Mercury enters Pisces on Friday 6 February 2026, 22:48 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Aries on Wednesday 15 April 2026, 03:22 UTC, after 67 days. During this stay Mercury turns retrograde from 26 February 2026 to 20 March 2026.
Mercury enters Pisces from Aquarius on 6 February 2026 at 22:48 UTC. It stays an unusually long 67 days and leaves for Aries on 15 April at 03:22 UTC. The length comes from a retrograde period inside the stay, from 26 February to 20 March 2026. Pisces is a mutable water sign ruled by Neptune.
The tradition treats Pisces as the sign of imagination, empathy and blurred edges. Here Mercury, the planet of logic and messages, is considered to work less by precision and more by intuition. Astrologers often read the placement as good for poetry, music and listening, and less suited to fine print. With a retrograde in the middle, the emphasis is usually on review and revisiting. One practical habit for these weeks: confirm times and details in writing.
