Natural Chart/ Whole Houses 

Mercury rules the mind and our ability to think and Scorpio represents the archetype of the researcher, so the mind is receptive to investigation and research now. When Mercury is in Scorpio people can, generally speaking, be more suspicious and fond of crime and mysteries in general. They can be more passionate and intense in regards to anything that they find themselves curious about or which they do not understand. They may also be more apt to talk about sex and sexual needs (especially with their partner).

The natal house Scorpio occupies in your birth chart is the area of life where Mercury in Scorpio will be felt. 

• If Aries is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 8th House
• If Taurus is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 7th House
• If Gemini is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 6th House
• If Cancer is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 5th House
• If Leo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 4th House
• If Virgo is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 3rd House
• If Libra is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 2nd House
• If Scorpio is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 1st House
• If Sagittarius is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 12th House
• If Capricorn is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 11th House
• If Aquarius is your rising sign, the Scorpio is your 10th House
• If Pisces is your rising sign, then Scorpio is your 9th House

Example

Mercury in Scorpio and the 1st House

With Mercury in Scorpio and the First House, all that passion and intensity for research and investigation is turned on the self. Your mind is clearer and more astute now and you are driven to explore yourself and figure out who you are. You're more talkative and are likely to strike up conversations with others and you learn about yourself through your interactions with others and their perception of you.

In addition to the ingress of Mercury in Scorpio, you would also want to look at any aspects formed between Mercury and the planets in your Natal Chart.

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Scorpio will form a Conjunction

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Virgo or Capricorn will form a Sextile

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Leo or Aquarius will form a Square

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Cancer or Pisces will form a Trine

* Any planets around 0-2° +/- Taurus will form an opposition

For example, in my own Natal Chart I have Jupiter in 2° Aquarius meaning that Mercury is making a Square to Neptune. When Mercury (I think) is Square (Hard Aspect) to Jupiter (I Expand) you may experience thinking and behavior that is considered over-the-top and you may have trouble reigning yourself in. Any decisions that need to be made should be well thought out before committing yourself to any options.

How will the ingress of Mercury into Scorpio manifest for you.
