Astrologers read Mercury in Scorpio as a probing, private and persistent mind. It is interested in what lies beneath the surface, good at research and slow to accept easy answers. The tradition links it with secrets, investigation and conversations that go deep rather than wide. Its noted risk is suspicion, or holding on to a thought longer than is useful. A modest suggestion is to pick one question you have avoided looking into, give it a focused hour and write down what you find.
