Today Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, stations retrograde at 1:48 AM EST in visionary, spiritual Pisces, inspiring weeks of Divinely guided reflection. Although we have galloped into the year of the horse, and both Neptune and Saturn are marching forward in daring Aries, Mercury has decided to rein us in, and give us time to circle the corral before marching forward into this dynamic year.

Mercury will be traveling retrograde in the most visionary sign of the zodiac, inviting us to clarify our dreams, visions and seek the Divine Guidance required to clarify, crystallize and achieve them. Mercury will station direct again on March 20th, just in time for spring equinox. Till then, it’s a beautiful time for a vision quest.
