Mercury is in Pisces from 22 March, 2009 to 06 April, 2009

Lord Mercury entering Pisces is one of those run-for-the-hills combinations. In Pisces, Lord Mercury is both in its detriment and in its fall, so it is doubly debilitated. Lord Mercury is very strong in the opposite sign of Virgo, where it is both exalted and in its own sign. Therefore, it will be very weak in Pisces. Pisces is an amorphous, fertile sign, which is antithetical to Lord Mercury’s logical nature.

Also, Lord Jupiter is such an expansive sign, that Lord Mercury is quite lost in the signs ruled by Lord Jupiter (Lord Mercury is also in its detriment in Lord Jupiter’s other sign, Sagittarius). Lord Mercury in Pisces is something like electing an accountant to be priest. It just wouldn’t work. It is true that Lord Mercury is a son of great Lord Jupiter, but Lord Jupiter never agree with that truth and abandoned his son. On other side Lord Mercury never forget to give high respect to his father Lord Jupiter. Now this tragedy is Good or Bad for the person who has Lord Mercury in Pisces in Kundlee. Good, if the person concentrate on Art and Music with full dedication and obey full advice and instruction of his/her Guru or Master, he/she can become a genius in their field. Bad, if the person follow opposite, get the opposite result. Now again this is basic outcome, to predict perfectly, astrologer needs to consider the other things as well, like other planets, the Ascendant, etc.

If Lord Mercury is in Pisces in your Kundlee, you’re about to have a Lord Mercury return. Let me know if this coincides with anything interesting happening for you. I have not yet observed Lord Mercury returns to be powerful in my own chart, or those of my clients, but I am always open to new information. Lord Mercury is not well placed in Pisces house, but it does not necessarily doom you to a life of inarticulate expression, despite what a few ancient astrologers say. Hopefully, Lord Mercury is aspected by a strong planet or conjunct a strong fixed star, to help pull it out of the soup.

If Lord Mercury rules an important house in your Kundlee, Lord Mercury’s passage to Pisces would be a good time not do anything related to that house. E.g. If Lord Mercury rules your second house of money, this is probably not the time to invest, but you may be stuck with doing your taxes since it is that time of the year. If that is the case, have somebody else do your taxes. Somebody whose second house is not ruled by Lord Mercury, preferably. All you will have to do is sign on the dotted line, and even with Lord Mercury misbehaving, that should not be too problematic.

Lord Mecury is in Aquarius from 05 Mar 09 to 22 Mar 09

Lord Mercury is entering into Aquarius sign from 03:41 of 05 Mar 09 and will stay upto 21:37 of 22 Mar 09.

The planet of thought and communication is now in the sign of universal understanding and breakthroughs. You’ll likely begin having new insights as to how you are communicating your wants and needs to others, and will be able to express yourself with newfound clarity and originality. Your bright new ideas may get you the results and attention you want.

Mercury, the planet of the intellect, is very smart in inventive Aquarius. Fresh perspectives emerge from an awareness of synthesis—how the pieces fit together. Conceptual structures grow like crystals as the mind reaches out in new directions.

Aquarius, deceptively named the “Water Bearer,” is actually an air sign. Air signs, the others are Gemini and Libra, have the gift of detachment and the grace of objectivity.

As a fixed sign, Aquarius is interested in values—in this case mental ones. The mind is strong and able to mix and match increasingly different ideas into a cohesive whole. The challenge, however, is that such complex notions are not necessarily easy to communicate. Mercury, the communications planet, generally prefers simplicity, which may be harder to come by for now.

In principle, Aquarius is open-minded. However, fixed signs are strong-willed by nature. This can lead to some conversational difficulties during this period. Tolerance for opposing points of view is vital if real dialogue is to take place. A bright person will appreciate that there is always more than one way to view a situation.

Yet, the intellectual nature of Mercury in Aquarius can overpower emotions and rationalize them away. Aquarian detachment brings objectivity, which helps us see, but often makes it more difficult to feel.

Hari Aum

Mercury retrograde from 26 May to 19 Jun 2008

Here we go again… Mercury goes retrograde once again. It happens 3 times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks. This time is from May 27 to June 19, 2008. Then from September 24 to October 15, 2008 and then from January 11, 2009 to February 1, 2009.

This is an important period, and we should be aware of the effects associated with this astrological influence. Since it is so often, we must learn what it means and how to take advantage of it.

Astronomical background

There is no real backwards movement of Mercury; it’s just that we see it this way from Earth, because of the combined movement of the Earth and Mercury around the Sun. However, astrologically this is very relevant.

General influence of Mercury retrograde

Mercury rules over the mind’s processes, studying, communication, businesses, travels and the like. When Mercury reverses its direction, all these areas are affected as well.

The mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more the own thoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious and eager of new intellectual experiences or challenges. This helps the meditation or the thorough lonely long-term study of a specific matter, but it affects the study of new subjects, the communication with the others, the attention oriented outwards.

Businesses, travels and communications tend to experience delays and different problems. Computers and other processes that work with information may experience crashes, unexpected failures.

Don’t enroll to courses, don’t buy expensive Mercurian items (books, cars, mobile phones etc.), don’t sign important contracts and do not marry.

What is this Mercury retrograde period good for?

It is definitely a very good period for some actions. No time is completely bad for anything, there is a reason in everything happens.

The key is the reversed direction of movement: take any known Mercurian action, reverse its flow, consider the keywords “re-doing something”, “double-checking”, “finish the old projects” and there you are, you’ve found the good side of Mercury retrograde.

For instance, you may want to read again a book you particularly liked, a subject you studied before, meet and discuss with old friends you haven’t met for a long time, travel to places you’ve already been to before.

This is an excellent time to work on old projects that never got to be finished. So, think about the things you started and never finalized.

Next, you might wish to prevent any bad things to happen to you: so double-check your agenda, call your business partners to confirm that everything goes as planned, have everything ready before the deadline and leave some extra time for unexpected events. Make copies of your important files and documents, save your work more often.
The other solution is to go on vacation or at least slow down the pace of your projects. You will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn’t performed right the first time.

Above all, be generous and compassionate: you are already aware about the influence of this period, but the others aren’t aware of it or there may be uncontrollable events. That’s why you should have more diligence with the others and give them some more time. It’ll be your mental health that you’ll be sparing actually.
