The first Mercury retrograde of 2026 begins February 26: Watch for messy group dynamics
Oops! There’s one more transit jam-packed into the shortest month of the year, and this one could get more slippery than the ice on a sidewalk. Messenger Mercury begins its first retrograde of the year on February 26, skewing communications, technology and travel for us all.
In Pisces, your eleventh house of group activity, Mercury’s backspin could complicate collaborations. Guard against friction wherever you gather. A group thread could turn into political fights or places where decisions keep getting revisited. A shared project might stall because no one is clear on roles or next steps. Take command and mediate where you can to help restore order. But if everyone’s too spun out, step out of the fray and wait until Mercury turns direct (forward) on March 20.
Be mindful of what you post on social media or send off in a hasty email. The eleventh house rules technology, so your biggest communication gaffes could happen online, where scandalous posts aren't easily forgiven or forgotten. Receipts could haunt you so delete any prior posts that might not have aged well. A playful or vague remark could be taken the wrong way, or an old comment could resurface and be taken out of context.
It’s not all bad news, Taurus—quite the opposite! Long-lost friends could resurface, both online and IRL. Plan a reunion with old friends (the ones you actually WANT to see). Hop on video chat if you're far apart—and start researching flights for a proper visit, preferably after March 20 when Mercury turns direct!
