1. At what point do you consider it a serious contact? Like anywhere below 3 degrees?

2. What does it actually signal in a synastry between couples and people?

I think 5 degrees could still have a marked influence.
The potential for violence and abuse is there.
At the very least , frequent clashes of will that could get very ugly.
Perhaps, if both parties are quite evolved and are prepared to work at their relationship, the wosrt of these aspects can be overcome, but for most couples, they will destroy the relationship over time.

I work on the assumption that synastry orbs should be half of those used for natal charts (since two charts = twice the number of potential aspects).

However, deciding upon the correct natal orb (for a cold reading) is difficult - and then, there is the problem of deciding how much to extend that to take account of our personal knowledge of the chart owner (warm reading).

Hence, the correct orbs can only be determined via feedback from the chart owner. ... If they can recognise/relate to your interpretation of an aspect, it is "within-the-maximum-allowable-orb". ... If they cannot recognise/relate to your interpretation of an aspect, it is "outside-the-maximum-allowable-orb".
__________________________________________________________________

When interpreting a Mars-Pluto synastry aspect, MUCH will depend upon whether it is "easy" or "difficult". ... And you probably know already that the "difficult" aspects are found ONLY in the 2-series of Harmonic Aspects. ... (So, H2/opposition : H4/square : H8/semisquare+sesquisquare : H16 : H32 : H64.)

With the difficult aspects, the underlying problem/issue will most likely be that Mars somehow reminds Pluto of a physically menacing individual from childhood OR of an (unconscious) masculine/Mars quality which Pluto has suppressed in himself (and is now afraid to express). ... And the result will be that Pluto's fear of Mars impels him to attempt to control the latter - psychologically, physically or sexually.

Menace?

Maybe I could help a bit.

A small orb 0-2 deg is (of course) taken into consideration, but a wider orb (5 degrees or wider, as Alegna has already mentioned) is observed too depending on how strong the planets are and what other aspects they build.

BUT - synastry won't tell you much if you don't study individual charts first. In detail. You need to know exactly what Mars and Pluto do in someones chart.

I have them very strong and I attract people of similar energy / who have that aspect natally and / or synastries with that aspect. But, my Mars-Pluto aspect behaviour is not / will not be like yours or someone else's. Of course, there will be some similarities, due to the nature of the planets involved.

Graham is right in his description of this aspect, but those are just a few of the many possible scenarios.
It's true that this aspect can generate huge mutual attraction, passion, insanely intense emotions, a desire to possess each other, etc etc. Pluto multiplies everything it touches, and in this case it does it to its former self, cause Pluto is Mars 2.0. So - explosion.
It can also give a huge repulsion, and in some cases hatred and violence, even in good aspects, and this can happen if one of the partners has a very damaged natal Mars or Pluto, or chart in general. I emphasize "it can happen" but it doesn't have to, and that's why it's very important to look at the separate charts first and then sinastry. A similar can happen if the other side simply does not have the capacity to deal with such energy (so, as an example, they can become violent in defence, even if the danger is not real). Or, there will be no reaction. There're people who do not register certain energies or barely register.

What this aspect actually does, I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned before, is that it forces two people to open up completely to each other - they want to know everything and anything about each other, as fast as possible, inside and out, in Graham words "psychologically, physically or sexually". Mars is most often the first to insist, he is a chatterbox and the initiator and can be tiring or too intruding to old Pluto who likes to be in charge of doing exactly that, but in a more refined way and under his terms. That's why a lot of mutual understanding, patience and adjustment is needed, if it's needed.

On the bright side, if a couple knows how to properly redirect excess energy (provided there is a proper way, that's why you should look at composite chart too), there's no obstacle they will not be able to overcome together. Or, the goal to achieve. It's perfect energy for cooperation. Or anything creative.

how would it rank in terms of sexual attraction compared to other aspects in synastry?

It's often described as the strongest but the most unstable one. From my personal experience, it's stronger than Mars-Venus, maybe even Pluto-Venus.

I have the trine with one person and the conjunction with another. For me, the conjunction is very strong and more intense. It makes me want to act out on my deepest, kinkiest sexual fantasies with the Mars person. I feel like I can be myself sexually and I don't have to hold back. I know most people don't like this aspect but I love it. I don't know about the square and opposition though.

Of course, this is how it works when the other matches you :)
Does the Mars Pluto conjunction person already have something in their chart that supports that energy?

I am not sure about how much it matters if someone does not have those contacts in the chart themselves. In the case I present, the woman has a lot of Pluto contacts to everything but her mars does not aspect much of anything, even though it is in Scorpio.

The one thing I can point to is that it does seem to lead to a ton of jealousy. It seems like the guy gets jealous whenever she gives positive attention to any suitable guy.

It has to be one painful aspect in my opinion because of how possessive it must make the two. They have a trine at 0 degrees, I wonder if it is just the mars being jealous or if Pluto is also jealous but just a lot better at hiding it.

I've got the sextile with someone, and I can vouch for the heated feelings. It's a very unique kind of contact I had never experienced before.
Even holding hands is so intense, we both can feel the sparks flying, I don't dare to imagine how could something more feel...

I have mars square Pluto and parallel with a guy I like. He's mars and Im Pluto. Im not sure how it would play out because we also have very lovey dove aspects like moon-venus dw, venus-jupiter dw, moon in 1st house overlay, venus conjunct mars. But also his Pluto trines my venus and we have moon-pluton dw as well. All under 2 degrees. I feel all these plutonian, Venusian, and lunar feeling for him. Im emotionally, sexually, and physically attracted to him. I don't see how there could be violence though. I really dont see it in his nature to be that way, and I am also not like that.

I asked someone who has it in synastry with her boyfriend about her personal experience with it because I was worried about this aspect. She told me that the worse thing is that their arguments/fights get very heated and emotional. But otherwise it's okay. She said she is also somewhat plutonian so the heavy emotions don't bother her as much.

I hear so many bad things about mars-pluto. I just hope it manifests as just an extra passionate and heavy relationship and not abuse and violence.

What I can vouch for on my end with this aspect is jealousy jealousy jealousy. You hate it when someone takes up more of their time or has more of a role in their life that isn't supposed to. Like if you are a chick chasing a guy and you have this aspect with him, you won't hate him for giving more time to his wife because he is supposed to. What you will hate is when another random girl in your situation is getting more time with him.

Like you almost go "well hey if you are gonna cheat, do it with me doofus".

Hey,

I've got this aspect going on with a person. I might make a post about it later.

I'm the Mars, she's the Pluto, it's conjunct at 2°. I have never felt so sexually enthralled by someone.

The urge is so intense that just seeing her activates the highest signs of arousal within me. Being just in presence with this person is more intense than any other sexual encounters I've had, and I've had quite explosive experiences.

Self-control is needed at first, because this energy made me want to rape the person like a drunk sailor in rut in a filthy inn.

: /

I still haven't "made" it yet. Scared of the violence of this desire. But I will reach my "goal", because yes, as ridiculous as it sounds, it has become a goal now.

Also regarding jealousy, yeah, as soon as we met, when she'd mention "we" in her sentences, I was compelled to ask "who we ?" like an extremely jealous husband who wouldn't mind locking his wife in the flat for safety. : /

I have this aspect with my boyfriend. Pluto square and quincunx Mars DW (less than 2deg). He has Pluto square Mars in Natal.

It was intense attraction at first meeting. Even before we were officially a couple, we were already very possessive and jealous of each other. Sexual attraction and passion were high on the charts.

Arguments can get heated but it's rare. More often one of us will zip when it gets too heated because we both hate fighting... Then it usually ends with passionate makeup.

I don't experience any violence associated with this aspect. He's also not an abusive person. Neither am I.

I had it but we never got close. Energetically it was crazy, I almost had an orgasm once when he approached me without even touching. And I am kind of asexual LOL. I think he felt the energy too, unless I am completely illusional.

He was Mars, I was Pluto. But at the time I was attributing these effects to an exact Moon-Pluto conjunction (him Pluto), as well as an exact conjunction of his Sun and my Moon. There was also his Pluto conjunct my Saturn and Jupiter, his Pluto and Sun trine my Sun. His Venus in Scorpio widely conjunct my Asc from the 12th house and my Lilith & Juno. My Lilith & Juno in Scorpio on his North Node and Uranus. His Mars trine my Mars & Mercury.

So it's hard to disentangle the Mars-Pluto effect. I was mostly cursing the Moon-Pluto conjunction at the time LOL and then I've read all the drama about Mars-Pluto much later.

And yet all this Pluto was not enough to bring us together. Even despite Asc-Vertex conjunctions DW!! This made me question the strength of synastries alone. And even the composite was pretty strong, apart from Saturn on Asc square to Sun in a stellium with Venus and other planets. It's still an enigma for me why we didn't get together while both being single and with some signs of interest on both sides.

I don’t find Venus-Mars hot at all. I’ve experienced the DW and also have tried to date someone who’s a Pisces Venus (I’m Pisces Mars).

I realised that Saturn squares in Composite can cause a block in relationship development. I experienced it with my 1st bf and now with another guy. Something just doesn’t feel right...

Hikaru29, yes totally, Saturn square in a composite is such a red flag. But still, I find it amazing that one aspect like this cancelled everything else. Exact conjunction Sun/Pluto - Moon, Asc-Vertex DW, a huge stellium in a composite. Quite amazing aspects in progressions.

But another reason could be that there was more resonance between my natal and the composite than it was for him. And still...
