🚧 Mercury retrograde starts this Thursday… are you ready?!

Mercury is more commonly talked about when it comes to retrogrades, however— all planets in our solar system turn retrograde at some point! 👀

💫 When a planet is “retrograde,” it means that it’s lapping the Earth in its journey around the Sun! This makes the planet appear to be moving backwards in the sky, and is a time when its energy isn’t as strong— operating in a more subdued, inverted way. We then face reflection, introspection, and potential challenges when it comes to that planet’s themes.

🌌 Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: A Cosmic Pause for Reflection

Mercury Retrograde is back, and this time it drifts through the deeply intuitive waters of Pisces, starting February 26, 2026, and ending March 20, 2026. If you’ve felt Mercury’s dance before, you know the rules: technology hiccups, communication snags, travel delays, and misread intentions. But in Pisces? This retrograde isn’t just about missed emails — it’s a spiritual, emotional, and psychic recalibration.

🌊 The Pisces Influence

Pisces is the dreamy, mystical, and deeply sensitive sign of intuition, compassion, and imagination. When Mercury moves backward in Pisces, it blurs lines between logic and feeling, past and present, reality and dream. Think of it as a cosmic fog lifting some old memories and emotional patterns — not to trap you, but to guide you to clarity.

During this retrograde, you may notice:

• Vivid or symbolic dreams

• Emotional echoes from the past

• Misunderstandings that aren’t just about words but feelings

• Spiritual nudges asking you to slow down and reflect

This is not a time to force answers or rush decisions. It’s a time to listen, feel, and intuit, rather than act impulsively.
