Mercury in Pisces (General) 

Mercury is said to be in detriment in Pisces. A planet is in detriment when a planet is in the sign opposite of it's rulership. Mercury rules Virgo (and Gemini) and Pisces is six signs away (or opposite) Virgo. Detriment is a term that describes the condition of a planet in a sign. When a planet is in detriment it means that a planet is cut off from it's resources and will have to adapt in order to reach it's full potential. The keyword for detriment is diminished

Mercury is the planet of the mind. It is all about logic, our thinking, and communication. Pisces, being a water-sign, is emotionally based, dreamy, and intuitive.  So when Mercury is in Pisces, our thoughts are at odds with our emotions. You may feel caught up in your feelings. Communication proves to be more difficult. You can be more sensitive at this time and and find yourself being ruled by your emotions. You may also find yourself in danger of emotional outburst in which you blurt our your feelings without stopping to consider what you are saying. 

The upside to Mercury in Pisces is that you can use this energy to get in touch your with your feelings and emotions. Your imagination is enhanced and you can be more creative and artsy at this time. This is also a good time to practice and refine your intuitive faculties. If you are interested in any metaphysical subjects such as Astrology and Tarot, this is a good time to start learning. 

How Mercury in Pisces Affect You 

A planet, such as Mercury, describes a specific type of energy. In the case of Mercury it is the energy of thought or thinking. The sign that it occupies indicates how that energy manifests. Mercury, the energy of thought, in Pisces will manifest as vague, romantic, and intuitive. Finally the house that the planet transits will determine where this energy will manifest in your life. 

In order to determine the house that Mercury in Pisces is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Pisces. For example. 

  • If your rising sign is Aries, Pisces is your 12th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Taurus, Pisces is your 11th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Gemini, Pisces is your 10th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Cancer, Pisces is your 9th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Leo, Pisces is your 8th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Virgo, Pisces is your 7th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Libra, Pisces is your 6th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Scorpio, Pisces is your 5th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Pisces is your 4th House. 
  • If your rising sign is Capricorn, Pisces is your 3rd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Aquarius, Pisces is your 2nd House. 
  • If your rising sign is Pisces, Pisces is your 1st House. 

Example 

Transit Mercury in Pisces and the Fifth House 


Mercury (I Think) in Pisces (I Believe) and the 5th house of love, children, and creativity manifests as vague, romantic thoughts regarding love and romance. The mind can become clouded by feelings of love and romance with this placement making the native susceptible to deception by others, especially those that he or she cares about. You are more sensitive and have trouble defining not only your feelings but the feelings and emotions of those around you. 

Nonetheless, the fifth house rules creativity (including our hobbies) and with Mercury transiting the fifth house you can more easily attune yourself to your own sense of creativity. Your hobbies bring your more satisfaction, you (re)discover yourself as an artist and visionary. You are more social and want to have more fun. The fifth house also rules over children -- if you are a parent conversations with your children can be deeper and more loving.  In terms of love, Mercury transiting the fifth house can portend meeting a romantic interest through the internet (mercury rules communication) and that he or she could either be younger than you (in age) or simply young at heart.

Where is Pisces in your chart and how will Mercury in Pisces manifest for you?
