Mercury X Pisces by: Erin The Urban Mermaid
March 14, 2022Mercury has had a bit of a world wind of travels thus far in 2022, back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius with a retrograde to boot.
On March 9, 2022, Mercury enters the dreamy and psychic sign of Pisces where it will stay until April 8, 2022.
Let’s see what this transit has in store for us FireandLux fam. . .
In case you forgot, LOL, Mercury is the planet of communication, how we process information, our thoughts, our language, the details of things, short travels, clarity, organization and focus. It rules over both Gemini and Virgo and their respected house. Mercury likes logic, likes things to make sense, likes when light is shed on otherwise cloudy issues, which makes its stay in Pisces a bit of a conundrum.
Pisces is the 12th and last sign of the Zodiac. It is a mutable water sign ruled by the planet Neptune. This means it is more open to changes, more flexible but also one who brings things to birth or fruition, especially driven by emotions. Pisces and Neptune rule the 12th house, the “House of Karmic Debts”, which is where we can find what hidden traits and such we are karmically meant to work through and resolve this life.
Pisces is a very psychic sign, they tend to have one foot in the spiritual world and one in the physical one, not exactly making the most grounded sign. They tend to run away with their thoughts and emotions. Which is why creativity is their greatest asset to channel the emotions of themselves and others they take on. They are kind and romantic but are also known to be a bit delusional, play victim and believe their own manipulations.
So how will Mercury in Pisces affect us this time around?
Things are about to get very deep.
The mind is a complex place and if there isn’t a balance between staying grounded in logical thought and being open, creative and imaginative, the pendulum can swing drastically. And in the case of Pisces we can really run away with our thoughts.
Because Mercury also rules our conscious and subconscious mind, we can expect some really imaginative dreams during this time. Our minds are in a place where they can extend to the edge of the horizon and then some. It is a time for openness and it’s a place where the some things are just beyond expression or words. We may be able to see and comprehend things we previously could not grasp.
Pay very close attention to the most important element of this transit – your intuition. It is your guide when your logic seems fuzzy, which is bound to happen. Allow your communication style itself to soften, to allow for more emotion and flow, and more empathy for others. You may catch yourself lost in daydreams, which if you can utilize for desires and manifestations is a wonderful thing, but not as a full on escape from reality.
The shadows of Mercury in Pisces may seem heavier because, astrologically, Mercury is considered detriment here. This is because what Mercury represents and what Pisces represents, oppose each other. Being vague, escaping reality through fantasy, feeling like your thoughts are fuzzy, having trouble staying on track, and even finding yourself saying things that don’t make a ton of sense (yet).
Staying grounded is always a challenge whenever Pisces is involved, so make mental grounding practices a priority during this time.
Mercury in Pisces offers us a great gift, to strengthen our intuition, learn to trust and follow it and to explore endless possibilities.
Remain open to anything FireandLux fam!
