Mercury Ingresses into Pisces & III of Wands
Daily Horoscope Check-In for Friday, February 23, 2024
Good morning, friends!
Eight days ago we pulled the 8 of Wands as the card for the day. It is possible that when we pulled that card it meant we would receive some news in 8 days, so I just wanted to remind everyone of that in case you do get an important message today!
This weekend is the Full Moon in Virgo, you can read about that transit in the Weekly Forecast here. Venus will also be making a square to Jupiter that same day, which I discuss further along in this post. If you are participating in the Lunar Poetry Ritual, our word poems are due on Saturday. I will be posting mine on Saturday. You can join in by posting yours in the comments of that post or by replying to the newsletter.
I wish everyone a happy Full Moon weekend!
Okay, let’s get into…the astrology…
Earlier today, Mercury ingressed into Pisces at 2:28 am ET. Mercury in Pisces in Mundane astrology is not a favorable place, but if you have Mercury in Pisces natally, I just want to remind you that it doesn’t mean you’re doomed or anything!
Mercury is about our mental capabilities, how we think, what we think, and why we think it. Mercury describes how we communicate those thoughts and some of the typical Mercurial ways of communication are speech, song, or conversations, as well as anything to do with writing and reading. Mercury also has to do with artistic expression as well through music, theatre, or art. Mercury rules the hands. So, Mercury in Pisces is a very artistic, dreamy, and spiritual placement where the way one speaks may be very poetic, compassionate, and wistful.
There is a way in which you can tell a Mercury in Pisces native right away by the words they use, the way they form their sentences, and the very meandering nature of their conversations; how they flow easily from one thought to the next, sometimes without verbalizing how they wandered there! It’s like they expect the listener to have an intuitive sense to just “know” what they are talking about at all times!
Now that Mercury is in Pisces, he is very close to the Sun and is only days away from his cazimi, when he will be at the heart of the Sun and “On the lap of the king!”
By tonight, the Moon will leave Leo and ingress into Virgo at 8:37 pm and then by 11:51 pm ET, perfect an opposition to Mercury in Pisces.
So, today is really all about Mercury and the Moon and the build-up to the Full Moon on Saturday.
Let’s take a look at the chart of Mercury and the Moon’s opposition:
