Mercury in Pisces
Mercury enters Pisces on February 24 and Aries on March 11, so its stay is exceptionally brief. So, how will this affect you, your thought processes, and the way you communicate? All will be revealed in the following article! But first, we take a look at the mythology between Mercury and Pisces.
Mercury and Pisces Mythology
In Greek mythology, Mercury is the fastest god of all – Hermes. He penetrates the sky, giving messages to the gods and the humans on earth, and even enters the underworld, Hades' lair. There, he helped guide the souls of those who passed to the afterlife.
Pisces is the god of the ocean – Poseidon, brother of Hades and Zeus. Aphrodite came from the ocean and offers great power; however, the most important thing to note is that there are no boundaries with the ocean; its force is so mighty.
This association is essential for Hermes moves fast and accurately, his association with Mercury ruling the mind, which must be contained to function properly on the planet. However, Pisces, ruled by Neptune (Poseidon), cannot be contained.
The Mercury in Pisces Effect
In general, Mercury in Pisces people have minds that can see beyond what is presented in front of them. Their minds can penetrate worlds and dimensions. They can often see the supernatural, are very psychic, have dramatic dreams that are often prophetic, and in business, they easily see "out of the box" solutions.
They can be exceptionally creative in business. Unfortunately, they can read people's minds all too easily and can be very sensitive to others' opinions. These people are also susceptible to substances of any kind that can alter moods, feelings, thoughts, or actions, and they must avoid these substances at all costs.
It's important to note that when Mercury is in Pisces, it is in its detriment. So, how will this affect you?
