Is there something about the communication between the Mercury in Taurus person, and the Mercury in Scorpio person?

The best thing I've read is, they each feel as if they're having an entirely different conversation than what's actually taking place.

With a Sun in Taurus person & Sun in Scorpio person, they seem to find a lot of common ground, they have mutual respect, and if it's romantic, can be fulfilling when it's not torrid.

Maybe even the same relative success with the same Oppositions in their Moons, or Mars, or Venus.

But is there any way to get around that pesky Mercury when it comes to this Opposition?

Maybe if one or both people have a strong communication leaning thru life, it's worse. Or if one person is not so communicative, it works.

If there's a showdown, both parties tend to stubbornly adopt a "take it or leave it" stance.

What do you think?

I have it with my best friend, though our Mercuries are not opposite by orb, they're just in opposite signs.

Her Mercury in Taurus opposes my Sun, Mars, Pluto and squares my Saturn.

My Mercury in Scorpio opposes her Sun and Mars.

We are very different in our communication styles.

Sometimes I get a little bit annoyed because of this difference, but it's manageable.

It may be different if the Mercuries oppose each other by orb though..

I don't know what to tell you.... My Mercury is in Pisces and I have the same problem with Virgo Mercury. It's more difficult than a Sun2Sun opposition. Mercury doesn't seem to confer the mutual respect that the Sun does.

You might still like a Taurus Merc.. who has their Merc in aspect to Pluto... OR.. who has a planet in Scorpio in natal which is opposite their Mercury.

Mercury oppositions are usually complimentary opposites but with Taurus and Scorpio you're going to deal with a stubborn factor.
Also if Mercury happens to be the Chart Ruler then there will be added implications.

Betty Boop -

Ah Ha! So, it's not just a Taurus/Scorpio Opposition thing when it comes to Mercury. Virgo seems very logic-oriented, while Pisces is intuitive, so I can see where that would be challenging as well.

I like it! Perhaps a glimmer of hope afterall. Will look into it.

It's such a shame. We all want to feel as if we're all humanly connected, and we hit this very challenging snag.

Maybe with Scorpio it's so difficult because they are so very analytical on such a deep level that they need that quiet contemplation. Mercury is not only about "communication" style, but the analytical style as well.

That's very interesting because the best conversations of my life were with a Scorpio Mercury opposite my Taurus mercury 1*. We talked for hours about anything and everything. The best mental connection I could possibly imagine, and my Gemini Venus was smitten

Funny you say that cuz as a Scorpio Mercury in the 6th, I never want to end my conversations with Taurus Mercury. Maybe it has to do with my Mercury being in the 6th, an Earth House?

Or maybe I'm desiring the ultimate, and perhaps most impossible, oral union.

Oppositions are never good both in natal or synastry chart. Are worse than squares. In natal chart means a lot of internal struggles and many changes of personality. In synastry, don't be fooled by: the opposites attract each other. Its the most difficult aspect. Its like living with your enemy. What you don'y like in yourself you are gonna find it in your opposite person. At first it will seem exciting but with time its not than exciting anymore.

I respectfully disagree. Nothing is that black and white. I think astrology just reinforces that belief in me. For example, that Scorpio I was talking about.. He has a Scorpio stellium all falling into my 4th house. Our ASC, vertexes, and eros and psyche are conjunct exact.Pretty deep. Our conversations have no end to them, nothing irritating. I highly doubt I will ever feel like he is an embodiment of my enemy. In fact we have the potential to balance each others' stelliums out.

For me personally, sexiles and trines between suns are beyond BLAH. I would be bored out of my mind. On the other hard, give me an Aqua with fire placements and I will keep coming back. Its all a matter of preference, natal chart, what have you

BackToEarth, I know exactly what you mean. I crave that above all else in my relationships

Not true. Especially if it's a romantic pairing.

Case in point, Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward. This is just one astrologically well-documented study.

I'd jot down a litany of other cases and reasons, but it's just common knowledge already.


The only thing I agree with is in the example of something like a Venus Square Uranus, just one of a few other Aspects which denotes an attraction that will "fly in the face of social convention".

Or "the relationship lives because of a forbidden quality."

Or "Making (the relationship) legitimate takes away the 'zing' of unconventionality, the two lose interest, and the affair dies."


I can agree with this premise and it's a great example of how union's start off hot & heavy but then fizzle.

I said nothing about sextiles and trine. If are boring or interesting it depends of the individuals. Now... I dunno what is your experience but i have seen too many charts and too many cases with oppositions that don't work or work very hard. I repet. I never give info from the internet, just from experience as an astrologer. I might be wrong also, I am not perfect.

I'm a Mercury Taurus...and the Mercury Scorp people I know are just great!

From my great aunt that use to babysit me. Stubborn Irish woman, that would not take crap from people, but was also very caring.

One of my new best friends...I think ours oppose each other. (Also her moon is Taurus and mine is Scorpio.)

And this GUY!, ours don't oppose each other. But our convos are insanely awesome. And we message each other essays on fb. And he tells me how he looks forward to reading my messages, and likes how chatty I am.


btw I have a friend who is a Taurus Sun and she has this toxic on and off friendship with this Scorpio Sun girl. My friend will be like "we are done for good this time!" And one time I couldn't help it, and said "I give you two months." LOL My friend sadly has had a hard life, and I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that she is an alcoholic. We think she keeps this Scorpio girl in her life, cause she doesn't want to drink alone, and needs unstable chick friends to drink with.
