Mercury conjunct Pluto
To deal with any psychological complexes that might plague our minds we need to become aware that the complex exists. The issue is that often we are not aware that any problem exists. Not to imply that we all have issues to deal with, but probably most of us do. The psychological complexes that we are unaware of guide our actions and lead our decision-making. That’s a bit of an issue if you think you are guided by logic, rationality and sanity. You might miss out on opportunities or joyful parts of life only to avoid past pains. Worst of all you don’t know you are avoiding past pains. You might think you are being rational.
That’s when Pluto comes in. Pluto is associated with all that is dark and daunting. But Pluto has an incredible function that allows us to see what hasn’t been previously seen. Pluto rips off the blindfold and if you are ready to accept uncomfortable parts of yourself you can be enlightened by the process.
When Mercury crawls up to Pluto we might have to face these psychological complexes that have been part of our psyche for a long time. There might be ways of thinking or communicating that are no longer serving us in the long run. First we have to become familiar with these thoughts if we want to change them.
