Mercury is something like a link to our soul, communication is the way we express ourselves mostly. Your Mercury is in Scorpio. You have great mental concentration, you're direct and capable. You probably just come out with whatever you want to say, regardless of hurting or offending someones feelings. Mercury is ruled by the 3rd house. You have lots of intellectual ability, if you apply yourself, which shouldn't be hard. I think this is a good placement because you probably are really good at debating and writing. You have an original way of thinking so the ideas never stop flowing. Everyone gets mad once in awhile, I mean I don't know you but I wouldn't say you're a bitter sarcastic person all the time. But only you know that...jk =] There are pros and cons to every aspect, focus on the pros and strengthen them.
