The messenger · Water, fixed

You listen paying attention to what was left out. In a meeting, while everyone else notes what was said, you register that nobody mentioned the deadline, and you ask about it at the end, when it is too late to improvise. When a subject grabs you, you do not read an article: you read everything, including the article's sources.

The light of this placement

You get to the bottom of a problem that others walked around, and your pinpoint question saves months of wrong work.

The shadow — what to work on

You keep what you have discovered to use at the moment it will have the most effect, and that advantage exacts a price in the trust of the people around you.

Mercury: what it means in the chart

It shows how you understand things and how you explain what you understood. It also shows how you deal with paperwork, with the family group chat, and with that difficult conversation that needs to be had.

Scorpio

Scorpio is the sign that won't accept the surface version of anything. It wants to know what lies underneath, in the subject, in the person, in itself. It goes to the bottom or it doesn't go. People with it strong tend to have a strength that only shows when everything is being turned over, and a sharp radar for when someone is lying out of politeness.
