Mercury Retrograde Enters Pisces

Mercury follows Venus back into Pisces, contributing to a pileup of planets in this sign. As it does so, Mercury enters into mutual reception with Jupiter, who is currently holding court in Gemini. Mercury in Jupiter’s home turf and Jupiter in Mercury’s home turf stands to exacerbate retrograde miscommunication. Although planets in mutual reception assist each other in expressing their core qualities, this is one of those times when we might ask ourselves – to what end?
We may not want our affairs to get MORE abstract and convoluted right now, but that is what these planets in their present positions do best: it’s trickster business at its finest! Cosmically orchestrated shenanigans will likely involve spreading or believing in misinformation (accidentally) or reading the room wrong (provocatively). Truth is relative now. It might be something that you can feel in your gut but try to justify an inkling with data and it will slip through your fingers like an eel.
Mercury will spend just over two weeks back the sign of the Fish and just over one week completing its retrograde, but that will be enough to get us through eclipse season and the end of Venus’ backspin. For now, be very mindful of what you *absorb* through conversation, social media and the news cycle. Sensory overload is a real hazard. The remedy might be an odd one: we need a break from interfaces. An interface could be a screen. It may be the medium you use to transfer information (i.e. text or email). It might be a third party that is trying and failing to arbitrate between you and another person. Hazy times require undiluted emotions and intuition to enter the chat. Only during a direct exchange can the feelings necessary to make an informed interpretation be felt.
