Mercury Conjunct Neptune in Pisces
On March 2, 2025, we experience the conjunction of Mercury and Neptune in the mystical waters of Pisces. A conjunction is the meeting of two or more planetary bodies in our cosmos. In this moment, their energies come together, merging and becoming one. In a conjunction, one cannot be distinguished from the other.
Mercury is our planet of the mind, communication, learning, and processing. Whatever Neptune touches, it softens, blurs, and merges. On this day, then, our mind becomes one with the sacred realm and our thinking merges with intuition and emotion.
As they come together, Mercury channels the expression of Neptune so our voice and words become potential vessels of love and creativity. The medicine of this partnership is heightened intuition, healing, creative thinking, and imagination.
Yet to achieve this, Neptune has to bring its softening essence to our minds. Rather than clear thinking, structured planning, or detail-oriented communication, it is a time for reading poetry, daydreaming, and creative imagination.
Conjunct Neptune, Mercury invites us into a beautiful space of surrender, where we remember that we are one with infinite inspiration and potential. This is a day to remember ourselves as channels for art and ideas and to recall the importance of attuning to our imagination.
Mercury Enters Aries
After its dance with Neptune, Mercury crosses a threshold from Pisces, the final sign of the zodiac, into Aries, the first sign, on March 3, 2025, and remains there until March 29, 2025.
As our planet of the mind, communication, learning, and processing enters Aries, it brings speed, passion, assertiveness, and courage to these spaces of the mind. It ignites a fire in our expression and brings desire to the center of our thinking.
Mercury is in preparation for its upcoming retrograde, which will also be in Aries beginning March 15, 2025. So while Aries turns up our inner flames of enthusiasm and desire, inspiration and initiation, our upcoming retrograde invites us to bring more observation to the thoughts that occupy our minds. It is these same steps, ideas, and desires that we will soon be retracing and observing from a different vantage.
