Three zodiac signs are said to be leaving a difficult stretch behind once Mercury stations direct in Scorpio on Friday, November 13. The past few months have felt like one setback after another, according to the article, but conditions are expected to improve afterward. Astrologer Elizabeth Brobeck described November 13 as a turning point, saying circumstances become considerably better and easier. She said the shift applies to work, relationships, finances and communication in particular.
Gemini is named first, since Mercury rules that sign. When the planet of communication goes direct on November 13, communication problems are expected to reverse course entirely. Difficulties connecting with a partner or making a point at work are not expected to last much longer. Brobeck called it a glow-up moment and said the retrograde, though intense for Gemini, will have opened a better chapter.
Virgo is also named, with 2026 described as slow going for the sign in both relationships and career. The article says Virgo faced roadblocks, detours and backtracking on the way. Once Mercury, Virgo's ruling planet, goes direct in Scorpio on November 13, progress is expected to resume at full speed. Astrologer Helena Hathor said money will finally start moving forward and that people will be giving Virgo gifts. The article also points to recognition at work and possibly a promotion, backed by support from both the universe and real people.
Scorpio is the third sign, with Brobeck saying things improve drastically for it starting November 13. Mercury has been retrograde in Scorpio since October, a period the article describes as one of deep reflection. Although action was not possible during that time, the article says Scorpio learned a great deal and now knows what it wants and where it wants to be. With the planet of communication direct, the article says nothing holds Scorpio back and the universe is in full support.
The article adds that the hard times are over but the work is not. Scorpio is described as knowing that transformation is required for success and as happy to do it, having been ready to level up for some time. Brobeck said Scorpio will surround itself with people more aligned with it in this new chapter, which the article says makes a large difference.
