#mercury conjunct pluto

⟢ Please support me by reposting, liking, following, and commenting on this post. If it doesn't resonate with you, please keep in mind that a birth chart must be read as a whole.

If you have Venus in Aquarius in your natal chart, people may feel strangely unsettled by how emotionally independent you seem. The fact that you don’t immediately seek validation, reassurance, or emotional dependency from others can make insecure people feel unexpectedly replaceable around you.

With Mercury conjunct Pluto in your natal chart, people often become hyperaware of everything they say around you. Conversations with you can feel psychologically exposing very fast, even when you’re barely trying to analyse anyone.

If you have Moon trine Pluto in your natal chart, people may start revealing their insecurities, jealousy, fears, or emotional wounds around you without even meaning to. Your energy tends to bring hidden emotions naturally to the surface.

With Mars in Capricorn in your natal chart, your self-discipline alone can unintentionally trigger shame, comparison, or inadequacy in people who struggle with consistency, ambition, or emotional self-control themselves.

If Neptune harshly aspects your Ascendant in your natal chart, people may constantly project fantasies, assumptions, insecurities, or completely inaccurate versions of you onto you because they struggle to fully understand who you actually are.

With Aquarius rising in your natal chart, people may secretly feel intimidated by how detached from social pressure, group approval, or external validation you seem to be. Your energy can make others painfully aware of how much they depend on being liked.

If Pluto conjuncts Eros in your natal chart, people may become psychologically consumed by the attraction they feel toward you because your energy tends to activate obsession, emotional fixation, possessiveness, and loss of emotional control easily.

Plenty of people spend years trying to understand themselves while feeling like something about them is “too much,” too complicated, too intense, too emotional, too different, or impossible to explain properly.

Your birth chart can explain those parts of you more clearly than you probably realize.

That’s precisely what I explore in my "Birth Chart - Reading" BASIC & DELUXE 🌙

Strong influence of Pluto…

What a strong Plutonian influence of Pluto in the chart could look like:

Pluto in the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th house

Pluto aspecting inner planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars)

Pluto strongly aspecting the moon and ascendant, especially tight orbs

TW: mentions of s*x and death!!

Being Pluto dominant or having a strong influence of Pluto means that transformations, ego deaths, feelings of death and rebirth will accompany you for a life time. From my experience, this will be especially harsh in the childhood, youth and maybe in your early adult years. As time passes and as you get older, you might develop self care habits and safety mechanisms to protect yourself and your inner peace. Practising self love, meditation and mindfulness could be important to these individuals, as they could underestimate their beauty and their outstanding personality.

I’ve also seen that most traumatic events happen in the childhood, youth or early adulthood. But that’s just my observation.

Feelings of being deeply misunderstood rise while you are young and this feeling might follow you for years. Constantly searching for someone to understand your complex mind and depth of emotions. These people could benefit from searching for a valve to turn pain, bad experiences and any form of built up emotion into art. Be it writing, drawing, making music…

A reoccurring theme for Plutonians is sexuality. There may be blockages in regards of the own sexuality or experiencing it, but once they overcome this, they literally start to bloom in that area. This could turn into being hungry for power in general (or simply being turned on by overpowering the partner) or in being lascivious. They can be pretty much extreme and freaky in bed, actually. Being intimate never gets boring with them.

I know, this is what you read everywhere, but plutonic people are deeply magnetic and will catch your eye with their intense aura. Even if they are not seen as traditionally beautiful, these natives exude attractiveness and charisma. You just can’t ignore them and they will even stand out in a crowd. BUT! A lot of them don’t have the sex appeal like (for example) Megan Fox has. A lot of them have such an innocence to their appearance, but if you take a closer look you’ll see that they’re like fallen angels.

From my experience, plutonic people will have a deep connection to spirituality or the occult and a profound interest in psychology (for good and bad). They usually get into these things after really hard times in their life. They will attract jealousy and hate like flies, unfortunately and this could take a toll in their self esteem. Even strangers tend to be very competitive and mean to them in some way, because most people simply feel challenged by their presence.

Dear plutonic people,

Mercury Conjunct Pluto Synastry

Those with the aspects listed below might find themselves changing jobs a lot, as Pluto brings transformation/change— it’s like tower + death energy.

Second house deals with the way in which we make money and our personal finances/stability. In particular, those with malefics ruling the second might find themselves struggling moreso than those with benefics. Of course, this might not be true if the benefic is being maltreated by Pluto/Mars through an opposition/square.

This can lead to a lot of financial instability. You may even be labeled a job hopper. I would bet the majority have had to deal with their fair share of toxic workplaces/shitty managers that play favorites/the wrong side of nepotism/bullying-- my heart goes out to y'all. Please remember you are NOT what you do for a living and just because you haven't found traditional stability yet does not mean you are less than or inferior in any way. Think of all the wisdom gained and the ways in which your negative experiences caused you to develop stronger boundaries + intuition.

I actually think these folks would probably do quite well in a fairly chaotic environment like ER doctor, EMT, surgeon, professional fighter, etc. Notice I said chaotic and not stressful/dysfunctional-- there is a difference. Think very busy, something always going on.

JUST A THEORY but those with these aspects could struggle with ADHD/ASD/BPD/PTSD/bipolar or other mental illness/personality disorders/developmental disorders that cause them to struggle keeping a job or reaching + maintaining financial stability.

The following placements should only be considered if the aspect is within a 3 degree orb (except for the Moon):

Aries/Virgo Risings --> Venus oppposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto/Mars within 3 degrees

Taurus/Leo Risings —> Mercury opposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto/Mars within 3 degrees

Gemini Risings —> Moon opposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto/Mars within 14 degrees

Cancer Risings —> Sun opposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto/Mars within 3 degrees

Libra/Pisces Risings —> Mars opposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto within 3 degrees

Scorpio/Aquarius Risings —> Jupiter opposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto/Mars within 3 degrees

Sagittarius/Capricorn Risings —> Saturn opposing/squaring/conjunct Pluto/Mars within 3 degrees

2nd house Pluto/Mars may struggle as well with this

I feel like the conjunctions might not feel it as much or it might not be as negative as the oppositions/squares are.

this conjunction lasts about a day and is deeply thoughtful. if you need to solve a problem, uncover a secret, or otherwise use your mind and even deeper, older forms of knowledge, this is a good time to do so.

Bravery vs. Bravado Thursday - January 22, 2026

We've all done it, said something akin to: "Well, if it had been me, I would have done ....."

Well, it wasn't you and very often you don't know what you would do in certain situations.

You know what you HOPE you would do. You know what you BELIEVE you should do. You know what your conscience and morals THINK is best.

There is much truth to old adage about "walking in another's shoes." It's incredibly difficult to FULLY understand another's journey, path or karma.

And that is the teaching today as Mercury conjuncts Pluto at 3° Aquarius, as Mars sits at 29° Capricorn, moving into Aquarius on Friday.

Bravely face every situation you are in, but drop the self-aggrandizing bravado regarding situations that others are in. Be courageous as you acknowledge the unknowns in your world, and purposefully dance with your own fears.

Give others the courtesy of determining what is courageous (or cowardly) in their circumstances, as they have their own dance with their fears.
