Mercury aligns with Pluto today, and we can be quite concerned with getting to the truth or the bottom of a matter, perhaps too insistently. We might uncover valuable information or gain insight into a topic that’s important to us–indeed, we’re more determined than usual to find solutions.

It’s a time to unearth hidden meanings, although we may be obsessed, manipulative, or paranoid if this goes too far. Battles of words can ensue. News delivered now may have a darker tone, or we’re seeing the darker side of situations. Increased tension or worry may motivate us to make beneficial changes, however.
