When Mercury in Leo Throws Shade at Pluto: The Cosmic Drama You Didn’t See Coming!

Added on June 16, 2025 inASTROLOGY CARDS

Ever get the feeling that Mercury just won’t quit stirring the pot? Well, brace yourself—because on June 29th, Mercury in fiery Leo throws a no-holds-barred opposition at Pluto chilling in Aquarius, lighting up the notorious third degree like a cosmic soap opera. Pluto lurks where secrets hide; Leo demands center stage under the spotlight. So, what juicy revelations or borderline paranoid thoughts might this celestial showdown drag into the daylight? If you think Mercury’s just the cosmic messenger boy, think again—this planet can wield some seriously transformative, even manipulative power when paired with Pluto. Expect everything from mind-bending insights to neighborly dirt airing sessions—who knew astrology could feel a bit like scandalous reality TV? And with Pluto cozy in Aquarius, that chill-factor ramps up—the kind of cold that cuts through denial and facades. If you’re the type who loves poking underneath the surface (or fancy some deep therapy time), this energy’s got your name all over it. So, what secrets are you ready to excavate? And hey, if you’ve got planets hanging out around three degrees in those Fixed signs, this one’s practically knocking on your door. LEARN MORE

Mercury in Leo will oppose in Pluto in Aquarius, exact on June 29th, energizing the beleaguered third degree.  Pluto is concerned with what’s hidden beneath the surface.  Leo is all about the light of day.

Astrology, broadly speaking, tends to discount Mercury.  I’ve been writing about this error for two decades. This powerful energy is nothing to trifle with.  Here are some key words:

  • Devastating news
  • Paranoid thinking
  • Transformative conversations
  • Manipulative speech
  • Obsessive thought
  • Deep analysis
  • Penetrating insight
  • Verbal machinations
  • Deep understanding
  • Exposing secrets
  • Neighbor’s or sibling’s dirty laundry
  • Precise timing
  • Dehumanizing speech
  • Therapeutic conversations
  • Mental breakthrough / breakdown
  • Words that empower

I feel this aspect needs extra attention because of Pluto’s placement into Aquarius. This brings Uranus into it and as most know by now, I feel this energy is COLD.

To work well with this, you want to be willing to look beneath the surface.  If you like to investigate things most would rather avoid, you’ll be in your element.

It’s also a great time for one on one therapy.  I expect to be very busy.  If you want to get to the bottom of something – GAME ON!

Do you have planets aspecting three degrees of the Fixed signs?
