This has been one of the most inaccurate B-S descriptions I have ever read about myself. Seriously!! I do not struggle to speak up for myself. I wisely pick my battles now, actually. But years ago, I would ROAST you like a Thanksgiving Turkey!!! I'm not built to be anyone's doormat.

My mind can indeed be on more than one thing simultaneously. I do constantly have thoughts & ideas coming to me that I want to put into action...so I do take notes & write things down sometimes, as not to forget about all these *lovely* things.

I'm an Aries-Sun, so I think that the Pisces element calms me & adds tact that I otherwise might not have had. I'm direct & honest, but I'm considerate & kind too. I'm rather intuitive, so I try my best to put myself in other people's shoes when speaking to them. I can be sensitive at times, yes. But I'm mature enough not to let that get out of control.

Hi Kerosene.

Do you mind sharing what you find most interesting about this placement?

But admittingly I don't do well with confusion, I NEED to have clarity and have bigger picture about things I care about to be content with the situation. This need has taught me so much in life.

So it should be the same for sag in mercury! But I think the house placement and aspect tells a bit more...and you have mercury in 6th house - of virgo
I don't personally know anyone with pisces mercury though..

---

My Mercury is unaspected, at least to my knowledge. But yes, it's in the House of Virgo.

So is the House the reason why I don't completely relate to these Pisces descriptions?

Or is it that some people don't understand this placement of Pisces well enough to explain it properly?

And oh my mind knows no bounds though, you can pretty much expect anything from me .. So I also don't do well with structure but I LOVE having clarity .. It's all kind of a paradox..

Occasionally, I'll get confused. But it's not a constant in my life. The "Big Picture" is indeed very *important* for me, so we agree there.

I understand the paradox. Our brains know "no bounds" - we think in a beautiful, free-flowing, open-minded way. Not in some air-headed, lost & confused way. Get what I'm saying?!

*So without being rude - WHY exactly is this placement such a negative to people??

This is false about me.

I read people *AND* listen to them. Not one or the other. Unless you have really p!ssed me off, I want to hear everything you have to say to *AVOID* misunderstandings.

That's a vague statement because we all can misunderstand each other, even synastry suggests this.
Certainly people with mercury in water signs can easily understand mercury in Pisces.

My thoughts exactly.

The ability to read people is NOT something that can be taught, it's a gift...not a 'fantasy'. The ability to see the UNSEEN is powerful. That should never be frowned upon!

Grand idiotic assumptions or constant overreaction is different, and that's another matter. If a Pisces-person is doing that, then I'd get it.

I agree with the rest but I don't see it as being a major disadvantage.
This is why I don't really believe in planets in fall or debilitation being all that bad, it all depends on personal preference.

---

I'm totally with you on the whole "fall" concept. Anywhere in astrology, I loathe that! I think it's insulting & ignorant to assume that certain signs are awful, while others are awesome.

Don't try to show off with your skills though because many people have no understanding of Piscean waters.. It seems like uncharted territory.
So always use your skills to your advantage and make them work for you - but don't show off or explain yourself to others.

The same people who are skeptical when you show off about a skill - like being a good judge of character... are the people who will ask you, in sheer astonishment:
"WoW how did you know that would happen?" - after the event...
or
"WoW how did you even manage to get us out of this mess? I thought we were gone!!"

For example, when trying to impress someone (like your boss) it helps when you can "speak their language".

It's a good placement in particular, for conflict resolution - helping opposing parties come to an amicable understanding. I would say Pisces Merc does even better than Libra Merc in this kind of situation.

*applause*

Now that was an excellent response. This is spot on!

So honestly don't bother explaining anything. Just be who you are and use your gifts and skills as everyone else does. The rest of the world is not really on a need to know basis. Magicians never give away their tricks with good reason.

BTW...you described me perfectly - I can deal w/ facts & spirituality EQUALLY.

The only problem with being able to see the unseen, is that you may be the only one who sees it, and if that's the case and maybe you can't prove it . Well, that's why Mercury is in detriment there.

There's no judgement involved whatsoever. Pisces don't judge (especially not character). They pick up on mood and atmosphere. They rely on intuition. Intuition is not Mercury's domain.

But you’ve put it in the list of “negative” traits of mercury in Pisces.

posted September 23, 2013 01:19 AM            

I guess people are overly attached to their exalted planets or possibly a superiority complex.

Here's some negative traits about mercury in gemini/virgo that suck as much as mercury in pisces

for gemini
procrastination
deceitful
often sounds annoying
or really nervous and restless with their speech pattern

For virgo
Too critical
narrow minded
sounds boring
Know it all's
