Mercury will transit its debilitation* sign of Pisces from February 24th, 2019 until March 15th, 2019. Then again from April 11th, 2019 until May 3rd, 2019. Mercury will go retrograde and return back to the sign of Aquarius from March 15th, 2019 until April 11th, 2019.

Venus will transit the sign of Capricorn from February 24th, 2019 until March 21st, 2019.
*The planets are in the state of debilitation in particular signs, and therefore weak, failing to fully protect/promote their general and particular significations. For the Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, and Pisces rising sign it would be good to strengthen Mercury during this time with dark green clothing or an emerald gemstone.
The following information provides an overview of the impact of Mercury in Pisces and Venus in Capricorn for each rising sign (as per Vedic Astrology), and is not based on the Sun sign as used in Western Astrology.
Additional information can be provided by overlaying the transits of the planets on your individual horoscope.
