Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: a Cycle of Soul Alignment

11 February - 9 April


This retrograde Mercury travels with the North Node, Venus, Pallas Athena, Mars and Medusa in Pisces and the mind descends into an ocean of collective memory.


This is the bridge between timelines.

The pre-shadow opened on 11 February at 8° Pisces, already asking:


Which strategies has the Year of the Wood Snake revealed for you?


Plans in embodied wisdom, the movements, boundaries, devotions and courageous choices you have had to make.


The retrograde (26 Feb – 20 March) is the integration phase, the rawness after the shedding in snake medicine. This cycle merges personal trajectory with the evolutionary path of humanity.


There is no way back into the past after the 0’ Point Activation of Saturn & Neptune.

This is why this retrograde asks:

✨ Which personal strategies have emerged through you this past year that are ready for action?

✨ Where do you choose resonance over reaction?

✨ Where do you hold your field instead of overgiving?

✨ Where do you act from inner timing rather than external pressure?


💫 Because when Mercury opposes Orcus in Virgo, the question becomes: are your daily choices aligned with your soul promise?


Mercury’s Timeline


11 February Mercury enters shadow at 8° Pisces, Pallas Athena conjunct Gonggong at 5° Pisces, Venus enters Pisces: the stage is set for waves of change, we are just awaiting the right timing


12 February Mercury conjunct North Node at 9° Pisces, a gentle nudge to surrender to the unknown future


17 February Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse - Year of the Fire Horse & Venus conjunct North Node in Pisces sextile Ixion in Capricorn: a real need to break free


26 February Mercury stations retrograde: return to your inner signal


28 February Mercury Rx conjunct Venus and enquires about values, love, resources and self-worth in the new times


7 March Mercury Rx conjunct the Sun, Cazimi opposite Orcus in Virgo: feel deeply into your soul’s promise, because it is the real reason your are here


10 March Mercury Rx conjunct Pallas Athena for repatterining, restructuring and recreating of boundaries and habits


15 March Mercury Rx conjunct Mars: act from your inner knowing and from no where else


18 - 23 March Mercury conjunct North Node: In retrograde until 20 March and direct until 23 March: only through deep surrender into the void, will you remember your part in the whole of humanity


20 March Mercury stations direct: pause, before you think, act or move (wait until the 28th)


26 - 27 March Mercury conjunct Medusa: sense into the ripples of change, use your instinct, be guided by your intuition


28 - 30 March Mars conjunct Pallas Athena: now is the time to go! You have all the information you need from the retrograde, strategise your moves and take action


4 April Mercury opposite Orcus in Virgo: your final alignment with your soul promise: feel if you are in full alignment


9 April Mercury comes out of post-shadow: Integration complete, your the timeline stabilises


The deeper meaning of this Mercury Rx Cycle: the Year of the Wood Snake prepared your nervous system for change and now the Year of the Fire Horse is moving you forward.


The retrograde is the bridge between the two, you may still be shedding a little, a cycle is not linear and gently flows into the next…


You are not being asked to decide your future, you are being asked to move towards the future that is already there for you, you just can’t see it yet, because you are standing on the cutting edge, on the event horizon 🌌
