Mercury in Pisces: Personality Characteristics

Mercury in Pisces Personality

Mercury in Pisces represents an intuitive and abstract thinking style. Cold, hard logic and rote memorization is not emphasized here. Instead, subjectivity and idealism play a larger role in the thinking process. These individuals are prone to having flashes of insight and epiphanies that come unexpectedly. They are impressionable and flexible in their perspectives and may have a tendency to flip flop and change their mind.

Being resolute and decisive can be a struggle for them. Their perspective can often be highly relativistic and subjective. Thus, objectivity is not their forte and they may be prone to have naive and unrealistic ideas. People with Mercury in Pisces may sometimes harbor perceptions that are out of touch with reality. They are capable of convincing themselves of anything they want to believe which can contribute to a denial of reality that is problematic. At the same time, they also have the potential to happen upon insights that are counterintuitive but ingenious or creative.

With this Mercury placement, decisions and judgements are informed by humane ideals and emotional intelligence. There is likely to be a preference for right-brained, abstract thinking. Their perceptions tend to be more impressionistic and nebulous. It can be difficult for them to put into words exactly what they think or feel. Oftentimes they don’t know what to really think and tend to feel a sense of ambiguity and lack of clear direction.

For them, they’re thinking process involves a lot of trial and error and a reliance on intuition to feel things out. They are subject to ups and downs and unpredictable whims that influence their choices. They generally do what feels right to them even when it doesn’t quite make perfect sense. It can sometimes be difficult to understand their motives and reasoning because they are so chameleon-like in their perspectives. To this extent they can be highly empathetic and able to put themselves in other people’s shoes, imagining and understanding where they’re coming from.

The style of speech is likely to lean towards the figurative than the literal. These individuals can be creative storytellers who paint pictures with their words. At the same time, this capacity for imaginative expression can also make them quite capable deceivers. They can be such elaborate liars that you might even call it a skill. Sometimes the lies become real to them because they’ve convinced themselves of it.

Their perceptions can be highly skewed or altered by whatever tinted glasses they choose to view the world with. Furthermore, this Mercury position suggests a style of learning that is more intuitive. They may have trouble absorbing information about topics that don’t resonate with or interest them. Although they can appear to be quite receptive listeners, a lot of what they are told can go in one ear and out the other. They are often distracted by their own inner thoughts and impressions. It can be a struggle for them to concentrate their attention on anything without getting mentally sidetracked.

Individuals with Mercury in Pisces tend to meander in their stream of thought. They may have difficulty putting their thoughts together extemporaneously. Generally, they need time to organize their words in order to properly articulate what they really want to say. However, they can make for good writers and songwriters. There is a capacity for expressing emotion through words here.

Although they can be romantic and thoughtful, these individuals may be prone to forgetting anniversaries and special dates.

They are very imaginative and their ability to inhabit different perspectives can make them very talented chameleons.

Mercury in Pisces Woman

The mercury in Pisces female is something of a shape shifter. They like to change things up frequently and explore many different ideas. They resonate with people who embrace their eclectic vibe. They can be amusing communicators although they are prone to using figurative expressions and euphemisms that sometimes fly over people’s heads.

At some point in their lives, they are bound to take up an interest in spiritual studies and humanitarian work. They are always trying to learn from their mistakes and evolve as a person.
