Aspects of Mercury and Pluto

Mercury – Pluto Conjunction

By nature, the native is suspicious and curious about everything that may be hidden or secret. They like playing detective, uncovering all kinds of confidential information. They are not content with touching only the surface; they must dig as deeply as possible in search of the truth. They enjoy truly good mysteries and mysterious subjects such as death and the process of dying, reincarnation, sex, and mystical or natural methods of healing, which are also of interest to them. They would like to know what every person is doing or thinking, but they rarely reveal what is on their own mind. Because of their love of research and investigation, they may be drawn to psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, psychiatry, or counseling in general.

The native has excellent powers of concentration and a penetrating mind. They are able to form an opinion about people and situations quickly and accurately. They are observant, and almost nothing escapes their attention, while a kind of X-ray vision regarding other people’s motives and intentions often helps them. The occult side of life fascinates them and gives wide scope to their research talents and interests. Mystical stories, secrets, intrigue, espionage, and science fiction are their favorite genres to read. They may seem morbidly receptive because of this interest in hidden and secret subjects, but this is not how they see it at all. They simply want to learn as much as possible about themes and subjects to which most people are completely indifferent.

They have definite opinions that influence others, and many may think they are fanatical or obsessive in their beliefs or thinking. They should remember the need to keep their mind open to all points of view. With this attitude, they will learn even more about the things they study. In the end, they may have a highly charged nervous system, which can cause impatience and irritability. They must understand when they need to give their mind a rest.

They are drawn to occult and esoteric studies, with a constant desire to get to the truth. They prefer depth of knowledge rather than breadth of views.

They are always interested in why people behave the way they do and say what they say. They have a knack for deeply studying any subject. Little can escape their attention, and they also have the ability to assess people and situations quickly and accurately as they truly are.

The native has excellent powers of concentration and a penetrating mind. They are able to evaluate people and situations fairly quickly and accurately. They are attentive and observant, and very little escapes them; it is as if they possess a kind of X-ray vision regarding other people’s motives and intentions. The occult side of life fascinates them and gives great scope to their research talents and interests. Mystical stories, secrets, intrigue, espionage, and science fiction are their favorite genres to read. They may be morbidly impressionable because of all this interest in mysteries and undisclosed subjects. But this is not how they see it all; they simply want to learn as much as possible about subjects that most people find completely uninteresting.

They have rather strong opinions that carry power and influence others. Some may think they are almost fanatical or obsessive in their beliefs or in the direction they choose to focus their thinking. They simply need to remember that it is necessary to keep the mind open to all points of view. With this attitude, they will learn even more about the things they study. Finally, they have a mobile nervous system, which can cause impatience and irritability. They must learn to understand when it is necessary to give their mind a rest.

The native tends to be very suspicious, even prone to paranoia. They need to learn not to become so intensely involved in their ideas and beliefs, since some of them may even be fanatical. If others do not believe what the native believes, this can provoke anger or self-righteousness. They must learn to calmly listen to other people’s points of view and take into account that their own opinion may also be mistaken. They should be mature enough to admit when they are wrong. Their attitude that they are always right is not reality. They should approach any ideas with an open mind before ridiculing them.

This aspect gives a “doubting Thomas” tendency: the native does not believe anything unless proof is first provided. They can find this proof in the only truly real way: by turning to their higher self and finding the truth according to their own inner wisdom.  ✓
