How Mercury Retrograde in Pisces Will Impact Your Zodiac Sign

Get ready! Mercury retrograde in Pisces is about to take you on a rollercoaster, which will likely result in tackling some unfinished business.

As of March 15, Mercury retrograde in Aries has been pushing us to reconsider the moves we’ve made regarding communication, technology and decision-making.

This Fire sign often sparks impulsivity, bringing passion to the forefront, but with Mercury retrograde, those quick decisions and fiery words can come back to haunt us.

Once the messenger planet retrogrades back into Pisces on March 29, it’s time to slow down and reflect on the deeper emotional layers of our communication style and thought process.

Mercury in Pisces is a completely different vibe — one that pulls us away from the hard facts and into the realms of intuition, imagination and spirituality.

In Pisces, the messenger planet operates through the heart, asking us to tap into the emotional truths we’ve been avoiding or repressing. 

It’s a time when words may feel more fluid, and logic takes a backseat to creativity and intuition. It’s dreamy, mystical and can sometimes feel a bit foggy — a perfect setting for revisiting unresolved matters from the past.

Now, as Mercury retrogrades back into this elusive Water sign, we’re revisiting things that were left unsaid or unfinished.

Whether it’s an old friend reaching out, a forgotten project reappearing or an unresolved matter calling for closure, Mercury retrograde in Pisces asks us to take a deeper look, confront unfinished business and perhaps let go of any illusions we’ve been holding onto.

Read on for what this means for your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Horoscope Sign Aries.

It’s time for an emotional cleanup, Aries. With Mercury retrograding back into Pisces and your 12th house of unfinished business (literally), you could revisit hidden thoughts or emotional baggage from the past. You may also confront past dreams or memories that have been long buried. For instance, you could suddenly reconnect with an old friend to have a deep conversation that brings clarity and closure.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

Horoscope Sign Taurus.

Are these individuals in alignment with your current goals and dreams, Taurus? Your social life and friendship groups are getting a major overhaul. Mercury retrograde (along with your celestial ruler, Venus) in Pisces could bring an old friend or group back into your life. For instance, an unexpected group chat could reignite a forgotten connection, causing you to re-evaluate what you truly desire from your friendships or want to pursue in the long term.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)

Horoscope Sign Gemini.

Be a leader, Gemini. Your celestial ruler, Mercury, is retrograde and slipping back into Pisces — your 10th house of authority, career and public persona — urging you to take a second look at your professional goals and dreams. Whether it’s a mentor, an authority figure or an opportunity from the past, chances are it will resurface during this time, inspiring you on the trajectory of your career.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)

Horoscope Sign Cancer.

Your plans for the future are under review, Cancer. With Mercury retrograde slipping back into your water-y territory — your ninth house of expansion and self-discovery — spiritual and philosophical matters you have overlooked once upon a time will likely resurface. Whether that’s a trip you’ve contemplated for years now or going to graduate school, something that once piqued your interest is coming back around. 

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)

Horoscope Sign Leo.

Your boundaries are a priority at this time, Leo. After all, it’s not every day Mercury and Venus simultaneously retrograde through Pisces and your eighth house of intimate affairs, shared resources and joint ventures. Everything from emotional reciprocity to shared finances is to be reconsidered under this retrograde, as it is a time to heal and reassess. A past partner could also return suddenly, forcing you to re-evaluate your emotional attachments and what you truly need in a relationship moving forward.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

Horoscope Sign Virgo.

It’s time to clear the air and release any lingering tension, Virgo. With your celestial ruler, Mercury, retrograde in Pisces — your seventh house of agreements, compromise and significant others — relationships and partnerships are getting a second look. Whether for business or pleasure, Mercury retrograde could bring up unresolved issues in your close relationships. You could suddenly find yourself in an intense conversation with a friend or partner about misunderstandings that lack closure.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)

Horoscope Sign Libra.

Your day-to-day life and work habits are on the retrograde menu, Libra. With both your celestial ruler (Venus) and Mercury retrograde in Pisces — your sixth house of health, daily duties and acts of service — expect to review the small things in life and how they affect your overall well-being. For instance, a forgotten health issue may resurface or you may revisit a routine that you left behind, only to realize it’s time for a change.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

Horoscope Sign Scorpio.

Your passion projects and romantic rendezvous are under the microscope, Scorpio. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces activating your creative fifth house of love, children and self-expression, you’re encouraged to revisit everything from unfinished projects to romantic connections that lack closure or never quite reached their potential. Who knows — you may hear from an ex, which sparks reflection on how much you’ve grown.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

Horoscope Sign Sagittarius.

Be honest with yourself and feel your feelings, Sagittarius. Mercury rules your relationship and career sector, and it’s retrograding back into Pisces, and your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. In addition to putting a spotlight on your personal life, you’re called to confront lingering issues and unresolved emotional matters. A family situation you thought was long buried may resurface, leading you to revisit a long-forgotten conversation with a relative that helps you heal and move forward. 

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)

Horoscope Sign Capricorn.

Clear the air as much as possible, Capricorn. The influence of both Venus and Mercury retrograde in Pisces brings emphasis to your curious third house of communication, thought processes and immediate surroundings. You may need to revisit a conversation with a close relative or perhaps make amends with people you’ve fallen out of touch with. A misunderstanding with a sibling or neighbor could come back into play, offering a chance to rekindle and rebuild bridges.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

Horoscope Sign Aquarius.

Your money, stability and sense of self-worth are coming up for review, Aquarius. Mercury retrograde is slipping back into Pisces, activating your second house of security, values and money-making abilities, urging you to look back at past decisions that have shaped your material world and sense of security. You may find yourself reconsidering a financial investment you made or revisiting an old career goal you want to approach from a new perspective.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 20)

Horoscope Sign Pisces.

Time for a re-do, Pisces! As Mercury retrogrades back into your sign, everything from your communication style to your mindset is under a magnifying glass. For instance, while spring cleaning, you could unexpectedly reconnect with an old version of yourself that’s been long gone, while others take a deep dive into who you are and how you want to express yourself moving forward. It’s a time to reflect, re-evaluate and reassess, and while in your sign, it’s all the more reason to make it personal.
