Transit Pluto Sextile Mercury: An Opening for a Sharp Mind

Transit Pluto sextile Mercury is the period when Pluto forms a supportive 60-degree angle to the natal Mercury, sharpening the mind and adding weight to the person's words. In short: complex topics become easy to analyze, persuasive power grows, and what is learned is understood at depth. This sextile to Mercury lasts a year or two, and retrogrades usually repeat the exact contact three times.

What does transit Pluto sextile Mercury bring?

This is a productive period for researchers, writers and people working in sales or negotiation. The person may write the book that has circled their mind for years, bring a tough negotiation to a favorable close, or begin intensive training in a field they want to master. Conversations with siblings or neighbors can clear up old misunderstandings.

As it approaches, curiosity grows; at the exact passes opportunities become concrete; as it separates, the knowledge and skills gained become lasting.

Using the power of words consciously

A sextile opens the door, but walking through it is up to the person. The opportunity may look as small as a phone call, a class or an offer; if it is not taken, it passes quietly.
