Today Mercury stations retrograde at 22* Pisces. This is a very dreamy transit, and, for the next three weeks, your intuition must function as your only guide.
Mercury’s analytical mind can feel lost in the oceanic consciousness of Pisces, and we have been experiencing this energy for the past couple of weeks. Now Mercury will go retrograde, which can add to the confusion and lack of clarity. Expect shifting boundaries, moving goalposts, vague miscommunications and misunderstandings.
With conscious astrology we always ask, what is the highest expression of this energy? Every aspect and transit can be interpreted on many levels, from the shadow to the light, from the mundane to the spiritual. No aspect is all (fake) positive, and no aspect is all doom and gloom either. Life contains the whole gamut of experiences, and indeed, this is a very Piscean quality - to integrate all into Oneness, and see the beauty in everything.
The important thing is to see where Mercury is moving in your chart. Locate 22 - 8 degrees Pisces, where it will move until 20 March. This area of life could be prone to misinterpretations and confusion.
We currently have a lot of fire energy, as we have just stepped into a fire element year, and Neptune and Saturn are both in Aries. Next month we have the Spring Equinox and the Sun will enter Aries, bringing cardinal fire and a strong sense of direction.
This Mercury retrograde cycle is clearing out any remaining confusion you may have about your path, any areas where you doubt yourself and your abilities, and any last traces of emotion from things you have healed within yourself.
Mercury retrograde in Pisces can bring out untapped emotion. It appears as if from nowhere, and suddenly the floodgates are open. Let it flow out, and you will feel much cleaner.
Mercury in Pisces is like a light in the fog. You have to focus on it and move towards it. Mercury, at its highest level, is the Light of the Mind. Not simply analytical, Mercury is the Divine Messenger, which is always online.
