Pisces season is officially in full swing, and this week it gets even louder!Â
The Sun, Mercury, and Venus are already in Pisces, and now Mars joins them. That is a full Pisces takeover. On top of that, Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, and it stays there the entire time. This is not light, breezy energy. This is emotional, intuitive, dream-heavy energy. You may feel inspired one minute and exhausted the next. That is normal.Â
The key this week is learning when to push forward and when to pull back. So let’s find out when you should do just that!
The week begins with the Moon moving into Gemini, which helps you think clearly before things get foggy. This is a good time to sketch out plans for the next few weeks, but keep them flexible. A quick shift may be required, especially with the Moon meeting Uranus. If something needs to change, make it a small, smart change you can handle in one sitting. You do not need to overhaul your life right now, especially on a Monday!
Then on Tuesday, the First Quarter Moon in Gemini arrives, and this one feels important. We are still in eclipse season territory, so adjustments now carry more weight. Plans may need editing. Ideas may need refining. You might even scrap one plan entirely and try another approach. That is not failure. That is strategy.Â
Plus, the Moon working with Pluto helps you dig deeper into a topic. Research something you care about. Ask better questions. Knowledge is power this week.
Midweek, the energy picks up slightly. The Gemini Moon connects with Mars in Aquarius, and that gives you a short burst of excitement. Use it. If you have something you have been meaning to start, begin now before Mercury retrograde slows things down. Progress does not have to be huge. Even one step counts.
Then Thursday shifts the mood fast. The Moon enters Cancer, and Mercury retrograde officially begins in Pisces. This retrograde is not about tech chaos or missed emails. It is emotional. It is subtle. It can feel draining if you ignore your needs. Old memories, old conversations, and old patterns may surface. Instead of running from them, listen. There is information there.Â
Try this reflection today: What am I ready to release emotionally, even if it feels uncomfortable?
As we move into Friday, tension rises. Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, and patience runs thin. You may feel tempted to make a sudden move just to shake things up. Be careful. This energy is powerful, but it needs direction. Channel it into something productive. Clean out a space. Fix something broken. Tackle a task that has been stuck. Action feels good, but reckless action does not.
By Saturday, the mood softens again. The Moon enters Leo, and you are reminded that joy still matters. Even during a heavy Pisces week, you are allowed to laugh, create, and have fun. Mercury retrograde meets Venus in Pisces, and this can bring a meaningful conversation back around. You might reopen a topic with someone or express something you could not say before. This is a second chance at clarity. Keep your heart open.
Sunday keeps the Leo Moon energy alive, which encourages you to focus on what lights you up. Try not to overthink today. Do something that feels warm and genuine.
Then Monday brings a noticeable shift. The Moon enters Virgo, which helps you bring order to the emotional swirl of the past few days. Structure feels comforting now. Make a list. Tidy your space. Rework your routine.
At the same time, Mars enters Pisces, joining the growing stellium. This adds energy to your inner world. You may feel more driven behind the scenes than out in public. You can make quiet progress if you respect your need for rest.
This week is not about charging ahead. It is about tuning in. With so much Pisces energy, your intuition is louder than usual.
On the other hand, Mercury retrograde asks you to slow down while Mars in Pisces asks you to move carefully. Long story short, if you balance action with reflection, you will come out of this week clearer, lighter, and more connected to what truly matters.

Moon
Moon Enters Cancer – Emotions can be strong over the next few days, likely thanks to the Mercury retrograde kicking off, so take care of yourself, nurture yourself, and support others.
Astrological Aspect
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces Begins – Mercury begins to move backward, and this retrograde period occurs entirely in Pisces. Mercury retrograde loves to throw things off, and in Pisces, it can be draining, and might make you feel like you need to get away from demanding people and situations sucking the life out of you. More rest can be good, but it’s likely something karmic is at play, and you have to work on releasing some karmic baggage or learning a karmic lesson. Once you do, you can feel a lot better and more connected to your intuitive self.
