Sun-Mercury square Pluto: obsessions, change power struggles

October 9, the Sun and Mercury are conjunct and square Pluto at 16 degrees of Libra-Capricorn.

Sun-Mercury is considered a willful transit and many will project this energy. Arrogance and pushiness may prevail, and you may be tempted to say exactly what you think, and so could others. Watch travel and communication.

Both planets create a difficult square to Pluto (power, power struggles, bullies, change and transformation) that can be obsessive in nature and arguments may be common. You could have a specific and single thought in your mind and it may be hard to let go of.

Power struggles can occur and many things may be uncovered. People may seem openly aggressive. If you are searching for the answer to a question or situation you may be able to uncover many things on this day.

Situations can take on a personal tone, and change can occur on many levels. Many things come together and reach a peak or end in our lives on days like this one. As both planets are in Libra, relationships may be altered or changed, and they don't have to be romantic.

Conflict with others is likely, and the best things I can say about it is with the nature of Pluto, and a lot of work, some things may be transformed. Focus on what you would like to change.

Sun-Pluto transits have to do with the breakdown of things and rebuilding. Some may feel they are involved in a situation where the change is forced upon them. Give it a day or two and see if you feel the same way before making irrevocable decisions.

There is no doubt this energy will play out in the world on or before these transits are exact. We can expect to see and feel angry energy and power struggles. 

Issues may center around money and finances, but Pluto rules also rules nuclear events. The media will be involved in a big way, and situations will likely be uncovered at this time. Some things may break down completely or end.

Those who will be affected to a greater degree will have Cardinal planets-Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn at 15-17 degrees. The energy of this transit will occur before it peaks on October 9, and a few days after.
