Mercury in Pisces, in a bathtub and in a nutshell. x

 In a chart, the most important things are the planets.



We can imagine them characters.


The signs could be symbolised by the kind of clothing they are wearing, as a way to express their current mindset. 


If you have Mercury in Pisces, you can imagine a messenger: a postman, an interpreter, a translator, a journalist etc.  wearing a wet suit.



You can easily understand that talking will be a little bit more difficult with a scuba in the mouth. The messages-thoughts-information Mercury wants to convey will have to find their way through Water. Sensitivity, emotions, empathy, desire for closeness are a challenge to clarity at times! 


“No I’m not nasty, I’m just telling you things as they are!” would Mercury in Aries say. Mercury in Pisces doesn’t want to hurt feelings, and may choose not to say, and at times not to hear too well either. It may write songs about all that jazz, or dream and be at a loss to interpret what the message is about. 


Mercury in Pisces may also become very talented at handling precisely the kind of problems it suggests. That’s a general rule for all difficult placements: we may or may not have learned the lessons. When we read charts, we shouldn’t tell older people that they have the problems they had when they were young. Asking them to share their wisdom would be more on point. 

 

Mercury is not the author of the messages it carries. Mercury talks to you on behalf of other planets. If the Sun is in Aquarius and wants to talk about ideas, Mercury in Pisces is likely to struggle because of emotions and feelings… Or to wrap them up in a deeply empathetic style. The feelings then will help convey the ideas. 


Conversely, if you have the Sun in Pisces, the messages will more often be of a feeling nature. If Mercury is in Aquarius, and has been entrusted with the task of telling you that their Lord the Sun loves you, it may find a surprisingly unique way to get the message across.

If you have never looked at a chart before

Hello there! I'm really happy to explain, I love explaining things! If you are a beginner in the study of astrology, I am writing for you.  I expect you to know the symbols of the signs and planets, if you don't, you can find them here https://www.astro.com/astrology/in_kdhoros_e.htm On this same website, you can get your own birthchart done for free. You need your date and precise time of birth (more or less five or ten minutes, exact if possible) and your place of birth. Go here https://www.astro.com/cgi/ And now, let me explain. A birth chart is like a big clock with two dials and ten hands. The first dial is made up of the twelve signs. Inside the circle formed of the twelve signs, you can see the symbols of the planets. For instance, in my own chart, the Sun (The circle with a very small circle at its center) is placed in Scorpio (The kind of M ending up with an arrow) The small numbers near the planets indicate the exact degree of the sign where they sit. My Sun is at 1...

The karmic indicators in the birth chart

1 South Node and North Node. The Moon Nodes are always exactly opposite in the chart. The South Node (also called Ketu) represents the energy coming from our past lives, or from our family/ancestry/genetic inheritance..  It is an energy we are familiar with and needs to be balanced by the opposite energy of the North Node. The North Node (also called Rahu) represents where we are called, where we will gain the greatest satisfaction...provided we dare taking up the challenge and step out of the South Node comfort zone. The Nodes are placed in opposite signs and houses as well. The meaning of the Nodes in houses is equivalent the the placement in the analog signs, for instance: my South Node is in Aquarius and in the 8th house. My North Node is therefore in Leo and the second house. My karmic path in sign is from Aquarius to Leo, and in house from the 8th to the 2nd, which is equivalent to a Scorpio to Taurus path. (As Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac and Taurus the se...

The wounded healer

Image
Chiron, in mythology, is the wounded healer. Mythology pushes things to the extreme, so the fact that the wound can't be cured in the myth should not scare us. Myths are stories. When we are wounded, especially psychologically, we learn a lot; pain is has always been a  great motivation to try to understand what's going on.  The more we try to understand the more we know, and before we are able to sort out our own problems, we become able to understand and help those who have  similar problems, but not as deeply as ourselves...  This Buddha feels like Chiron don't you think? The psychotherapist or healer may have great difficulties in their personal life. If they have a healthy attitude, they won't hold others responsible, they won't play victim or use all kinds of unhealthy coping mechanism which would make them toxic...  That's a risk on the healing path. Hopefully, like Chiron in the myth, healers will expand their knowledge and awareness, but unlike Chir...
