They want to experience as much of it as possible, learn and accumulate knowledge, establish their own principles and understand their own identity. This path of initiation, of self-revelation and self-reflection, will create some issues though, mainly related to how they must eliminate the old to receive the new. This conflict that goes on inside of them is called cognitive dissonance, the contradiction between what the individuals know to be true and new information that goes against his knowledge. This expansion of the mind translates to an increase in words spouted per second. Just kidding, but the Pluto in 3rd house natives are notorious for ranting and rambling on and on, constantly, until you shut them up forcefully. Communication and harmonious exchange of information, these are the basic founding principles in their case. The process of assimilation never stops, knowledge keeps pouring in, and their needs get even more substantial. Inspiration comes from their philosophical method of perceiving the world, what they attribute to being the essential thing in life. Being in equilibrium with this mindset and with the world itself is the proper path toward the self-illumination that these natives want to achieve.

Pluto in House 3 can be resumed as intellectual gluttony. It's a very interesting aspect as, someone with this position of Pluto just never seem to be satisfied with the knowledge they have, consistently seeking more. There is an inherent restlessness that nothing can soothe. Here we find bookworms of course, but overall - there is someone who feels the need to categorize, classify, organize, name, learn, add, accumulate, overall; understand the world. The 3rd House is a house which isn't so concerned with discriminating new information, more so that it is concerned with always getting more: More perspectives, more content, more knowledge. As Pluto is compulsive and obsessional - it can become a sort of race for the person to always accumulate more. And accumulate is a key word here - When the 9th House is about assimilating, the 3rd House is more so about accumulating, and it is something to watch for with this position and why I used the word gluttony to begin this post. The 3rd House wants omniscience, gathering ALL the knowledge so that, eventually one day, we can form an opinion that is full rounded, with "all the facts". The challenge with this position of Pluto is to make sure we find a sense of unity in the thought. The challenge is to learn how to accept that in order to have an opinion, a perspective, a belief, we do not need ALL the facts available to mankind, we only need relevant facts. Because the truth is this, depending on your belief, perspective and opinion (9th house) you will find facts (3rd House) that support it. Aiming for objectivity and thriving for more facts, in order to form an objective belief/opinion is a noble cause, but it's a pointless one. The truth is, there is just too many facts about any given subject to perceive them all. This is what a 3rd house Pluto is trying to grapple with. The 3rd House is where we find thoughts patterns and communication, and with this position of Pluto there can be a tendency to monopolize the conversation, dominate the conversation, or speak more than you listen. You'll say - a lot of us do experience this issue, but Pluto in House 3 can become a very intent listener, capable of actually taking the time to hear what the other person has to say, and you know why? Because Pluto here can take listening as yet another activity to gather more facts. Another great gift of Pluto in House 3 is one of curiosity - the same curiosity that push them to accumulate new knowledge, can be used for relationship skills - being curious, instead of judgemental or indifferent, to what other people think and/or have to say. 

An individual with Pluto in House 3 is compelled to move beyond a superficial understanding of all that is trivial. In fact, they believe that knowledge is power and also empowering, and the deeper we understand something the better. With Pluto there is tremendous depth and it is often referred to as the mind of the detective and researcher. When passionately interested in a subject, they never let up and will leave no stone unturned until they reach to the bottom of something. The ability to ply information out of others, in a sometimes probing and forceful manner may be evident. However, they usually hate it if somebody else analyses them in the exact same in the same way.

Psychological topics may be of interest, as they enjoy delving into the minds of others. Sensitive, dark and taboo subjects can also appeal, and an interest in the occult and all types of unsolved mysteries in the universe. Pluto here has a deep well of resources in the 3rd house, writing, communicating, and speaking are areas in life that where they have a profound effect upon others. What the person says carries emotional weight and it is not taken lightly by anybody. Pluto in this position enjoys deep conversations and reaches the heart of the matter. Healing through all these channels is possible, but sometimes there is difficulty in conversing with other people and there is a secretive, hidden, and extremely quiet manner.

If you actually use the written or spoken word to convey your deeper feelings, your writings will be aimed at altering the very way in which we look at life. In short, in one way or another, you aim to introduce a more profound intellectual tone to your surroundings. When they feel the need to share information and knowledge, they go in for the kill. They are determined to make an impact, positive or negative. Pluto in the 3rd house can also have a deep knowledge of their local area, and nothing passes the powerful senses of survivalist Pluto. The individual could be deeply paranoid and worry about street crime and local criminals. Pluto in some cases kills off all communication and some talk so much and dominate a conversation that no one gets a word in edgeways. Conversation can stop dead, if they reveal too much and say something that is considered taboo, destructive, ugly and even unnecessary. However, it could be necessary, because they hate superficiality, and there is a need with all Pluto placements to survive and no more is the instinct stronger than in the 3rd house sphere.

The Plutonian conflict may be shown with neighbours and there are power-struggles and tensions. When the mind is exposed to the underground, on an intellectual level, they comprehend things deeply and it’s difficult to be superficial and take things lightly. There is often a heavier outlook and a deadly serious view on topics. If other people’s views appear trivial and shallow, they seek to bring exposure. Brutal honesty is present, but most the time they need to have something profound to say. Taken to the highest possible transformation, knowledge is power, and being so gifted at seeing other people’s psychology, they know just what to say and how to have the greatest impact. You rarely accept what you hear or what you read as truths. Your mind is very analytical and you instinctively search for hidden meanings. You can be exceptionally persuasive in the way you express yourself, whether through the spoken or written word, simply because you communicate with authority, conviction, strength, and decisiveness. You tend to learn through observation rather than by asking questions. In fact, you may be somewhat resistant to learning directly from others, preferring to be self-taught.
