Mercury, planet of communication, has just moved into detail-driven Scorpio. It’s time to pay attention to the little things. For the next three weeks, go over everything with a fine-toothed comb. Though you might be accused of splitting hairs, you really can’t be too careful during this cycle. Got a research project to complete? Something that requires a high level of concentration? A mystery to solve? The rest of the month is perfect for our investigative minds. Put on your “CSI” cap and start searching. Scorpio also rules real estate, legal matters and joint ventures. You could be dealing with a property issue or hashing out the terms of a partnership. Engagements, proposals and baby news could also abound.

Got an issue? Here’s a tissue. You might find yourself playing therapist with friends, as secretive Scorpio and chatty Mercury have everyone pouring out their souls. It’s also a good time to learn about cleanses, detoxes, raw food and spiritual healing — all part of mystical Scorpio’s domain.

Mercury is here until November 2. Use this time to do your heavy-duty thinking. When it moves into Sagittarius next month, you’ll be more “big-picture,” and less patient with all the little odds and ends. Take advantage of this sharp-minded, transformational cycle while it lasts.
