       What does this month hold in store for you? We invite you to visit the Forecast page to find out!

     * Special note:  Mercury goes Retrograde on October 24, 2026.  It turns Direct on Nov. 13, 2026.  If you are unfamiliar with the Mercury Retrograde cycle, these two articles, Beggs n' Econ and Bumbled Articulation, will explain what Mercury Retrograde creates in a person's life and what needs to be learned.   

     Things That Go Bump  in the Night  

     The closer the days come to the end of October, the more Scorpio energy we experience. The sun's movement through Scorpio, (October 24th through November 22nd), or the Scorpio energy we experience can be thanked for all of the mystery that accompanies Halloween or All Hallow's Eve. And we can also thank the Scorpio energy for spicing this holiday with spooks and ghouls and "things that go bump in the night."

     What does the Scorpio energy have to do with Halloween or All Hallow's Eve? Scorpios or the Scorpio energy is fascinated with witches, wizards, magic, and the metaphysical world.

     So get into the flow of Scorpio energy and place a few bails of hay and some dried corn stalks in front of the house or along your driveway, make a scarecrow using leaves as the stuffing, and hang a couple of ghosts (pillow cases) in a tree. Then choose a complementary to your sun sign costume from the list below.

     Just a reminder: you may want to select a costume before October 24th when Mercury goes Retrograde, otherwise you're liable to change your mind, several times, about your costume. Why? Mercury Retrograde is a time when decisions are difficult to make and keep.

Have a Happy Halloween, Miss Dee
