Mercury in Pisces

Key words: to represent, to create, visual, to feel, to sense, compassion, intuition, to inspire, expressive, to help, to unite. The placement of Mercury in Pisces gives the thought process a clear emotional coloring. Such children think and feel simultaneously. They are extremely sensitive and susceptible to the strong influence of both their surroundings and other people. These children, whether they need it or not, absorb the views of other people. They need to be more thoughtful about other people's ideas and opinions and each time decide what is good for them and what is not. Their surroundings affect their thoughts and mood to such an extent that sometimes these children may fall into depression or get sick. They need to learn to protect their inner world from external influence and become more independent. Otherwise, they will suffer from difficult mood swings throughout their lives. They not only won't be able to control it, but also won't know the reasons for such changes. A certain dose of cold-bloodedness won't harm them. If they learn to look at the world more objectively, their life will become much better and happier. Children with Mercury in Pisces are extremely sensitive, have a remarkable imagination, and are poetic. They are dreamers and fantasizers. They can enrich this world, make it more beautiful, and bring a part of the Great Beauty into it. Teach children to clothe their ideas and images in material forms. Often they have the abilities of mediums. They love fantasy and love stories and, as a rule, spend a lot of time in daydreams. This may be good, but it would be better if during school lessons they didn't float in the air. You need to explain this to the child very gently and tactfully and help him in some way. It would be useful for such children to read poetry and good literature, which will help them learn to express their thoughts in a more precise verbal form. It is quite possible that they will grow up to be excellent poets or talented prose writers. They need to learn to be themselves - with their own views on the world, ideas, values, and their own life philosophy. Only then will they be able to make their life more stable. Children with Mercury in Pisces are too receptive, they deeply absorb the thoughts and views of other people. They are like sponges, absorbing everything. By the way, music is a very good way to calm them down, lift their mood, or even inspire them. All school subjects dealing with bare facts are of no interest to these children. But nothing can be done, school is school, they have to memorize a lot of uninteresting things, and they even have to do math. Try to interest your child in something - it is quite within your power. And most importantly, remember that children born with Mercury in Pisces are extremely emotional, and the way to understand their world lies only through feelings... In a conversation with a child, show more emotions, use the word "feel" as often as possible. Such children have a strongly developed visual perception, so you need to supplement your stories with descriptive descriptions. You will have to become a good storyteller if you want the child to really understand you. If the child misbehaves, simply say that you are upset and disappointed. This will work without fail. You can also ask what they would feel in your place. Just be gentle with them - demanding, but gentle. If you have a hot temper, try to control yourself in a conversation with a child. Give the child the opportunity to realize their rich imagination and their amazing creative abilities. Children with Mercury in Pisces are talented, they can create truly great works of art. Having the opportunity to express themselves, they will be happy, and then communication with them will bring you great joy.

Here, apparently, is the weakest position of Mercury, since it is in a water sign as a guest of Neptune and Jupiter, i.e. here there is a very strong influence of ideological attitudes (Jupiter) on thinking, and on the other hand, an even stronger influence of ideals, intuition, and feelings (Neptune). That's why the thinking of a person with such a position of Mercury will be a bit "blurred", because it operates not with structured concepts, but with certain images, or rather mythologems. You are usually open to all information, but critical thinking is not your strong suit. In addition, you may have high suggestibility or be heavily dependent on the settings laid down in childhood. And this is where the traditionalism of thinking comes from. Sometimes it's hard for you to distinguish reality from fantasy, so it's necessary to constantly verify your thoughts with real life and check everything with life experience. In situations where there are no objective criteria, you should rely on traditions and authorities. In general, such a position of Mercury makes for good students. Most likely, you are capable of learning, since you have an intuitive ability to grasp any information. Since Mercury in Pisces can be a conduit for deep information, you are able to bring out your ideals and the depths of your soul and express them. This position of Mercury is characteristic of the horoscopes of great musicians, artists, and actors. Sometimes you can simply intuitively read information or have quite unusual channels for receiving it, possibly even certain extrasensory abilities. You have a good sense of what information has depth, mystery, or hidden meaning, and where something is left unsaid. You only need to be given a little, and you will intuitively sense the rest. Moreover, you don't see the text or symbols, but rather the picture, i.e. you read information through meditation, by immersing yourself in the flow of information. A "bad" Mercury in Pisces gives laziness, lethargy, and dreaminess, when it's hard to distinguish reality from illusions and fantasies, and you're detached from the world. At the same time, you are a fairly soft person in communication, although sometimes it seems like you're not here, but rather floating in the clouds. But on the other hand, you really understand the deep meaning, even inarticulate speech, because you sense what's behind the words, although for this, you need to come into contact with reality. You tend to be idealistic and often poorly sense the surrounding environment, how people really relate to you, and who is in what kind of relationship with whom. Although you do have this feeling, it's quite blurred, and you can't clearly express it. That is, you feel these relationships internally, but you can't rationally confirm them. Therefore, you may have pangs of conscience because you think badly of people, but in reality, you just sense what lies at the depth of relationships. You are a very affectionate and kind person, often needing good relationships and protection.

A vivid imagination, a passive mind, good memory, and a tendency towards telepathy. They easily succumb to external influences, as they unconsciously merge with the thoughts and feelings of those around them. An actor on the inner plane. The influence of the subconscious is strong. A tendency towards neuroses and addiction. Inconstancy in decisions and relationships with people, as well as a tendency towards daydreaming and absent-mindedness, cunning, insincerity, and imitation, since they have few ideas of their own. Self-sacrifice for the sake of an idea. They are quiet, shy, and easily offended. They should be more objective. You are more of a poet than a logically thinking scholar. You have an easy and effortless grasp of the language of music, art, and poetry. You possess the ability to think in abstract and symbolic images. Sometimes, translating your thoughts and impressions into concrete, everyday language can be difficult for you, which may result in you making a lesser impression than less intellectual people. This situation often arose in your childhood, when you probably often got lost in daydreams. Thanks to your developed intuition, you easily grasp what others think and feel, even before they say anything to you. Often, your impression of a person or situation is formed without actual, detailed acquaintance with them, and it usually turns out to be correct. You can be absent-minded, becoming so deeply immersed in your thoughts that you do not notice what is happening around you. Your mind is open to everything, and you believe that nothing is impossible. Intangible or spiritual forces are just as real to you as anything else in the material world. You have two greatest gifts - imagination and benevolent understanding of the people that life brings you into contact with. Possible speech defects, constipation, and colds in the legs.

Mercury in Pisces indicates that all knowledge the owner of the horoscope acquires is due to intuitive perception. Intellect, filled and overflowing with feelings, is suppressed by the strongest intuition, the richest fantasy, vivid, lively imagination. These people possess knowledge not taken from books, they learn things in a peculiar way, rarely struggle with explanations, and are not in vain called a walking encyclopedia. They have a talent for instantly adapting to any requirements of a given situation, circumstances, people, and things. They possess the ability to absorb large volumes of impressions and information; they have an excellent memory. By nature, they are kind, hospitable, and cheerful, sensual and sensitive, very receptive and impressionable, with potential sensuality and phenomenal abilities. They have a strong psyche, mediumistic abilities. They are well-versed in people. The main areas and fields of their activity are medicine and healing, occult and secret sciences, astronomy, astrology, hypnology, psychotherapy, psychology, sociology, the world of arts - literature, poetry, music, singing, history, archaeology. They are predisposed to everything mysterious and secret, unknown and unexplored, to mysticism and the world beyond. Often they either delude themselves or mislead others. They are the best indicators, the strongest mediums. They well perceive the thoughts and mood of the surrounding world, easily instill their will in others, keeping them under their spiritual power. Often they seclude themselves and shut themselves away in solitude and just as often join secret groups, societies, lodges, and unions.

Mercurial Pisces attempts to communicate and interact through symbolic systems, though initially (Mercury in detriment) they struggle to do so effectively, as their true feelings and subtle energy are poorly conveyed through such means. Mercurial Pisces enjoy vivid, expressive speech and poetry; if Mercury is aspected, they may excel as translators (both oral and written). A well-developed Mercury grants the ability to master languages and symbolic systems that allow them to transmit the fine cosmic energy and information inherent to Pisces; this Mercury placement is characteristic of preachers. When afflicted, there is a tendency toward deception through ambiguous speech, evasiveness, and an inability to articulate thoughts clearly, along with excessive chatter as a vice, replacing genuine empathetic connection with empty discussions and reasoning. With harmonious aspects to Mercury, there is extraordinary linguistic agility and the ability to evade any problem or unpleasant situation—a Mercury placement typical of courtiers. Overall, Mercury accentuates Pisces’ plasticity, exacerbating (at a low level of development) all their characteristic issues (inner uncertainty, dependence on environment and circumstances) while expanding their potential through systematic refinement, which must include, as a crucial step, resisting the temptation to waste subtle cosmic energy—particularly through speech—even to the point of taking a vow of silence.

As your child thinks, learns and communicates. Your child possesses a very vivid and rich imagination, which should be directed towards poetry, painting and music. They may have a natural talent for acting or singing. However, by nature, they will not be too practical or inclined towards logic. The child will behave quietly, answering questions with only "yes" and "no", instead of further developing their thoughts. This is because they want to return to their own world as quickly as possible. They will be drawn to everything spiritual, romantic or shrouded in mystery, rather than abstract or detailed activities such as mathematics or natural sciences. Your child will learn like a sponge, absorbing and digesting information in one go, rather than in separate steps or small details. When memorizing dates and lists, they may experience difficulties; however, they will find it easy to understand the fundamental concepts. In fact, they may struggle to express in words what they understand quite well.

A vague, mediumistic mind, entirely dependent on sensations and intuition. The structure of thinking is often disordered and poorly adapted to everyday life; the desire for material gain is alien to it. Warmth, the ability to understand another and look at things through his eyes. Foresight, altruistic ideas, mysticism: reason can be dependent on faith. With the unfavorable influence of planets - excessive gullibility, irrationality in reasoning. Chaos and confusion of ideas. In such a mixture, a spark of genius can sparkle... Attacks of silence can be followed by an uncontrollable flow of words: either silent like a fish, or chattering like a magpie!
