crimsoncurrentWhen Mercury is conjunct Orcus in astrology, it signifies a significant influence on communication, thought processes, and mental focus. Here's what it generally indicates:
Depth and Intensity: Orcus represents deep, transformative energies and hidden truths. When conjunct Mercury, it suggests that your thoughts, ideas, and communication style may carry a profound and intense nature. You might be drawn towards exploring the hidden aspects of life and seeking deeper meaning in your interactions.
Investigation and Research: This alignment can enhance your investigative abilities and analytical skills. It can be beneficial for research, problem-solving, and uncovering hidden information or secrets. You may have a talent for delving into complex subjects and bringing clarity to intricate matters.
Psychological Understanding: Mercury conjunct Orcus can indicate a heightened interest in psychology, the workings of the mind, and the subconscious. It may facilitate introspection and self-analysis, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of your own psyche and the motivations behind your thoughts and communication patterns.
Intuition and Perception: This conjunction can enhance your intuitive abilities and sharpen your perception. You may have a knack for sensing underlying dynamics in conversations and picking up on subtle cues that others might miss. Trusting your gut instincts and paying attention to nonverbal communication can be particularly important with this aspect.
Communicating Hidden Truths: Mercury conjunct Orcus can bring forth a talent for communicating profound or taboo subjects. You may have a gift for expressing complex ideas, deep emotions, or sensitive topics in a way that resonates with others. Your WORDS may carry transformative power and can potentially inspire others to explore their own depths.
Orcus in astrology – be who you really are or imprison yourself in the eternal “I woulda and I shoulda”…
Orcus in astrology, or more correctly Orcus-Vanth, as it is a binary Plutino, is about: Self-integrity issues (to what extent do we really live our live the way we dreamed it?) – in relation to being imprisoned or feeling free; recording something or wanting to secure something; being very steadfast; being compelling and resolute, in terms of compliance with contracts, intentions, promises; being imprisoned; imprisonment; an extremely desolate feeling either turning into great cruelty or learning to parry it with (gallows) humor; a sharp mind, capable of disruptive statements; torture; death and death symbolism.
Orcus, I’ve been looking at this dude for awhile. He makes a prominent showing in the most notorious events in world history, the Atomic bomb test, the atomic bomb drop over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. All of these events happened close together, and during this period the most obviously sinister thing is the conjunction of Uranus with Orcus. Why do I say this? Well, Orcus is the darkest of dark lord of the underworld, so scary and dark that the ancients dare not speak his name. We think of Pluto as the dude, but he also rules fun stuff like money, wealth and power. Pluto may reign over Hades, but Orcus judges the dead, he decides whether ones eternal soul gets to stay eternal. He is the darkest of dark, guarding the entrance (and exit) of the underworld, keeping souls stuck there. He was also known as the punisher of oaths and agreements where individuals would be subject to his wrath in the underworld. Many of the demonic, horned devil images we think of as Satan, may actually be traced to him. He was often depicted as a half-demon, half-human monster.

So overall, not too good.
If Pluto is dark than Orcus is 50 shades darker. If you’ve watched or listened to my podcast with Helen from Irish Granny Tarot, you may have heard me talk about him in connection to serial killers. I have seen tight conjunctions to stelliums and singular planets or nodes in psychopathic people’s charts. If you’ve heard the show or watched it on YouTube, you know I go on about the nodes a lot in regard to psychopaths, but Orcus is turning out to be another key player. I thought perhaps Ixion would be a key to darkness and psychopathy, and he is, he also plays a starring role in those charts and “evil” people’s natal charts, but Orcus was one that snuck up on me.

So Orcus in your natal chart and in other people’s natal charts is the punisher, the dark side of power, the propensity for cruelty and spite or where and how or who the natal chart holder will want to punish. If it is in the 7th than the individual will punish and project their cruelty on others, in the first on themselves, in the fourth on their family, etc. So consider your chart and where your Orcus is, the sign will give you the nature of how it functions, in Aries it will be aggressive straightforward, in Cancer it will be manipulative.

In astrology, Mercury conjunct Orcus is an interesting aspect that can have different interpretations depending on the astrologer. According to 1, Orcus is a binary Plutino that is associated with self-integrity issues, imprisonment, steadfastness, and death symbolism. Mercury, on the other hand, is associated with communication, intellect, and mental agility 23.
Therefore, Mercury conjunct Orcus could signify a person who is highly intelligent and has a sharp mind capable of making disruptive statements. They could also be very steadfast and resolute in their compliance with contracts, intentions, and promises. However, they may also struggle with self-integrity issues and feel imprisoned in their own thoughts or beliefs.
