When Mercury transits Pisces from February 14th, 2025 until March 3rd, 2025, we lose the abstract, eccentric, off-the-wall thinking of the Mercury in Aquarius transit and we replace it with something altogether more soulful and thoughtful.
On March 15, 2025, Mercury will turn retrograde in Aries and continue its retrograde motion into Pisces on March 29th, 2025. On April 7th, 2025, Mercury will turn direct at nearly 27 degrees Pisces.
Instead of projecting our thoughts outwards into the world, we tend to turn inwards, examining ourselves and our spiritual journey so far.
When Mercury transits Pisces, emotions are everything. Our thoughts and feelings are colored first and foremost by our emotions, and thinking is most definitely done more with the heart than with the head. Pisces energy is exceptionally sensitive, so when Mercury is in Pisces, we are very easily moved, both to laughter and to tears.
This energy is reactive. Any piece of news, no matter how trivial, will spark an emotional reaction during this transit. We process everything very deeply and personally.
Pisces as a zodiac sign is highly intuitive too, and so when Mercury transits Pisces, our intuition is heightened. We are more in touch with our sixth sense, and more willing to trust gut feelings in decision making.
Many of us probably notice synchronicity more or are more inclined to trust forms of divination such as tarot or scrying to help us clarify our thoughts and our future direction.
Imagination is greatly heightened when Mercury transits Pisces too. This can be a wondrous thing, and this transit is truly exceptionally helpful for writers, poets, artists and creatives.
However, an over-active imagination can also be harmful, especially for anyone who is already prone to worry or anxiety. It’s important when Mercury transits Pisces to try to keep a sense of perspective and to not allow vague fears to spiral out of control.
When Mercury is in Pisces, our spiritual vibration tends to be higher and our levels of consciousness are more malleable. For this reason, many people seem to experience more psychic or paranormal phenomena during this transit – this can be an unsettling experience, or an amazing one, depending on your point of view!
