Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury is in Pisces from February 6-April 14.

Why so long? Mercury spends more time in the sign of Pisces in 2026 due to its upcoming retrograde cycle (Mercury will be retrograde from February 26th to March 20th, 2026).

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.

Mercury in Pisces

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.
