Mercury retrograde in Pisces

Mercury the planet of communication goes retrograde on 17 February 2020 for 3 weeks.  Whenever a planet goes retrograde it does the reverse effects of what it does when it is going direct.  Mercury goes retrograde three times a year.  By rule, this is not a good time to sign any important documents, make any important decisions and start anything brand new.  There are definitely exceptions to the rule depending on the circumstance. As Mercury is the planet that helps us communicate our thoughts and deliver our communication whether in person or using technology, when it is retrograde it makes us internalize our thoughts and makes us very introspective over this period.  Mercury takes you back over old thought patterns that you may have glossed over and now have to take a deeper look into things (possibly need to address an issue you never got around to).  It also will make communication more confusing as there will be misunderstandings as we are not as clear with our communication. Around Mercury retrogrades, you can expect to be delayed when trying to get somewhere fast, miss appointments by getting the days/times mixed up, and technical break downs with technology and cars.   To know where Mercury is dragging you back to ponder over more, look to the house in your Natal chart ruled by Pisces.  For the collective, this energy is making us look at the deeper meaning of our existence and our connection to source.  People will want to be alone a lot more and there will be some interesting messages that will come through if you take the time to meditate. You will find listening to music, writing poems or doing art very therapeutic during these times.  It is a great time to go to some sort of therapy. It is not the best time to make any hard decisions as Pisces energy can be very deceiving and you may not be seeing things as they truly are.  It is vital to take extra care of yourself over these next few weeks as it can be highly overwhelming and triggering for some.
