Mercury in Scorpio: Eyes of the Soul
Wednesday October 20, 2010
Mercury the messenger is in Scorpio today through November 9th. Mercury Scorpio gives us eyes to see hidden dimensions of life, and to perceive how they shape the visible world. A great time to do in-depth research or investigations, and speak or create art from your soul.
While Mercury is here, we're less chatty, more observant, and apt to see into the heart of a situation. That sets the stage for all kinds of personal epiphanies, about things usually below even our own radar.
Soulful artists like Radiohead's Thom Yorke and the late Jeff Buckley -- both are Mercury Scorpio natives. Others include occultist Aleister Crowley, goth writer Anne Rice and Hungarian actor Béla Lugosi, who played Count Dracula on the stage and screen.
Other Mercury in Scorpio visionaries, some with a dark bent, are Sylvia Plath, Sam Shepard, William Blake, Kurt Vonnegut, Sinead O'Connor, Alex Grey (artist), Georgia O'Keefe, Timothy Leary, John Lennon and Mahatma Gandhi.
