Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury is in Pisces from February 14-March 3, 2025 and, soon after, from March 29-April 16.

Why the two date ranges? Mercury travels through the full sign of Pisces this year, but later, while Mercury is in Aries, turns retrograde (on March 15th) and returns to Pisces on March 29th. Mercury ends its retrograde on April 7th, and it leaves Pisces again on April 16th.

When Mercury is in Pisces, our thinking processes are more visual, intuitive, and imaginative. We are especially attuned to the world of emotion, which colors both our thoughts and our communication style.

We guess well, express ourselves with imagery, and make decisions intuitively. We are more attracted to consciousness-raising information.

It’s not always easy to verbalize our impressions during this cycle. We don’t enjoy pinning down, labeling, or strictly defining things. We recognize that life isn’t always logical, and we prefer not to think in black and white terms. We’re sensitive and impressionable, which means we can take in more than usual and it can sometimes overwhelm us. Pisces needs periodic time alone or within to regenerate and detox.
