The first Mercury retrograde of 2026 begins February 26
Watch your words! Silver-tongued Mercury turns retrograde on February 26, backing up through Pisces, your intense, incisive eighth house. You’re the sign most likely to SPEAK IN ALL CAPS, but any embellishment and dramatic effect may backfire on you until Mercury corrects on March 20, especially if you overshare, exaggerate or spout off before all the facts settle.
Travel plans or bold entrepreneurial moves could hit some snags, forcing you to change your timelines during this first Mercury retrograde of 2026, like a launch date that keeps sliding or a deal that suddenly needs reworking. Expect to explain yourself over and over again. If possible, hold off on any big debuts.
Be careful about signing any binding contracts, too, particularly those involving shared finances or long-term obligations. If you're heading out of town, take extra precautions: Make sure your passport is up to date, triple-confirm reservations and leave early for flights, even small missteps could snowball into major delays.
With Mercury slipping back through Pisces and your intense eighth house of sex, emotional entanglements and intimacy, an old flame or frenemy could reappear on the scene, or shared finances could get fraught, from confusing bills to disagreements over who owes what. Guard against identity theft and change your passwords. Think twice before sending that racy photo or spicy text. With mischievous Mercury at the wheel, you could accidentally send that boudoir shot to your boss instead of your beau. Um, oops!
