MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES
25th February to 20th March
On Wednesday 25th February
Mercury turns inward in Pisces.
And something in us
turns with it.
The mind softens.
Edges blur.
Time feels less linear, more tidal.
This retrograde does not shout.
It dissolves.
Before it begins,
tend quietly to the practical.
Save what matters.
Reread what binds you.
Speak the words that have been resting in your throat.
Not from urgency.
From steadiness.
When the waters rise,
clarity is kinder to those who prepared.
In the weeks that follow,
slow your speech.
Pause before responding.
Let silence finish what it started.
What feels obvious may not be.
What feels unclear may be revealing something deeper.
Pisces thins the veil.
Dreams grow louder.
Old names resurface.
Memories return, not to unsettle you,
but to complete themselves.
You are not moving backwards.
You are gathering the parts of yourself
left behind in quicker seasons.
Let misunderstandings soften before you sharpen them.
Let intuition guide where logic cannot.
Clarity will come.
Not through force.
Through listening.
Mercury does not truly reverse.
It only appears to.
An illusion of motion,
like overtaking a car on the motorway
and watching it seem to drift backwards.
Ancient sky watchers in Babylon tracked this movement long before its mechanics were understood.
They did not know the science.
They recognised the atmosphere.
When Mercury moved this way,
life asked for reflection.
And reflection reshapes us.
By 20th March,
on the threshold of the Spring Equinox,
light and dark stand in balance.
What dissolved was never steady.
What remains
is ready to move forward.
☆ Journal Prompt ☆
Where am I being invited
to slow down,
not because something is wrong,
but because something deeper wants to be heard?
What is returning now
for tenderness instead of tension?
Write gently.
Let the tide speak.
Love and Blessings ✨️💙✨️
