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 twelfth house, there is an intuitive quality to the way you think. You rely more on your gut than anything else, and your subconscious plays a vital role in your thought process. Pay special attention to your dreams, as they can reveal a lot of information to you.

Your imagination is running wild with ideas. You might feel misunderstood sometimes, which can make you apprehensive about speaking up in a conversation. You much prefer one on one interactions than having to deal with a group of people. Too many opinions can overwhelm you, which is why you prefer to do most of your thinking on your own.
