If Mercury was a jazz musician, he’d normally be all quick fingers and sharp notes, a bebop genius who keeps the rhythm crisp and the improvisations logical…

But when he slips into Pisces?

The sheet music dissolves into a fine mist, the saxophone starts weeping existential truths, and suddenly he’s playing melodies no one can hear but everyone can feel…

Mercury in Pisces doesn’t think—Mercury in Pisces dreams.

He doesn’t communicate—he transmits, dissolves, conjures, and confounds.

This is the poet’s Mercury, the mystic’s Mercury, the unreliable narrator of the cosmos—not because he means to deceive, but because the edges of reality are just so damn blurry from where he’s sitting.

If traditional Mercury is the mailman, delivering crisp, well-labeled envelopes to their precise destinations, Mercury in Pisces is the message in a bottle, adrift on an ocean of symbols, waiting for someone who knows how to read between the waves to pick it up and decode its meaning.

The Language of the Unspoken

Mercury, in its usual form, is a creature of logic, reason, and linear thinking. He likes maps. He likes categories. He likes to name things, define things, put things in their proper places.

But Pisces doesn’t believe in places—Pisces believes in the vast, rolling tides of everything-all-at-once.

So Mercury in Pisces?
