Mercury Square Pluto

Mercury square: If a thought comes to mind but does not settle into words, it means it was poorly invited. Mercury square creates significant difficulties for a person in the interaction between the planet’s principle and rational thinking and speech. The interpretation depends on which planet in the square is stronger. If Mercury prevails, the person will consider their (sometimes others’) thoughts and considerations about the planet unusually important and clever, even though they often distort the planet’s principle, since the person does not fully understand it rationally, though some of their thoughts may indeed be profound. If, however, the planet is stronger in the square, the thinking process as a whole will be under its disharmonious influence, i.e., distorted, profaned, narrowed, etc., in accordance with the houses and signs where Mercury and the planet are located: the house occupied by the planet will disproportionately influence the house occupied by Mercury (and Mercury itself), and the style of the sign where the planet stands will intrude upon and partially suppress the style of the sign where Mercury stands. In general, Mercury square is characterized by a person’s strong mental preoccupation with the planet’s issues and areas of influence, along with an initially distorted mind that tends to see things in fragments—accurate and deep in places, but mostly unsatisfactory. The person finds it hard to believe this, even after a series of obvious failures and setbacks. The level of aspect processing is clearly visible in the quality of speech when the person talks about the planet’s problems (if they speak calmly, i.e., through Mercury rather than Mars). At a low level of processing, the person often tends to teach or lecture others, asserting themselves at their expense, without fully understanding the subject they are discussing. Processing requires systematic work to fill in the gaps in mental perception of the planet’s principle and to abandon direct mental pressure on it, which is accompanied by crude profanation (as well as a tendency toward speculation). Next, the person must learn to overcome their unnatural dullness that arises when trying to understand something new about the planet (the subconscious protest can be very sharp, even leading to severe depression and an inability to read text) and resist emotional outbursts that resist the development of rational thinking. It should be remembered that Mercury square is potentially an aspect of intelligent people who deeply understand the planet’s principle. Pluto square: Angelic wings grow where the cross of fate has rubbed raw. The influence of Pluto square manifests as a certain discomfort for the person regarding the sacrifices in the planet’s area that fate will demand; at least, this is how it will seem to the person. They must accept that these sacrifices will be required at an inopportune moment and will bring unpleasant consequences of seemingly unnecessary and unwanted nature—but such is, alas, the nature of this karmic program. Pluto square is the aspect of Job, though fortunately not always as extreme. The planet’s principle in the external world will sharply dissatisfy the person, prompting a desire to impose order in this regard, for which they will need corresponding power. The karmic design, however, has the opposite intent: to bring purity and order to the planet’s principle in the person’s inner world and subconscious, which requires gaining power over their instincts and lower desires related to the planet. Until the person realizes this, they will repeatedly face heavy sacrifices and fate that will pursue them to the extent they provoke it—whether unconsciously or consciously, intentionally or unintentionally, for the best or worst motives. A key point is that in the planet’s area, the person acts like a magnifying glass, vividly exposing their (and others’) smallest imperfections and flaws. This aspect offers great opportunities for inner development and purification but also produces black teachers of a dictatorial type in the world, who destroy low and average manifestations of the planet’s principle in the external world through power, fire, and sword, leaving only the most refined (which go unnoticed) or, at times, simply ashes. At an average level, the person exhibits harsh behavior with elements of domineering and nihilism toward others, combined with a desire to master the planet’s principle themselves. Internally, the person strongly wishes to present the world with their ideal, but this simply does not work out, or (in the person’s view) the world is simply not mature enough to recognize the perfection shown to it.

These people have a sharp tongue and like to call things by their proper names, which often leads to numerous conflicts and clashes. When they choose, they can demonstrate remarkable sensitivity to the point of view of others, displaying rare tact and diplomacy. However, this desire arises only rarely. More often, they strive to convert everyone around them to their own ideas. Such people rarely experience a happy state of mental balance. They typically vacillate between blind devotion and utter despondency, between grumbling and complaining and scandalous protests. They often take unnecessary risks and, in pursuit of innovation, engage in unthinkable adventures. Such people often excel in medicine, the natural sciences, and psychology, and prove successful investigators. They are often stubborn, impatient, irritable, vindictive, and revolutionary. They often exhibit a penchant for deception and intrigue, and their actions are sometimes motivated by irrational reasons. Their fate is full of twists, turns, and turns, and their nervous system sometimes can't withstand the strain they place on it. This aspect helps them delve into the essence of any issue and grasp any situation with insight. Such people express their opinions directly and openly, are spontaneous in their intellectual reactions, and are blunt and stern in their statements and thoughts. Overly suspicious, they love to intrigue and unravel conspiracies. Such individuals often try to influence the thoughts of others for destructive purposes. They energetically implement all their ideas and plans.

Helps one understand the essence of any situation thanks to their penetrating intelligence. They speak their minds directly and are strict in their statements and thoughts. This quality is energetically implemented, even more so than when squared by Mars. They say everything they think, unconcerned about the reaction, but it would be better to hold their tongue, otherwise, quarrels arise. They are taciturn and never blurt out anything prematurely. They are often suspicious, love to intrigue, and use counterfeit methods where acting openly is appropriate. They strive to influence other people's ideas as if they were their own. They possess a strong will, but when misused or used destructively, this can have far-reaching consequences.

Your child probably has an "acute tongue," he calls a spade a spade. But he can also very mysteriously expound his thoughts to seem enigmatic and incomprehensible. He has an inventive mind, loves to get to the bottom of the phenomenon that interests him, to dig up information. However, honest and open exchange of opinions with parents or friends may be difficult: the child simply does not want to share his thoughts with them. He can be merciless in an intellectual sense to himself, but will strongly feel hurt if he feels that his ideas or thoughts are being criticized. For such children, it is absolutely necessary to learn to listen and accept the opinions and ideas of others.

The opposition, square: aspects of a "sorcerer- amateur" who tries to conquer what is beyond his grasp. He uses his mind to influence people or to reveal secrets that are not meant to be spoken, solely to shock those around him. His subconscious and passion for conclusions sometimes come into conflict, and he strives to repress, to overcome his subconscious in order to make categorical judgments. In the best case, he has a slightly distorted sense of humor.

They grasp the essence of the matter in any situation. They express their opinions directly, without caring about the reaction, which, unfortunately, often ends in a quarrel. Often suspicious. They like to intrigue and use insidious methods where they should act openly. They strive to instill their ideas in people, but in such a way that they believe that they themselves came up with it.

Getting personal with you is a real mistake, for it always manages to plunge you into turmoil. You resent probing on the part of others, yet are fascinated by behind-the-scenes and so-called "secret" information. You may prefer not to think about anything below the surface, but even this is not a constant, and this inner conflict produces more than its share of tension.
