Pisces Mercury And The 12th House
“Where are you working?” “The Center for Sound Hearing.” “What?” “The Center for… you bastard.”
–Why I Quit My First Real Job
I had a lousy sleep last night. I was awoken several times by loud, sharp noises that I’m pretty sure didn’t actually occur in reality. Then this morning I yelled at the kids to “cut it out, I’m sleeping here!” only the kids weren’t being noisy, not overly so. Even with a pillow over my head it’s like my hearing was so acute I could hear the grass grow. After a cup of coffee I realized, ahhhhh, retrograde Mercury is going back over my ascendent into my 12th.

Real Conversation
“Look at this composite chart between me and this dude.”
“I’m not at my computer.”
“Oh… … …”
“Dammit, ok, hold on…”

Faith And The Flow Of Information… Virgo And Pisces, Mercury In Pisces, Mercury In The 12th…
Astrology in real life…
Mercury (information) is in Pisces (faith) at the moment and the soldier and I were discussing how things get communicated. Turns out we both agree it is often in your best interest to not go out looking for information.
For example, I have all this court stuff going on right now. I have meetings being scheduled left and right. There are all kinds of people in all kinds of committees making all kinds of decisions that affect my life. If I tried to track them all I would do nothing but track them all but as is, I just rely on someone to call me when my number comes up. This is very hard to do. I think human nature wants to know what is going on and the faith method does have some risks. However I think the benefits outweigh them.
“I’ve noticed if you do nothing, you do tend to find things out in time generally speaking,” I said. “One way or the other. Sometimes you find out in a dream, or in your case you may get it via your antenna (his psychic ability). One way or the other what you need to know, you do seem to find out and in plenty of time.”
“I have always felt that way,” he said.
“Yeah, especially in times of stress the last thing you need is a bunch of minutiae. I have just seen this over and over, you do find out what you need to know and always in plenty of time. I imagine we have both been spared all kinds of things living this way…”
How do you handle the flow of information? Where is Mercury in your chart?
Leo Woman Disturbed And Wonders What Scorpio Man Is Up To: Astrology-Based Advice
Dear Elsa,
I am dating a Scorpio man who is ten years my senior (he is 53). We have had a good relationship for the past 5 months – it has been loving, intense sexually, and there have been moments I feel as if I am falling in love with him. My friends have all noticed how happy I have been, until recently.
We often joke around with each other, but in the past week his jokes have taken another tone, and have gone from harmless to harmful. We’ve been talking and he claims that they were just jokes and he would never intentionally try to hurt or belittle me.
It’s disturbing to me because it appears as if he doesn’t remember or want to take responsibility for what he says. He seems genuinely stunned when I call him on his less-than-lighthearted jokes and even questioned me as to why I’d want to be with someone who would intentionally hurt me.
I think he is a genuine person, but I’m extremely confused about his recent behavior.

Dear Leo,
It is impossible for me to know for sure what is going on here. Your man may be pulling away from you or playing some Scorpio “torture” games but it does not necessarily seem this is the case to me.
His question, “Why would you want to be with someone who would intentionally hurt you?” is a good one and it may very well be genuine. I know I would ask the same thing if I meant no harm and someone I was dating claimed I was hurting them but continuing to date me. He is essentially challenging you to look at your own behavior, which is actually a good idea.
A good idea but potentially disturbing and so you feel disturbed and I don’t blame you but look here:
Leo Sun aside, you have Mercury conjunct Pluto in the twelfth house and it is a safe bet that you go deeper than you think you do. You have the Black Moon Liltith conjunct your Moon as well (think dark feminine) and I think this guy may be tapping into parts of you that you are divorced or disconnected from, which is a Scorpio forte.
His bafflement over this situation might also be real because I don’t care what they say, a lot of what Scorpio does is unconscious so I hope you get the gist of this.
You can certainly run and if you don’t meet another Scorpio, then all good. But if you do continue to attract this challenging energy then it might be a clue you explore your darker thoughts and feelings and for the record, astrology suggests this is the direction in which you are headed.
Good luck.
