Pisces in Mercury

I'm a fish sun and in mercury, and I find that I'm trash at communicating. I often catch myself thinking about something I should have said after the fact, but only because it would have helped explain what I was saying. It seems like I often times assume the other knows what I'm talking about and so nuance can sometimes get left by the wayside. Any others experience this?

Also, when it comes to heavy topics - I'm not at all receptive. I don't deal well with people muddying my pool, and tend to disappear in these circumstances. Curious to hear from others cursed with this affliction.

Chalk it up to the dreaminess of Neptune.

Nebulous Neptune

Same same. I can never stay on track and end up talking about one thing, loosing my train of thought, and then getting way off topic.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Here's to all of us confounding those people in our lives. Why keep it simple, when through the power of bad communication, we can make the easy; hard, the uncomplex; difficult, and an ordinary, pedestrian life into a spanish soap opera. Yeah!

The Gem likes to tell me, give me the baby not the birth pains.

aka get to the point

Im also pisces sun and pisces mercury. I find i confuse people, alot.

Give thanks that you’re not a Mercury in Taurus.

They talk like molasses, sloths.

Whew chile

But I feel where you’re coming from. Stick to storytelling. That’s your magic

"Also, when it comes to heavy topics - I'm not at all receptive. I don't deal well with people muddying my pool, and tend to disappear in these circumstances."

This stood out to me.

Aren't you curious about what and why people think differently from you?

Why would their opinion and perception of things be a threat to yours instead of expanding it?

I just don't like emotions. For a fish, I'm mostly air and fire. I don't care much to talk about mine, and don't really do the heart-to-heart hallmark sort of thing.

sometimes pisces energy sounds so woke.

but sometimes it's so self-unaware and hypocritical. ohh to use some ethos in an argument yet claim not to subscribe to any one of them then the same breath become indignant over concepts such as loyalties. and dare i say, often easily judgmental. not even over petty things like say ugly shoes or not using coasters but to judge someone's soul on the basis of who they are when they're at their worst. i find in these moments, any other sign to be kinder/more compassionate.

it's all how you frame it. "Curiosity" mindset works. Its a exchange of information.

No emotions needed.

Air: intellectual - Talking

With. Fire🔥 shit talking lol

Learning to let things out in someone way helps keeps your emotions in check.

I guess that's the trick maybe. It's not always easy to stay in that rational mindset, especially when dealing with heavy topics or in the right context. But that's also just me on some level, there's just some things I tend to avoid. 💁‍♂️

It sounds like you have history with a fish and it didnt end well? I don't disagree with anything you said btw.

You could improve by finding out what the real issue is, which is not your Mercury.

Are you being distracted when having a conversation with someone? Try to stand still or sit down, look at the person and focus on the topic.

Speak slowly and with conviction, use facial expressions. If you start in a rush and then pause for a breath, people will assume you finished your point and start talking themselves. Then you'll be left with imagining the conversation you could have had, if only....

Summarise what you want to say first, and then add the details later. In this way the most important point you want to make will not be missed.

If the conversation gets "heavy", try to learn a new thing or two from it, or change the subject, if it's uncomfortable. Find some topics you could research and talk about.

A fellow introvert was actually planning his topics and even practicing them a little before meeting up with people. Wouldn't be better to do this, instead of "practicing" them in your head after the boat has sailed?

I've been there myself. It takes some getting use to and time to balancing self expression vs. others'. Especially if you suppressed yourself for a long time out of habit like myself.

It's like learning a new skill honestly. Totally worth the effort though. Shit is so much easier with people and I don't have problems with anyone I don't want to.

Seriously refreshing and freeing not having to hold everything in. From pressure cooker to simmering pot.

Give it a shot. Go slow and pay attention to yourself. Start with curiosity mindset, since your focus is divided your unlikely to get to wrapped in your own emotions.

You will thank me and yourself later.

Couple really good posts in here that I will give a thoughtful reply to once I'm a little more settled.

The user who posted this message has hidden it.

This was a good post, sorry I wasn't able to reply sooner. Although I did say I tend to avoid heavy stuff lmao

I think it's just the right space. But really, I'm not so much a basket-case as this post would have you believe. Like I don't have any deep, brooding emotions or something. It's just that I express myself more through physicality, excluding violence, than words. That said, I know how much that has sometimes frustrated a couple of my ex's.

A mercury in Libra can twist the Pisces mercury into a more measured reality.

Pisces seem to need to be brought down to earth regularly. They're like intelligent babies who need reality checks to proceed otherwise they become miserable and lost.

Essentially, they need mentors.

Honestly I probably do need to finish fully considering something before speaking on it. I mean it's not that doesn't already happen, but sometimes I'm kind of also just processing something aloud. For this reason, I find texting is so much more convenient than a phone call, because I can consider what I want to say beforehand. I think that with heavier topics, if you boil it right down, I just don't like being in a vulnerable position. I'm not sure that anyone really does, but I think its partly it for me.
