Mercury RX in Pisces: horoscopes & Ritualistic Protocol for tender times

February 2: Mercury entered shadow zone (warm up)
February 16: Mercury stations retrograde
March 9: Mercury stations direct
March 9-30: Mercury shadow zone (cool down)

Mercury retrograde in pisces is a time to reimagine possibility, surrender, & sovereignty. when Mercury entered the shadow zone, I shared some of how I am supporting myself in navigating this specific retrograde. I thought I would offer horoscopes to support you in navigating these tender times, too. they include tips for what to reimagine & what themes you can shape your ritualistic protocol around. more pro-tips at the bottom.

---

pisces rising
reimagine yourself as an ocean only you know. create pockets of empty time where possibilities & epiphanies can float to the surface. consider space, quiet, & intentionality the filters that keep your waters sovereign. if you feel a current pulling you away, surrender to its guidance or use it to resist directions/movements that don’t resonate anymore.

---

aquarius rising
reimagine where your money & resources are leaking. this may be about spending/giving too much or where your relationship to those things leaks power. to begin to plug the leak, you may need to consider different possibilities than you were given. surrender to time revealing the origin point & the medicine.

---

capricorn rising
reimagine the art of minding your business. this time period is full of possibilities to show mastery in it. when the business is yours to mind, be extra deliberate about honoring your sovereignty in communication. surrender isn’t just boundary work, it is also response-ability.

---

sagittarius rising
reimagine your ancestors in the way you reach your roots down, in the way you react when they’re disturbed. contemplate the medicine of your origins. experiment with the possibilities of just being. surround yourself with those who recognize your sovereignty. think about “enough” as a matter of surrender to your inherent lovability.

---

scorpio rising
reimagine creativity as operating within a nonlinear timeline. the clearer you can be about why you’re showing up, the easier it is to maintain your sovereignty amidst plot twists. use play (another word for surrender) to clear your channels for input about possibilities.

---

libra rising
reimagine a functionality that does not determine your sacredness. caring for your health & well-being is simply one possibility of loving yourself, not for proving your sovereignty to the world. give yourself as many breaks as necessary to catch your breath. there is no shame in using floaties so you don’t drown.

---

virgo rising
reimagine relationships, people as mirrors, functional boundaries. the slippery slope of taking responsibility for other people is more slippery than usual right now. possibility: ever so gently practice redirecting attention to yourself in small doses until you become more comfy in your sovereignty.

---

leo rising
reimagine tending to your mental health, grief processes, or discomfort within collaborations/shared resources. embrace possibilities to slow down & make necessary adjustments. containers of solitude help sift through what does/doesn’t belong to you. you are sovereign here & now, you were sovereign a long-time ago.

---

cancer rising
reimagine what it means to live in an ethic of curiosity. you may need to surrender versions of yourself to do so. yet the truth might be more generative than constricting your sovereignty. what is possible is not only about the questions you ask, but the answers you allow yourself to receive.

---

gemini rising
reimagine your life-direction. is it nuanced, complex, flexible enough for you? sovereignty isn’t sitting on a throne that never moves, it is being on your throne no matter where you are. possibilities of surrender are everywhere: the trick is to know which align & which distract. get quiet inside-out to know which.

---

taurus rising
reimagine community as shared wealth, health, & resources. what you can contribute with ease then becomes a benefit, rather than overextending from your own deficits. this is how you honor everyone’s sovereignty. there are more possibilities than you could ever surrender to at once so choose the one that brings calm right now.

---

aries rising
reimagine your emotional & spiritual well-being as an ongoing learning curve. you don’t need to know everything or be everything to survive. surrendering to what’s true for you right now opens up possibility in ways not visible before. your sovereignty is not dependent on your submission. carve space for yourself within.

---

pro-tips: what’s your ritualistic protocol for Mercury rx? take a moment to use your horoscope to shape a strategy of more space, surrender, & self-support. I use the word shape because it will be most effective if it is flexible, adaptable, & gentle. if you use tarot/oracles, expand on it by choosing one for this time period. make reminders/make it visible.

if this is your Mercury return, you have significant mutable (gemini, sag, virgo, pisces) placements, or you are gemini/virgo rising you may experience this retrograde more than most. if you share your ritualistic protocol for Mercury rx on social media, you can tag Saltwater Stars or use the hashtag #ritualisticprotocol.

mini scopes: full moon lunar eclipse in cancer

full moon lunar eclipse in cancer
january 10 @2:21PM est

read your rising sign for accuracy and/or sun sign for affirmation

aries: what you do out in the world does not define you. how you are out in the world does. endings or clarity are not punishments, but opportunities to grow in your power.

taurus: thinking deeply rather than broadly during this time uncovers solutions, which often come from resolving internal contradictions. identify what is true for you rather than attempting to exist in absolutes.

gemini: it is natural to want to cultivate security based on how others are showing up. Saturn reminds you that power is a practice of integrity & self-respect. be trustworthy to yourself.

cancer: love smarter not harder. you absolutely are capable of moving in glorious upward spirals. be honest about how you participate in the pattern(s).

leo: don’t allow others resentment or misunderstanding of your integrity to distract you. use your support systems & focus on not harming yourself. be patient & trust your lack of tolerance for bullshit.

virgo: do yourself justice by not suffering the inconsistency of others & be clear about your own agreements. be available to yourself so you can be available to your community.

libra: this is old school but that’s Saturn: sometimes you gotta do shit you DON’T WANT TO DO so you can experience growth. implement awareness & give yourself permission to outgrow your past.

scorpio: hyper-individualism is tempting because it provides a false sense of control. it is interdependence & accountability that is needed. honor what you know without overcompensating for your insecurities.

sagittarius: you might feel like you’re between a rock & a hard place. be willing to learn deeper lessons about how to give up to reduce harm, when to be vulnerable, & when to protect yourself.

capricorn: it is as important for you to approach things pragmatically as it is for you to approach them with intuition. we cannot always predict the outcome of trusting it but we can choose to respond.

aquarius: the more slowly you can move, the more deeply rooted the tangible results of listening to your inner guidance will be. the apocalypses of your psyche are the uncovering of your innate brilliance.

pisces: be transparent yet discreet about your visions for the future & the outcomes you desire from offering your brightest contribution. your approval is all that is required.
