Mercury: low ebb
Unspoken meaning comes through clearly while literal details are easier to miss. Delay complicated paperwork and use the receptive mood for writing, art, or listening closely to what a conversation leaves unsaid.
In detail
Mercury: low ebb is the transit formed when Mercury occupies Pisces, its fall; it lasts from ingress to egress, normally about 30 days at roughly one degree per day, though retrograde motion may restore the condition intermittently. Mercury requires clear distinctions and exact naming, while Pisces lets information move through images, implication, and association, improving sensitivity to subtext but weakening certainty in documents and figures. Away game also includes Sagittarius; low ebb specifically marks Mercury's compounded weakness in Pisces.
