“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” — Albert Einstein

Mercury, the cosmic messenger, has been cruising through the sharp, forward-thinking skies of Aquarius, where logic, innovation, and detached reasoning took center stage. In Aquarius, Mercury was the scientist, the rebel, and the social commentator, delivering breakthroughs in thought and a hunger for progress. But now, as of February 14, Mercury leaves the cool, crisp airwaves of Aquarius and plunges into the boundless ocean of Pisces, where facts blur, time melts, and intuition reigns supreme.

This transit lasts until March 3, meaning we have 18 days to experience Mercury’s slippery, poetic, and often perplexing voyage through the most mystical sign of the zodiac. It’s fitting, really, as we prepare to enter Pisces season itself in just a few days—Mercury is giving us a preview of what’s to come, nudging us toward introspection, surrender, and a deeper engagement with the unseen realms.

It's no coincidence that this transit happens as the dystopian events are unfolding on the world stage. Remember the old adage 'as above, so below'. With Mercury transiting Pisces, we're being cautioned against getting lost in head trips and conspiracy theories (classic Pisces territory). Rather than fixating on the constant barrage of political news (I WRITE ABOUT IT HERE) and developments designed to make us anxious (has anyone else aged seven years in just the first few weeks of 2025?), it's time to embrace spiritual practices and healthy escapism. Turn off CNN and curl up with a good cozy fantasy novel!

Mercury isn’t exactly at home in Pisces. In fact, this is where Mercury is both in detriment and fall, meaning the planet of communication decides to take a vacation to the land of 'vague metaphors and emotional outbursts.' So, if anyone needs me, I'll be over here trying to decipher cryptic 3am text messages and pretending I understand what 'vibing' means.

Yeah, it's like that. Except it's happening to everyone. Logic is out, feelings are in, and all communication is now conducted exclusively through riddles wrapped in enigmas sprinkled with a dash of existential dread. Fun times!

That said, this transit isn’t without its gifts. Mercury in Pisces offers unparalleled creativity, profound intuition, and an enhanced ability to pick up on the subtle, unspoken energies in a room. It’s a time for artists, poets, and dreamers to thrive, for spiritual insights to flow freely, and for our hearts to lead the way when logic falls short. But beware: deception, miscommunication, and escapism are all heightened under this influence. It’s easy to get lost in illusions, swept up in romanticized thinking, or tangled in misunderstandings that could have been avoided with just a little more clarity.

Aquarius Season is the perfect time to tap into your unique magic and embrace the visionary energy flowing through the cosmos. If you're looking to connect more deeply with your authentic self, align with the universe’s rhythm, and harness this season's power, my Aquarius Season Guided Meditation is the perfect companion. Journey with me through this powerful ritual, and let’s unlock the creativity, clarity, and cosmic alignment that’s waiting for you. AVAILABLE HERE

On an individual level, this transit can feel like trading in your prescription glasses for a kaleidoscope. Intuition is heightened, dreams become more vivid, and there's a magnetic pull towards the mystical and the romantic. However, the clarity of thought may wane, leading to daydreaming or escapism. It's a time to embrace your inner artist but keep an eye on reality to avoid drifting too far into fantasy.

Navigating Mercury in Pisces:

Set Boundaries: Pisces' energy can blur lines, making it easy to become overwhelmed by others' emotions. Establish personal boundaries to protect your energy.

Communicate Clearly: Be aware that others might misinterpret your words. Strive for clarity in your interactions, and don't hesitate to ask for clarification if you're on the receiving end.

Practice Mindfulness: With the potential for confusion, grounding exercises like meditation or journaling can help maintain mental clarity.

Embrace Creativity: Channel this imaginative energy into artistic pursuits. Paint, write poetry, or simply daydream—let your mind wander to uncover hidden inspirations.

Your Star-Sign Roadmap for Mercury transit through Pisces

As we swim through the confluence of Aquarius season's innovative currents and Pisces' intuitive tides, each sign will experience this transit uniquely. Here's an in-depth look at how Mercury's Piscean voyage will influence you, complete with practical tips to sail smoothly through these mystical waters.

Aries (March 21 - April 19):

Dear Aries, you're accustomed to charging ahead with a fiery zeal, but with Mercury lounging in your 12th house of subconscious musings, it's time to swap the battlefield for a cozy nook. Aquarius season has had you mingling and networking, but now, introspection calls. Expect a surge in vivid dreams and perhaps a few déjà vu moments. While your instinct is to act first and think later, consider this your cosmic cue to pause and reflect.

Practical Tip: Keep a dream journal. Those nocturnal narratives might hold the keys to your next big adventure.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20):

Oh, Taurus, you've been diligently climbing the career ladder during Aquarius season, with your 10th house in the spotlight. Now, as Mercury waltzes into your 11th house of friendships and aspirations, it's time to trade the boardroom for the living room. Reconnect with old pals and let your hair down. Collaborative projects are favored, especially those with a creative or humanitarian bent.

Practical Tip: Host a casual gathering or virtual hangout. Sharing your dreams with like-minded souls can spark inspiring collaborations.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20):

Curious Gemini, Aquarius season has had you exploring new philosophies and distant horizons, courtesy of your 9th house. Now, Mercury ascends to your 10th house of career and public image. Your communication skills are in the limelight—perfect for pitching innovative ideas or leading with empathy. Just be wary of overpromising; your enthusiasm might write checks reality can't cash.

Practical Tip: Craft a vision board for your career goals. Visualizing success can help align your dreams with actionable steps.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22):

Nurturing Cancer, you've been delving into the mysteries of the 8th house during Aquarius season, confronting shared resources and transformation. Now, Mercury sails into your 9th house, urging you to broaden your horizons. It's an ideal time for spiritual studies or planning a future getaway. Let your intuition guide you to new philosophies or cultures that resonate with your soul.

Practical Tip: Enroll in a course or workshop that piques your interest. Expanding your knowledge can provide fresh perspectives.

Leo (July 23 - August 22):

Radiant Leo, partnerships have been your focus during Aquarius season, illuminating your 7th house. Now, Mercury dives into your 8th house of intimacy and shared resources. Deep conversations and emotional bonds take center stage. While vulnerability isn't your usual stage, embracing it can lead to profound connections.

Practical Tip: Have that heart-to-heart you've been avoiding. Sharing your feelings can strengthen bonds and clear lingering misunderstandings.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22):

Diligent Virgo, Aquarius season has had you fine-tuning your routines and health regimens in your 6th house. Now, Mercury pirouettes into your 7th house of relationships. Your analytical nature meets Pisces' dreamy vibe, making it a prime time to balance logic with compassion in partnerships. Remember, not everything needs to be fixed; sometimes, simply listening is the key.

Practical Tip: Plan a date night or quality time with a loved one. Focus on being present rather than perfecting the details.

Libra (September 23 - October 22):

Charming Libra, creativity and romance have been your playground during Aquarius season, lighting up your 5th house of self-expression and pleasure. But now, Mercury drifts into your 6th house, shifting the focus to your daily routines, health, and productivity. Suddenly, the whimsical flirtations and artistic whims are being replaced by an overwhelming need to get your life in order. You may find yourself staring at your to-do list, wondering how you let things pile up so spectacularly.

Practical Tip: Lean into the Pisces flow—don’t fight it. Organize your tasks in a way that feels intuitive rather than rigid. Creative problem-solving and mindfulness will be your best allies.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21):

Brooding Scorpio, Aquarius season has kept you busy tending to domestic matters, with your 4th house of home and family in the spotlight. Now, Mercury plunges into your 5th house of creativity, romance, and joy, inviting you to shake off the intensity and embrace a more playful, expressive side of yourself. Expect poetic conversations, dreamy romantic exchanges, and a sudden urge to start an artistic project. However, be wary of overanalyzing emotions—sometimes, things are meant to be felt, not dissected.

Practical Tip: Indulge in something creative that makes you feel like a kid again—whether it’s painting, dancing, or writing love letters to yourself.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21):

Restless Sag, your social calendar has been in overdrive during Aquarius season, lighting up your 3rd house of communication and networking. Now, Mercury meanders into your 4th house of home, family, and emotional foundations, urging you to slow down and nest. Sentimental nostalgia may hit you like a truck—don’t be surprised if you start reminiscing about childhood or suddenly feel the need to redecorate your space. Conversations with family could be deeply meaningful but also prone to misunderstandings, so tread carefully.

Practical Tip: Create a cozy sanctuary at home—candles, soft lighting, and a good book will do wonders for your soul during this transit.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19):

Capricorn, Aquarius season has had you focused on financial stability and self-worth with your 2nd house in the spotlight. But now, Mercury slips into your 3rd house, amplifying your communication skills, social interactions, and mental processes. You’re thinking faster, but perhaps not always clearer—Mercury in Pisces tends to prioritize intuition over logic, which could be a challenge for your pragmatic nature. Double-check texts and emails before sending, as the potential for miscommunication is high.

Practical Tip: Keep a journal handy to jot down ideas—your insights may come in bursts of inspiration but could easily get lost in the fog if not recorded.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18):

Happy belated birthday, Aquarius! Your season has been all about you—your identity, goals, and personal growth. But as Mercury floats into your 2nd house of money, resources, and self-worth, the focus shifts to your financial situation. It’s a great time for creative problem-solving around money, but also a dangerous period for impulse spending. Be mindful of falling for get-rich-quick schemes or making purchases based purely on emotion rather than necessity.

Practical Tip: Before making any big financial decisions, give yourself a 24-hour waiting period. If you still want it after that, it’s probably worth it.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20):

Pisces, this is your moment. With Mercury gliding into your sign, your intuition, creativity, and personal expression are dialed up to max volume. However, with this heightened sensitivity comes the risk of feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or lost in daydreams. You might struggle to put your thoughts into words, but your non-verbal communication—your energy, your art, your presence—will speak volumes. Lean into what feels natural rather than forcing logic where it doesn’t belong.

Practical Tip: Prioritize grounding activities like meditation, breathwork, or nature walks to keep yourself from drifting too far into the ether. Your magic is strongest when you balance vision with reality.

As Mercury meanders through Pisces, expect the world to feel a little softer, a little more surreal, and a lot more emotionally charged. This transit is a beautiful reminder that not everything needs to be analyzed or explained—sometimes, it’s enough to simply feel. Embrace the poetry, the mystery, and the occasional moment of divine confusion.

And if you're feeling lost in the fog, just remember: the fog always lifts... eventually. Just kidding! Venus goes retrograde March 1st, so expect the smoke from this dumpster fire adding to the fog! But I'll be back to try fan the flames with you later! Ciao for now!
