Pisces Mercury Retrograde

Pisces New Moon - Powerful Intuition

"He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind."

— Leonardo da Vinci

This week begins with a powerfully intuitive Pisces New Moon (7:31 AM PST 4° Pisces) on Sunday that provides much needed help to navigate the retrograde Mercury in Pisces period that is currently underway. We can begin to establish a more nurturing sense of connection — something that we have been craving. We can intuitively sense that by finding our proper place within a larger social and cooperative context, we will be able to take our vision, goals, or ambitions to a new level. In some sense, this represents a broad social reorganization and we must be prepared to operate within an entirely new framework. The more that we struggle to restore the old order or framework, the more pain we are likely to experience. Mars conjuncts the South Node as this reorganization process gets underway and we may find that we need to purge unworkable alliances or toxic friendships. The realignment process is likely to be extremely chaotic and possibly quite painful but it is important to 'stay with the process' and maintain some faith that we will, indeed, emerge on the other side to find a much more productive social or community environment. As we move through the week, we are looking for ways to bring our unique and independent perspective to the new cooperative framework that is forming. Again, the process may seem chaotic — perhaps even threatening. We may need to contend with some jealousy, possessiveness, or defensiveness as we move through the week. Nonetheless there is a powerful synthesis process underway — a notable quality of Pisces — allowing us to mesh or integrate our independent vision within a strong and supportive new social, cooperative framework.

Sunday's Pisces New Moon brings powerful intuition We can begin to see ourselves as part of the larger picture and a broad reorganization begins. Sensitivity is increased on Monday. The sense of connection that we may have felt was lacking begins to open us up to the larger world. There is some sense that we need to jettison some kind of toxic relationships or social involvement. Tuesday's inferior Sun-Mercury conjunction signals a turning point in the confusion of the current retrograde Mercury. However, a Moon-Chiron conjunction in the evening allows for an honest and forthright 'give-and-take'. We can see more clearly the shifts that are underway on Wednesday, suggesting some potential for jealousy and possessiveness. It is important to stay open to finding new solutions. There is a strong sense of independence brought forward on Thursday as we begin to look for ways to integrate our vision, goals, or ambitions within the new framework that is forming. The intensity of our independent vision is even more pronounced on Friday. We reach a breakthrough moment when we are finally able to express how dedicated we feel to our vision. There may be a recognition of some unintended consequences on Saturday — "you can't just change one thing!". However, there is enough stability in the atmosphere to allow us to take a step back and effectively assess our new position within the new cooperative framework.
