Scorpio

This Mercury retrograde sheds light on Scorpio’s burnout. They must come to terms with the fact that their mind, body, and spirit are tired. Avoid overwhelm at all costs. Taking burdens off your shoulders with the help of loved ones will take the world's weight off your shoulders. However, you must take your pride and ego aside.
