As of today, Friday, March 14th, Pisces enters Mercury at 6:46pm EDT until April 2nd.    Mercury now joins the Sun, Venus and Uranus in Pisces.  Including Mars (in Cancer), we now have all of the inner planets in water signs.

Mercury entering Pisces this evening will be quite an energy shift after having spent so much time in the Air sign of Aquarius.  Also, any lingering affects of the previous Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius, should now be behind us.  I know many people that were still saying, "is Mercury still retrograde?", well after it hit direct motion.  I felt the same.  The energy of this planet going retrograde does seem to be lingering longer recently.

Anyone with strong placements in the sign of Pisces should use all of this energy to their advantage, as the cosmos is supporting you strongly.  So make a point of moving forward your projects and goals now.  See below for the dates that these planets start exiting Pisces.

In general, people will be speaking with a more gentle and pleasing tone than in weeks past.  However, it is important to be careful of misunderstandings with this placement, as Pisces is Neptune ruled.  Neptune is the planet of confusion and illusion, amongst other things.  Just ask for clarity if you suspect some misunderstandings, as you're likely right.  The way that Pisces tests us is through misdirection.  However, if you keep things clear, Pisces also can deliver greater understanding, higher consciousness, and artistry.  THAT is the beauty of Pisces energy.

On another note, we have Mars in Cancer Sextiling Saturn in Virgo today and it's exact at 5:24pm EDT.  So we've been in this energy for a couple of days now but it is at it's height today.

Mars Sextiling Saturn is a very grounding energy and is good for hard work and attention to detail.  It would behoove you to finish up any lingering projects, as much can be accomplished today with more ease than on other occasions.  However, because it's a sextile, this energy does not just happen, it must be worked with.  But now you know....
