“If I were to say to you: can you keep a secret? Would you know just what to do- or where to keep it?”

Poison Arrow, by ABC.

If you have Mercury in Scorpio you know the answers to these questions. Not only can you keep a secret, you know where to keep it: locked away somewhere deep in your mind and guarded by a giant slobbering dog the size of a mountain, with teeth as sharp as stilettos. Or am I confusing Scorpio with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone?

When he was a toddler, no grown up was brave enough to tell Mercury in Scorpio to use his words. So he doesn’t.

That isn’t to say he doesn’t know how. Everything he does say means something – and he assumes the same of you. Don’t say it unless you intend to stand by it.

When a Scorpio finally gives their heart and their trust – the two are interconnected –they expect you to do the same. With that comes an assumption that you feel everything as intensely as they do. Like all water Mercuries, there is an expectation that the channels of non-verbal communication are wide open.

This translates to: they don’t just assume that you can read their minds; it simply doesn’t occur to them that you can’t.
