What Mercury in Pisces Means

Mercury stands for mind, language, learning and exchange. In Pisces, a mobile water sign under Jupiter and modern under Neptune, he connects with intuition, imagination and compassion. Classically, Mercury is here in exile and fall because it is opposite its sign Virgo. This does not mean less intelligence, but a different way of thinking: in images instead of concepts.

This is how you think with Mercury in Pisces

You think holistically and intuitively. Instead of analyzing step by step, you often grasp connections at a glance. Dreams, music and images can give you answers.

Your imagination is big. Stories, art and spirituality stimulate your mind.

You find dry facts, numbers and strict logic more difficult, especially if they have no connection to people.

This is how you speak

You speak sensitively, poetically and with a lot of feeling for your counterpart. You listen well and often understand what is meant between the lines.

Sometimes you find it difficult to express your thoughts clearly and orderly. You'd rather say something carefully or through the flower rather than hurting.

Learning and decision making

You learn best with pictures, music, stories and genuine interest. Quiet places and creative methods will help you. You make decisions based on your feelings and sometimes you need time to feel what is right.

Mercury in Pisces in love

In love you speak tenderly and understandingly. You feel what moves the person you are talking to and find words of comfort. Romantic letters, poems or songs can be your love language.

At the same time, the opposite sign Virgo can attract you. People who think clearly and accurately help you put your feelings in order. How you love, on the other hand, is shown by your Venus, for example Venus in Pisces, and how you desire and act, your Mars, for example Mars in Pisces.

Mercury in Pisces at work

In your career you will be tasked with tasks where intuition and imagination count: writing, music, photography, psychology, pastoral care or creative therapy. You work well when a task touches you inside. On the other hand, rigid number work without meaning is difficult for you.

Where things can get difficult

Because you intuit so much, you may find it difficult to clearly distinguish what is feeling and what is fact. You sometimes allow yourself to be influenced by other people's moods or get lost in thoughts and daydreams.

The task of this position is to appreciate your own intuition and to give it a secure framework with a little structure.

• Be clear about what you need: A clear word protects you from misunderstandings.
