Mercury in Scorpio

Here Mercury is in a Water sign, in the domicile of Mars and Pluto. Therefore, you are most likely characterized by a sharp and caustic mind, sometimes mordancy and sarcasm, fastidiousness, and the ability to instantly calculate the weak points and flaws of any theory. That is, you possess an excellent critical intellect, and moreover, excellent intuition. You have a razor-sharp tongue and very acute thinking; you instantly find the vulnerable points of a theory, and spontaneously so. You carefully check and evaluate thoughts, not rushing to express them immediately. Since Scorpio is a Water sign, despite Mars being its ruler, thoughts must undergo a test, and a rather rigorous one. This means you are critical of your own thoughts, subjecting them to scrutiny, but if you have formed an individual construct, all its nodal points are well-tested, making it very strong. This placement of Mercury is often found in physicists and natural scientists. You rarely take anyone at their word, you check everything, and you might meet new information with the question: "Is this nonsense?" You ponder information for a long time, although outwardly it seems nothing is happening with you. You may feel nothing or only a slight tension within yourself, and then suddenly, a thought is born in a flash. But this process is preceded by a period of accumulation. Of course, with such an approach, information that has passed through you will be quite reliable. If you lie, it's difficult for others to guess, as everything is precisely calculated. You are probably also characterized by a capacity for inventiveness and a directed volitional instinct. An afflicted Mercury in Scorpio gives a person such qualities in communication as intensity in interaction, intellectual cruelty in arguments, a tendency towards mordancy, teasing jokes, a desire to sting a person, and in the worst case, a tendency towards mockery. In such cases, you may find it difficult to connect with people due to secretiveness, distrust, suspicion, and the need for thorough vetting of the interlocutor. But if someone has passed the test and earned your trust, the relationships will be strong and stable. As a Fixed sign, it is characterized by slow recovery and instantaneous realization. As a result of a prolonged accumulation of negative experiences, you can suddenly break off relations with a person, displaying vindictiveness and resentment. Generally, Mercury in Scorpio gives an interest in occult teachings. And since Mercury is a messenger planet, you can be a conduit for information from another world. As this is also the domicile of Pluto, you may also have abilities for hypnosis through speech, through words. Your speech contains words that imprint themselves on the subconscious and produce a hypnotic effect. Thus, you can give a person certain constructs, theories, and lead them to the results you desire, programming through speech, and you know how to influence their point of view from within. The manifestations of your intuition in interactions also contribute to this.

Children born under Mercury in Scorpio possess a deep and inquisitive mind. They strive to penetrate the essence of things. They want to know everything and try to get to the root cause. One can say that they were born with the question "why" on their lips. They are interested in everything: nature, people, life, and death. The process of searching for these little researchers brings them more pleasure than the answer itself. All the unknown and mysterious captivates their attention. The perception of these children is sharp to the extreme. By the way, it makes sense to listen to their words: they have flashes of insight, and it's not excluded that you will learn a lot of new and interesting things that you didn't suspect before. These children can see not only the obvious. Their sixth sense allows them to not just slide over the surface, but to penetrate the essence of things and events, to grasp the secrets of existence. They can be very secretive and do not like to make promises. Almost impossible to know what these children think, if they, of course, do not want to share with you. Their thoughts are indeed complex - you can get lost in them, which often happens. Be patient - they will probably tell you everything as soon as they sort out their own head. They are usually very critical and suspicious: they search for hidden motives in the actions of others. Try to explain to your child that he has no right to judge others. Such children are mocking, sometimes sarcastic. Show them how painful their attacks can hurt other people. Tell the child that if he wants to have friends, he should learn to restrain himself. Explain that a deep and original mind does not give the right to look down on people, that their sharpness and caustic questions catch others off guard, even frighten. And there is no heroism in this. To the questions of such children, always answer directly and honestly. It makes no sense to cheat - they see everything through. If you want children to never lie to you - be absolutely honest yourself. These children always ask a lot of questions. They want to know the answers to "how" and "why", want to know about their true purpose in this world. Be prepared in advance to tell them about the mystery of birth, about the differences between boys and girls, etc. Try to be absolutely objective. Ask them to help find a way out of the situation, and they will apply all their unique abilities to solve the problem. Ask the child what he thinks about his behavior and discipline. It is quite likely that he will be much stricter in his assessments than you could have assumed. Children with Mercury in Scorpio can be trusted: if they make a decision, they will follow it to the end; if they promise something, they will certainly keep their word. However, if such a child feels that you are lying to him or decides that you are unfair to him, or suspects betrayal - do not expect mercy. He will remember for a long time and will hardly forgive. Explain to the child that forgiving is being strong. Try!

Mercury in Scorpio indicates an intellect that is perceptive and persuasive, persistent and insistent, sharp and caustic, combative and aggressive, witty and inventive, able to concentrate on any task, quickly grasping the essence of any matter, instantly catching and understanding the mistakes of others to use them for their own purposes. With this Mercury constellation, self-confidence and stubbornness, courage and recklessness, cunning and deceit, a thirst for knowledge, mental and spiritual development, curiosity and inquisitiveness, criticalness and suspiciousness, distrust with an elusive, mysterious and secretive nature always prevail. This person can always be relied upon, counted on, and leaned on. This is the mind of Faust - with a clear interest in everything unknown, secret, with a tendency towards scientific research. This is an eternally restless and inquisitive soul, with a tendency to rummage and probe everywhere, to explore the depths of mysteries, to unravel enigmas. These people are mystics and occultists on the one hand, materialists on the other. They simultaneously possess the intuition of a psychologist and a detective, the sharpness and acuteness of an experienced critic, the ability of a scientist and a virtuoso sadist. They are the best representatives of medicine, especially surgery and phytotherapy; criminologists, employees of detective bureaus, specialists in natural sciences, occult and secret sciences, philosophy and cult issues.

Insight. They speak harshly, without sparing the feelings of others. Plans and projects are carried out quietly. They are biased when it comes to them personally, as emotions get in the way. They are distinguished by determination, purposefulness and a wealth of ideas. Suspicious and merciless, cunning and critical mind. Able to overcome insurmountable resistance. Good detectives, investigators and researchers. You have the ability to be completely immersed in your work. It seems that you understand everything you need intuitively, without words. Prefer visual learning from master to apprentice rather than through books or lectures. You have the ability to copy, light, skillful hands. You can make a good sculptor, potter, carpenter, or stained glass artist. You are also interested in biology (and related fields). You intuitively establish contact with animals, and sometimes it is easier for you to deal with them than with people. You tend to isolate yourself in a narrow professional circle, and you become an interesting conversationalist, unless the conversation goes beyond the scope of your specialty. Diseases of the genital organs and neuralgia are characteristic.

Mercury gives Scorpio great opportunities for rationalizing their internal processes and, with developed Mercury, for managing them. He gives Scorpio a powerful tool for expressing their emotions - language, thought, and generally, the transmission of their states through any symbolic system; their gestures and mimicry are very expressive. Mercury also sharpens Scorpio's perception in their area, not very under Scorpio's control - mental constructs, formal schemes, and generally, phenomena not accompanied by strong energetic flows, but requiring abstract thinking. With good development, this sharply expands Scorpio's possibilities, while with poor development, it severely limits them, since everything requires learning, and at first, Scorpio has an orientation towards mental flows, but they tell him nothing on the emotional-energetic language he understands, and on the other hand, he is unable to adequately express his feelings, which leads to strong mental distortions, frustration, and externally unmotivated aggression. In general, this is a promising but difficult position.

"How your child thinks, learns and communicates" Your child will strive to get past the superficial and get to the heart of the matter. "Tell it like it is!" - he can demand from others. If he feels that he has not received all the information, he will research and dig for details until he finds out everything he wants to know. However, this child may not be so open with you. He will never let others know everything he knows. In this child you can see a deep, insightful and skeptical mind. His manner of expression can be very passionate and persuasive. At times, emotions get in the way of thinking, and then his speech is filled with sarcasm and caustic remarks. It is necessary to develop his self-control, especially regarding emotions. Your child will learn best in an environment that allows for independent study and a fair amount of privacy.

Intensive thinking, insight. Everything is checked thoroughly. They have no leniency towards false facts and mistakes. They love to cut the truth and do not spare other people's feelings. At best, they may remain silent. They carry out their plans quietly, devoting them to others only in cases of extreme necessity. If it concerns them personally, they are biased, because emotions get in the way. With bad aspects of Mercury - intrigues, conspiracies, second thoughts, suspicion.
