Is there truly an easy placement for Pluto? When you dig into Pluto, it always seems like crazy sauce.
With it in my 3rd, I'm skeptical of everything and everyone. I know when someone isn't telling me the truth or when they are omitting something significant and in a serious relationship, I have the habit of dropping the truth--which they didn't think I could see--in their laps. That is usually the make or break point for me with others, because if someone isn't prepared to submit to that level of honesty, it's simply time move on and unencumber myself from them.
But the ironic thing about it is that I see into others, but keep myself obscured. When it's time for mutual disclosure (since they've laid their soul bare to me, or I've dissected their soul, whichever), I share something that is honest, but it's never anything truly at my core, it's more like the periphery. I'm not being dishonest, I'm just being careful. Very rarely has anyone perceived the difference. It's just seems ironic to be able to get to the deepest parts of someone, yet to feel essentially disconnected from the desire to reciprocate. And orangehuffybike, it seems like that's what you're describing--that ability to perceive the depths of others, while keeping your own depths safe and separate.
