Mercury in Pisces

Communication

With Mercury in Pisces, their attention can scatter. At times they say very little, and at others they find it hard to stop. When they want to explain something, they may go on at length before reaching the central matter.

They try not to hurt, and so they sometimes avoid expressions that are too direct. Words they consider vulgar make them uncomfortable; even in intimacy they may use nicknames to refer to the body or to lovemaking.

As in the descriptions of Mercury in Cancer and Scorpio, they may keep their feelings to themselves until they find an atmosphere of trust. When inspiration comes, they express them with depth. They are attentive to gestures, moods and nonverbal communication, which can give them a very fine perception of what is happening around them.

Lies affect them especially. Pressuring them to talk can make it harder for them to open up; they tend to do so when they feel their moment has come. When they find inspiration in what they are doing, an inner strength appears that helps them move forward with determination.
