Astrology News for Tuesday, Feb. 5: 'Mars and Mercury in Pisces'

Mercury enters Pisces and encourages us to get in touch with the spiritual part of your nature. You will want to spend some time along doing quiet things.  

Rational thinking - what Mercury represents - is challenged in Pisces, for in Pisces Mercury needs to think differently. While Mercury is in Pisces you are encouraged to follow your nose, intuit answers, or you will just know things. Ideas come out of nowhere, everywhere or from under there. Expect insights and awakenings, open up to the unknown. Write poetry, divine lyrics, channel other-worlds.

This is also a great time for setting your intentions and while you're there set some for the greater good too. Don't over do anything and avoid taking on any new obligations or make any life-changing decisions. You may lack vital information.  

Mars in Pisces, is like a hot iron getting doused, the heat of Mars is cooled by the ocean of Pisces. Mars, warrior planet of action and bravado now comes into Pisces for a good old clean up. Not really his place to be pampered and fluffed, but nevertheless something we could all do with.

It is time to relieve some stress, let go and plan an escape. The the fire was fueled by air, but here fire and water don’t mix too well, water makes fire go out, fire makes water steam or boil. Mars, moving through Pisces from now til March 11, you will see your emotional world ignited. It will either bubble up your world or douse your energy and drive. Either way, take note to rest, retreat or hideout for a while.
