What Mercury Direct in Pisces Means for Your Zodiac Sign – ryan

Mercury is finally direct, and it’s about time we shake off the haze!

After weeks of the Mercury retrograde mayhem — miscommunications, misunderstandings and technical glitches — the messenger planet stations direct on April 7.

As Mercury begins to move forward, it helps clear the fog that’s been clouding our judgment and distorting our thoughts. Still, in addition to bringing clarity, Mercury in Pisces heightens our intuition and encourages us to listen closely to our inner voice.

It’s important to note that logical and fact-checking Mercury doesn’t necessarily care to be in Pisces, as our left (analytical) brains take a back seat to the dreamy, creative and mystical side of life.

The essence of this Water sign is innately intuitive, fluid and emotionally driven, rather than relying solely on facts and hard data.

In Pisces, Mercury can make communication feel more abstract, where words and symbols hold deeper meanings. Messages may be more poetic or indirect, and our understanding stems from our feelings, dreams and visions, rather than clear-cut reasoning.

It doesn’t hurt to look back at Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow phase that began on March 1, when the messenger planet was transiting over 26 degrees of Pisces. Conversations, contracts and other mercurial themes highlighted during this time could be coming back around for a second look, so keep your eyes peeled.

Don’t be surprised if your insights come through unconventional means — like a sudden dream, a deep gut feeling or even a meaningful synchronicity that guides you toward a new direction.

In the meantime, read on for what Mercury direct in Pisces means for your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

You’re finally getting a good night’s rest after days of tossing and turning, Aries! With Mercury stationing direct in your 12th house of secrets, healing and unconscious patterns, you’re ready to surrender the doubts of confusion and clear your head. You may find clarity on an inner conflict or unresolved issue. Maybe an old friend pops up to help you sort through some lingering emotions, but you’ll start feeling more spiritually attuned either way.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

Who’s that text from, Taurus? With Mercury officially moving in direct motion — through your 11th house of associations, community affairs and individual freedom — you’re likely thinking about your friendships, community affairs and future goals. If you’ve felt disconnected, things will finally start falling back into place. Expect an old friend to reconnect, or you’ll realize where you truly belong in your circle. You may even hear from a friend who shares an exciting career opportunity.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)

This is equivalent to getting a pair of new glasses — you can finally see things clearly, Gemini. With your celestial ruler, Mercury, back to basics, especially in your 10th house of boss moves and public persona, everything from the trajectory of your career to your sense of authority takes center stage. Never say never — expect the unexpected in your professional life!

Cancer (June 20-July 22)

A conversation with a mentor could give you the perspective you’ve been missing, Cancer. As Mercury stations direct in Pisces — activating your expansive ninth house of travel, adventure and higher education — everything from the bigger picture to your long-distance connections begins to make sense. Maybe you’re finally able to make travel plans you’ve been putting off, or you’ll start researching that course you’ve been eyeing.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)

Conversations around joint ventures and shared assets are coming up for discussion, but you know what to do now, Leo. As Mercury goes direct in Pisces, your eighth house of mutual investments is activated, bringing a wave of much-needed clarity to financial and emotional matters. Maybe that confusing tax document starts to make sense, or you finally grasp the full details of a shared endeavor. In relationships, expect clearer communication, particularly around mutual responsibilities.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

If you’ve been wanting to take a relationship to the next level, now is the time, Virgo! On top of the fact that having your planetary ruler retrograde isn’t ideal, Mercury direct in your seventh house of commitments, compromise and significant others brings energy and momentum back to your relationships and contractual agreements. Expect new understanding between you and a significant other, or even a long-awaited apology.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

It’s a great time for planning and organizing, especially when it comes to your daily habits, Libra. As Mercury stations direct in Pisces, activating your sixth house of daily duties, acts of service and your well-being, expect clarity in work routines and health matters. That issue with a coworker might finally be resolved, but if you’ve procrastinated on a health decision, you’ll now find the energy to take action.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

You’re getting your muse back, Scorpio! With Mercury stationing direct in Pisces — igniting your expressive fifth house of love, creativity and passion — everything from your hobbies to your romantic longings is getting back on track. For instance, if you’ve been struggling with a creative block, the ideas will start flowing again. Whether it’s starting a new hobby or simply enjoying time with loved ones, you’re reconnecting with your natural rhythm. Your love life can also benefit from clearer communication.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

Consider this a much-needed reset for your personal life, Sagittarius. As Mercury stations direct in your domestic fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations, personal matters or home projects begin to fall into place.  If you’ve been avoiding a tough conversation with a relative, now is the time to have it. Maybe you finally unpack that box you’ve been meaning to get to, or you decide to make your home feel more aligned with your energy. Honor your sacred space.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

You’re finally able to express yourself clearly and get a significant message across, Capricorn. Mercury’s officially moving in direct motion, activating your curious third house of communication and immediate surroundings. Maybe you receive a message from someone who’s been distant or a creative project you’ve been working on with a colleague finally begins to flow. Either way, use your words wisely because everyone’s listening.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

It’s a good time to get serious about your future endeavors, Aquarius. With Mercury moving forward in Pisces, igniting your stability-seeking second house of comfort, finances and values, you’re gaining clarity around money, charms and possessions. You may get a financial breakthrough or resolve a long-standing budgeting issue. A review of your finances could bring you more confidence in your spending and saving strategies.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

Submit that application, send that e-mail or at the very least, make it a point to clear the air, Pisces. With Mercury back in your sign, and officially moving in direct motion, you’re finally feeling like your true self again. The past few weeks could’ve felt hazy or confusing, but you’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Expect momentum and communication around your personal goals — maybe you finally clear up a misunderstanding with a significant other.
