Mercury inconjuncts (quincunx) Pluto
What's reallly throwing you off course? As Mercury and Pluto inconjunct, the answer may not be what you thought. Secret hidden fears and suspicions can keep you from investigating serious issues-- and that can trip you up. While you're letting someone else do all your work, you're also not trusting a thing they're saying. If you give up responsibility for yourself, who is really controing you? Start digging, the answers may not be where you expected, but may be worth more than you expected.

The Astrological Mercury
Mercury indicates mental outlook, intellectual endeavors, the way you think and communicate. It represents ideas, methods, and information. It rules your hands and thus your manual dexterity and mechanical skills. Mercury also describes transportation; that is, how you get where you're going physically and mentally. Do you speed with all possible haste or amble along taking a few detours here and there? Mercury is the astrological ruler of Gemini and Virgo.

Astrological Pluto
Pluto takes approximately 248 years to make one cycle through all twelve signs. The period Pluto spends in each sign can vary from twelve years to thirty two years due to the eccentricity of its orbit. Like atomic energy (a force ruled by Pluto), the presence and direction of Pluto's energy are never obvious until it is used. Pluto's influence in any sign is interpreted as generational or historical. In your personal life, Pluto's significance is interpreted from its house position and the aspects it makes to other natal planets in your horoscope. Pluto rules intense energy, and describes the areas in which you consciously or subconsciously seek to exercise power or control. Pluto is also linked to your karmic responsibility, and in this respect, it describes the areas where you must gain the deepest level of understanding. Pluto is the astrological ruler of Scorpio.
