What Each Zodiac Sign Can Manifest On October 22, 2023
Let the truth lead you into the light with Mercury in Scorpio.
Life only reveals what is meant to be seen at any given moment. Whether it's about your job, relationship or internal feelings, there is always more than what is first revealed. The truth must be shown to confidently know what to manifest or how to go about crafting the life of your dreams. Let the darkness peel back and reveal the truth that has been there all along so you can finally see the auspicious reality surrounding you.
On Sunday, October 22, Mercury, the planet of communication, shifts into the deep waters of Scorpio, inviting you on a quest to discover the truth. Mercury rules not just your conversations but also your inner thoughts and written communication.
While in Scorpio, it is on the search for what the truth is. This comes across as the desire to ask more questions, with no topics off the table for discussion. Yet despite the questions, your motive will be hidden, as well as those around you. Mercury in Scorpio keeps its cards close until it's time to be revealed but can expose whatever is necessary so the truth is finally unleashed, wild and free.
Scorpio is the sign of the alchemist, a zodiac sign representing truth and the secrets that can often cover it up. However, Scorpio is more comfortable within the darkness than other zodiac signs, which means you can hold greater space for understanding rather than letting fear or anxiety keep you from seeing what is meant to be revealed.
Use this astrological opportunity to discover your profound truth over how you feel and what you want. Sort through the words of others until you can make sense of their intentions. The truth is the strongest tool to manifest and create the life you desire because anything that grows from it will be guaranteed to last forever.
