When Mercury makes a trine, it gives the planet it is trining a microphone.  Mercury can be a microphone like that.  Trines are smooth, Mercury is happy to hold the mic.  Pluto gets the microphone for a moment and it might scream or whisper.  But whatever song it choose to sing---it'll be an extreme scream or an extreme whisper.  Pluto doesn't do middle ground.  It works by magnifying and minimizing to extremes.  We're seeing that a lot with America's Pluto Return at the moment.  Extremes.  Clear extremes.  Minimizing of some issues, maximizing of others, things blown out of proportion and things hidden that should be seen.  What should remain buried and what should be unearthed?  Pluto type information is important for growth, even if it’s a gut punch. It can be the forest fire that burns to make room for new growth.  And when Mercury Trines it, that is a fire of information.

Being able to talk about what was hidden can be freeing. Seeing information come out about hidden things in the world can be horrifying or exciting. People hide things for a myriad of reasons. Sometimes for the positive feeling of privacy, sometimes out of shame, sometimes because they don’t want others to see the truth, sometimes because they’ve done something that’s awful. 

Pluto can be a time of reckoning, and with Mercury, people can be keen to speak and publicize dirty stuff about others, secrets they know about others.  There is also an energy here of speaking truth to power, being a mouthpiece for needed, unavoidable change.  Some secrets should not be kept.

These two planets are in late degrees of Earth signs (Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn).  There is something about late degrees of Earth signs that is wise to the happenings of the physical world.  They know how slow it takes to get things done in the physical world and they're willing to put in slow work toward changes.  

This trine hits exact degrees on June 10, 11 and 12.  Then on the 13th that Mercury leaves slow Taurus, jumping back into Gemini where it is in its home sign---ready to move fast and use information quickly.  Things discovered in this Mercury-Pluto Trine are likely to be talked about for the duration of Mercury in Gemini which will be a time of ideas and trying things out---possibly in order to work with all of this new information.



Advice for Practices

Digging up secrets in writing and speaking

Either on purpose or by accident, they come to the surface.  Deep, brave dives into writing diaries and automatic writing might be great keys to learning about what you're hiding from yourself.  Decide what secrets you might share with others and be willing to listen.  Engaging with the idea of unearthing what was hidden.  Spending time recording your experiences with your voice, freeform speaking the words you've held back, the stuff that has gone unsaid.  The most powerful thing can be to say it to yourself, make it clear and known, even if you choose never to share it with anyone else.  It's a process.



Speaking to the Dead

If a relationship with the dead is part of your life, this is a good time to listen.  And if a relationship with the dead is not a part of your life and you want to connect or think about people you've lost, this might be a good time to listen to the lessons they've left you.  The maximizing and minimizing quality of Pluto is something that really applies to the dead.  Their passing can feel so massive, maximized empty space within us and within our world.  And their physical self is no longer there, minimized, gone.  This can be an enriching and cathartic quality of Pluto and your relationship with the dead.
