Subtitle: If you’ve felt “off” since Wednesday, read this before you hit send.
Stop. Put the phone down. Take a deep breath. If you’ve felt like you’ve been swimming through emotional molasses for the last 48 hours, you aren’t losing your mind. You definitely aren’t alone.
Mercury just went Retrograde in the deep, dreamy waters of Pisces. It’s dragging everything from the bottom of the ocean to the surface. We’re talking sudden brain fog, weirdly vivid dreams, and that overwhelming urge to text someone you know you shouldn’t.
This isn’t just a tech glitch: it’s a spiritual test. Before you let your thumbs do something your heart will regret by Monday, you need to know exactly what this cosmic storm is trying to tell you. Here is your survival guide to communication during Mercury Retrograde in Pisces.
You might be used to the standard Mercury Retrograde chaos. Usually, it involves broken printers, missed flights, and typos in work emails. But when Mercury backspins through Pisces, the energy shifts from logistical to emotional.
Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune. It governs illusions, dreams, and hidden feelings. When the planet of communication (Mercury) takes a nap in the sign of confusion (Pisces), logic leaves the building. You aren’t dealing with missed appointments. You are dealing with missed signals and misinterpreted feelings.
Emotional Fog: You might feel things deeply right now, but you likely lack the words to explain them clearly. This is why texting is dangerous territory this month.
This is the biggest trap of the season. Pisces rules the past, karma, and things we haven’t fully let go of yet. During this transit, you might suddenly remember the one good Saturday you had with an ex three years ago. You will conveniently forget why you broke up.
The Reality Check: You aren’t actually missing them. You are missing the feeling of connection. The retrograde is playing a highlight reel of your past relationships, but it is not an instruction manual to rekindle them.
Do This Instead: Write the text in your notes app. Let it sit for 48 hours. If you still want to send it when the moon changes signs, we can talk. But usually, the urge passes once the wave of nostalgia breaks.
Pisces energy has no boundaries. It wants to merge, connect, and spill everything out at once. You might feel a sudden urge to send a 500-word text explaining exactly how you feel about a situation from six months ago.
Please do not do this.
During Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, tone is impossible to read over text. Your heartfelt pouring of emotion will likely be read as an attack or a frantic spiral. The recipient will not see your vulnerability. They will see chaos.
The Risk: Without vocal inflection or facial expressions, your long text is a minefield for misunderstanding. You are looking for validation, but you will likely get silence or confusion in return.
“I guess you’re busy.”
“Funny seeing you online.”
“Ok.”
Pisces can be the king of passive aggression when it feels unheard. If you feel ignored, you might be tempted to send a “bait” text to see if the other person bites. You want them to ask what’s wrong.
This strategy will backfire. Mercury in Pisces makes everyone a little spacey. Your partner or crush isn’t necessarily ignoring you; they are likely just as foggy and tired as you are. Sending a vague, prickly text will only create drama where there was none.
Clear Communication: If you need attention, ask for it directly. “I’m feeling a little lonely and would love to hear your voice” works much better than a passive-aggressive jab.
You don’t have to hide under the covers until Mercury goes direct. You just need to change how you communicate.
This period is essentially a review phase. It is a time to reflect on how you connect with others, not a time to start new fires. Keep your phone in your pocket, trust your intuition, and ride the wave without drowning in it.
Mercury Retrograde periods typically last about three weeks. However, the “shadow period” (where you feel the effects building up and winding down) adds a couple of weeks to either side. Check your current calendar for exact dates.
It isn’t necessarily “bad,” but it is often messy. Because Mercury Retrograde in Pisces confuses our emotions, you might regret the decision later or struggle to express your reasons clearly. If you can, wait until the fog clears to make permanent decisions.
Pisces energy dissolves the barriers between past and present. It is very common to hear from people from your past now. They are feeling the same nostalgia you are. It doesn’t mean they’ve changed; it just means they are remembering.
You can, but proceed with caution. The person you meet now might seem perfect (that’s the Pisces illusion), but you might not be seeing them clearly. Take things slow and keep your eyes open for red flags.
Blue Lace Agate and Aquamarine are excellent for clear communication. Fluorite can also help cut through the mental fog and confusion that Pisces energy brings.
