Mercury in Pisces

Anyone else have Mercury in Pisces? I've read over and over that this is the a detrimental combination... Considering my Sun is in Pisces, does this mean that my weak communication skills are more so?

"Mercury and Jupiter are complimentary planets. Mercury governs the ?lower? mind, while Jupiter governs the ?higher? mind. Mercury looks at the details, and by analyzing and exploring the little things, eventually comes to understand the bigger picture. Jupiter looks at the big picture and eventually learns how the larger themes show up in the smaller details.

Mercury in Pisces is perhaps the least happy combination for any planet. In Pisces, Mercury worries that it is powerless, because the usual strategies it follows to understand and communicate with and about the world don't seem to work. Mercury needs words to define the world. Words differentiate and discriminate, and in Pisces, words lose much of their meaning. Mercury in Pisces must learn how to describe and define a completely different and unfamiliar experience of reality.

Not only is Mercury in Pisces in Detriment, but Mercury in Pisces is also in Fall. Not only is Mercury worrying because of the mental/emotional focus of planets in Detriment, but Mercury is also confronting challenges in the physical world, because it's in Fall.."

While this does seem accurate in a lot of ways, I have a hard time trying to comprehend what this means and how it applies this to my life. In general, I feel that I understand the 'big picture' and neglect details more often than not. Does anyone have any thoughts or insight?

Thanks, Andrew.

I have one.

Taken from Cafeastrology:

Mercury in Pisces are gentle communicators with a soft touch that is pleasing and warm. Some of them come across in an almost poetic way. Not given to bother too much with details, these individuals tend to sponge up the feelings and moods of their environment. The information they extract from their surroundings can be unusual and certainly unique. For some, it is heavily skewed in the direction of emotion and feeling.

They're generally lovely listeners and, when you get them talking, warm conversationalists. When it comes to communicating, they're moody, and this extends to their letters and emails too. It's a kind of odd thing -- you never know when they'll be in a quiet mood or a yakking state. These individuals don't compete for air time, but they can talk up a storm when they're in the right frame of mind. Predicting when that will be can be difficult, though. Mercury in Pisces is tactful because they don't want to offend others in any way. They feel out their audience and sometimes search for what they think others want to hear. Yes, Mercury in Pisces can fib. It's not that they are malicious--they simply want others to be comfortable.

These people come across as dreamy and indirect. It can be hard to pin them down to any one belief or decision. It's not that they want to drive you crazy or anything--it's just that Mercury in Pisces takes in so much information from the world and their open-mindedness prevents them from taking a stance for too long. They have an unusual aversion to cold facts and hard decisions. Driven more by intuition than facts, these people avoid list-making and the like. Others might think them disorganized but they have an uncanny knack of finding things nonetheless. There is a tendency to avoid detail work or tying up loose ends, not to mention the mind drifting off to Never-Never Land.

Mercury in Pisces is tuned in to all the nuances of subjects and environments. They pick up on subtleties of all kinds, so what they lack in organization they make up for with insight. When the Sun Sign is Aries, much of the brashness and directness of Aries is considerably toned down with Mercury in Pisces. Aquarius Sun people with this position are artistic and humane.

Mercury in Pisces people are often vague and indirect in their communications with others. If they learn to express themselves with more clarity, they'll find that a lot of the problems they can encounter with misunderstandings will le

lessen. Their impressionable nature can make them an easy target at times. Their plans may seem too dreamy and unrealistic to more practical sorts, lacking the details that make them seem more attainable. But Mercury in Pisces' vision is extraordinary, and their leaps of faith are admirable.

Doesn't sound too bad.

I think actually as a sun sign pisces this placement makes you more prone to having psychic abilities. From what I hear anyway.

M has it. She's psychic. Ask her where you'll be in 5 yrs, and she can tell you. It also makes her a hopeless romantic, in combination w/ the Cancer moon. 🙂

😕

hopeless what?? I am psychic though 🙂

I can be very blunt and tactless. I am a good listener. I have my moments of talkativeness, but for the most part im quiet. I do have little patience for detail (as you can see in my writing style )...its another reason why I decided never to be a writer. I like to get to the point no fluff.

""I can be very blunt and tactless.""


no kidding.

*gasp*

Is it that bad? Im not this way in RL until you REALLY get to know me...or piss me off (both very difficult, ftmp).

lol ^ joking, M. it's not that serious. 😛

Ragamuffin ! 😛

Thanks for the replies.

"Driven more by intuition than facts, these people avoid list-making and the like." VERY true.

I will have to working on expressing myself with clarity. I'm not sure if I'll ever be capable of paying attention to detail.

>>rising in Cancer. I think it tones me down a notch.



M where will I be in 5 years? lol
