Mercury in Pisces - The Messenger’s pilgrimage through Neptune’s waters
Feb 6 – Apr 15
Retrograde: Feb 26 (22º Pisces)
Direct: Mar 21 (8º Pisces)
Hello my beautiful souls, Mercury has moved into Pisces on February 6, and the mental atmosphere changed.. the mind stops trying to solve everything, and starts trying to feel it. The air clears in one way.. and gets misty in another.. Thoughts become less linear and more tidal, you remember things you were not trying to remember, and you sense meanings you cannot fully explain.. you pick up what is underneath a sentence, not only what is being said.
And this is only the beginning of the Pisces wave.. Venus follows into Pisces on February 10, the Sun follows on February 18, and Mars follows on March 2.. one by one, the cosmos keeps turning the volume up on sensitivity, surrender, devotion, the invisible.
Mercury in Pisces is the messenger moving through water, and water does not speak in bullet points, it speaks in dreams, body sensations, sudden grief with no obvious story, tenderness that arrives out of nowhere, music that cracks you open in the supermarket. Intuition becomes louder than logic. And there is a need for honesty that comes from depth.
You may notice your mind wanting to drift.. not because you are avoiding reality, but because your psyche is metabolizing something. Pisces is where endings blur and identities soften, and you realize you have been carrying emotional residue that never belonged to you. Mercury here makes you more porous, telepathic, more impacted by tone, energy, and atmosphere. It can feel beautiful and overwhelming, depending on how protected you feel.
This is the season of listening differently.
Mercury in Pisces can make conversation more soulful, poetic, and true, and people speak from feeling rather than clarity, and messages get missed, details can be fuzzy, time is weird, promises blur into intentions.. The mind wants to merge with the moment instead of organizing it.
So the medicine is simple.. slow down the speed of your words and let your body be part of your thinking.. Let silence have a seat at the table. Let sleep, water, music, solitude do the work. Pisces asks for devotion to the invisible and spirit.
And then.. on February 26, Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, and the inward spiral begins. It is not interested in fixing, it is interested in remembering, it pulls old conversations out of storage and replays sentences you thought you had already moved past. It brings back the feeling you filed away because life did not give you time to process it. It asks you to notice where you have been speaking from confusion and have been agreeing too quickly.. where you have been swallowing truth because it felt easier than naming it.
Pisces does not argue, it reveals.
The retrograde can feel like fog, and the fog has intelligence. It slows you down so you stop forcing clarity that is not ready, and it dissolves the mental grip so deeper knowing can rise. It becomes a sacred sorting.. what is yours, what is not yours, what is intuitive truth, what is emotional projection, what is real, what is fantasy dressed up as vision.
On March 21, Mercury stations direct at 8º Pisces, and the current begins to move forward again, not in a straight line, more like a tide returning.. Pieces click back into place and words start landing again, you hear yourself differently, and you realize what was being rewritten underneath the surface.
And when Mercury finally exits Pisces on April 15, you do not just understand more.. you feel clearer, and your mind has been washed. Your inner world has been reorganized by mystical water.
This is Mercury as mystic.
Keep your communications clean and your boundaries soft, but real. Double-check the practical details many times if needed, then let it rest, be guided by frequency. If something feels off, listen closely. If something feels holy, listen as well.
This is the promise of Mercury in Pisces.. your mind can become a divine instrument for spirit and your soul, and the music it makes when you stop forcing it.. is medicine.
