Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury will enter Pisces on February 6th, shifting our perspective from intellectual to abstract, as our intuition will become our driving force. Between February 6th - April 14th, it will feel as if we’re walking blindfolded through the woods, using only our intuition to guide us.

Mercury is the planet of communication, perception, thought, learning, language, travel, logic, and how we process, transmit, and exchange information. In Pisces, Mercury speaks lyrically, communicating in a way that’s artistic, expressive, rhythmic, and emotional.

Our style of communication becomes softer, more symbolic, and less detailed as if we’re guided by our intuition, feelings, empathy, and perception. Our words flow like poetry or songs, using imagery, vivid language, and metaphors to help us articulate what we’re thinking.

This is a powerful transit for artists, writers, healers, spiritual workers, and intuitives, and anyone who works with intuition, psychology, or the unseen.

Mercury in Pisces blurs boundaries between thought and emotion, heightening creativity, dream activity, and spiritual insights. Our words carry more nuance during this time, and the meanings behind other’s words are sensed rather than spoken or heard aloud.

However, it’s essential to acknowledge that clarity can often feel elusive during this period. Miscommunication, mixed signals, confusion, brain fog, or idealized thinking will increase. This is because Mercury is considered in detriment and fallen in Pisces. Because of this, we must make additional efforts to listen deeply, ask clarifying questions, ground ourselves, and trust our intuition without abandoning discernment. Ultimately, Mercury’s journey through Pisces reminds us that when we allow ourselves to slow down and tune in, our inner voice becomes the most reliable guide.

This transit will also prepare us for our first Mercury Retrograde of 2026. On February 25th, Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, turning our attention inward and dissolving our need for immediate clarity.

During this time, our thoughts may feel foggy, we’ll find it easy to lose track of time, show up late to events, say things that don’t quite make sense, and forget important details.

We’re being asked to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with subconscious patterns, memories, and inner truths. We’ll learn how to make intentional decisions based on our emotions, not in ways that disrupt, but that help us align ourselves moving forward.

Mercury will remain retrograde in Pisces until finally stationing direct on March 19th under the New Moon in Pisces, marking a powerful moment of mental and spiritual reset.

As Mercury stations direct under this lunation, clarity will begin to return gently, as we find confidence in our ability to surrender to divine timing. For insights into what this Mercury Retrograde will bring our way, either book a reading with me, or make note of everything we encounter between February 6th - 25th, so that we’ll feel prepared for what arrives February 25th - March 19th.
