Mercury in Scorpio

These natives have fiercely acute minds and penetrating intellects. Their powers of reasoning are sharp and make them the most observant and perceptive of all the Mercury types. They need to communicate in depth to feel mentally satisfied and are profound thinkers who love to find the root cause of things. They excel at problem solving and always want to know what is going on; and they can see through all phoniness, sham, and pretense. They have wonderful investigative minds and are born masters of psycology.

It is hard to deceive people with Mercury in Scorpio because they do not miss a beat. Since their number one priority is to win by using their fine mental powers, they cannot afford to be fooled-so they like to be aware of what others are thinking. They love to discover the intellectual weaknesses of others so they can attack when necessary: This makes them dangerous opponents. They are constantly passing judgment on others and this habit lets them know exactly what to say to wound others. They can be ruthless in their methods and cannot tolerate opposition; they have contempt for those who disagree with them-and it is difficult if not impossible to convince them of anything.

They can be extremely negative and overcritical, a destructive trait that overcompensates for their being incurably suspicious, secretive, or elusive about their inner thoughts. If they are pure of heart and have a more positive mentality, they can use their vision to bring problems to the attention of others and to help them arrive at solutions. Usually they hide their incredible knowledge and they are respected for their ability to tackle the most difficult and mysterious questions in life. But most people stay away from Mercury in Scorpio natives in order to avoid their sarcasm, sharp tongues, and indifference toward opposing opinions, though their criticism is usually based on accurate observation-it's just dished out most uncharitably. They tend to be reckless with words that can cut deep, and their volatile tempers can cause them to go into frightening rages.

Would not want to p*** off Goldberg or Picasso.

But as a child I couldn’t stand her comments. They were never malicious, just overly critical – I would just tune her out, and do my own thing. She’s a lot better now. I’ve taught her to reel in the criticism.

He's very direct. Especially romantically and sexually.

He asks a lot of questions.

I would also have to disagree that Merc in Scorpio natives talk incessantly...infact, the opposite...Merc in Scorpio listens and observes, takes good notes, then files for future use.

To me, having yet another planet in the first just puts more focus on self. Self, self, self!!! Which seems odd because the further I focus on myself the better off I am. Hence, why I love doing massages, home health, and being something of a job counselor.
