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 seventh house, mental connection plays a vital role in the way you pick your partners. You have an absolute need to connect and to be able to have fulfilling conversations in your relationships. Boredom is something you just won’t tolerate.

Being with someone who shares a curiosity for life is something that excites you. You are especially drawn to partners who are smart and opinionated. You appreciate people with a quick wit and an active mind, because you are interested in what they can teach you. You want to be able to discuss the fascination you have with the world around you. Simply put, you want mental companionship.
