On Wednesday, February 28th, the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn all come together in a conjunction in Pisces.
Pisces is a sign about dreams, emotion, and imagination. When planets meet up in the sign of Pisces, they must carry out the Piscean mission- to imagine a more beautiful world.
Pisces wants the most ideal, most perfect, most glamorous situation, which can sometimes mean not accepting things as they really are.
When any planets come into a conjunction with the Sun, something about those planet’s significations becomes illuminated. In this case, we gain insights around Mercury and Saturn themes.
Mercury is a planet about the mind and communications. Saturn represents boundaries as well as what we are committed to- and any difficulties we must overcome or succumb to.
With this triple pairing, we may be arriving at a new understanding around what our natural limits are, what we want to commit to, and how to communicate all of it- in a very Piscean fashion.
What vision is worth the heavy lifting of showing up every day?
What ideal do you long for that will take time and work?
When we listen to the fine-tuning of ourselves and what we naturally want to birth into the world, we automate a container through which to achieve these things.
Thus, this transit can help in having mental clarity around what you want to dedicate yourself to.

You may have conversations with others around boundaries, commitments, responsibilities, and limits- perhaps in a relationship, with a friend or family member, or maybe at work.
Maybe you’re having to come to terms with the reality of a situation, accepting what IS rather than what you want something (or someone) to be.
Sometimes the Astrology reflects things that happen to us, outside of our sphere of influence. Perhaps you receive news that is weighty, serious, or that requires careful consideration. Or maybe you’re given feedback that feels harsh or mean.
Saturn also represents restraint, fear, loss, death, and rejection. This could be an opportunity to recognize beliefs and stories we tell ourselves that weigh us down.
We may learn about the ways we protect ourselves against rejection and loss, or ways that we are driven by fear.
People-pleasing is one way we protect ourselves from loss. If I can manipulate and control another person in whether they like me or not, I can guarantee I won’t be rejected or lose the relationship.
Co-dependence (a quality Pisces can struggle with) is also a response to the fear of loss… “if only this person was better in these ways, I would be ok” or “I need this person to be ok so that I can be ok & feel good”.
Covert control is one way we protect ourselves against loss, but it reflects more of the potential we see in others rather than the reality of who they are right now.
Pisces is great at seeing what could be and therefore can struggle with self-deception, which in turn can create feelings of anger and bitterness of being let down or disappointed.
Saturn, Mercury, and the Sun coming together can help us see ourselves, others, and the world more clearly. While that could feel like a disappointment, being grounded in what’s solid, real, & honest is the way we can achieve the real fantasy that Pisces longs for.
