Floating or swimming?

This week Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces, Mercury doesn’t like being in Pisces.  If you’re feeling more tired than usual, don’t push yourself, it’s the energies.  Having vivid dreams?  All part of this Mercury retrograde cycle, and keep a note of them as some intuitive downloads will be happening.

Mercury is the Planet of Communication, so all the usual rules apply when it’s retrograde.  Back up the computer, be patient with tech glitches and get them sorted, check the car especially your tyres, think before hitting send on anything you write or post.  Think before you open your mouth as what you say may be misinterpreted in these muddied astrological waters.

♓Pisces is the 12^th astrological sign, the last one before the new astrological year starts in Aries.  Pisces is a water sign, you could be drowning in emotions that come out of nowhere, or you may be experiencing mood swings and wondering where all these dark thoughts are coming from.  Express them, talk to someone or write it out in your journal.  Try to avoid slipping into poor me victim mode, remember this is just a phase and it will pass.  Pisces is the sign of addiction, avoid feeding your emotions instead allow yourself to feel them, they pass through much quicker that way.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces asks you to go within and listen to your inner guidance, your Higher Self.  It could be a very creative time if you give yourself the space and time to let that come through.  Something or someone from the past may come up, it’s an opportunity for closure and letting go, if the tears need to flow let them, they are your healing rain.  This may be a person, a group, or an identity that no longer suits you.

With Mercury getting soggy in watery Pisces, you may experience foggy thinking – this is not the best time to be making any major decisions.  Watch out for your boundaries getting blurry, even if you are tired and/or emotional, look after your energy and protect it.

Spend time on your own in sacred stillness, or be creative (something you loved doing from the past, a hobby or project may present itself again), listen to Spirit and rest, stay away from anyone or anything that drains you.  It’s an intuitive time, where symbols and signals will be presented to you, you might almost miss them, so be open and aware. 

This Mercury retrograde is about healing, recalibrating internally, and closing the door on what needs closure with forgiveness, it’s about freeing yourself up on all levels.  Allow Pisces’ waters to cleanse your emotions, do water rituals and enjoy a deep relaxing bath often during this transit, or go swimming.  Imagine yourself floating on a spiritual tide that will gently wash away what is no longer needed, and will gently guide you forward and help you swim to your next step.

We are also currently in the Eclipse window, the time between Eclipses.  We need expect the unexpected and deal with it the best we can (or get support).  This window closes on 19^th March and Merc retrograde ends around the time of the Spring Equinox.
