Mercury in Pisces in the BirthChart

Mercury in Pisces indicates a more active imagination and an almost photographic ability to visualize thoughts and memories. People with this position tend to be very intuitive, virtually using telepathy to communicate with those closest to them. The problem is that they can end up being influenced by subliminal suggestions as well, since they unconsciously tune in to the thoughts and moods of those around them.

 

They reach conclusions more easily, not through logical and concrete reasoning, but rather based on an almost unconscious abstraction and intuition. They learn more through external stimuli, with everything that happens around them, than locked in a classroom. If Mercury is afflicted in Pisces, the mind is in danger of becoming so caught up in memories that it distorts the perception of reality. The imagination can also become darker.

The individual may be overly sensitive and may feel that any remark about them is a personal criticism. They may need to learn to become more impersonal in their reasoning and perception of reality, and in that, this position is like having Mercury in Cancer.

 

Total empathy

 

Understanding is also a hot topic. Many, in addition to imagining, can even feel what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes, either because they have been in similar situations or owing to their immense empathy. The sign of Pisces is like a sponge, absorbing everything good and bad that goes on around people with this positioning. Because of this, such people’s emotions can be easily manipulated, and they can readily be deceived or exploited if they do not pay closer attention. This is why it is always good for them to surround themselves with nice and friendly people, in addition to looking for environments with good energy. 

 

In the world of the moon ♫

 

Pisces is a Mutable sign and their unstable emotions can cause hesitation when it comes to reasoning, making decisions and communicating, with a tendency to daydreaming and even sleep-walking. Their creative imagination gives them an active mind, but it also opens the door to moments of distraction. It is not uncommon for them to take private trips and isolate themselves from the real world. The fact that they like to be reserved and keep their thoughts to themselves can result in shyness and isolation. It can be a clever idea for them to try to express themselves more in their personal relationships and avoid getting immersed in their fantasies.

 

Due to Mercury’s extreme sensitivity and imagination in Pisces, there is a great artistic streak in this position. Many can become actors, designers, writers, poets, musicians, or engage in any other artistic expressions; they can even become software and game programmers, as this is also a position that tends to entail more abstract intellectually and one that more readily understands “chaos” with greater ease. Regardless of however much logic they may use in their functions, programming languages, for example, have a certain abstraction, a very subjective hierarchy and complexity in their greater concepts and data grouping. Something that can be interesting and seductive for those who have this position of Mercury.
