Mercury, the planet of travel, technology, and communication will move through creative and intuitive Pisces from March 15th to April 3rd, with an exact conjunction taking place on March 29th. This day will find all 12 signs of the zodiac in varying throes of mental, emotional, professional, and creative chaos but don’t let this scare you, as there are plenty of good things in store as well. Keep reading to see how your sun sign can make the most of this powerful conjunction.
When fast-moving Mercury meets the eldest of the 12 zodiac signs you can bet the fiery and impatient ram, conversely the youngest of the signs, will be bristling with urgent energy. You may have gotten off on the wrong foot in the past, Aries, but you’ve still got plans down the pipeline and dreams that have been festering in the dark for too long; now is the time to dust them off and put them in motion, only now with the added benefit of hindsight.
Your goals have undergone a drastic reevaluation since last year, leading to the inevitable parting of ways with certain individuals, as well as certain ideas about yourself. This has left you in a state that feels similar to grieving in many ways but don’t lose heart, Taurus. The celestial bull isn’t easily toppled, even in moments of doubt or hardship, and the inner work you’ve done on yourself is about to be rewarded in a big way.
3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Mercury, who rules the astrological twins, typically bestows your sign with a number of surprising gifts when it makes its transit through Pisces, a sign also recognized by its symbolic duality. Indeed, you frequently struggle with the conflicting facets of your quicksilver mind, Gemini, and hate when others mistake your dizzying, fleet-footed nature for flakiness. Pay no mind to the haters, as the end of March will finally reveal the keystone for keeping it all together.
4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
With communicative Mercury going conjunct with fellow water sign Pisces, you’re bound to see a shift in friendships both new and old. Because the celestial crab is ruled by the moon, your Cancerian emotions and perceptions can also move in phases, and rise and fall accordingly with the tides. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll suffer a frenemy gladly. March’s conjunction could very well shine a harsh light on a false friend, but this will only compel you to up the quality of the company you keep.
5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
If you’ve been looking for a sign concerning the next big step you should take in your life, keep an especially keen eye about you over the next week, for the universe is sending up signs aplenty. Don’t be too quick to dismiss an unexpected opportunity or new acquaintance, as the key to your success may be more understated than your regal leonine self is used to. Remember, miracles don’t often appear as such, especially when trickster Mercury is at work!
6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
With your polar (or opposite) sign Pisces rendezvousing with Mercury on the 29th, the latter meeting the Nodes of Destiny only four days prior, emotions will be intense but not hardly punishing. In recent years you have had to redefine what family means to you, as well as what you owe and, conversely, have the right to demand of others. While Virgo often accuses Pisces of being too wishy-washy when it comes to facing reality, the truth is you could learn a lot from the fish’s fluidity and willingness to transcend their limitations.
7. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
You’ve been busier than ever since last year, though few would know about it, Libra. For all your charm and social panache, you’re a pro at dipping out when the noise is loudest and retreating into your own private atelier. You’ve been working hard to revamp your image and set new projects in motion, and by the 29th you might just find you’ve garnered an entirely new and unexpected fanbase.
8. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
You’ve never been shy about taking on new and admittedly scary endeavors, and aren’t about to chicken out now. Don’t ignore the messages being transmitted from fellow water sign Pisces, however. As much as you may want to seize an opportunity before it gets away (or worse, handed to another), the fish is quietly encouraging you to bide your time and evaluate all possible outcomes. With your personal relationships in something of a tailspin these days, Scorpio, you can’t afford to make new enemies.
9. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Just as Mercury forces us to rethink how we communicate and move with the times, its arrival in ethereal Pisces on the 29th will add yet another layer of complexity (or confusion, as far as you’re concerned). It’s not that you don’t know what you want to do or be, but rather that both those things have changed significantly since last year, leaving you to wonder if you’re on the right path after all. Keep moving forward, Sag, and let the spiritual fish remind you that your intuition is your most powerful weapon.
10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
It’s hard to maintain your trademark work ethic with so many toxic distractions, huh Cap? If you feel as though you’ve been beset with gossip, arguments, and petty side-picking of late, it’s only because you’re such an unassuming, mind-your-own-business presence people often think they can practice their nonsense around. Don’t open yourself up to other people’s drama right now and definitely don’t engage, as you may find the consequences detrimental to your personal progress.
11. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
You’ve definitely been a bit of a dark horse since last year, Aquarius, discreetly eschewing the spotlight and focusing on deeply personal matters. This new “you” may be puzzling for some, but those who truly know and understand you won’t bat an eye. Your highly individualistic sign is always undergoing one transformation or another, though you prefer to time each reemergence carefully. The blast of confidence you’ll get from Mercury’s conjunction with Pisces will make next week the perfect time to step up and into your newfound persona.
12. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
When Mercury meets eye-to-eye with your sign on the 29th you’ll be anything but unprepared. Like your airy neighbors Libra and Aquarius, you’ve stepped back from the limelight in recent months to focus on something that feels much more important and, even more importantly, long-lasting. And like your fellow water sign Cancer, you’re finished with false friends. Don’t be afraid to step into this new and empowered identity, Pisces, as you’ve more than earned it.
