Planets in Profile: Mercury in Pisces

[@laurenpomerantz6202]

I'm a musician with mercury retrograde in pisces in my first house. I performed at a 4 day spiritual conference and there were about 10 professional musicians there. We were amazed that almost all of us musicians hired for the conference had mercury in pisces.

[@jennyesman8995]

🙋🏻‍♀️ I have a natal Mercury in Pisces. I have experienced the negative aspects you discussed, despite the negatives, I love having this placement. After I became aware of the negative tendencies, things got a lot easier with trying to understand others and process information. I feel like mercury in Pisces has a more non-linear way of thinking, making connections between ideas which leads to sometimes very profound insights and ways of learning but also ways of teaching others. I love surreal art and maybe Merc/Pisces has a part in that! I would say there is the tendency to put a shine on sh*t from time to time but awareness of that helps. I say I trust people, information, etc but verify with sources/facts and the ever important gut-instinct. Dreaming, intuition, precognition can be trusted but not completed relied upon as cannon. I’ve learned that trying to “sip from the fire hose” of the constant stream of energies/information can hurt! It’s best to be a river rock, not a sponge.

[@MasterMetaphysician]

Nice balance you've given to mercury in Pisces! I've got Mercury in Pisces 3rd house and I like to remember Einstein's take on it: "Imagination is greater than knowledge". It is imagination that helps us to overcome poverty, it is imagination that assists women to do their own thing, beyond having children, it is imagination that assists one to manifest financial independence, and so on!!!!

[@shanarhinehart1593]

I felt the wave of anxiety just flood my awareness. It sucked as my focus was seriously scattered. So I reached into my Pisces toolbox and am listening to music. I feel the calmness of the structured wordless music. This allows my awareness to flow more fluidly while still maintaining temporal presence. Hard to explain without sounding more knowledgeable than I am. Thanks for this explanation. It helps a lot. Please remind your listeners of this intelligence with beauty concept. It helps.

[@mysticmouse7261]

Einstein, a Pisces, had Mercury in Pisces. Me too.

[@Trinni88]

This is the best explanation I’ve found on the internet so far (I’ve scoured for as far as I can go), showing a deep, nuanced understanding. Thank you.

Mercury in Pisces I have found from past experiences of its transit during my 65 laps around the sun, I have found Mercury in Pisces positive attributes to serve well for the working musician's like myself in delivery of live music and song delivery, and it serves song composition, writing, and music recording in my experiences with it's transit..but I agree, it's a whiny Mercury similar to Mars in Pisces which can be a really whiny placement for Mars,..I know about this whiny-ness oh woe is me, oh sweet Lord what nowwwwwww Godddd whining attributes as I have Mars in Pisces in my natal chart..ahem...choke..snort..cough, ahem...but it also serves my creativity and the musician and musical artist skills I have honed out in myself well, Mercury in Pisces as well as Mars in Pisces do both if applied properly serve creativity and spiritual disciplines and I learned to overcome the challenged tired whiny-ness placement of Mars in Pisces by studying martial arts for decades, turned the placement's negative energies into a positive spiritual warrior quest in discipline and stamina for myself and then use Mars in Pisces to serve my creativity, the music artist in me which it does well.....Mercury in Pisces transit arriving this month is why I waited sat out, no gigs, just had rehearsals and worked honing my bands act the second half of December 2019 and then I sat out thru the month of January till now February before returning to gin mill and roadhouse venue live music stage work. I was born with a Sun in Sag 27 degrees, 6 degrees Libra Ascendant, and 3 degree Scorpio Moon...I have 6 planets in teary whiny crabby cranky fickle water sign placements which makes for a good Blues performer(LOL..with another ahem..), 2 in fire, 2 in air, and no earth sign planetary placements, but just a Chiron in Capricorn,... which leaves me very ungrounded I believe...another ahem.. and so hence produced the whiny traveling Blues minstrel and lot of obvious self deprecating humor in myself in my present life's journey. So that is the natal chart of a 65 year old still working, treading the boards Bluesman...and that's my story on dealing with both Mercury Pisces transits and a Mars in Pisces natal placement, how I use the Mercury in Pisces energy positively, and how I also navigate/navigated my actual natal charts debilitated challenged placement of Mars in Pisces in this life...Some good Blues with your breakfast everyday Grand Master Sifu of The Stars Acyuta-bhava Dasa. Cheers !

[@MelissaThompson432]

My Mars is in Taurus, so I'm basically, "give me a book and a sweet roll and leave me alone!" Not good for the blues. Taurus keeps blues repellent on hand. Not near the sweet rolls, but within reach....

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

Since it went into Mercury my songs have been way better. More motifs, nice stuff coming out. I don’t have anything but south node in Pisces. I like this soft energy.

[@Trinni88]

I really appreciate your sharing. Got mercury and mars too in Pisces, but unfortunately didn’t get the chance to develop musically as a child. BUT, this Covid lockdown has led to me starting with singing, song writing and picking up the guitar! And I seem to have a knack for it! I’m so excited!! Some say that Mars in Pisces is a fantastic placement - like a dark horse style, underrated but special...I’m not sure yet but I hope Mars helps with my music. Thanks again for the sharing, it’s made my day!

[@chris01hall]

I'm a Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter piscean, today I was brave, maybe something else. I had to drive my car, not to far, but without the alternator working in it, and also a potentially low battery. On top of that, unfortunately, here in Australia we had some random heavy rain all day today! And the reason my alternator wasn't working, was due to a fuse that had blow out. So my windscreen wipers were not working too! Over here in the summer, it wasn't an issue a few days ago when this fuse went! However this small trip was going to save me a huge amount of time and effort, I'm also very capable and confident of my driving ability and i knew i could rely on my 16 years of driving. So i headed out anyway and I had your warnings in the back of my mind, I had my fingers crossed but headed out with trust in me and the universe. Obviously the inevitable happened! The battery run out on route, I felt the power going and as I pulled off the road, I chugged up around this corner, there was a free car space just for me a tiny bit more around this bend, and it was using the last little bit of steam that was left. Ha ha. Divine. Luckily a 2 minuet walk away was a garage! they took my battery to charge for the day and said "too easy" no fee :) The rain was relentless and i slowly walked out of the garage. A random lady shouted from her car, do you want a lift! She took me to a bus station, it was a really big help, a first time for everything! When i finally got to work, my phone broke on its own accord, the screen just stopped sensing my finger, and so I wasn't able to use it at all. At the end of the day I did manage to get my car home. Happy ending is that I made it to where I was going , and it worked out in the end. And to be honest I was smiling all day, I was defiantly helped #guided #neednewfone

[@Kait.1117]

I had a day of travel from hell 2 days ago. My 78 year old teacher was driving so slow from NC to Georgia we were basically going backwards. We actually went backwards at one point for a couple hours. 😂 Just glad to be alive after a day like that.

[@claudiahowell9508]

Well... I have this in my chart, Mercury and Venus in Pisces, phew. I definitely dream, so many. I feel like I live with paradox so much so that I sit and stare into space at times. Really have to get a grip to get things done. Did art shows for years, when I had ideas it would take me a while to settle down then I would get intense on production. Aries Sun and Mars. Would feel burn out from the intensity. But also easily distracted, didn’t want to stop to do all the household responsibilities, it interfered with the creative flow. Have to watch my anger. Also deep into Course in Miracles.

[@nellub3]

Just watched "The Music of Silence" - seems like a good Mercury in Pisces theme.

[@sarastrempel2439]

I have Natal Piscean Sun & *Mercury* in the 12th w/Pisces Rising, Gemini Moon. Have MA in Psychology. I'm a Counselor & Astrologer. Maybe my Gemini Moon helped me study. I loved academics & was very focused. Didn't know until my 30's that having Mercury in Pieces, especially in the 12th was considered a detriment. Am very empathic and have had to develop boundaries. It all works nicely for my profession, which I'm passionate about. 😀😉

[@angelaadams2092]

I have Virgo on my Ascendant, my Sun and Mercury are in Pisces in the 6th House. Neptune in Sagittarius in the 3rd house square my Mercury. I am definitely tuned in to the unseen, I know things that others do not. I have Gemini on my Midheaven and my south node in Gemini. I am setting 2020, aside to write a book about my current life and the evolution of my soul through many incarnations, most notably, my most recent past life.

[@Sophiavolivia]

Love this: wise thinking should be beautiful and beauty should be intelligent. This really nails it for me! exspiriencing love is beautiful and otherworldly, like music and so harmonising and through that healing. It’s crazy to think about that all of our matter is moving energy. I would say we all need at least some harmonising vibrations otherwise our health will suffer. I am a virgo rising with mercury in pisces. Connecting to the divine is a big topic for me too, but probably also as a scorpio moon and aries 8th house sun. We can repair a lot within when we connect often to the divine order/ spirit, that teaches a lot of compassion, unconditional love and is so available once we connect. Like pisces it’s boundless. Once felt, it’s like we can integrate it, like a harmony or song that is able to heal us in some way. It is a true purifing, retreading place, where you can receive what kind of healing you need to receive. Yeah but this can feel so pleasant that you don’t want to wake up from it sometimes and do the things that need to be done. Wanna stay in bed all day often but this is not reality:) but on the other hand, many of us or so much on the go and do, and less and the feel and be. We need both. Yin and yang. Put out and receive back in.

[@MAzurburg]

I'm quite enjoying mercury in pisces up until now ☺ perhaps my Pisces sun and mercury is my chart ruler. I feel like it's giving me clarity in stead of the neptunian fog.

[@sandizspot2]

Born Mercury in Pisces. Yep. Pisces Venus Pisces Sun...... I'm just here 65 years worth of Wonder Wow and What? Grateful to be Alive and Still me. Humbled and Blessed Beyond.

[@Astharia]

I have mercury in pisces and I can't do drawings or paintings just because I sat down to do it. I have to be in the right place to channel the energies and not think about what I am doing. Sometimes people just don't get what I am saying ALTHOUGH others tell me I am good with language. I also feel a lot and am easily overwhelmed by my feelings and the ones of other people and places. So prepare for missunderstandings. I also have never met people who share the same taste in Musik or writing style because I like unfamiliar, weird, funny, emotional, dreamy, mystical things(being a pisces sun as well as a scorpio ascendant). I also usually only see my typos after I already send my texts so maybe spellchecking would be a good tip for you guys.

[@lauragodenickastrology3826]

the day Mercury went into Pisces, we had a snow day at my work, so I stayed home all day and played and recorded music with my roommate.

[@gretchenhickmott8286]

Oh man haha this window of time between the Neptune/mars/Venus situation and the mercury in Pisces energy has been a bit of a doozy already for me! I have Venus in Pisces in the 5th house. I turned 40 last week and was super excited to celebrate with my partner and friends. I always throw people fun kooky theme/surprise parties for their birthdays-lots of effort and TLC. I have been so busy with work that I didn’t plan anything for myself but I thought ‘no worries-I’m sure my friends and/or partner will plan something’. Coming up on the day of my birthday I realized no one had planned anything and I hadn’t planned anything so I threw a short trip together out of town and lined up a few fun things (going to a sense deprivation float tank, rock climbing gym, couples massage, etc). My partner, who is lovely and usually very thoughtful, was super grumpy the day we left and throughout the trip and had to be dragged to each of the things I had planned. The first night we got into our Airbnb, he fell asleep at 5pm until the next morning and I found myself eating a bag of chips alone on a couch for my 40th. I am a tough cookie generally and can generally handle disappointment with a sense of perspective (I am also a counselor, Shamanic practitioner-I always aim to see things in perspective, be emotionally responsible + give the benefit of the doubt, etc). But oh god I was so upset, it hit such a nerve for me as I spend so much of my life celebrating and supporting others-this miscommunication of sentiment/appreciation/connection in my intimate relationship & friendships around the 40th birthday I see as soooo mars/venus/Neptune leading to Mercury Pisces ! When we returned form this crappy weekend, we were able to talk about it. My partner was so overextended with work, exhausted, internally struggling and so it was not a lack of recognition as much as it was he just couldn’t-it took a lot of talking and clarification to understand what was what without blame but we did get there and it was weirdly sweet to work through this together (2 Aquarian’s haha) . I keep a keen eye on the transits and thought this was such an awesome example of the transits this last bit!

[@GreatDepressionNovel]

One car down and in the process of buying another. Normally wwd rush in and sign the papers. This time we are taking all week to decide and havent even settled on an exact vehicle! Dont want to make a mistake.

[@ninawetzell2194]

Mercury just entered Pisces in my natal third house. I couldn't figure out why I was having such strong headaches. I believe this transit may have something to do with it. I am making space for more meditation to allow for ease in retracing/realigning/downloading.

[@christopherrichard9455]

Pisces is the place of both the detriment AND the fall of mercury? Fascinating

[@LadyRebecca363]

Hey ya, Your videos are Always clear in your library desk room & this one is coming through odd distorted.🙃🤣 Thank you regardless 🤗 & blessings 🙏

[@Kunjesvari]

wow, it's like you did this one just for me. Sun/Merc/Venus in Pisces, Virgo full Moon, Libra ASC.

[@dharmabum1111]

So interesting. Thank you Acyuta. I'm Mercury dominant (Virgo sun, Gem rising), and love Pisces energy (my water moon). Interesting to hear the Mercury and Venus analysis knowing that both of mine are in Libra. I'm going to move into this transit with optimism and heart, I've got a LOT going on at this time. :)

[@aprilemily7148]

Right before I watched your video on this Mercury topic, I took my laundry to the basement to wash. I hardly slept last night (my insomnia is not uncommon). Stepped into a pool of water. I surprised even ME by not freaking out that the basement is flooded AGAIN (last years Mercury retro was brutal with various floods in my house that I need to SELL). This time the source is the washer which is off but filled with water, creating a pool onto the floor and the bottom of washer is filled with water water. I'm going to wait and see, I put it on spin. It isn't old, but these floods are getting old, and happened during last year's merc retro in pisces, always a new reason for them. Lots of issues too concerning the real estate transaction and signatures. Just need to wait this one out. I'm too exhausted to deal. Then saw your video. Point = Taken. Thank You! BTW, Mercury is transiting 4th.

[@cailin8580]

Neptune,also transiting Pisces, could be responsible for the flooding.

[@aprilemily7148]

@@cailin8580: It absolutely is; trine to natal venus, sun, uranus (in cancer) for awhile. Now transiting venus left and here comes mercury!

[@cailin8580]

Yes,I've had serious plumbing issues too thanks to neptune..🙄 i have mercury conjunct venus in Pisces natally.Hope all works out soon for you.

I was looking for a new job at this time last year and have being happy in my new chosen career since March last year. My email inbox has being flooded with invitations to further discuss the opportunities from the jobs I applied to and went for an interviews a year ago! No, thank you - I am very happy where I am now. Gem Sun+Moon+ Merc with Libra Asc. 😉 Pisces is my 6th house.

Thank you! Great clarification, ,always a learning experience here. (What is the best book to read regarding Greek Mythology relating to astrology?)

[@MelissaThompson432]

Oh, I don't know which book is best for astrological mythology, but I thought everybody had an Edith Hamilton somewhere in their house. Just go in the bookstore and say, "I need an Edith Hamilton."

[@Jo-xj2bb]

Born during the mercury retrograde 6th house 10.9dg Pisces moon ? 🙏🏼🙃

[@MelissaThompson432]

Well, this is being enlightening.... I actually have Mercury in Virgo, and, while I don't think of any earth sign as being unemotional, I can see practical places (outside my personal relationships; I'm a Leo -- I do feelings. And my Venus is in Cancer, which can literally be depressing...) where I choose an intellectual, "scientific approach" response when I could potentially be more "feely." I'll be thinking about this.... ❤🙏

[@MelissaThompson432]

I'm not feeling challenged by Mercury or Venus right now, but I function well in an atmosphere of controlled chaos; I thank my Saturn+Ascendant and Sun+Uranus natal conjunctions, along with that always useful natal Virgo Mercury (conj Pluto, which I definitely should know more about....) Right now is probably a good time to examine my intercepted Mars in Taurus/ Neptune in Scorpio opposition.... (Virgo/Pisces is duplicated with nothing in Pisces.) This is obviously a spring clean of an incarnation.... I feel like my chart is basically a cosmic junk room I'm in the process of sorting out.... The Venus/Neptune axis is part of a grand fixed square, of which I feel Sun+Uranus in Leo and Moon in Aquarius (there's my coolly intellectual influence, more so than Virgo) to a much greater extent. Which probably means Taurus and Scorpio are hiding in dark corners, plotting.... It would be like them....

[@shantielives]

Lol my husband does that he tries to get me to feel sorry for him when he messes up lol, but I never even think of it that way lol my hard core Saturn never sees those kind of tactics lol I'm just like hu no ! That's really insightful because now I understand why he gets mad at me when I don't even see what he's trying to do! Oh my what an epic eye opener we have been married for 39 years and I never saw it 😂 now what do I do because this is not a transit, this is how he is ! Lol looks at his chart hmmmm his Mercury is in Aries in his 5 th house and his Sun there too! lol I guess he needs he's way real bad his way or drama but he does want my approval as well lol ! To funny thanks for the reflection Acyuta-bhava you really bring some light into the darkest places ! Ok then I'm going to stop typing now. Sending Blessings of Peace,Love and Prosperity! Big Hugz Shanti

[@MelissaThompson432]

If he "has a booboo" to get sympathy when he wants emotional reinforcement, look to his Moon and Venus.... And possibly the sign of Leo where it appears in his chart; a Leo loves to be babied if it's done right.... Well, 5th house is Leo's home....

[@shantielives]

melissa thompson Yes his Moon is in Aquarius in his 3rd house and Venus in Taurus in his 6 th house .

[@shantielives]

melissa thompson Yes I'm very aware of Leo energy as I have A 10 th house Leo Sun 23:53 with a with Pluto leading @28:08And a Scorpio asc, with Saturn Planted firmly at 26:24 as a Square. My Leo does love LUBS indeed , but do I always get it 🤔ok then I'm going to stop typing now. Sending Blessings of Peace,Love and Prosperity! Big Hugzzzzz Shanti

[@helenplass9875]

I've heard from other astrologers that if you've got a mercury retrograde in your birth chart then it's reversed; like you have better communication and thinking ability during the retrograde. Did ancient astrologers have anything to say about being born during a retrograde? Similarly, what about mercury retrograde in the solar return? I've got both, mercury retrograde in my birthchart AND about to have a solar return!

[@claudialarsson7439]

Mercury 29°54” Pisces here 😬

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

My partner has mercury in Pisces and he’s very intuitive but not the most discerning. He can’t be interested in an intellectual conversation for the life of him. At the same time he does have a great mechanical mind. Which makes me think he has a great visual mind. So it’s not that there isn’t intelligence in a Pisces Mercury it’s going to be of any other kind that’s not the dry, intellectual, mental one.

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

I should add he’s an engineer. His placements: Mercury in Pisces 6H, Sun in Pisces 6H. Mars in Aquarius 5H, Moon in Sag conjunct Neptune 3H, Virgo Ascendant, Saturn in Virgo 12H.

[@TiagoSantAnaReis]

How nice! I'm Sun, Venus and Mercury in Pisces ♓

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

Mercury in Pisces has brought me super vivid dreams. More creativity for music composing, and nighttime staying up super late. Oh: And people from the past. Maybe it’s the Jupiter cycle? People from 12 years ago asking all for money. Go figure.

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

Sorry, no Pisces placements in my chart. Only south node and 11H cusp.

[@melonybright7538]

Love your videos!! What Astrology software are you using?

[@catherinebruce786]

I am confused. Why did you talk about Mercury and Venus rather than Mercury and Jupiter? In learning Hellenistic astrology I want to know the qualities of Jupiter that replace what I know as the qualities of Neptune as ruler of Pisces.

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

Because we are talking about Mercury's depression vs. its exaltation, which is in an oppositional relationship with Venus across the Virgo/Pisces sign axis, as I explained.

[@loiswolf8934]

I would like a solar return chart reading but will wait till this retro is over. 3/8 is the date of my solar return. I have been wanting a reading from someone who is compassionate. I have been listening to a fairly critical Virgo astrologer with Scorpio rising and a Libra Moon...he puts a finger on ALL MY FAULTS...and he has not even read my chart...he reads on celebs...like Liz Warren..he sais " Eliz Warren is nuts"...asked why he says this...he replies...her Uranus is in Cancer...that is unstable..emotional..she is nuts...or...he mentions Venus in the 12th...automatically goes to marital affairs...( the first one i had was with my father ) ...then mentions things like venus trine Mars aspect as an indication of bi sexuality...charm...charismatic...( true that ) but then mentions..Moon in Aquarius people...are cold...kinky and strange...and have unconventional sexual tastes...he makes a lot of broad sweeping fault finding judgements that have the worst qualities of the shadow within the aspects he talks about...he mentions these things by discussing public figures charts...like Epstein...like Tr.... like Hil....her stellium in the 12...an occulted person...mentions things like i.e. my Mars in the 8th ...automatically says..this is indicative of being violent...and then mars in cap...can go the distance...and the 8th hs being a house of secrets...true again...for me...with my abuse hx. I want an astrologer to look at my chart and maybe look at progressed aspects...how I have evolved with all the challenges...and learned the lesson's...of Saturn in the 7th...in Sag..north node in sag in the seventh as well...learning kindness in one to one...and learning how to be tactful...and not always shockingly truthful...I dont want a fault finding critical glass is half empty demoralizing reading. 56 is the year..st pl mn is place .. I think you can deliver a truthful and hidden strength read...I have 2 grand crosses and 1 grand trine in earth

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

I’ve never ever ever met a child who actually thinks of what they did during time out. 😄 It’s an awesome technique for getting a whiff of quiet and reset the buttons. But there’s very little Virgo thinking going on in a little person’s time-out brain. Jeje 😉

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

Virgo makes Venus critical. And also attract critical admirers I have noticed in people’s charts. It doesn’t make for lack of beauty, which surprised me. But that beauty will be under a critical eye (from others and self). Pisces makes Mercury less discerning, which can make one be duped. But it does open the subconscious realms of creativity. Which can help us seduce and dupe others. ;-) The last sentence was a joke. And also with a kernel of truth. :-) all music and poetry is seductive...
