As Mercury moves through Pisces from February 14th to March 3rd, we’re asked to engage with our intuition — and shore up our channels of communication. Though Mercury in Pisces excels at expressing itself through more mysterious mediums like poems, tarot spreads, and film montages, it can be fast and loose with concrete details and precise definitions. The messenger planet is in detriment in this mutable water sign, meaning it can struggle to get its point across in a cut-and-dried fashion. With Mercury in this placement, we may be extra receptive to subtle signals from the cosmos, but translating that info may be less straightforward.

Dream deep, but remember to come up for air

Mercury in Pisces is known to get so immersed in dreams, impressions, and speculations that they feel objectively real. So it’s worth interrogating moments when you’ve acted on a gut feeling or a vague hunch without posing follow-up questions to clarify what’s going on. Fact-checking your fantasies is always a good practice, but especially during this transit. Noticing when your mind tends to get carried away can help you pinpoint any life experiences that you may be subconsciously avoiding.

Go with the creative flow

With reliable tools to ground your conversations and sturdy guardrails to solidify your schedule, you can take advantage of the ample support that Mercury in Pisces provides for your creativity and imagination. That being said, remember to balance your focus and organization with a willingness to go with the flow. Over the coming weeks, do your best to wrangle your plans into place, but also prepare for unexpected detours. The less attached you are to a particular outcome or order of operations, the more fun you can have with the unusual magic and trickster energy that Mercury in Pisces brings. Stay open to inspiring surprises, follow through on off-the-cuff epiphanies, and feel your feelings as deeply as possible — then discover what happens.
