Mercury begins its first retrograde of 2026 on Thursday
Don’t say you weren’t warned. Back up all your important data, switch to stronger passwords and submit any lingering paperwork now! Mercury turns retrograde for the first time this year on February 26, backtracking through Pisces until March 20. In the Fish’s kaleidoscopic waters, things aren’t always as they appear. Brace for crossed wires, false starts and missing details. Take nothing at face value, not even people’s enthusiastic promises or cheerful nods of approval. If you really want to know what someone’s thinking, you’ll probably have to ask them outright. Even then, expect a little vagueness or mixed signals. When in doubt, slow down, clarify and keep your sense of humor handy. It’ll help you navigate these murky waters with minimal stress.
Hotheads Mars and Uranus clash and cause disruptions
Good luck keeping the peace with anyone who pushes your buttons on Friday, February 27. Combative Mars crashes into a complicated square with combustible Uranus, and all hell could break loose. With both planets in stubborn fixed signs—Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus—tempers flare as egos and ideologies butt heads. If you’ve been a little too agreeable, this dustup can push you to your breaking point. Most people won’t be willing to bend on their principles or “take one for the team.” If you’re feeling too heated to hash things out diplomatically, steer clear of situations that are potential powder kegs. This might be a better moment for privately clarifying your anger rather than attempting to hold a summit between warring factions.
Get a glimpse of a better future: Sun and North Node sync up
Your destiny comes alive in 5D on Friday, February 27, as the Sun aligns with the north node of destiny in boundless Pisces. You may catch a glimpse of yourself as bigger, braver or more capable than you’ve dared to imagine. The truth? That can feel both thrilling and intimidating. Watch for imposter syndrome creeping in. There’s no honor in hiding your light or shrinking your dreams to make others comfortable. Pisces energy reminds you that your vision matters, even if it’s still taking shape. Take a step toward that bigger version of yourself. Share an idea, say yes to an opportunity or simply allow yourself to believe that you’re ready for this next chapter.
