Love has a habit of circling back when Mercury is retrograde — and even more so when Venus is involved.
On Nov. 24, Mercury retrograde aligns with Venus in Scorpio, creating a moment that feels both emotionally raw and strangely magnetic. Scorpio energy is private, intense, and built for truth-telling, which makes this conjunction a powerful checkpoint in love, memory, and desire.
If you’ve buried feelings, avoided a conversation, or convinced yourself you were “over it,” don’t be surprised if something resurfaces now. This isn’t about punishment — it’s about clarity.
Mercury in Scorpio heightens instinct. It cuts through small talk and gets straight to what’s real, often revealing what someone means even if they’re not saying it outright. Think of it like the emotional equivalent of a Freudian slip: the truth leaks through. And because Mercury is retrograde, old information, unfinished conversations, and overlooked signals return — this time with sharper meaning.
Venus in Scorpio craves depth, not surface-level comfort. This placement wants devotion, honesty, and intimacy that feels like a full-body commitment. It doesn’t do casual. So when Mercury retrograde meets Venus here, the past can feel very close. You might hear from someone you once loved, or gain insight that changes how you understand a relationship entirely.
Here’s how this transit may show up for your sign:
Aries (March 20–April 19)
Something you assumed was settled might suddenly feel unresolved. A late-night message, a vivid memory, or a strange emotional pull could bring an old connection back into your mind. You may find yourself rereading old chats or revisiting a moment you thought you’d closed out. Let yourself notice what still feels unfinished.
Taurus (April 19–May 20)
An old relationship theme returns through someone else. Maybe an ex reaches out for “closure,” or a new interest mirrors something familiar from your past. Either way, it’s a reminder of what you truly want — and what you no longer want to repeat. This is your chance to renegotiate your standards.
Gemini (May 20–June 20)
The past reappears through routine, logistics, or everyday life. An old habit, a health issue, or a lingering detail resurfaces — possibly tied to someone you once cared about. An ex might check in under a practical excuse, but there’s more underneath. Trust your gut about what (and who) deserves your energy.
Cancer (June 20–July 22)
A former love or emotionally charged connection could re-enter your world, especially through nostalgia or creativity. They might like an old post or pop up subtly online, stirring feelings you didn’t expect. This transit reminds you of who you were then — and what that chapter still means.
Leo (July 22–Aug. 22)
Old emotional history blends with home and family matters now. Someone who once felt like comfort or safety may reappear, or you might be hit by a memory that lands deeper than before. If reconnecting feels right, don’t shy away from it — especially with someone who knew your softer side.
Virgo (Aug. 22–Sept. 22)
A conversation you avoided, unfinished words, or an unsent message could circle back. Someone from your past might reach out wanting clarity, or you may stumble on an old thread that suddenly clicks. Even small exchanges feel weighted right now. Say what needs to be said — gently, but honestly.
Libra (Sept. 22–Oct. 22)
A person you once invested in — emotionally, financially, or both — may try to reconnect. You might also find something symbolic from the past (a gift, a playlist, a photo) that reopens feelings. This transit helps you remember what you value in love, and what you won’t compromise again.
Scorpio (Oct. 22–Nov. 21)
You’re the epicenter of this transit. Someone you once shared powerful chemistry with could return, and it may feel like no time has passed. A chance encounter, a message, or even a sudden emotional nudge could pull the past into the present. Ask yourself: what’s still open — and what’s ready to finally close?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)
This hits quietly, almost psychically. You might think of someone right before they reach out, or stumble across a reminder that puts them back on your radar. Pay attention to what that person represents in your story. The memory is vivid for a reason.
Capricorn (Dec. 21–Jan. 19)
You’re revisiting a “what if” — not out of nostalgia, but for truth. A mutual friend, group setting, or unexpected social connection could bring a past flame back into view. The same could happen with a friendship that once drifted into romantic territory. You’re being asked to define what it really was.
Aquarius (Jan. 19–Feb. 18)
Someone from your past could reappear just as you’re re-evaluating your future. It might happen through work, social media, or a coincidence that feels meaningful. A conversation could show you how much you’ve grown — or how clearly they still remember you. Notice how your sense of self shifts afterward.
Pisces (Feb. 18–March 20)
A long-lost connection might resurface with surprising intensity. You could reconnect through travel, a message, or even a casual scroll online. What’s different now is your perspective: you’re seeing the past with more wisdom, which helps you understand what really happened — and what you want next.
