Your Weekly Horoscope, February 22-28, 2026: Challenging Authority
"This week, the cosmos brings themes that seem opposing yet are quite complementary. Surrender and choice. Knowing and remembering. Realignment and empowerment. With our first Mercury retrograde of the year, Mars square Uranus, as well as the Sun, North Node, Mercury and Venus coming together in conjunctions, there is a sense of reviewing, releasing, and challenging yourself and your previously held beliefs."
"This retrograde takes a gentler approach than the usual technology breakdowns and schedule delays typically attributed with Mercury. It brings a sense of acceptance for the purpose of releasing what is no longer ours, including whatever sits like debris in our minds and stifles our openness to thoughts, imagination, possibility, and ideas. It is a review of the psychic build up both conscious and unconscious keeping us from trust, empathy, fluidity, and dreaming."
The week brings complementary themes of surrender and choice, knowing and remembering, realignment and empowerment amid major planetary shifts. Mercury begins retrograde in Pisces on February 25–26, activating intuition, dreams, inspiration, and the unconscious. Mercury's influence extends beyond logic to imaginal and psychic material that informs daily thinking and communication. The Pisces placement encourages a gentler retrograde focused on acceptance and releasing mental debris that blocks trust, empathy, fluidity, and dreaming. The retrograde prompts a review of conscious and unconscious psychic buildup and a return to abandoned dreams, asking whether they truly belong to the past. Concurrent Mars–Uranus tensions and multiple conjunctions intensify realignment and challenge long-held beliefs.
