Mercury in Pisces, Aries and Rx in Pisces and Aries 2025
With Mercury in Pisces until the 3rd March 2025, his move into Aries on the 15th March and his upcoming retrograde, we have a really cool opportunity to explore how we relate to Pisces and Aries energy, in our inner and outer worlds. Mercury rules our thought patterns, and communication styles and methods. With a lot of outer planets moving into Aries, Mercurys time in Pisces and Aries and retrograde season gives us an amazing opportunity to examine our relationship to this energy, so we can use the energy of the bigger planets moving through to our advantage. Another thing that is cool, is that the lunar nodal axis is in Pisces/Virgo. Our collective souls journey at this time is to work towards a balance between Pisces and Mercury (ruled by Virgo - the current lunar south node) energy. It’s a really important time for working on our evolution as a collective.
In Pisces, Mercury invites us to examine how we relate to surrender, and surrendering to the artistic flow of life. Its also about examining your boundaries with other people, and do you view the world around you through rose coloured glasses, or do you have a healthy discernment about the world and your place in it? What do you tell yourself about surrender and boundaries?
When Mercury moves into Aries on the 3rd March, our thoughts and conversations will be more ego focused. The gold is in discovering how to come from a place of a healthy ego, and to be able to direct your self inspired movements in a way that also honours and respects the needs of others around you. What stories do you tell yourself about your needs and how you go about getting them? How do these stories influence your relationships?
With the retrograde starting in Aries on the 15th March, we have the opportunity to reassess how we connect to our gut instincts that inform our ego driven behaviour, and internally work through this process. Mercury will be conjunct Venus (the planet of how we relate to others), for much of this retrograde in Aries, so we will be inwardly focused on how our behaviour affects our relationships. How does this affect our growth as humans? Are you stuck in a mindset that keeps you trapped in a relationship thats not right for you? Do the stories you tell yourself come from your raw, unfiltered gut instincts, or are they influenced by what others say or do?
When he retrogrades back into Pisces on the 30th March, we get to rediscover our relationship and thoughts on connecting to the divine and source. We will have examined how we relate and relate to others from a place of a healthy ego, now we get to rediscover our connection to oneness, and how that affects us when it comes to our relationships. Mercury and Venus will be conjunct for the rest of Mercurys retrograde, meaning that we have the opportunity re-examine our thought processes on how we relate to others. Some themes to explore are our boundaries, are we energetic sponges soaking up others energy with blind compassion? Do we over nurture and show compassion when its not needed? Do you self sacrifice for others? Do you have any signs of spiritual narcissism (putting down others spiritual beliefs because you think your beliefs are superior), or is someone in your life acting high and mighty because of their beliefs while putting down the beliefs of others? I feel like the spiritual narcissism piece is important here with the north node in Pisces, as a collective we are being encouraged to surrender and be more accepting of others beliefs, even when they differ to our own. To show compassion and acceptance for others, while maintaining our own sense of connection in a way that feels right to us individually.
When Mercury stations direct in Pisces on the 7th April we can examine what we have learned from our re-evaluation time, and start taking outwards movements (or start applying our new skills in learning to surrender to the flow of life). What have you learned about your boundaries with others? How can you show more healthy discernment in your boundaries? Where can you surrender and flow more?
And finally, when Mercury moves back into Aries on the 16th April, we get the opportunity again to connect to our hearts desires and healthy ego, and take more inspired action in how we relate to ourselves. To open up to new experiences and new streams of consciousness that are available now we have done a deep dive on how our through patterns affect our relationships with others, and the stories we tell ourselves that affect our relationship with our own healthy ego, spirituality, and our relationships with others.
I would love to examine what area/s of your life will be activated by this retrograde! It will be different for everyone. I have spots available for astrology readings, book here via my website!
