Mercury in Pisces: Time to Get Creative!

With communication planet, Mercury, swimming through creative Pisces from February 14 through March 4, our sense of creativity is piqued and it’s time to use our imaginations to move toward success. Intuition should be the driving force when making decisions at work in the coming weeks.

The irony of Mercury in Pisces is that doing less will actually lead to a boost in productivity. Time out from demanding projects -- to watch a movie, read a book, unwind with music -- helps reinvigorate you. If you think of daydreaming as a different kind of brainstorming now, you’ll see how powerful a professional time-out can be. 

While travelling through in Pisces, Mercury also connects with the energies of a number of other planets, creating even more opportunities for success. Here’s how best to take advantage of those aspects:

February 14: Mercury-Neptune
Today’s aspect represents heightened creativity. Rather than focussing on budgets or details, envision your professional year ahead. Put together a vision board. Imagination is strong today, and will give you clues as to where success lies for you in 2012.

February 16: Mercury-Jupiter
Lucky connections open doors today, so if a person or idea pops into your head at a seemingly weird moment, follow it up! A little effort goes a long way now, so reach out to any inspiring people around you. External input supports breakthrough ideas.

February 18: Mercury-Pluto
Be obsessive about your ideas! Research and dig deep into those dreams that haunt you. See how much you can fuel your brainstorms. Hidden facts come to light as you ask questions and investigate, thus clarifying where you should head next.

February 22: Mercury-Mars
This frisky opposition could highlight tension. Differing ideas all need attention but there’s only so much that can be done immediately. Prioritize timelines so that you can apply your energy to the most urgent ideas first. Accelerated actions are key!
