The Oracle leans YES
The Oracle's reading
Retrogrades are for going back — old flames, old towns, old sounds. A nostalgic record from a band that peaked in the 2000s, dropped mid-retrograde, is the most on-theme release of the season. Scorpio rewards depth over hype; the question is whether fans come home.
Founding Oracles board · Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, Oct 24 – Nov 13, 2026. Mercury stations retrograde at 20°59′ Scorpio on Oct 24 and stations direct at 5°02′ Scorpio on Nov 13. The post-retrograde shadow runs to early December.
