It's 'perfect' when you're together because your composite Merc is probably better placed - around 28º Scorp, or so.

What's the real issue here? Your Mercs DO communicate ENTIRELY differently.

Scorp Mercs are private people. I can see the not liking to talk over the phone, but he won't text either? Not sure if that's typical, per se. You may be dealing with some other personality issues.

What's going on?

It's the mental image of what we all consider to be VIRGO.

Also, they're VERY set in their ways....

That same acquaintance that has merc in Scorpio, listens to music from when she was in HIGH SCHOOL!!!!

It's not as if music hasn't gotten better... But it's beause of the emotional reaction she has and had to it and the memories it brings.. It's a water sign meaning that they only way they can communicate with someone theough words, it's usually with another person that has experienced or FELT similar things like they did...

Their familiar with using their stinger so to play on their level, you'd be best to know how to do so as well to deliver your point from time to time because words nor ideas get to them... It's the emotions that do.

You've gotta be able to tap into it if they allow u in because if not, the interaction would be pointless.

I kept it touch with the mercury in scorpip because we were able to talk about anything.. All her eoptions could be released because i didn't judge and laughed about it with her.

Oh, and by the way, once they've made a friend of u, they'll be very jealous if someone even remotely tries to get as close. They consider that special bond sacred (and it is special!) and anyone trying to get a piece of it will have to fight for it.

If in relationship, they snoop....

My acquaintance/friend snoops theough her boyfriends email and bank statements.. Even checks his call history and goes INSANE if she doesn't know what a certain number is.

Yes. They test. A lot! At first, it would be best to treat it as a casual anything and not engage even if it does bother you. It can be downright insulting butnif u don't care enough to react, you'll pass and then the tests stop, entirely. But once you get the flow going, you begin to understand them and they'll reveal their buttons to you.

It's one tricky thing to get it butnif anyone is aware of it, believe it, it's me: Sun conjunct South Node in Virgo with Mercury in Libra trine Jupiter, with a square to Chiron and an opposition to Mars.

Scorpio Mercury doesn't necessarily mean, limited or mute communication. It usually and most frequently means deep communication or a desire for it; wanting to connect deeply on an intellectual level; being mentally intense and probing but sometimes suspicious, stubborn and unrelenting.

But I will say that when Scorpio Mercury people feel misunderstood, they get easily touchy and will not communicate. They can withhold information from you or suddenly, lash out verbally in a calculated way especially if they have Merc-Mars. Also I've noticed some Scorpio Mercuries who have antagonistic aspects to their Mercuries that inhibit, like hard Saturn-Mercury aspects for example, might take longer to actually verbally or otherwise respond to a question/text/etc. They might take even longer to think deeply and think things over...

These people will eventually, warm up. It's in their nature to test the waters with someone and keep themselves from getting hurt, so they might be avoiding talking and texting too frequently and risking sharing or communicating too much about themselves to avoid being vulnerable. Not being vulnerable is one major issue I've found with Scorp dominated people since they seem like they sometimes have secret be profound insecurities and issues with opening up. So it might just take them time.

Scorpio Mercury@29.56Rx

MERCURY RETROGRADE

When Mercury is retrograde, the thought processes are introspective, deliberate and internalized. Before any personal matter can be discussed, it must be processed internally. This means that, if you want to discuss a personal matter with a Mercury Retrograde friend, you must tell them what you want to discuss and set up an appointment to discuss it. If you want an immediate answer, you will not get an honest or well though out answer. They need time to brood and ponder.

Because these people need to digest and process first, they are slow to defend themselves and slow to respond to queries of a personal nature unless they are prepared ahead of time. They appreciate a slow reaction in another.

They can easily discuss non-personal subjects, their own interests and expertise, without introspection. This has already been done in the past.

On personal subjects, they may not know immediately how they feel about something— they need that brood and ponder time.

Perception is quite good because they are sensitive to how they feel about things; the perceptions are highly individualized.

They prefer a Reflective Analysis. In intellectual matters, they are rarely superficial but they tend to analyze, re-analyze, reflect and then apply internally.

There is a perfectionistic side so they can talk in absolutes— using terms such as “always” and “never.”

Many Mercury retrograde people feel that they had no one to talk to as a child. The thoughts and mental activity became internalized and highly subjective. They may be prone to day dream. Some may be so absorbed in their own internalized thoughts that they seem absent-minded and unaware of external activities. This is especially true if Mercury is retrograde in the cadent (3, 6, 9, 12) Houses. And, especially if aspecting Neptune, a planet that can go off into its own world and lose track of time.

Afflictions in Houses 3-6-12 can cause learning disabilities— Dyslexia, ADLD (Attention Deficit Learning Disorder). One child was later discovered to be deaf in one ear and tried to compensate by listening a lot.

This can be the signature of the scientific thinker. Many of the astronauts in the late 1960-early 1970s had Mercury Retrograde.

SPEED OF MERCURY: The speed that Mercury is moving can indicate the speed at which an individual can process information. One friend whose Mercury moved 2 degrees on the day she was born was a very fast and sharp thinker. She had a rare ability to think quickly with little time for reflection.

Those born with Mercury Retrograde take longer to process information but their solutions to problems often have more insight and wisdom.

FEEDBACK: “I have learned that, when something is presented quickly, I need to ask to think about it.”

Mercury in the 2nd can be the bargain hunter

Mercury in Houses 3-4 often needs quiet in order to think. This is often true of Venus R in these Houses as well. They have a problem concentrating when there are distractions and arguments in the home.

Mercury in the 3rd is very prone to study and research but they need quiet. They may appear slow only because they need to have all of the facts first.

Mercury in the 5th can think more than create but this develops in time. This is a signature of a good teacher. They a good with games that require detailed concentration.

Mercury in the 6th— here you will see more of the perfectionist qualities coming out in their work; they appear slow because they require all of the facts.

Mercury in the 7th has difficulty making up their minds about marriage, then they may marriage hastily and rethink it later. They often have difficulty discussing the problems in the marriage.

Mercury in the 8th is best suited for 8th House research and study.

Mercury in the 9th can be the fact collector and they may not be able to get all of the answers that they want. Any planet in the 9th House can indicate an interruption in education. They often return to school later to complete their education.

Mercury in the 10th may see a job as a learning experience where they will acquire the knowledge and experience that they need to know. They are thorough and reliable.

No prob Gabby Glad I could help out.

It's good you realize that Pluto influences could naturally make you more paranoid/suspicious... it happens to the best of us. Honestly being Scorpio dominated makes this very possible for people.

I noticed you posted below they have a Retrograde Mercury? Could very well make things even more difficult for them to communicate openly. My current boyfriend has this, but in Virgo, and he even has vision problems/issues reading because of it [he has a 6H Saturn quincunx his Mercury]. So this Mercury can be a complicated one. It can also make you prone to feeling like the way you think/communicate might be odd or more easily misunderstood. They might naturally take a long time to respond to the question you ask out loud. So there you have it - a double whammy for you unfortunately.

So, if you know this, you're only a step away from sorting it out. Make sure you're into that person and not just into them because they give you that familiar reaction.

I also noticed @cathy said, she doesn't like texting or talking on the phone much. I have to agree with her. Even though I have Merc-Mars and H11 Merc, I sometimes just need to escape communicating and retreat to my own private world. An overwhelming amount of phone calls will agitate me and make me blunt and to the point.

You may not be hurting at all but just responding out of habit.

Oh, you mean like "a pain that im used to"...it feels familiar, so its comfortable! in our sub conscious familiar is good, its what we arent familiar with that repels us even if its better, could make us happier and where we need to be...the pain that we know feels much more comfortable and what we gravitate towards? Is that what your saying? If it is, thank you for reminding me, ill be keeping an eye out for those lil demons, to make sure im not falling into any old holes!
