Oceanic Quantum Greetings, dear Cosmic Friends!
The PISCEAN transition transition continues – via MERCURY.
Quite the elemental mercurial shift this week:
From cool, abstract, systemic AQ, helping us to break free from the mental matrix, while also showing where ideas can get fixed & frozen…
To the oceanic, interconnected, mystical (or chaotic) worlds of PISCES.
Where it’s about going beyond (conditioned) linear, rational thinking.
And, in a ‘watery’, interdimensional, quantum way:
Stepping into being open, intuitive, flexibly-fluid, receiving messages, not letting things stick, and releasing old mind-sets and fixed ideas (which could have still / again come up with MERCURY in AQ).
Images & sounds say more than 1000 words – languages that change our vibration.
When we fully immerse in an experience (as happened to me lately, on my extended journey in Mexico), we can ‘swim’ with it all – without analyzing and judging – and: be open to what life brings.
On Feb 22, MERCURY swims over to PISCES (- March 9)
This year for much shorter than in previous years…
MERCURY is now in its fastest pace – between retro phases – and will unite with the SUN (and SATURN!) on Feb 28 – aka ‘Superior Conjunction’.
A lot can be quickly learned and grasped now, intellectually, but even more so, by sensitively ‘scanning’ / ‘reading’ the energy field.
About the overall ‘weather’ at any given time, and also in hindsight & foresight.
Be open, and follow your hunches.
And let go what’s just a ‘fantasy’ / ‘screen projection’, lol.
In contrast – and in hindsight – remember the super long Piscean mercurial con-fusion / immersion, Feb 3 – Apr 10, 2020, incl. a retro phase – when ‘it all began’?
A time during which unclear / confusing information about the virus was overwhelmingly spread (quite like a mutating virus), affecting us collectively (PI), yet leaving many questions open, and paradoxes unanswered.
For many people, the PISCEAN net / web / bubble / labyrinth of the last four years prevails… and had various mushrooming expressions since.
The role of mainstream media (PI) in all this has been questioned.
While new alternative / independent media have emerged in the process.
Another indicator for the transition from the Pisces to the Aquarius Age.
* Can MERCURY in PISCES 2024 help us see the 2020-23 dyna-mix better – maybe ‘even’ as part of the VIR – PI Full Moon on Feb 24?
* Can it help disentangle some of the strands in the mental net we might have experienced ourselves trapped in?
* And transcend ever more intense polarization and division, while moving into Unity Consciousness?
Even though, this year, MERCURY isn’t as super long in PI as in the epic 2020 phase, it’ll be one of the influential cosmic factors that set the tone for this year’s Winter-to-Spring transition:
Currently, The SUN, SATURN, and NEPTUNE are in PI, followed by MERCURY on Feb 22, and by VENUS on March 11.
MARS will also enter PI, on March 22 – when the SUN & MERCURY will be already in ARIES.
The month of March will be very PI – AR / Winter-to-Spring transitional, in literal and symbolic ways.
PISCES is the energy before the Spring Equinox.
Winter and the old Zodiac cycle are ‘washing away’ & ‘dissolving’, so that a fresh cycle can start. Everything comes together in a ‘grand finale’, where endings / surrendering make space for the New.
What are the Gifts of MERCURY in PISCES?
With MERCURY in PI, the ‘usual’ straight-forward communication turns into an energetic / psychic tuning in, attuning to, and communing with one another, as Humans, with Animals, with All of Nature, with Spirit and all that-IS, in the Web of Life.
A wonderful time for creative imagination & inspiration.
For music, dance, poetry, film, photography, and art as multi-D fusion.
And for spiritual, transcendent No-Mind realizations.
We have only 16 days (now, that’s short, even for swift MERCURY!) –
To attune to that (time transcending) PISCEAN Space-of-Mind.
Plus, we’re in the NO-retro zone now (since Jan 26 when URANUS in TAU left its retro phase, and before MERCURY will go retro in AR, on Apr 1) – things can move and come together much faster than usually.
Going with the Flow of MERCURY in PISCES
– without going under…

As MERCURY swims & surfs in PISCES now…
* Whom & what are you mentally in resonance with?
* Where can you relax, with ease & flow (things can be washed out if needed), rather than disconnect / check out?
* Where do you pick up vibes (even / esp. via resonance & connection) that aren’t necessarily beneficial? Important to do mental hygiene…
The Full Moon in VIR (ruled by MERCURY) – PISCES on Feb 24 supports it too.
Everything PISCEAN is brought to our mental awareness:
Overwhelm
What does that have to do with your state of mind?
Maybe even more so than with an ‘objective reality’?
What of it is self-made?
Why do you overwhelm yourself mentally-emotionally?
Can it be even an addiction to overwhelm(!), a distraction, or self sabotage?
Be open and think paradoxically (which is very PISCES).
Similarly, feeling disoriented, lost, confused, fatigued –
What’s your mind’s contribution to this?
Maybe certain ‘issues’ don’t have to be sorted out…
What’s the not knowing pointing you to?
Escapism
A response to overwhelm, feeling depleted, confused, fatigued?
Notice when you’re avoiding the here & now, and why?
Maybe a healthy dose of disruption of ‘reality’ with formed patterns & habits is a good thing?
Addictions (to substances, behaviour, you name it…)
Ask questions like Dr. Gabor Mate would:
“Not, what’s wrong with the addiction?” but “what’s right about it?”
“Why does it make perfect sense for your situation?”
“What is it a response to?”
And: What’s the real thing you’re longing for?
PISCES is about letting go and letting it BE.
Space is being created where there’s no agenda, rather natural loving acceptance without judgement or resistance.
Things can take a turn, or organically run their course, just like a wave.
A low vibration of MERCURY in PI:
To passively let overwhelming / overpowering waves roll over you, and take you under…
Good to discern (a la VIR – MERCURY’s sign), question & communicate (GEM, also ruled by MERCURY) mental-informational waves.
To tune into Grace – and good music…

Here’s a beautifully poetic and wise quote by Ann Mortifee from her book In Love With the Mystery (not only) for MERCURY in PI:
“GRACE
Grace is undying favour, the unexpected balm of the Unknowable.
Like the air we breathe, grace flows through, around, and in everything.
We have only to sink into the deep resonance of this very moment now to receive its blessing.
Grace is always present, waiting to bestow its healing breath upon whoever draws near.
It is we who must approach in the stillness. It is we who must open to receive.
Grace is a constant. We are the variable.
The more constant our surrender the more grace-filled we become.”
What’s special about this MERCURY in PISCES?

The PISCES motto (ruled by NEPTUNE – in PI since 2012, until 2026): All is ONE.
And: Nothing is as it seems –
in the realm of paradoxes.
MERCURY will this year catch up with NEPTUNE on March 8.
The VIR – PI Full Moon on Feb 24 activates MERCURY, SATURN, and NEPTUNE.
When things appear ‘super messy’, can you let the mind be at ease – and be as / by the Water?!
SATURN is nowa-years (March 2023 – Feb 2026) also in PI offers spiritual teachings / lessons, and more evidence for the fact that the Pisces Age is ending.
At this PISCean time / with this vibe, we tend to think, write, discuss, and communicate (MERCURY) more than otherwise about themes like:
* Connections, connectedness, and unity
* How all these apparently ‘separate issues’ are intrinsically connected
* Connecting the dots, in so many ways…
* Music, arts, media, dance, drugs, the atmosphere & overall climate…
* What / whom we’re missing – yet who’s / what’s always IN us anyway
* What ‘s fleeting, lost, impermanent, and what cannot really go away
* New (or: old, lost and found) ideas can spring forth – if you allow the mind to wander / ‘escape’ for a while from the ‘task at hand’…
Shadowy / low vibrational mental expressions of PISCES:
Overwhelm, confusion, delusion, deception, co-dependency, addictions.
Yes, it ‘all comes together’ in these phenomena too, but in a way where we don’t let go… or we might feel ‘subject to / victim of a ‘situation’ / person (and ‘bonded’ / entangled in that state).
The ‘job’ of MERCURY in PISCES:
To catch the mind getting carried away with delusions, or illusions that a ‘merchant’ or our own mind tries to ‘sell us’ as ‘the real thing’.
MERCURY in PI can be quite good at camouflaging, masking, pretending, (self) deception, fantasy and imagination.
The ego driven mind tells us, “There’s ‘not enough connection” / “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…” – since it’s not the ‘real deal’ / we’re looking at the wrong places.
Time to re-attune it to be the assistant / tool / messenger to Spirit & Heart (which are intrinsically fulfilling).
Being aware of the mental tricks is the first step into true Oneness.
MERCURY in PISCES & its Dances with other Planets
FEB 22
MERCURY enters PISCES
Inter-connective thinking, elasticity, ambiguity, paradoxes, fluidity, open-mindedness, on the bright / neutral side.
Mental overwhelm, escapism, additions, feeling lost, as lower vibrations…
FEB 24
The VIR – PI Full Moon also activates MERCURY
Reason vs / and intuition?
FEB 28
MERCURY meets & passes the SUN (‘Superior Conjunction’ / MERCURY now fastest, between retro phases) and also SATURN(!) in early PI
Uhhh – is the ‘Messenger’ / mind taking the ‘driver’s seat’ again?!
Don’t ‘lead’ with a confused / overwhelmed mind.
Check in with Spirit / Consciousness / the Heart!
What have been your experiences & lessons in the last year (SATURN in PI since March 2023), when it comes to adaptation, surrender, letting go? Great energy for ‘inventory’ writing.
Go ‘fishing’ / swimming / dancing / yoga-ing.
A good time for new beginnings, in artistic, spiritual, no-agenda realms…
Move the energy, and ‘wash’ the mind clear.
FEB 29
MERCURY in PI in sextile w. JUPITER in TAU
Be generous, offer gratitude, and allow the Universe to bless & shower you with gifts, in synchronistic ways…
MARCH 4
MERCURY in PI in sextile with URANUS (‘higher octave’ of MERCURY) in TAU (where URANUS is in ‘fall’ – while MERCURY is in ‘exile’ in PI – both Planets not in their ‘happy zones’)
Can be confusing & chaotic mentally, and sensed in the body too, as: unpredictable states, itchy energy, loosing stability.
Allow ‘impermanence’ & ‘randomness’ to happen.
Relax, connect, be free – just BE!
Be present with what shows up in each moment.
Ease of Mind helps with EmBodying Freedom.
MARCH 8
MERCURY in PI meets NEPTUNE
Letting go of old mental states that used to draw / pull / allure us – ‘even’ in intoxicating, addictive ways…
Overwhelmed by a cocktail of influences, we might have checked out, been victimize-able and manipulation / numbing prone.
Calling out the hypnosis of confusion, illusion, delusion.
All the above is very apropos the old Pisces Age shadow.
Time to become conscious of it, release it, not be available to these ‘sirens’ anymore, and to go for true Unity instead.
MARCH 19
MERCURY enters ARIES (until May 15 – due to retro phase, Apr 1 – 25)
Sharp & fast mind. New thoughts, ideas & conversations.
Direct & authentic communication.
MERCURY in PISCES in your Chart…
…can help you become more aware of the energy & vibration of SUN, MOON, AC, or Planetary Archetypes in PISCES…
And the area/s of life relating to the House/s where PISCES is in your chart/s.
It has messages of connectedness for you, esp. relating to areas of your Life that the PISCES House is in your chart points to…
Even though, PI also tends to ‘spread all-over’ (while being elusive)…
1st House
Your Presence and Sense of Self
2nd House
Your Values, what you own, literally & metaphorically, your Business
3rd House
Your Environment and its Mentality
4th House
Your Home, Origin, Ancestry
5th House
Your Creative, Playful, Inner Child and Lover
6th House
Your Work, Wellness, Lifestyle
7th House
Your Partners and Significant Others
8th House
Your Involvement and Sharing with Others, Your Transformations
9th House
What gives you Meaning, Your Wisdom, Inspiration, Path and Travels
10th House
Your Purpose incl Career, Your Public Self
11th House
Your Social Side – Engagement with Society, Groups and Friends
12th House
Your Transcendent and Spiritual Self and Union with All-that-Is.

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
From time to time, I have OFFERS on which you can find on my Astrology for Self Realization FB Page.
Here’s the current one – ending on FEB 22!
ASTRO~EXPERIENCES
via Courses, Workshops, and Embodied Astrology
Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over time (the 16 years I’ve been facilitating them) become quite potent and catalytic.
The intimate Astro hubs (max 6 participants) are a treasured way of being personally seen and involved – more commitment, a personal sense of community, and deeper effects.
Come join us, if deep synergy in a circle speaks to you!
