ALMUTEMMercury in Scorpio
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. In Scorpio, it expresses itself with intensity and depth, all or nothing.
In Scorpio — a fixed water sign ruled by Mars —, Mercury wanders peregrine, and gives an intense and mystical mind, that plunges into the deep waters of human psychology and is reborn from each catharsis. It reads the intentions of others with ease and descends to the bottom so as then to guide others along the same path with sureness. The thinking is penetrating, secret, and strategic — it says little and keeps much. Being peregrine, it depends on its dispositor, Mars. If something is not visceral enough, it grows bored; and when it reacts, it either exposes the rawness of what it feels or falls silent with a penetrating gaze. The risk is suspicion and obsession. Its strength is deep perceptiveness: a Mercury that sees what is hidden and that makes of the word a scalpel — or a well-kept secret.
