Mercury Enters Pisces: How Will This Astrological Event Affect Your Communication Style?

Oh, that Mercury, it’s a tricky one, ain’t it? Now it’s moving into Pisces, whatever that means. Sounds like a fish to me. My old man used to catch fish down by the creek, but I don’t know nothing about this Mercury and Pisces business.

But I hear folks talking, they say Mercury in Pisces makes you all dreamy and stuff. Like you got your head in the clouds. Maybe that’s why I keep forgetting where I put my darn teeth.

Mercury, Pisces, and Feelings

They say this Mercury thing, when it’s with Pisces, you feel things real deep. Like when my grandson fell off his bike and skinned his knee, I felt that right in my bones. That’s Mercury in Pisces, I guess. Feeling everything like it’s your own trouble.

I reckon these folks who know about these things say that when Mercury enters Pisces, you start seeing things different. Not just what’s right in front of your nose, but like, what’s behind it all. Like when you look at a storm cloud and know there’s gonna be a downpour, even before the first drop falls. That’s probably it.

• Thinking different
• Feeling lots of things
• Dreaming big dreams
• Seeing what others don’t

Talking and Such When Mercury Enters Pisces

This Mercury in Pisces, it messes with how you talk, too. You might not say things straight out. You might talk in circles, like you’re chasing your own tail. I do that sometimes. I start telling a story about my neighbor’s cat, and end up talking about the price of eggs. It all gets mixed up.

And you might not want to talk at all. Just sit and think, or stare out the window. I like to do that. Watch the birds, watch the clouds. It’s peaceful. Maybe that’s what this Mercury in Pisces is all about. Finding some peace and quiet in your own head.

Folks say you get all creative, too. Like you want to paint pictures, or write poems, or sing songs. I used to sing when I was a girl. My voice ain’t what it used to be, but sometimes I still hum a little tune. Maybe that’s the Mercury in Pisces, making me remember those old songs.

When Mercury Goes Backwards

Then there’s that Mercury retrograde thing. That’s when things really get messed up. Like when you put on your shoes, and they’re on the wrong feet. Or you go to the store for milk, and come back with a bag of potatoes. It’s like your brain is all scrambled.

They say when Mercury is retrograde, you shouldn’t make big decisions. Don’t buy a new cow, don’t sign any papers, just sit tight and wait for it to pass. It’s like a bad storm, you just gotta hunker down and wait for the sun to come out again.

• Things get mixed up
• Can’t find your keys
• Saying the wrong thing
• Best to just wait it out

I remember one time, during Mercury retrograde, I lost my best hen. She just wandered off. I looked everywhere for her. Finally found her a week later, sitting on a nest of eggs in the neighbor’s barn. That’s Mercury retrograde for you. Things just go missing.

Pisces, What’s That About?

This Pisces, it’s supposed to be about water, I think. Like the ocean, or a river. Water is always moving, always changing. Maybe that’s why Mercury in Pisces makes you feel all those different things. Like your feelings are a river, flowing this way and that.

They say Pisces people are sensitive. They cry easy. I cry when I chop onions. Does that count? And they like to help people. I try to help my neighbors when I can. I bring them eggs, or a pie. Maybe I got some Pisces in me, too. Who knows?

Mercury and Pisces Together

So, when Mercury enters Pisces, it’s like those two things come together. The thinking and the feeling. The head and the heart. It’s like when you’re cooking a stew, you gotta have the right amount of everything. Too much salt, and it’s no good. Too much water, and it’s too thin. You gotta find that balance.

Maybe that’s what this whole Mercury in Pisces thing is about. Finding the balance. Between thinking and feeling. Between talking and listening. Between dreaming and doing. It’s a lot to think about, ain’t it?

I reckon it’s like life, really. Always changing, always moving. Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. Sometimes you’re clear as a bell, sometimes you’re muddy as the river after a rain. But you just keep going. That’s all you can do. Keep going, and hope for the best.

And maybe, just maybe, this Mercury in Pisces will help us all find a little more peace, a little more understanding, a little more love in this crazy world. That’s what I’m hoping for, anyway. That, and a good rain to water my garden.
