First Mercury retrograde of 2026 begins February 26, in Pisces
Do you know how valuable you are, Pisces? As the zodiac’s sign of sacrifice, you’re prone to underestimating your worth, which can leave you saddled with responsibilities that belong on someone else’s to-do list, like taking on extra emotional labor, covering for a coworker or saying yes when you’re already stretched thin.
You’ll get a chance to assess and recalibrate starting February 26, when interactive Mercury flips into its first retrograde of the year. This Mercury retrograde may hit you harder than most since it will happen in Pisces, putting you in the hotseat until it corrects course on March 20.
Mercury retrograde can foil communication, technology and travel, so tread lightly in these areas. Prepare to be wildly misunderstood at moments, as if people hear only half of what you’re saying or project their own meanings onto your words. Hold off on any major announcements or unveilings until this cycle ends.
With Mercury gone rogue in your highly visible first house, this might be a time for a “silent meditation” approach to life: less explaining, fewer justifications, more observing. Hey, it’s only three weeks, and the conversations you have with your inner voice will be rich and filled with epiphanies that will be far longer lasting. The first house rules appearances, so delay any radical changes to yours. Sure that new shag-style pixie (given the unfortunate moniker “shixie”) might look cute on a model but could end up being your greatest retrograde regret.
A solo project might need extra attention, so use this time to polish and refine your final touches. Heck, you might just want to keep your head down for the rest of the month. Don't you have some pre-spring cleaning to finish or a pitch deck to design, Fish? Don't think; just do it!
