Mercury in Scorpio

Mercury in Scorpio acts motivated by his feelings but has enormous inner strength and great self-confidence, insightful, penetrating, caustic, courageous; something intolerant, independent, brusque and aggressive that usually goes against the current and rebels against everything. When he thinks he is right, he becomes really uncompromising, making it difficult to reach an understanding with him. In MA dubious morality, contradiction, cunning. This is an awesomely penetrating mind, capable of plumbing the very depths of any topic or problem. Mercury in Scorpio types are heavyweight thinkers who take life extremely seriously. They have a natural suspiciousness that draws them beyond obvious facts and realities to that which is unanswered, concealed or simply too complex to be immediately understood. These qualities make them ideally suited for work as researchers, investigators and psychologists. But at a personal level, their mental intensity can be rather intimidating, especially to more superficially minded types. In their quest to uncover hidden truths, Mercury in Scorpio individuals are utterly fearless about confronting even the ugliest and most taboo of subjects that would have most other people running scared. Despite their scientific leanings, Mercury in Scorpio types are ultimately guided by their feelings and intuition. When their gut instincts are telling them something is wrong, they will never give up until they have unravelled the mystery.

Mercury in Scorpio

The communicative style of Mercury in Scorpio types is concise, forthright and brutally truthful. Although people of few words, what they do say packs a powerful punch that can leave others reeling. With their intuitive gift for always seeming to hit the nail right on the head, their insights and judgments can be shockingly accurate. Though personally quite sensitive, Mercury in Scorpio individuals are rarely interested in sparing other people’s feelings: in their eyes verbal honesty is more important than massaging egos. These Mercury types delight in exposing any kind of pretentiousness, falseness or secretiveness – often using cruelly sarcastic language. Masters of the art of mental self-empowerment, their communications focus on gathering as much information as possible, while revealing the absolute minimum about themselves. In discussions they have a tendency to be inflexible and dogmatic and quickly go on the defensive if they’re challenged or under attack. Mercury in Scorpio individuals hate to lose any kind of argument, usually insisting on having the last word. Mercury in Scorpio people is extremely passionate about everything in their lives because they are born under the sign of the water bearer, Scorpio. They do not demonstrate to others how important certain things are to them. They would rather die than have their innermost thoughts discovered by someone else. This is a part of their strategic way of looking at things. Mercury in Scorpio is constantly thinking about their next move, as well as the moves of others. They are always prepared to face off against one another. They strive to be the best at everything they do, whether it’s with different people or with their own selves. It is precisely because they prepare for the worst that they are prepared for anything. Their pessimism gives them the ability to be prepared for whatever comes their way. When Mercury in Scorpio communicates with others, it is usually to offer advice or to assist them in solving their problems. When people are questioned about their lives, they reveal very little information. They may only share information with those who they believe may benefit from it and then they bury everything else deep within their own hearts. The expression “poker face” perfectly describes this star sign. Some people, particularly those who have a more optimistic outlook on life, may find this to be discouraging. They are usually able to comprehend why others perform tasks better than they do themselves. As a result, they feel obligated to anticipate every scenario that could arise. These people are on an eternal quest to get to the very heart of any matter. This appears in anything that requires thought, and in almost every conversation they have. Totally fearless when it comes to delving into depths that nobody else wants, or even thinks, to explore, Mercury in Scorpio is adept at learning the source and the core of any problem or issue. They are blessed (or cursed, depending on how you want to look at it) with the observation skills of a surveillance camera, seeming to just see all and know all. Sometimes they can be quite “dark” because of their tendency to focus on the false in order to get to the truth. These people detest superficiality. They come across as suspicious and can annoy other, more optimistic people with their negative take on things.

Mercury in Scorpio have an inquisitive mind

Scorpio communicators are passionate in their speech, sometimes even given to lecturing. Remember, though, that they are just as passionate about giving you real advice and help. They are quite willing to let you in on a few of their secrets–regarding other people, that is, not themselves. The truth is, they have observed things that many have not. If their observations seem a little bit skewed toward the negative, try to overlook it. You may just discover that they’ve given you some of the best advice around. They are at their best when they are talking about things that they are not personally involved with. That is when their shrewd judgment shines. It is when they are personally involved that their judgment can get clouded over. Their intelligence is absolutely instinctive. Strategies are their speciality. Their idea of constructive criticism can be interpreted as destructive criticism, depending on their audience. It can be very hard to win an argument or debate with Mercury in Scorpio. They are absolutely driven to win, not just for the sake of scoring intellectual points, but simply to come out on top in general. Besides that, it is hard to deny that their thinking is really quite lucid, at least in presentation. You may be gritting your teeth, but it will be hard not to concede.

They’ll staunchly support and defend anyone they care about. And, their energy in speech (or sheer intensity) can be motivating. You may walk away from a Mercury in Scorpio native, after they’ve given an impassioned speech, saying “whew!” But you’ll generally have received an awesome pep talk, if they like you. The pep talk may have been at someone else’s expense, however (they may have torn someone else apart to boost you up, for example). Scorpio’s take on people often has to do with motivations. Often, they feel people are motivated by jealousy. They should know, if they are also Scorpio Sun and/or Venus Scorpio, because they have lived it. They are naturally suspicious, expecting bad intentions first. Mercury in Scorpio people love intrigue, mystery, and hidden motives. If they don’t channel this interest into mental pursuits, they can end up creating their own mysteries. Others might start wondering if they are paranoid. Mercury in Scorpio loves anything that challenges the brain and are often interested in what makes people tick.
