Venus Re-Enters Pisces & Mercury’s Negotiation Magic
Mercury Retrograde gets a bad rap, but today is proof that even in retrograde, Mercury can work in your favor, if you work with it. The reason I say this is that the Sun is conjunct Mercury in Aries, making this an incredible time to communicate what you need, pitch ideas, or spark negotiations that could lead to something bigger. The key? Preparation.
Mercury in Aries is fast-moving, impulsive, and direct, but because it’s retrograde, slow down enough to get your facts straight before you go in. If you’re selling goods, pitching a client, or setting terms, think of this moment as an ignition, an initial spark that can grow into something sustainable. The discussion may continue, but the confidence you show in what you’re asking for now will set the tone.
By tomorrow, Mercury will sextile Pluto at three degrees of Aquarius, sharpening our strategic minds. Conversations shift from immediate action to long-term impact. This is the time to refine plans, reassess finances, and look for smart ways to cut waste. That unexpected financial wiggle room you find, It might be a game changer for something you’ve been meaning to invest in. If you’ve been hesitating to reach out to an advisor, initiate that call. If you’ve been sitting on a decision, start mapping it out.
Then, the tides turn. On March 27th, when Venus retrograde re-enters Pisces, and suddenly, everything that’s been under review in love, business, and finances takes on a more fluid, emotional tone. This Venus retrograde isn’t just about reevaluating relationships, it’s about reshaping them into something that actually works for you.
That includes love, yes, but also the way you relate to money, self-worth, and long-term security. There’s no need to rush. Venus won’t go direct until April 12th, meaning decisions in love and finance will be much clearer then. For now, let yourself sit with what’s coming up, or ask the questions that have been on your mind for some time.
And then there’s a little shimmer. On March 27th, Venus retrograde is conjunct Neptune at 29 degrees of Pisces. It’s dreamy, intoxicating, and full of possibility. If you’re in a relationship, this is a gorgeous time to revel in connection, soft lighting, shared secrets, and a kind of romance that feels cinematic. If you’re single, this moment is about celebrating the love that’s already in your life and getting honest about what you actually want next. Venus-Neptune can create illusion, so while everything looks glittering on the surface, the real magic is in the clarity beneath it.
Because here’s the truth: Venus retrograde isn’t just about facing reality. It’s about refining relationships, whether with others or with yourself, so they serve you better. It’s about having the conversations that shift dynamics in ways that feel right. And sometimes, those conversations are with yourself.
