Visions and vague conversations will distract rather than inform us for 2 months while Mercury wanders in the sign of dreams. How to cope with Mercury at its worst in Pisces? Here’s some tips for before, during and after this transit.
Mercury, also called Hermes by the Greeks, was the messenger of the Gods. The Archetype of Mercury influences the areas of our lives that not only deliver messages, it affects so much more! How we think, plan and shop is also Mercury. How we move between any two places or ideas or people is so much a part of Mercury that it is considered a hermaphrodite. Mercury is both male and female incorporating parts of both so it can blend the two ends of the road it travels.
Because Mercury moves the quickest of all the planets, three or four times a year it appears to go backward. Remember the story of the Tortoise and the Hare? The Tortoise moves slow and steady while the Hare moves quickly but with lots of stops. The Earth is the Tortoise taking 365 days to go around the Sun. Mercury, the Hare, takes only 88 days. When Mercury speeds past the Earth and rounds a turn of the orbit, it appears to be going backwards.
