Mercury in Pisces is traditionally read as grasping things through intuition and images, imaginative and empathic, suited to poetry, music and story. Pisces is Mercury's detriment and fall.
Dignity
Traditional astrology rates how comfortably each planet works in each sign (essential dignity). For Mercury, Pisces is fall: opposite its exaltation, traditionally needing more effort to express.
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish)
Jyotish calls Pisces Meena. Because it divides the zodiac by the stars (sidereal), a Western Mercury at Pisces 0° to about 24° is in Aquarius (Kumbha) in Jyotish. Reading both systems side by side shows different sides of the same person.
