description

The Mercury square Pluto aspect is a powerful astrological event where the planet of communication, Mercury, forms a tense 90-degree angle with Pluto, the planet of transformation and the subconscious. This aspect often brings about a probing, almost obsessive quality to one’s thinking and communications. You might find yourself questioning everything more deeply, seeking hidden meanings and motives—both in your own thought processes and in the conversations you have with others. This can lead to powerful insights, but also to a tendency to become overly suspicious or paranoid. The intensity of this transit compels you to look beneath the surface and may bring to light secrets or underlying truths that were previously hidden. It’s a period ripe for transformative thinking but can also stir conflicts and power struggles in communication if not navigated carefully.

what to do

  • Engage in deep research or investigative activities that require concentration and depth.

  • Use this time for transformative self-reflection to uncover hidden aspects of your psyche.

  • Be open to discussing tough issues with others in a quest for deeper understanding.

  • Utilize journaling or therapeutic conversations to process intense or dark thoughts.

  • Practice mindfulness to stay grounded and centered amid intense mental activity.

what to avoid

  • Obsessing over an idea or a conversation to the point of paranoia.

  • Manipulative or coercive communication tactics.

  • Dismissing others’ perspectives without considering their validity.

  • Letting suspicions govern your actions without seeking clarity.

  • Engaging in power struggles through words or ideas.

The challenging energy of Mercury square Pluto can lead to psychological issues such as paranoia, obsessive thinking, and a tendency towards manipulative or coercive speech. This aspect might push you to confront psychological issues related to control, power, and trust in communications.
