When Mercury moves into Pisces it will impact our communication style. We may find that our interactions require a different level of understanding, compassion and care. Words can land differently and we may be more sensitive to our surroundings and in social settings.
Mercury is in detriment in Pisces which means it doesn’t quite gel with the Pisces’ vibe and therefore finds it difficult to operate or express itself as freely as it would like. Mercury is a messenger, a mediator, a liaison who craves information and interaction. The tendency to ask questions out of interest or curiosity may seem a little too invasive right now. Filling a pause with chatter and noise will not land well either. We may have to be quiet and resist the urge to speak, bite our tongue if we must, out of respect for another point of view.
During this transit we may become more aware of our dreams and be able to hold onto them longer when in an awakened state. The subtle messaging sent to us by our subconscious mind as we sleep may not be so elusive and will begin to make sense. Heightened intuition is also likely during this transit.
Whilst Mercury is in Pisces, we could find ourselves lost in thought, carried away by our imagination making it very easy for our minds to go off on a tangent when needing to concentrate. Although sometimes it’s the different tangents or side quests which lead us to places of inspiration and wonder, physically and metaphorically. We could also find it hard to rationalize our reasoning and play the victim if challenged. We may suffer from brain fog and have difficulty holding onto a thought or idea.
Over the next 6 weeks we could also feel the need to let our feet do the walking to see where they take us. We may find ourselves on a path which is less familiar but more interesting. Taking the time to leisurely roam around our local area could refamiliarize us with the places and people that lie just outside our gates or beyond our fences. We might find ourselves paying closer attention to things we hadn’t noticed before.
In a couple of weeks Mercury will turn retrograde in this sign which will provide an opportunity for further reflection and introspection.
