MERCURY RETROGRADE AND DEBILITATED: THE STRANGE CASE OF MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES

By / ASTRO BLOG

EYE ON THE SKY: MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES

Beware the Ides of March is as much feared as Mercury retrograde which is in process until April 15th now .  We discussed that this Mercury retrograde is more complicated because it is in a constellation ruled by Saturn and getting aspects by Mars and Rahu with the Mars square exact on Wednesday, a day ruled by Mercury and the Rahu trine within 3 degrees over by April 4th.

The good news is that natural benefics like Mercury do better retrograde and it is picking up the energy of another benefic Jupiter but also the malefic energy of Mars now.  Retrograde Mercury is thought to cancel out the debilitation of Mercury but in reality it is still a problem.  Remember to drive safely on Wednesday with the square of Mars exact and avoid arguments and fighting in the car.  Be alert for the other guy. I have found myself dodging cars all over as they seem oblivious to who is on the road.
The problem with Mercury in Pisces it can lead to over-thinking and endless talking and it will be more intuitive than logical and more spiritual.  That makes Mercury a fish in the water of Pisces where it should be grounded in the logic of an earth sign like Mercury.  Still intuition is helpful.  It can be more empathetic and creative for solving problems but there are a lot more of them with computers and things not working.   Use the Mercury retrograde to develop your intuition and solve problems that way. I am finding that the answers to things are coming to me easily.
  Still Mercury is exactly debilitated at 15 degrees Pisces and that will hit on April 5-6th and then we get it again later in the month when Mercury goes forward.  Bottomline: The Mercury direct in Pisces between April 15-May 9th may be the most difficult part of the transit  so rejoice in your intuitive powers for now.

“This almanac is truly a masterpiece and labor of love. Barry is a gifted astrologer and writer. I have written yearly forecasts for over 30 years and understand the work, knowledge and dedication involved. It is so complete with everything a beginner or advanced student of astrology would need. The references to the planet’s transit through the signs, nakshatras, aspects, dates and times, plus their interpretations is fantastic.
