What Mercury in Scorpio means for you
With Mercury in Scorpio, you think like a detective.
You look behind words for motives and missing facts. You can tell when someone has practised a story in advance. You are an excellent researcher and a strong opponent in a debate.
You share little until you trust someone, and you keep secrets for life. When you do speak, people pay attention. When you feel threatened, your humour can become sarcastic. You know exactly where people are sensitive, so use this ability rarely.
Love
You want conversations that matter: fears, wishes, things nobody else knows. Small talk bores you. You need trust and privacy. When you are suspicious, you may ask many questions or quietly test a partner. Ask directly for what you need to know. Your partner will respect your honesty, and you will learn more than any investigation could show you.
Work & money
Research, investigation, psychology, finance, strategy, law and crisis management suit you. You find problems that others miss, and you keep confidential information private. Office politics may make you very strategic. Explain your reasoning more than you naturally would. People trust conclusions they can follow, and your conclusions are usually right.
