A Scorpio Mercurial placement naturally brings a lot of intensity to the individual’s communication style. You may not be apt to share what is on your mind often, but when you do it is very powerful and insightful. You tend to keep a lot to yourself, which makes you very trustworthy with sensitive information.

The downside of holding things in is that your mindset can be heavily affected by your fears and insecurities. For this reason, it is crucial that you take the time you need to work through your vulnerabilities and distinguish fact from fear-based fiction. When it comes to social interactions, you usually prefer to have intimate and meaningful connections with a small group of people that make you feel safe.

With Mercury in your fourth house, intellectual connection is important in your family and home life. The people you live with probably shape the way you think and communicate with the world. Your opinions may be rather conventional, since you prefer to follow your family’s traditional way of thinking.

It likely that there are stories and anecdotes passed down from generation to generation in your life. This may give you a keen interest in history and learning about where you come from. Engagement with your family members serve as an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from one another.
