Mercury in Scorpio: The Hound of Hell (Concentrate)
In a sense, people with Mercury in Scorpio are natural guardians of the underworld, like the mythological Cerberus, the multi-headed dog that was said to guard the gates of hell, preventing the dead from leaving. While Mercury itself is about crossing boundaries and building bridges, this is a Mercury sign that instead aims to keep, block, and protect; rather than building a bridge, it guards the exit.
Mercury in Libra: Words that Close the Distance
For Mercury in Libra, words are connective tissue. Libra Mercury people understand that words were quite literally invented to connect us. Words connect our inner world with other people, so that what is mine can become yours too, and vice versa. Words were invented to help us share what we see with others and to benefit from what others see too.
