A Dreamy, Watercolor Mess: Mercury in Pisces
Mercury in Pisces: February 6 - April 14
đTell me your dreams. If your nighttimes or naptimes are lit up by your subconscious, your unconscious, or just some really wild dreams, you have Mercury in Pisces to thank. For the next month or two, jotting down your dreams could be a practice worth diving into, if you donât already.
đ¨If creativity is your thing, this transit is for you. If clarity, precision, data, and systems are your jawnâŚwell, maybe there are some practices that can support you through this transit. Letting go of perfectionism, releasing expectations, and/or getting creative are some ideas. Mercury in the last sign of the zodiac is both in its detriment and in its fallâmeaning itâs in its two worst placements in one sign at the same time.
đŞď¸When a planet is in detriment or fall or exile, it canât help us as much. It struggles to do its job. And Mercuryâs job is the flow of information: communication, technology, transportation, accounting. It canât deliver the message, get the point across, count properly. Itâs just a damn mess. This is where our frustration will lie. But we may have some really amazing ideas đŹđ.
Because Mercury also retrogrades here in Pisces, we wonât really get clarity until mid-April. Hmmmm.
THE BEAUTY OF MERCURY IN PISCES = expansive energy. Creativity and abstractionđ. A period of possibility. It may require a re-frame: how can we harness adventure, discovery, mysticism, and spirituality? If there are tasks that can be delayed, how can you fill that void with imagination, reflection, or learning something new? Philosophy and curiosity serve us well during these weeks. So does a sense of humorđ¤Ą.
đTuesday, March 3. Full moon eclipse in Virgo. This eclipse is ruled by Mercury, ruler of Virgo, but also in its detriment and its fall in Pisces right now. So it's MESSY. While we might gracefully (and gratefully) let go of perfectionism and restriction, we also want to avoid losing the facts and data that might go with it. We need those.
đŽSaturday, March 7. Mercury Cazimi: Clarity incoming. Cazimi means âheart of the sun,âand implies crystal clear clarity. A Mercury cazimi is especially potent because communication and the flow of information is Mercuryâs domain. So we receive downloads and insights and breakthroughs, AND we can express ourselves with intention, purpose, clarity. Wins all around.
â¨Monday, March 9. Mercury Rx trines Jupiter Rx. Jupiter is one of the two benefic planets, and itâs the greater of the two. Itâs bringing on the blessings. Your comms get a glow-up today. Hit send.
đĄSunday, March 15. Mercury Rx conjunct Mars. Draft and save. Heat, aggression, and confusion rule the day. Maybe a good day to hold your tongue and walk it out.
đŁTuesday, March 17. Mercury Rx conjoins the North Node. If you didnât say on February 27 when Mercury Rx was conjunct Venus, or March 9 when Mercury Rx trined Jupiter Rx, say it now. Get it off your chest.
âśď¸Friday, March 20. Mercury stations direct. Itâs still a bit mucky with Mercury in Pisces, but at least weâve got forward motion now. Retrograde is over!
đFriday, April 3. Mercury trines Jupiter (both direct). Today is a good day. Bask in the blessings.
đĄTuesday, April 14. Mercury enters Ariesâa much better transit than in Pisces. Mercury also sextiles Uranus. Bring on the awakenings, breakthroughs, and bold ideas. Nowâs not the time to be shy.
