mercury enters pisces - 09 mar 22

Mercury enters Pisces today at 8:32pm ET until March 27th.  Mercury is in its “ fall” in Pisces, because the gentle, retiring nature of Pisces does not lend itself well to frank communication. We expect people to read our minds, or we misconstrue what’s been said—both possible outcomes.  We are more sensitive under a Pisces-heavy sky (especially with the Sun & Jupiter already here).  Mercury in Pisces increases our desire for spirituality, dreaming, creativity & all kinds of intimacy- sexual and emotional. Boundaries will blur.

Mercury governs technology, commerce, and communication …getting your point across clearly & precisely while considering all the details…but while transiting Pisces, precise meaning escapes and our logic gets hazy.  The signals will get softened and people will be tough to pin down; whether you thrive under this influence or not depends on your own natal chart. Beware: it’s easier to be deceived by our fantasies or by others’ words while Mercury is in Pisces. 

Pisces is the sign of surrealism, of fantasy…so this could be a fertile time for artists - Pisces helps us to loosen our death-like grip on the rational world & make uncanny connections.

Today the Moon is in Gemini, a mutable sign just like Pisces. But Gemini is more cerebral, more adept to switch opinions and approaches in the moment, with alacrity.  In fact, Gemini keeps feelings just out of reach, maybe taking a contrary opinion, just for the love of a heated debate- they’ll forget later, maybe even debate the opposite view, just to mess with you! 😉The Gemini Moon sextiles the wounded healer Chiron in Aries and trines Mars & Venus, both in detached Aquarius- which helps us keep options open in all areas of life and play the contrarian, just for entertainment’s sake. ❤️
