That’s a big question. A rather large ask. Still, somewhere in the drawers or cabinets of our minds we have an idea of what the Age of Pisces was about. While Mercury is retrograde in Pisces we might find ourselves ruminating about our past. Our time would be better spent considering the collective past over the last 2000 years or even just since you were born. How has the world changed? What does the word ‘evolution’ mean to you? How does it feel to be carried along the tides and turns of a world you most definitely didn’t create? These are Pisces questions. They don’t necessarily have answers. In fact, they often give rise to more questions.

For our personal considerations, this retrograde will conjunct Venus, only once at the beginning, trine Jupiter, and conjunct the North Node, all aspects of hope and possibility. The effort of looking back and considering is meant to increase our connection to the soul, to help us grow in faith rather than belief. Which is to say, not the blind kind, more the felt kind. The faith we have when we smell spring coming around the bend, when we watch little ones take their first steps or learn to talk. Faith in the power and desire of life itself to rise up and become what it needs to, so it can keep on keeping on.

The essence of any Mercury retrograde is when it conjuncts the Sun (March 7^th). That is when the winged messenger (Mercury) offers messages to us to use or ponder as we turn to the second half of the retrograde journey.  What form of meditation will you use to still yourself and listen for such a message?
