Mercury joins the Sun, Neptune and Venus in the Pisces jacuzzi. This is quite a switch for Mercury who is leaving his extended stay in cool, collected and cerebral Aquarius to now speak of feelings, dreams and imaginative speculation.

Thanks to the revival of traditional forms of astrology alongside more accessible reprints of the Picatrix and Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy, these practices are once again entering the astrological arena.
