Yeah, I think most people are just generally referring to the shift with Venus going direct and then Mercury going retrograde immediately after. So, like, November 15-16 is when that happens.
I always consider the period when Mercury goes retrograde to be a stress point since anything communication-wise gets extra energy going through it.
I would at least expect a press article of some sort to come out about their behavior behind the scenes during the tour. Or it could be a press article about something else. These two are a problem-generating machine, so it’s hard to guess what problem exactly the press will choose to highlight at any particular time.
