Mercury in Pisces

We all have an inner knowing, that voice or feeling that directs us subconsciously, our intuition and now as Mercury submerges into Pisces we can hear, feel, intuit a little easier or clearer. Mercury in Pisces is like walking in the dark, you don’t know exactly what is in front of you be you can sense something is there. Facts, information, data becomes a little more obscure, less substantial while our imagination and our sixth sense become heightened.

As Mercury travels through Pisces at high speed, sprinting into Aries after only 18 days, we can feel submerged in the primordial depths of the sign of the fishes. Mercury in Pisces can feel a little like Mercury retrograde because this is the sign of Mercury’s fall and detriment since it is opposite Virgo where Mercury not only rules but is exalted. The quality of communication just isn’t as clear, partly because a layer of emotion can be obscuring reality. There is also the dreaminess of Pisces that can at times feel like a trip down Alice’s rabbit hole. Listen to your dreams right now, pay attention to the subtle nudges you feel. Just don’t fall for the misinformation, the propaganda, and the spiritual snake oil – we should be getting pretty good at identifying these by now.

Mercury rules transportation and commerce, as well as communication. Allow for extra time or a change of plans when scheduling trips, things might not go the way you think but there is probably a really good reason for any sidesteps. Be careful making major purchases, it can be difficult to read the fine print right now because our focus is on the much wider world in front of us.

Let yourself give into fantasy, imagine something wonderful and spend time daydreaming during the next couple weeks. Once the Sun hits Aries on 3/20 it will be full speed ahead with Mercury following a week later, so enjoy this reprieve from reality. Mercury enters Pisces at 8:32 pm on March 9^th and will be there until 3:44 am March 27^th.
