What dynamic between situational desires and your innate communication style have you noticed recently?

The transit of Eros in Scorpio squaring your natal Mercury in Capricorn. When the god of love throws a curveball at the planet of communication, one can expect a bit of a linguistic tango. Eros is the asteroid that governs our desires and our passionate engagement with life, and Scorpio, well, Scorpio doesn't do anything by half measures. It's like the brooding hero in a romance novel - intense, mysterious, and all about the deep connections.

Your Mercury in Capricorn is usually all business, preferring a more structured approach to communication. It's like the character in a movie who's got their glasses perched on their nose, tapping away on the keyboard while muttering about deadlines. So, in this cosmic mash-up, your normally disciplined dialogue might find itself sidetracked by a sudden influx of intensity and depth. Eros is whispering sweet nothings into the ear of your stoic Mercury, seducing it into uncharacteristically profound conversations.

Have you found yourself passionately arguing about the merits of crunchy versus smooth peanut butter, or perhaps you've been articulating your emotions with the precision of a poet? That's Eros in Scorpio at play. Instead of your typical bullet points and summaries, you might be delving into the emotional subtext of your spreadsheets. It's like you've brought a flamenco dancer to a board meeting - unexpected, but undeniably captivating.

What's fascinating here is the push and pull between your innate need for order and the seductive call to explore the unknown depths of your desires. This is a time to be mindful of the power of your words; they have the potential to both enthrall and reveal more than you intend. You may find yourself in conversations that feel more like psychological spelunking expeditions than casual chats.

While it's easy to get swept up in the intensity, Mercury in Capricorn has gifted you with the ability to remain grounded. Use that to your advantage. Embrace the depth of Eros but keep a lifeline to your Capricorn sensibilities. Who knows, you might just broker peace between the peanut butter factions with a well-crafted, soul-stirring argument.
