You say very little, and none of it is small
Your taste is Scorpio-deep and it is spent on words, so you use few of them and mean all of them. Small talk is not merely tedious to you; it feels like a waste of an opportunity, and you would rather sit in silence than fill it with something neither of you cares about.
This makes your speech unusually weighted. People remember what you said years later, sometimes to your surprise, because a sentence from you arrives with the force of something that was actually considered before it was spoken.
The question that goes past the surface
You ask what somebody is really doing, or really afraid of, at a point in the conversation where nobody expects it, and a startling number of people answer honestly. That is a genuine gift and it is a lot to receive from somebody you have just met. Notice whether they wanted the door opened today.
Not answering is a decision you make on purpose
You are entirely comfortable not answering, and you have learned that saying nothing produces more information than any question would. It works. It is also experienced as pressure by anybody on the receiving end, so be careful using it on people who love you, since what is a technique for you is a punishment for them.
What you say when you are hurt cannot be recalled
Your accuracy about people becomes a weapon under pressure: you know exactly where the soft place is and you can reach it in one sentence. Afterwards you regret it and the sentence remains. Leave the room instead. Nothing you would say in that state has ever been worth what it cost to say it.
Learning by getting to the bottom of it
Surface familiarity with a subject is worse than useless to you; you want the underlying mechanism, and you will read the difficult source rather than the summary. That produces real understanding and it is slow. Accept the pace, and resist the assumption that everybody around you is being lazy, since most of them only needed the summary.
Say the thing while it is still small
You hold on to a grievance without mentioning it, sometimes for months, and by the time it emerges it has become a case rather than a comment. Partners are ambushed by things that happened in spring. Raise it in the week it occurs, in one plain sentence, since the version that has been sitting for six months arrives as a verdict.
You find out what things really cost
Before any significant transaction you dig: the actual terms, the fee that was not mentioned, what the other party stands to gain. That research is worth real money over a lifetime. Sell the skill as well as using it, since a great many people would happily pay somebody to read the contract properly on their behalf.
The mind that will not put it down
When something is unresolved you turn it over continuously, often at night, and the turning does not produce an answer after the first hour. That is where a good deal of your tiredness comes from. Put the problem somewhere physical, written or spoken to one person, since it will keep circulating for as long as it is only in your head.
Two friends who get the whole of it
What you tell one or two people is far beyond what most friends ever hear, and everybody else gets courtesy. That concentration is intense for the recipients and precarious for you. Notice how much is resting on very few people, and be deliberate about the fact rather than discovering it when one of them moves away.
Siblings, and what was never said
With brothers, sisters and cousins there is usually a history with something unaddressed in it, and you remember the specifics while everybody else has agreed to move on. Decide whether raising it would change anything. If it would, do it properly and once; if it would not, put it down deliberately rather than carrying it as an open file.
