The three slowest-moving planets in our solar system are those three outer-most planets, known as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. While it’s really interesting to note that these can have the greatest impact on our personal planets via transit despite their great distance from us and the Sun, perhaps this is due to their incredibly slow speed, as they spend a greater amount of time transiting each of our planets, hence intensifying or deepening their effect.

Mercury is our personal planet governing the way we think, learn and communicate. It governs our logical mind and thought processes on a day to day basis. Aside from these, it can also affect the way we view the world from a philosophical standpoint.

Let’s have a look at the ways transits from these outer planets to our natal Mercury might impact our lives.

Uranus conjunct Mercury

This transit brings fast-paced thinking and lots of new ideas about life, science, technology and occult subjects, so much so that it may be hard to keep up. You may change your mind a lot during this transit. It’s a great time to increase your knowledge and understanding, yet isn’t a good time for making new commitments.

Uranus square Mercury

New information can flood in while impulsivity and nerves can mean it’s tough to sift through the data, so it’s best to make sure you’re feeling settled and calm before making important decisions. This is also not the best time for travelling or short trips as problems may arise, but work involving with maths or science will likely succeed.

Uranus opposition Mercury

You may be forced to balance new ideas with unexpected turning points now, so life may become much more fast-paced. This may be a time when you start to learn a new language, niche or occult subject, as you realise a desire to radically open your mind. Business trips aren’t advised, due to potentially disrupting events.

Uranus trine Mercury

Your life may become more exciting and interesting and it’s a great time to take trips for stimulating and lively activity, as opposed to relaxing. This is a great time to solve any old problems that had you feeling stuck, especially those scientific or logical in nature, as Uranus will have you thinking outside the box.

Neptune conjunct Mercury

This can be quite a confusing time as the mental logic of Mercury can be interrupted by the ethereal boundlessness and spirituality of Neptune, so it’s not a good time to make any important life or work decisions. We may also find we deceive ourselves and that there is higher chance of being deceived by others at this time.

Neptune square Mercury

You may find it difficult to remain rooted in reality at this time, as fantasies and daydreams regarding spiritual places or religion could take hold. You may also find juggling mundane details, understanding others and daily communications is hard, so important decisions are best delayed. You may feel a need to escape.

Neptune opposition Mercury

It is often advised to not go along with any new or radical ideas or life changes at this time, as there is a chance they’ll be based on misconceptions or vague information. You may feel pulled this way and that from conflicting sources, so it is best to wait the transit out to see what transpires after. Imaginations can be overactive.

Neptune trine Mercury

During this transit the powers of your imagination will increase, bringing you mindfully in tune with your emotions and ways you can express them. Your logical awareness and your world of fantasy are working in tandem right now and you can tell the difference between them, so now is a great time to produce anything creatively.

Pluto conjunct Mercury

Your thoughts and your communications with others will take on much greater weight and meaning than usual, while some of them may even change your views completely going forwards. You may find you have a desire to help change the views of others, when perhaps simply sharing your thoughts will suffice.

Pluto square Mercury

You desire to reach the depths of knowledge whilst learning new things under this transit, as anything relating to power or control could interest you, such as magic, cyber security or criminal psychology. You may also find you need to change your ways of thinking and teaching, especially if you became too dogmatic in the past.

Pluto opposition Mercury

Under this transit your chances of conflict will increase and you may feel out of character in that you wish to force your opinions on others, which is met with opposition. You could also find someone else trying to force their views onto you. Try to do what’s best, as you could become mentally exhausted.

Pluto trine Mercury

This transit is perfect for investigating anything you need to get to the bottom of, as your powers of playing detective are at their best whilst working in tandem with your logical mind. You may enjoy deeper conversations than usual that you find fulfilling and it’s likely your ability to positively influence communications will improve.
