The recently completed Mercury retrograde in Libra will have Mercury
to make a square aspect to Pluto in Capricorn, not once but three times
over a period of a few weeks - once while moving forward, once in
retrograde, and then once more on the final forward pass.
Now Mercury square Pluto is traditionally known as "the obsessed mind". We may thus each feel this influence in our own unique way of course. One may, for example, be forced to take your computer in for repairs three times as it keeps coming back faulty. And in the obsession to get to the root of the problem, one may imagine ulterior motives where there are none, becoming overly suspicious toward the tech support, thinking he is out to get you. Or in an online written exchange of ideas one may start reading into the replies dark intent where there is none. Or your own provocative replies may cause more problems than necessary. Basically we can end up meeting our own shadows in the written and spoken word of others, manifesting even as a paranoia. Of course if we push on with the steely mental determination to get to the bottom of the matter, to really peel away the falsehoods and expose true motives, then we can find just what it is that shadow is trying to teach us about ourselves. And by the healthy process of introspection, spurred on by this catalytic square aspect, one can make healthy strides forward in self-realization. Just be careful, at the same time, not to overpower others with overly fierce debate or desire to convert others to your way or the highway.
On the positive side too, by the time the third exact square alignment passes by, one should ideally be able to purge, heal or discover the healthy way to channel the intense mental energy available, and to really harness it productively. Even if it means writing it all down with a pen and paper until the laptop returns. Because when it does return, it should be so much more powerful, as more latent unconscious psychic potential is released to conscious use.
