The angle between Mercury and Pluto in your chart depends on your exact birth time. The interpretations below explain how they interact in your chart, grouped by the kind of aspect they form.
Conjunction: Mercury and Pluto
This aspect gives you superb instinct and intuition, especially about potential risks and dangers. If you have a good feel for people's energy and psychology, you can predict what they'll do next. The same goes for events and phenomena; the key is to see the links between causes and effects. You could make a good analyst in a range of fields. This aspect opens access to hidden information. Practically nothing can be kept from you. Like a real detective, you can untangle the most complicated situations.
At its highest octave, the aspect helps you master secret knowledge: the occult, esotericism, the philosophy of life and death, mystical and spiritual practices.
Harmonious aspects: Mercury and Pluto
You're well acquainted with the world of emotions and feelings, and you surely have a strong memory for impressions, sensations, sounds, colors, and smells. You can reconstruct events from how they felt, negative and positive alike. Thanks to this aspect, a person can remember the details of an important event from the past, such as what dress their beloved wore the day they first met.
The aspect wraps a person in an aura of mystery, gives them a gift for nonverbal communication, and produces master flirts who can speak through body language, gestures, glances, and subtle hints.
With this aspect, a blend of mystical and analytical thinking often forms, along with a tendency to notice and understand signs and symbols, decipher deeper meanings, sense danger, and foresee the future.
Challenging aspects: Mercury and Pluto
This aspect makes your judgments more absolute and your opinions more subjective, though you express them calmly or indirectly rather than bluntly. You tend to suspect people or try to catch them out, even when they haven't earned it. On the other hand, this trait can serve you well when you meet schemers and swindlers, because then you're practically impossible to fool. You notice inaccuracies and flaws, and the slightest change in tone or mood.
The second part of the aspect involves risks. You should avoid fast driving, fire, big debts, and conflicts with people in power. This aspect can also draw in windfall money and create situations of both unexpected luck and failure, and in general it brings all kinds of unusual turns and events into your life.
Mercury and Pluto in two different people's charts describe what happens between those people, rather than how one person works. The same angle reads differently in a relationship: instead of two forces arguing within you, it shows where you touch a nerve in each other.
