Sinking feelings are par for the course when Mercury is retrograde in Pisces. That’s because the typically clipped and analytical messaging of Mercury takes on a more oracular tone when it’s traveling through the sign of the fish. Cryptic warnings and enigmatic utterances often go ignored at the time because they either seem too farfetched or incomprehensible. It’s only when the planet retrogrades back passed the Sun that we finally understand what the warning was all about. This is what you’ll experience on Feb. 25 when something that was predicted weeks ago comes to pass. Now you may think you have to accept the outcome and live with the consequences, but that doesn’t have to be the case. If anything, Mercury retrogrades often provide an out if you know where and when to look for them. What you’ll want to do is think backwards given that the planet of the mind is currently moving in reverse. Review your actions and retrace your steps and you’ll soon discover a loophole where a fait accompli used to be.
