What Does the Scorpio-Libra Retrograde Emphasize?

This retrograde starts in intense/deep Scorpio and retreats back to balanced/relational Libra — a period where themes of trust and justice intertwine:

  • In Scorpio phase: Joint resources, debts, or the re-emergence of a previously hidden issue; risk of misunderstandings in deep conversations.
  • In Libra phase: Revisiting a past item in a partnership or relationship agreement; need for clarity in communication seeking justice/balance.

What to Watch Out For During This Period?

  • Plan major agreements related to finances or joint resources for after the retrograde if possible.
  • Be prepared for a past disagreement to resurface in relationships.
  • Exercise extra caution in matters requiring contracts and signatures — the Libra phase particularly emphasizes themes of agreements/partnerships.
  • It may not be surprising if a hidden truth comes to light during this period.
