at that one. Let's go forward to Taurus. Taurus, it's straight up in the 11th house. Relationships with other people, interpersonal dynamics, maybe kind of personal contracts with other people, love, sex, marriage, relationships, but any kind of negotiation or any kind of agreements and partnerings, things like that.

So let's take a look at your card, and we're going to go over to the tarot table for Tauruses. Ooh, yeah. So we've got the eight of swords. It's a difficult situation. It's it's like you're going into something blind. You can't fully see. You feel kind of caught in difficult in a difficult position, and stuck in some hemmed in by some difficult circumstances.

But I like that this figure, the blindfoldedness and the blindedness to me means there's a lack of control over the situation, but you can use your intuition. I always think of this figure as having access to a way out that is not as literal, that's not as physical, that's mental or spiritual. So keep that in mind if some kind of relational situation makes you feel a little stuck.

All right, let's go forward to Gemini. So now we got the sixth house Cazimi, and we're looking at the place of daily work, daily upkeep, work service sacrifice, sometimes sickness or adversity that you have to overcome, but this is the chop wood carry water house. So something shifting around the hard work that you do, the labor and sacrifices that you make, the challenges you have to overcome.

Usually, you work hard here, you eventually get rewarded. But let's get into the card. So a six of wands for Geminis. That's a great card that suggests to me that maybe a lot of effort behind the scenes, or something you've been really struggling through with these two retrogrades in the sixth. Maybe there's some sense of victory at last, rising above some kind of difficulty and finding a victorious ending to some kind of hard process.

I like that. That's nice. Maybe rewarded for hard work. All right, let's go on to Cancer. So for Cancer, we have the fifth house, Cazimi. That's going to be the place of creativity, place of creative fulfillment, joy, children. This is your creative Dharma house. So creative fulfillment is a big part of this right now, and also just recognizing something about your natural talents and abilities, your natural gifts, and what brings joy or fulfillment in life.

So let's take a look at the card that came up for you: Cancer's Knight of Pentacles. That's interesting. Could be the arrival of some kind of practical mission. I mean, when I say practical mission, I mean something creative that could be turned perhaps into something practical. Is there some way of monetizing a creative idea right now, or is there a person of influence that's coming in?

Is there an opportunity to move forward both creatively and to experience more joy, but there's a kind of very earthy pentacle-like practical sense of taking charge of the situation or moving forward a new opportunity arising from the night somehow creatively, maybe in some ways practically. So that's interesting to connect to the creative house. Let's go to Leo's. So for Leo's, it's in the fourth house.

The Cazimi is in the fourth house of home and family, roots, living environment, parents, parental karma. Let's see what Leo's got. The 10 of Swords. Okay, so that's fascinating because it really does speak to the end of a cycle. I see this card; it looks pretty negative, but when I think of this card, I just think something's done. It's just it's over. There's a cycle that's over.

It's reached completion, and it's time to let go of something. And something might be reaching a place of just of you know it's run its course, and then there's renewal that comes. You know, after the 10, people freak out about the 10, but the thing is, is that as much as the 10 is a difficult card in terms of the kind of death endings, release of an old cycle, it is usually indicative that something new is going to start next.

It's the end of winter, so to speak, or the dark of winter next comes spring. So, what is the reset that's taking place right now? Something's ending for sure, but what's the next phase? All right, let's go forward to Virgos. So for Virgos, we have the third house related to things like the mind and intelligence and communication and the need to feel happy in our own skin, in our own mental emotion. Environment, also things like siblings and peers, the local environment, short journeys and travel.

Let's see here. Where are we? Here we go. Oh, whoops. Nope, I did that wrong. Let's go back to Virgo. Let's go over to the tarot. So for Virgos, the five of swords. Excuse me, five of wands comes up. That's an interesting card. It to me, it speaks to two things. One, the third house, especially like peers, siblings, conflict around peers and siblings, and rising above like pettiness.

That comes to my mind, and just recognizing that there's a certain amount of competitiveness that surrounds you in the environment, or of childlike quarrel, or maybe playfulness, and like not taking things so seriously, like having a little bit more fun or being a little bit more playful, even when there is like a little bit of competition or contentiousness. But then this is also about putting aside childlike, you know, just it's like it's like don't fight with your siblings, rise above it, you know.

So I like this energy though as suggesting a little bit of an environment of combativeness or mental playfulness, but also rising above anything that represents conflict. It's too childlike for you. You don't. You don't have to get involved. All right, Libra. We have the second house Cazimi, and I'm actually going to back this up one day. We have the second house Cazimi if you're a Libra, and so that's going to be in the realm of money and assets and resources.

Let's take a look at what's happening for Libras. The nine of Wands. So it's like a long process that you've been through around money, assets, and resources. You might feel a little bit beat up, but the good news is that that 10 is coming. You're almost done. Like you're almost there. And I do think that this is probably the beginning of the end when it comes to any kind of arduous or difficult process that you've been going through.

That's a the nine is kind of like bruised, battered, taking a breather, almost done, not quite there, but you're almost there. So take that for what it's worth around things like money, assets, resources. A new cycle is close at hand. Now let's go forward to Scorpio rising, this puts Scorpio on the ascendant, which is the place of identity, health, body. So let's think about the Cazimi along those lines for Scorpios.

We've got the Chariot. So that's fascinating because when I think of the Chariot, I always think about moments where we have an opportunity to really take a big growth step. I can become stronger, wiser, a little bit more in control, and a little bit more. Let's call it able to carry the tensions of life, the dualities that pull us in different directions. We're the chariot driver. You when we're able to manage and control things.

So a moment of real personal growth and leveling up, and controlling powerful forces within ourselves and being able to be the you know at the wheel of our ship. This is the helm of the ship, the driver on the chariot. So, you know, what does your health look like mentally, emotionally, physically? Are you in control of some of the wilder, more untamed forces within yourself? Working on those things right now is a good idea.

There's a lot of momentum there to support you. All right, let's go to Sagittarius. Put this Cazimi into the 12th house for Sagittarius, which is that notorious kind of blind spot, or it's a place that we reach into through meditation and prayer and going into otherworldly spaces. But it's also a place of the things that are in our blind spot that may undermine us with from within ourselves or from without.

Let's see what the tarot pull is for Sagittarians. We've got Ace of Cups. That's interesting. A moment of spiritual and emotional renewal. I wonder if there's some healing happening because that 12th house can be a little bit like places of solitude, retreat, healing, and insight that allow us to grow. And yeah, I think of it like a retreat into solitude or nature. Sometimes the 12th house, right?

So you can think of the Ace of Cups as offering regenerative power. There's almost like a baptism happening in that 12th house, metaphorically for you right now. That's Sagittarians. Let's go forward to Capricorns. If you're a Capricorn rising or sun sign, then you've got this in the 11th house, a place of friends, groups, long-term dreams and goals.

The patrons or benefactors in your life, the people socially that are good to collaborate with and that help you get where you want to go. It's a place that also defines our social goals and ambitions relative, usually to our profession, but also in a bigger societal sense. So let's see what Capricorn's got cooking. Go over to the tarot te. King of Wands.

Okay, so to me that that speaks to exploring power, authority, leadership dynamics. Maybe within institutions or institutional settings, it's about transfers of power or authority, mantles and titles of authority. It's about creative centrality, like what's at the center, who rules or governs, very very Cazimi in the 11th house. Maybe powerful people you're coming into contact with, so keep that in mind.

There, all right. Let's go to Aquarius. So for Aquarius, this is right in your career house. So the career house obviously public facing reputation notoriety your professional sense of direction or ambition. Let's see what Aquarian's got. The 10 of Cups, nice. That's a great card. Kind of heralds maybe a moment of completion or resolution or promotion or success. But it's it's good good feelings, good vibes.

Especially sometimes this is like an emotional renewal point or a point of reaching some kind of victory. Especially if things were stagnant or stuck or or things were breaking down or shifting, this is suggesting that if you've been through a long process, you know, in your career house, things are coming to some kind of happy resolution. So I really love that. That's a great card for our Aquarians.

All right, and then last but not least, we have Pisceans who have this in the ninth house, place of spirituality, religion, long journeys and travel, but the pursuit of what is truth. What is you know who are who are the teachers? What is the higher learning? So let's take a look at the card for Pisceans, the Three of Swords. Now I wouldn't. People frequently read that as like, oh, it's a breakup, but no, I think the way that I've been taught to look at this card is always contextual, right?

So what is the Three of Swords in the context of a Cazimi Mercury, you know, a Mercury in Scorpio Cazimi in the ninth house, I would say that this is about insights, deep philosophical, moral, ethical, psychological insights into what creates pain and suffering, and what is going to create fulfillment and wholeness. So there's some pretty deep insights happening right now into the it's like a Buddhist class.

You learn about impermanence, you learn about suffering, and you learn about the antidotes in medicine that can help the heart stay whole, healthy, and happy. So I think about this for Pisceans as a real point of wisdom around what creates happiness and and what creates disease or distress? What creates suffering? So, but there's profound insight there that's coming up.

It's enriching psychological, spiritual, or philosophical material about the nature of darkness, depth, suffering, and joy and happiness because that always comes with the three of swords. Maybe this is a little painful to recognize, but I'm so much happier because I do now recognize it. All right. Well, I hope that was fun. Just a creative way of doing horoscopes today to remind us of that whole sign house of Scorpio.

I hope you have a beautiful day and that the messenger graces your life with beauty and insight. Always the prayer on this channel that you would be, we would we would be able, as Ram Dasa said, to walk each other home, and that this is a community where you can feel, you know, safe to to marry your spirituality to astrology every day, knowing that that's what's supported here. That's all I've got for you. Next, I'm going to tell you about the year one program. We start on the 14th. Come study with us. We'll see you again tomorrow. Bye.
