The Basics

In Astrology, Mercury represents communication, intellect, and mental processes. It influences how we think, express ourselves, and gather knowledge, playing a crucial role in shaping our communication skills and mental abilities.

Mercury in Pisces highlights your intuitive and creative abilities. You have a rich inner world and a natural sensitivity that allows you to tune into the emotions and thoughts of others.

Your imaginative and dreamy nature can make you an excellent writer, artist, or musician, as you have a deep appreciation for the beauty and mystery of life. However, you may struggle with boundaries and may need to learn to balance your compassion and empathy with a healthy dose of self-care and self-protection.

You, your thoughts, and your ways of communicating tend to be idealistic, imaginative, sympathetic, diplomatic, compassionate, visionary, psychic or intuitive.  On the negative side, you can be lazy, impractical, day-dreamy, over-sensitive, procrastinating, indifferent, and absent-minded.

You may lack a strong desire to work or to push yourself into doing anything that takes a lot of strength, organization, patience, and responsibility.  You would rather work creatively than be a scientist or a mechanic.  Formal book learning may not be your area of strength, yet you can absorb knowledge in the most holistic and remarkable ways if you are interested in the subject area.

You absorb environments like a sponge, and thus you should be careful of which environments you hang around in.  Your nerves and your mental health require you to periodically rest away from the noise of the work-a-day world.  Take some time to be alone with yourself to regroup.  But not too much time, as you have a tendency to get carried away with yourself and your problems.  

You dislike being pinned down to facts, and you follow your instinct rather than logic.  You are intuitive and able to sense what others' thoughts and feelings are, even before they say anything to you.  Sometimes you get so immersed in your own world of thought and imagination that you overlook things in your immediate, tangible environment.  

You are extremely open-minded and believe that anything is possible.  Supernatural or spiritual forces seem just as real to you as anything in the concrete world.  You are highly intuitive, if not psychic and often form an opinion about a person or situation without much factual knowledge of them, and your impressions are usually correct.  Healing using visualization techniques or healing through the laying on of hands may appeal to you.  

Keeping your mind positively occupied is essential, as day-dreaming tends to go off in strange directions.

Cosmodynes

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores to see whether your Mercury is Harmonious or Discordant.

While everyone has good and bad days, your Cosmodynes reveal where you lean toward on average.

(As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)

Transits to your Mercury, especially from the outer planets, can greatly affect its expression as well.

  • You may struggle with practicality and have difficulty staying grounded in reality.
