Child Of Mercury With Child Of Pluto
This person positively mesmerizes you. The words have bite, the humor is wonderfully dark, and the mind is so fierce and uncompromising that no quip slips by unanswered. A Child of Pluto plays to all your fantasies of being naughty in public. The only thing that’s hard to tell is how far this person is willing to go. Life with a Child of Pluto is not for the faint of heart.
If you don’t like intensity then do yourself a favor and stay away. One can’t separate the temperament from the artist, so don’t even try to attempt something similar with this person. Either accept the entire package or skip it. But for those of you Mercury Children who don’t mind the occasional chilly mood, you’ll also get to experience life with a kick.
Each of you adds a dimension to the other. You bring levity where your mate brings depth. It’s a nice combination. When your Pluto mate gets too intense, you’re quick to demonstrate that this isn’t the way the rest of the world thinks. It takes a while, but you will eventually prevail upon your mate to take in views other than his or her own and to not assume the worst.
You may still not feel that you understand your Pluto parent, but you admire the single-minded purpose. As an adult, you can see how your parent may have sabotaged his or her own efforts by issuing ultimatums or refusing to accept compromise. Nevertheless what your Pluto parent failed to learn, you readily absorbed.
You’re the perfect parent for this kind of kid. One of the most important things you can teach your Pluto Child is that things change. Nothing is preordained or fated. Not only does this diffuse some of that famous Pluto fixation, but it will also lessen the impact of those childhood traumas (like unrequited puppy love or being chosen last for softball) that tend to leave such a lasting impression.
Someone should have hung a sign on your Pluto sibling’s bedroom door that read: TREAD SOFTLY. PSYCHIC MINEFIELD. You may have resented how this person’s temper dominated the household, but it takes time for a Child of Pluto to grow into his or her power, just like it takes time for you to learn not to say the first thing that comes to mind. Nevertheless, the two of you will grow into a close and loyal friendship.
You can pull the wool over most anyone’s eyes, but a Pluto friend will always bring you up short. This person sees past your “social butterfly” facade and will ask the questions that get you to really consider the consequences of your behavior. Sometimes you like it. Sometimes you don’t. But you can always be yourself around this person.
Not worth it. Apologize; pay the fine, promise to wash the dishes, just do whatever it takes to get back into this person’s good graces.
Careful. Your Mercury curiosity could get you into trouble if you don’t respect a couple of things. It’s the nature of Pluto to treat everything like it’s a secret, even if it’s already public knowledge. You may want to expedite matters by doing some checking up on your own or going to your boss’s boss. Don’t. This will be interpreted as you going behind this person’s back, which will effectively bring to an end the trust that is so important for working with a Pluto boss. Respect your Pluto boss’s privacy and you’ll get along fine.
Children of Pluto are closet chatter boxes. They don’t see themselves this way, but they’re not fooling you. With that in mind, help this person out by keeping an eye on the time. You know that you can switch from visiting to work mode in an instant. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for your colleague.
