I heard from a client this morning, he was upset. He’s got Gemini and Sagittarius strongly represented in his chart and you can imagine his struggle with this huge stellium in Pisces. He’s really got to work not to undo himself.
He called pissed off over some information I felt he misinterpreted. I’m not personally involved so I was able to reinterpret it for him. He’s brainy (Gemini) and knows the truth when he hears it (Sagittarius) so he calmed right down, with the new understanding.
I am seeing a lot of this mental weirdness over this last period with Mercury in Pisces. You might misunderstand someone or misinterpret something. In some cases, people are deliberately skewing facts for some reason. You can do this on your own too. That’s what happened to this man this morning.
Mercury is retrograde now, which will further complicate things. You need only look at the news to see how facts are blurred or obscured.
I think the best play now, it to realize you don’t know until you know. Mars is near Mercury and it’s just too easy to eat your own gun.

I’ve had some very surprising communications these past few days. I had a performance review yesterday, which went well but somehow I managed to surprise them with my goals and visions for the next few years.
I don’t know if it’s because of Neptune transiting my Midheaven, or the current Pisces activity sextile my Taurus stuff, or p.Neptune conjunct my MC but it is kind of shocking how fuzzy I appear to others, considering how solid I feel.
Weird for for a Bull to be mistaken for a duck…and a sitting one at that.
Someone told me they’re sure my book will be horrible and inferior to…I don’t know what.
Huh?
It’s craaazy.
A few days ago, one of my residents lied about me to my boss, and the next thing you know, I’m getting reamed over it. And of course, instead of staying cool and confident, I got flustered and made myself look like an ass. Now my boss likely has the impression that I don’t care about my residents like I should, and that the accusations are true. :/ At this point, they can believe whatever they want.
I’ve followed this small piece of advice: Believe nothing of what you see and half of what you hear. It’s worked thus far.
One of my guinea fowl freaked out last night – he sleeps on the deck because he can’t fly – so I went out and there was just some feathers so I figured something got him. I looked around & didn’t see him.
When I came back in the house the alarm system do-dad on the door fell off LOL so I had to call the alarm system co and stop the beeping.
All this Pisces is in my 3rd house.
The guinea was OK this morning, waiting for me to feed him.
(((Elsa))) sorry that person said that. Jerk.
Some people are so unbelievably nasty. WTF would you say that to someone? Rude!
I recently discovered that I was a merc rx shadow baby. Threw my hands in the air and laughed. Suddenly my life ala forest gump made sense.
That’s the thing for the merc rx person I think, being misunderstood. With merc going rx on my natal mars, I can let go of alot of angst about the static I’ve experienced and revel more fully in the smellin of the roses.
Taking it all too seriously or being all caught up in a narrow focus limits the width of my life experience. Talk about eating my own gun. Great phrase by the way. I am stealin it and will be usin it.
I am sure saturnines will hate what I’ve written. But hey, we are all individuals right? And if we are to believe in planetary energy and it’s multi-potential expression, then it just isn’t the same for everybody, is it? Can ya just tell I am ridin it high on my new find and over justifying myself. It will integrate, it will integrate.
Oh, why would someone tell me “you are nothing?” I don’t know. It’s their problem. But if I had written a book, I would know I was something or I would not be holding the book in my hand and other people would not be reading it.
I’ve had so many haters during the course of my lifetime and I really don’t want them occupying my psychological space anymore. But they are really good at doing that, aren’t they? Rat bastards!
Prey in the wild freeze. I mean dead stop. Don’t move. Because predators depend on movement to pounce. Like sweet little kitty who can play with the toy on the string I move back and forth. She just can’t stop. I will stop jabbering away and contemplate now.
Thanks Elsa. Good to know. I tried to post on the boards on this last night (not sure if anyone replied) doesn’t matter. This stellenium is in my 8th house. Moon and Mercury in Gemini Natally in the 11th house.
I am trying to stay real focused on high mindedness, as it is too easy right now to get washed out to sea. Trying to be a better Virgo (north node) and build a boat.
Mental weirdness? I am currently “hosting” Pluto transiting my 3rd house AND conjunct my natal mercury. I take NOTHING at face value. To me, EVERYTHING nowadays has a hidden/secretive meaning! Paranoid? No. Unfortunately, I’ve been right on about most everything!
Someone whom I thought was pretty close to me accused me of something and passed harsh judgment on me.I was shocked and stunned by the comments and accusations.This has never happened before.None of it is true.I deeply examined myself just in case they may have been on to something,but they were just off…way off!The hard part has been trying to undo the criticism they inflicted-Mars in Virgo struggles with this.Ouch!
@Elsa, what a crappy thing for someone to say. Too bad they weren’t a little more self-aware, exhibiting their own jealousy that way might have embarrassed them, even if their bad manners didn’t.
Re. all this Pisces…I am experiencing it very strangely. I’ve been doing a lot of drawing but something about it is different. I cannot get the essence of my subjects. They keep dissolving and changing in a way that is maddening, fascinating, and tests my own notions of visual reality.
Sounds right – Neptune in Pisces!
A friend I’m in daily contact with has just been making no sense lately. Making statements that contradict each other from one message to the next. Saying things that defy ‘consensual reality’, like 2+2=5 (although the day before 2+2=4), etc. I’ve decided to let it all flow with minimal response, and certainly no questioning.
I’m just accepting ~her~ reality as ~she~ sees it from moment to moment and figuring at some point the fog will lift and her thinking will straighten itself out. In any case, she is almost totally disregarding whatever I do say anyway, so… I’m saving my breath.
It’s not bothering me, because I understand our charts are impacted differently by the current skies. And this is one of the biggest gifts astrology has been to me. Without the astro knowledge and understanding, in the past I would have engaged her and tried to ‘straighten matters out’. Now? Just letting it roll and riding the wave!
Oh god Elsa you have no idea how right you are on this topic in regards to my life right now. It’s a war zone kept in secret code undercover like. I can’t tell you the players or the rules and it is driving my mercury heavy chart up the wall!
Considering I read “ISB MERCVIRUS” on your pic up there, I totally get what you’re talking about
Thus far, with Mercury in Pisces, I have come across weather information that wasn’t 100% accurate, slight transportation delays…
I have noticed something very interesting during Pisces transits. It’s a time when I’m a bit more sensitive and worried, but I now recognize that the real meaning of transcending is to have faith that things can somehow work out. I still have to conduct Saturn conjunct Pluto perseverance, but I have to believe that things will work out in my favor tremendously…
I think the 2013 stelliums are a good thing because they really show front and center how to deal with the raw energy of a particular sign. I know I didn’t handle the Uranus in Pisces transit very well, but hopefully I can handle Neptune and Pluto in Pisces better in the future.
Just did another intervention of confused info that caused pain.
It might be a good idea to assume the best of someone right now, rather than the worst.
I had ‘E News’ on last night for a few minutes. I was looking/listening to Giuliana and Ryan and I swear I had to change the channel. If the theory of life is an illusion hit home, it was while watching it. It just hit me hard how fake hollywood is, how silly hearing actor gossip is. I flipped to CNN international, and some billionaire is donating to send a couple to Mars for exploration (2018) my only thought was ”people are starving, and you want to spend X amount on a Mars trip?”
I guess his stellim is in his house of money opposing his house of common sense.
OMG. I just sent a long comment. It poofed into Neptunian air!
*throws hands up*
No mood to retype. Oh, those comments about your book, so Merc R causes rudeness as well?
Oh Elsa I am so happy you said that.You possibly just saved me from so much grief,thank you!!
Mercury Retro Elsa? I actually questioned whether I hit the comment button.
Thank you
I had born the brunt of this transit a week before it started, I believe on Feb 14, a teacher made a nasty comment toward me but my peers, friends,and family supported me and I felt better. Anyhow I still have to talk with the poor dean about it because I don’t want him to go empty handed and think he can blurb anything out in class like however he wants, its not his house in that classroom. He has to be professional and I am going to get that across to her. Basically he demeaned me and said I looked like a man but indirectly stated it and then he made this anti feminist remark , what an idiot. Well I’m still going to take care of it tomorrow or next monday , haven’t had time to talk to the dean. She knows though. Yeah I would say to those people who are getting people nasty on them don’t let them go easy, just teach them a lesson without being vindictive because it might happen to someone else again. History repeats itself and so do people’s patterns. I learned to not put up with a non professional, idiotic teacher. So anyway, I totally agree with Dark Aquarius statement to not take everything so blindly around you because it wises you up and guards you so to speak. I am usually so trusting but its not that good.
And Elsa, I hope that person doesn’t know you know you because I get the sense he or she is jealous , to try and demean your work.. Either that or he or she doesn’t know how to love or get along with people in general. Sorry but if I heard that from someone I’d think what the hell is wrong with you , you should be happy for me?!
fixing stuff constantly because everything is messed up. shit keeps breaking and i’m not keeping up.
my virgo is very cranky. would also explain the wee virgo’s moodiness…
I spent three hours complaining with my boyfriend about why I believe in astrology and science at the same time. His analytical Virgo sun and Virgo moon was debating astrology and its falsehood for three hours. I had to check out of the conversation. I feel so frustrated. Mercury please move normal. This little Virgo feels like her head is going to explode
Mars in Pisces is super passive-aggressive and that energy is really confusing to everyone right now. You are so right (as always)that people are purposely skewing facts, or intentionally being vague, because during this period (Pisces stellium) they can get away with it. It won’t last and it will catch up with them but it does really can do harm to those people who like to believe the best in everyone.
Can’t wait to purchase, read and recommend any book by you! I bet those obviously jealousy driven comments will only serve to give you more drive and material for your writing.
