what do you think dating a chart ruler scorpio mercury, virgo mars looks like

—aries mercury troublemaker


Ha! What do I think it would be like? To date a Scorpio Mercury chart ruler with Virgo Mars in full reception? As an Aries Mercury chart ruler?

Before I talk about this, I wonder if you are dating this person now. It sounds like you were on the precipice some time ago. I understand that it takes me a long time to write to these. It takes me at least a day to write every response and, for some of them, it’s taken weeks to think through.

I think that you know exactly who you are. You are a troublemaker. Scorpio Mercury with Virgo Mars? That’s a smartass. I don’t know. You might have met your match. Anytime you have Mercury hanging out with Mars or if your Mercury and Mars are strong you’re gonna run into that snarky kid who sits in the back of the class chewing gum and trolling the teacher. Y’all have Mercuries that are strengthened or defined by Mars.

So, what’s it like being a troublemaker who dates a smartass? Probably very funny. I imagine that the two of you run around laughing at funny shaped dogs and turning phrases.

And your question is about my imagination so I don’t bother with wondering about you or what’s going on between you and this person you maybe like. I’ll just let my imagination spin then.

I imagine that dating a Scorpio Mercury chart ruler with Virgo Mars in reception as an Aries Mercury chart ruler is to be caught in an endless series of ridiculous debates that toe the border of the flirtatious to the outright aggravating. I imagine the two of you rub each other the wrong way just as much as you rub each other the right way. I imagine that you two use verbal banter not as foreplay but as the main event, playing around with the dominance and the humiliation of starting and ending some out of the world discussion.

I imagine that neither of you like to lose a point or an argument. I imagine that one of you is better prepared but that the other one has the element of shock. I imagine that you take turns trying to shock the other into submission while they sit there, feigning stone. I imagine that you one up the other.

I imagine that you two start a meme account laughing at other people who are just like you. I imagine that you negotiate the boundaries of a tease when one of you gets hurt unintentionally. I imagine that one of you gets into long tirades about things that the other one cuts short with a loosely sprinkled question. I imagine that one question from you setting your possible boo into a deep spiral of research that lasts several weeks.

You’re both monsters about information. You’re both people who appear to know too much. You both throw words like volleys in a game of dodgeball. You both love a challenge and feel like you can get away with anything.

I imagine that dating a Scorpio Mercury chart ruler with Virgo Mars as an Aries Mercury chart ruler would be quite fun. Thank you for this question. I had a good time with it and I hope that you are having a good time as well.
