The infamous, regularly scheduled Mercury retrograde officially started its apparent reversal in Pisces last week, but this week, hijinks are mirrored in the skies. This week is off to a quiet start, but by Wednesday, planetary activity picks up the slack, inspiring us to forgive and be generous, true to the spirit of Pisces season. Some changes to our itinerary come closer to the weekend—however, our judgement is distorted. Not only is there a psychedelic Mercury retrograde in Pisces, but we can also be misled by the unbridled optimism of Pisces’ ruler, Jupiter, which is at home in ambitious Sagittarius.

On Wednesday, March 13, the sun connects with power planet Pluto at 10:25 AM before squaring off with generous Jupiter at 9:29 PM. On or around Wednesday morning, there is an ability to tap into a deep well of willpower, a great resource. Near Wednesday evening, as the sun squares off with Jupiter, we are generous and make changes that allow for space to heal. On Thursday, action planet Mars harmonizes with taskmaster Saturn at 6:01 AM, providing the end of the week with strength that allows us to tackle long-term projects. Also on Thursday, retrograde messenger Mercury meets the sun at 9:48 PM, illuminating deep, possibly repressed memories and helping us realize abstract concepts as they become visible and actualized under the light of the sun.

Retrograde Mercury squares off with expansive Jupiter at 7:17 PM on Friday, pushing us to take action at a fork in the road. Make sure you have all of the facts so you don’t take a wrong turn. Things won’t be entirely clear because of Mercury retrograde, but think back to what happened on February 22—the last time Mercury clashed with Jupiter—to help inform your next step.

On Saturday, retrograde Mercury gently connects with power planet Pluto at 9:11 AM, creating a productive atmosphere for getting to the bottom of your feelings. A deep dive into your subconscious and a fearless perusal into the dark corners of research-driven processes is favored. It’s an ideal time to meet up with a study group. Retrograde Mercury connects with action planet Mars at 11:23 PM on Sunday, opening the channels for petty debate. With Mars in Taurus, fights can be passive aggressive. If you find yourself in the middle of an argument, make it a point to be the bigger person.
