I love the treadmill. I love love love love the treadmill. And the other day I realized why. And I realized why when I hurt my toe and couldn’t use the treadmill and had to use this other machine where the feet just STAY THERE. Ugh.
What I realized, remembered, was that there are pressure points on the bottom of the foot! Apparently I LOVE (need?) having these points worked on and probably explains why I also love walking and how there was deeply something missing when I couldn’t use my machine of choice. There are also, of course, the endorphins to consider, which get released under a certain amount of exertion.
This realization made me think of Pisces because Pisces rules the feet. Shoes, boots, and stockings too. Even pumice!
Mercury enters the sign of Pisces this evening, slipping into a conjunction with Neptune right away so break out the peace pipe and your angel cards! Connection to the Divine is easier than ever with Pisces Season afoot! (For more on Pisces this week look here!)
And I’m trying to remember if I have any pals with Mercury in Pisces and I don’t think I do. Would we even need to speak to be heard? I have Mercury in Cancer trine Neptune with Neptune in the 3rd House (which is a Mercury House, naturally ruled by Gemini) so I get a dose of Pisces through this aspect.
Watery communicators, they say, are anything but straightforward (well, except Mercury in Scorpio which I find to be exceedingly straightforward). I can’t really tell though. I know that I make leaps upon leaps upon leaps. And that some people get me and some people don’t. And one thing in particular that I realized from a pretty young age is that REALLY SMART PEOPLE get me and like me, even if their thinking process is different than mine.
Where’s your Mercury? What are its strengths? Weaknesses?

15 thoughts on “Mercury Enters Pisces! Talk Amongst Yourselves”
Mercury – Aries, 6th house, conjunct Ceres/Chiron/Sun, trine MC, square saturn (widely). I’m direct. I may pull back when I feel I can’t deal with something, but I won’t tell the other person that I don’t know what they’re talking about – that’s messing with them. I will say that i can’t talk about it right now. I will also admit if I’m feeling too worried to check something, or talk about anything.
In the past, I would walk away and let things sort themselves out. I had faith that things would work out. Even though I’m surrounded by good people, and am taken care of (at least for now), I no longer have that faith.
I do know that anyone who has me wrong, *is* wrong, and that is just fine with me when I feel good; when I don’t feel good, and they continue their little digs and stir some more? continuing to believe that their projections are the ultimate truth? No. Just, NO. You pick on me, you deal with me until you cut it out.
“And one thing in particular that I realized from a pretty young age is that REALLY SMART PEOPLE get me and like me, even if their thinking process is different than mine.”
I was just thinking the same thing about myself. I’ve been all torn up trying to sort something out, when the other people were just as in the wrong as I was – misconceptions on both sides, but whereas I admitted to that, and tried to sort it out, they adamantly believe their own projections. I’ve been avoiding them, and felt better yesterday, but woke with a bad feeling today, and am sure they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about where I’m concerned, even though I haven’t even visited. The fact that they would continue, knowing what shape I’ve been in, is incredible to me. My parents don’t thank them at all.
I agree with Mercury in Scorpio being more direct.
I like my Mercury, though it has it’s challenges.
Mercury in Scorpio Rx, conjunct Pluto and Mars in Scorpio (all in the 4th house), square my 7th house Saturn, sextile my Uranus and Neptune in the 6th, square my Leo ascendant, and last but not least,trining my moon in Pisces in the 8th.
I can look at each of these aspects and think of an example of how it plays out in my life (I’ll spare you ;p). I want to say that EVERY SINGLE thing Caroline said is exactly true for me, seriously, even the dreams lately.
The Mercury Retrograde and conjunct Pluto are two aspects I’m becoming more familiar, or aware of. The retrograde is more introspective, gives a kind of vague difficulty in articulating when it comes to certain things, and an irritating pattern of repetition at times. I actually hate speech repetition- I even dislike it in music. As for my Pluto, I have an intensity in my communication that even I’m not fully aware of, though other’s notice it when I’m least aware of it (is this dangerous? :p) I can also spot and have low tolerance for lies, scat talk, and verbal manipulation. I could go on, but yeah, in a word, my mercury and it’s aspects- DEEP. Or intense. Ok I’ll have to go with a phrase. DEEPLY INTENSE. 😉
thanks for not minding the rants and ramblings- I enjoy it soo much- I don’t have anyone to talk to that directly understands my astrological talk, so I really appreciate this awesome outlet, and how you make me think and look within and at my chart. 🙂
Thank you too
Hi 🙂 Oh the dreams! Happy to hear I’m not alone, it is such a mixed bag of emotions after waking up from such a dream! I love this astro outlet too 🙂
**And one thing in particular that I realized from a pretty young age is that REALLY SMART PEOPLE get me and like me, even if their thinking process is different than mine**
I get you loud and clear on that one – Cap Mercury in 3d with Uranus and Neptune there – while some get ‘alien talk’ when i open my mouth, others say i have a very unusual/inspiring mind .. I’ve heard so many times “they dont get what i’m saying” and not because of the way i was saying it – but because of what i was talking about, i was pretty much forced to forge my Capricorn horns .. i wasnt ‘born’ with them ^ ^
I know some Pisces)(Merc peep’s, depending on their singular aspects too obv, but – allmost too much of a cliche – generally, mentally they are VERY slippery, no much fixations on their parts …. Some of them i noticed been highly talented in latent hypnosis, you could call it fine arts of manipulation too, but i dont mean it in a bad way .. For all in matters, it’s a very pacifistic type of mentality, rather than arguing they play with words, and that if they manage not to get scared by mo/re/st agressive types .. It’s an enjoyement conversing with such versatile minds imo <3 ^ ^
I have Moon/Venus/Mars in Pisces, so anything that enters this sign is most welcomed from my point of view .. I scored jack-pot with the Neptune homecomming, hehe ^ ^ Have very sensitive feet's obv, self-massaging them is part of my daily routine .. Most time of the year i'm bare feet, sleeping with socks fex – god forbid – would be the equivalent of putting a plastic bag over my face and tying it arround my neck – brr. Btw, i simply LOVE jewellery for feet's and ankles ! ^ ° ^/ <3
The trademill, hm .. You know, i spoke once with this medical astrologer Lynn Koiner, and she mentioned that anybody with a heavy packed 2nd house/or heavy-weigthers in there like Saturn or Jupiter fex could have problems with a lazy or stagnant Chi …. maybe you'll find it interesting 🙂 ~
Welcome, Sha. I was told once by a Chinese medicine doc that I did have stagnant liver chi! A pretty common diagnosis but prob true.
Well yeah, it is pretty common, and Pluto/Moon peeps sure would be the first on the list to ‘catch’ it 😀 .. digesting emotions, letting it all go and letting it out of the system .. something diametrally opposite to the nature of the Taurus/Scorp axis, pretty much 🙂 .. ~
totally agree – and true abt the taur/scorp axis!
I have mercury in cancer, too. And moon in Virgo. And I sometimes feel like I’m getting lost in translation. It doesn’t happen often (but it’s comical when it does, like “who’s on 1st”) and its largely text messages which are troublesome. Can a planet have too many aspects? My mercury is in the 7th, sandwiched between Venus & Saturn, exactly conjunct Lilith, trine Jupiter in Pisces, square Pluto in libra, semi square mars in Leo, quincunx Neptune in Sagittarius, and opposite my cap ascendant. I make leaps but I think of my mind as BUSY. Very busy. If you trust standardized tests, I’m smart but I wonder if all those connections aren’t a hindrance (other than when they obviously are). I think it’d be lovely to not have a thought in my head sometimes. When I first began meditating, it was challenging. All of this aligns more closely with what I know about air/Gemini. I have s. node in Gemini but I also have a lot of cardinal stuff happening. And now I’m rambling 🙂 making leaps. You don’t have to post this 😉
Virgo Moon *alone* is very very busy. And busy personal planets, such as your Mercury, denotes activity. You are prob rarely bored. Sometimes I open up a chart and check out the list of aspects and some people will have a planet with very few and then some have tons, even more than your Mercury list here — The houses: all the areas of life that are touched. The aspect itself is the HOW. Thinking of my own chart, most of my planets are at the later degrees so almost everything aspects each other. A few notable exceptions though…
Your Mercury: you can be your own worst enemy I think. Resting the mind can be even more rejuvenating than you realize. I also remember your NN is in the 12th– this points the way but shows the challenge in getting there.
Ah, mercury in Pisces here. Sometimes when I try to be funny people think I’m being serious and like totally don’t get me at all, and then it’s really hard for me to explain myself! haha. Retrograde, just about conjunct my sun. Hard to put words to a lot of things, emotions. Just feel them instead. I say a lot with my eyes. I don’t like bullshit though, and am generally upfront and honest with people. I’ve always been fascinated with dreams and dreamwork. And lately I’ve been having conversations in dreams with people from my past that seem so real I wonder if they are really happening on some level.
I wonder if you “speak” through art, Caroline. Music, for example. That’s cool about the dream stuff. High level Pisces! And the dreams probably are happening on other levels. I believe that. You may also be working through necessary stuff, healing.
Woot! I’m a really smart person and I think I get you, though I see that our thinking styles are likely different! 🙂 I’m a Merc in Libra in 6th person. When my Mars is behaving, I can deal with people with class. But I really suck at making decisions sometimes, especially when I don’t have all the info. I used to be too nice, but learned that I needed boundaries. Oh, and I am AWESOME at arguing from the other side of a debate, even if I don’t believe in it!
You sound like a super Libra!!!
