Composite Mercury in aspect to Composite Pluto

These planets together indicate that this relationship is likely to have a strong effect on the way you both think. Within your relationship you will analyze aspects of yourselves and how you work together that in previous relationships you simply would not have bothered with. This aspect is an indication of acute psychological awareness, which is very helpful in a relationship if it is not overdone to the point that little issues are distorted and magnified out of all proportion.

But there is a more difficult side to this Pluto-Mercury combination that you must watch for carefully. It can give rise to mental power struggles between you; that is, one of you tries to totally dominate the thoughts and opinions of the other. It is not possible to tell from this aspect alone which person is the domineering one. Actually both people often do it to each other, with one being dominant in an obvious, overt way, while the other uses passive, more subtle techniques, such as maneuvering into a position of being the apparent victim in order to gain sympathy from outsiders. Either party may use either tactic at various times. This is not an inevitable result of this aspect, but you should recognize the possibility and avoid it.

Another possible effect of this aspect is that its energy may be turned outward. When this happens, the two of you may find that you are to influence other people's opinions and ideas. This aspect would be especially useful in the composite chart of people who have to influence public opinion, such as those in advertising, public relations, or politics. Here the influence of this aspect is a powerful tool that can be used for either good or bad, whatever is intended.

Composite Mercury quincunx Composite Pluto

You are inclined to tell each other exactly what you're thinking without considering the consequences. This can be healthy to a degree, but often not! This is because the words we choose to explain ourselves are not always reflective of how we are actually feeling.

You're looking to one another for mental stimulation and exciting exchange or verbal rapport. You might frequently challenge each other's ideas. Whether this inspires you to think more sharply or degrades into mental sparring and one-upmanship is entirely up to you. Conversations are certainly lively between you, but can often lead to arguments if you are not careful. Avoid trying to force an opinion onto each other, or attempting to one-up each other on a mental level. Scoring intellectual points might be fun in a debate, but it can hurt feelings and cause unnecessary conflict if either of you doesn't take it as a game. Different points of view can turn into full-fledged arguments all too easily with this combination. Words may be sharp and impatient.

Composite Mercury opposite Composite Pluto

The opposition of composite Mercury and Pluto will create very intense conflicts between you if you make no effort to enlarge your consciousness of this relationship.

A typical situation is that during an argument one of you will start to psychoanalyze the other and will present a very plausible case, supposedly in the interest of bringing out some foible and examining it objectively. However, what is really happening is that at each turn the truth is subtly distorted so that the one being analyzed becomes the loser in the battle. The so called analyst also tries to force the other into his or her own ways of thinking.

The process is all the more devastating in that the truth, slightly amended, is used as a weapon, which makes it even harder to fight. Finally, however, a crisis point will be reached, and the victim of this procedure will strike back and make a break for freedom, even though this seems to violate "common sense" as the other partner sees it.

However, since at least one of you thoroughly understands the truth, it is a pity not to use it to create more understanding instead of using it to dominate. This in fact is the way to handle the negative consequences of this aspect. Use your understanding of the truth to get at more truth, not to win over your partner. And the same goes for your dealings as a couple with people outside of the relationship, since this aspect also gives the two of you power to influence others.
