In Pisces
Mercury in Pisces is the porous border of image and unnamed feeling. Retrograde in this sign is traditionally a filter: art and rest, so the story does not dissolve.
What “retrograde” means here
From Earth, Mercury’s apparent motion along the ecliptic sometimes slows, stops, and runs backward for about three weeks. The engine calls a station the instant that apparent longitude speed crosses zero. This is an astronomical fact. It is not a verdict on your week.
