Mercury in Scorpio Personality Traits
When Mercury is in Scorpio, you have an intensity about you because your emotions run strong, and for you, everything is personal. You tend to be secretive, but also unapologetic about this and everything else about yourself. You can’t help but manipulate others in conversation.
Everything is Personal
When you are a Mercury in Scorpio, your emotions have something to say about everything that happens in your life. You find it difficult to detach from your feelings and think about things in terms of just the facts. This actually sharpens your instincts.
But it also means that for you, everything is personal. Every word and action affects you on a deeper level. This is why you have a lot of difficulty letting anything slide or forgiving.
Secretive
Your natural tendency is to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. For you, while you are probably highly ambitious, you have no desire to be famous and would prefer to keep yourself to yourself. You can’t stand it when you feel like people are snooping around your life.
The saying that “you should keep your wins quiet because most people aren’t happy for you” really resonates with you. So, you are happiest when you are just focused on yourself and don’t have to worry about pleasing others.
Confrontational
You probably have a naturally confrontational way of communicating with others. This stems part from your intense emotional energy, and part from your need to be told the truth. In your experience, a little bit of confrontation usually gets people to be honest with you.
You have a natural ability to push other people’s buttons and pull their strings. If you see a weak spot that you know will trigger the other person, it can be hard for you to ignore it. This is not done from a place of malice. You want to see more deeply, and you know that this will help you.
Unapologetic
You never apologize for yourself. You accept and love yourself for who you are, and you aren’t inclined to lower your head for anyone. In your opinion, there was always a justification for whatever you did, so you don’t carry around a lot of guilt or baggage.
While you do have the ability to acknowledge when you made a mistake or hurt someone, you are the type of person to say “I’m sorry you felt that way”, rather than “I’m sorry that I did that”. You genuinely feel for the other person, but given the same circumstances, you would probably do the same thing again.
