Mercury will finally move out of Pisces next Tuesday night (6th), it has been on the sign since February 27th, tallying up about 68 days. As I’ve said on my May predictions, predicting something and living it are two entirely different things. This Mercury is another example of this.

I knew we were having a long stay of Mercury in Pisces, and I know that this is not the best sign placement for Mercury, so I knew that problems were possible with this transit. But actually living it, with delays, technical issues and problems along the way is a whole different experience.

Unrelated, but I love this image

Looking back, the last time a long Mercury in Pisces transit happened was in 2018, from March 2nd to May 9th, also about 68 days. I similarly remember many delays and issues in the early portion of that year. Again, the cycles of astrology and how we can use them for planning.

I avoided scheduling anything too technical or complicated for this early part of 2024, and I’m glad I did that. The few things that popped up were either essential or unavoidable.

Still, I’m glad to inform that things will become easier moving forward. Mercury in Aries and the signs beyond are way better for technical and detailed work, so we will see some improvements in this regard.

I’m also glad to inform that 2026 will have no such long Pisces venture. Mercury in Pisces will be a normal, fairly short, transit in 2026. From April 10th to April 29th 2026, about 19 days.
