ENERGIES FEBRUARY 25 – MARCH 1, 2026✨🌌💎
MERCURY RETROGRADE, MARS SQUARE URANUS
We stand between two gateways, the recent Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and the upcoming Lunar Eclipse in Virgo.
This is a liminal week, a threshold space, that awakens us internally and repositions us on our path.
With the first Mercury retrograde of the year, the Mars–Uranus square, and a sequence of conjunctions in Pisces unfolding over the coming days, the energy calls us into inner revision. We are asked to view everything that has been dismantled through the lens of the soul.
The aspects forming now function as mirrors. They reveal what has matured, what has been outgrown, and what is ready to shift.
✨🌌On Wednesday, February 25, the Moon reaches its First Quarter 🌓phase at 5°54’ Gemini♊ bringing mental alertness, information, conversations, messages, along with contradictions and internal pressure.
The First Quarter Moon always marks a point of action and inner decision. Yet with the Sun travelling through Pisces, immersed in emotion, intuition, and surrender, there may be a gap between what you believe and what you truly feel. Now may be the time to notice which thoughts no longer align with your inner truth. Where are you still speaking from outdated narratives, while inwardly you have already changed? Which old story requires conscious revision?
✨🌌On Thursday, February 26, Venus in Pisces forms a semi-square with Pluto in Aquarius at 19° Pisces – 4° Aquarius. Venus in Pisces longs to love unconditionally. Pluto in Aquarius allows no illusion. This creates an inevitable inner friction. Where the heart wants to forgive, the soul knows something must transform at its root. Relationships, finances, and personal values, especially where idealism has been present, are tested through an underlying truth that can no longer remain hidden.
On the same day, Mercury stations at 22° Pisces to begin its retrograde journey until March 20, reaching back to 8° Pisces. This will primarily affect the late second and early third decans of the mutable signs: Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces.
The station phase is always intense. Energy “freezes” before shifting direction. Information condenses. Events gain weight. With Mercury in Pisces, logic and linear thinking soften. Emotion, intuition, and the subconscious take precedence. Memories, dreams, unfinished conversations, and unfulfilled promises resurface for review. This period may offer second chances in love or in ideas but equally, it may bring forgiveness, closure, and conscious release.
This retrograde is less about external delays and more about inner recalibration. Unresolved emotional matters seek completion. Subconscious narratives, outdated beliefs, and unrealized ideas rise again for reassessment. In practical terms, avoid final decisions based solely on emotion, as the full picture may not yet be visible. However, this is an excellent time to revise agreements, rework creative projects, engage in therapeutic or artistic processes, and complete unfinished projects.
These days may radically shift your perspective. And when interpretation changes, direction changes as well!
✨🌌On Friday, February 27, the Sun conjuncts the North Node at 8° Pisces, an aspect of evolutionary significance.
The Sun represents identity, consciousness, and will. The North Node indicates the direction of personal and collective growth. Their alignment marks a moment of destiny awareness. This is the time to recognize what you are leaving behind and toward which direction you are being called.
In Pisces, the call is spiritual and nonlinear. You do not need to prove anything. You do not need to control every variable. In this area of your chart, you are asked simply to surrender, remember, and trust.
Simultaneously, the Sun forms a semi-square with Chiron in Aries, stirring inner discomfort around validation, autonomy, and the courage to stand in your individuality.
The Sabian Symbol of this degree, “A Jockey Riding in a Horse Race,” offers guidance. It speaks of speed and direction but also timing and alignment. Effort alone is not enough. Cooperation with the flow is required. Events or realizations during these days may shape your path decisively, asking for less control and greater attunement.
On the same day, the Mars–Uranus square peaks at 27° Aquarius–Taurus, activating the recent Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.
When Uranus is involved, events do not unfold linearly. They accelerate. They disrupt. They reveal what can no longer be sustained.
Mars in Aquarius acts with revolutionary and reformist intent. Uranus in Taurus shakes security, financial stability, habits, and material or emotional certainties.
This square creates tension between freedom and stability. What you have maintained out of habit may now be questioned through external events or through an inner decision that can no longer be postponed.
At 27°, this aspect speaks of culmination. Something has reached a threshold. Sudden ruptures, revelations, unexpected reactions, technological or financial disruptions, nervous tension, impulsive actions, even collective unrest, are possible manifestations.
The challenge is conscious management of intensity. Expressed unconsciously, this energy may break structures abruptly. Channelled consciously, it can liberate you from patterns that have restrained your evolution.
Because this square activates the eclipse degree, events now may connect to decisions made at that time. This is an awakening influence, destabilizing what is no longer viable in order to accelerate necessary realignment.
✨🌌On Saturday, February 28, retrograde Mercury conjuncts Venus at 22° Pisces, a deeply healing influence, provided you do not try to control or rationalize it.
This alignment brings heartfelt words, confessions, forgiveness, and release from what no longer serves. With Mercury retrograde, dreams speak louder, memories resurface, and unfinished conversations reopen. Someone from the past may return not to bind you, but to complete a cycle and allow emotional cleansing.
The Sabian Symbol for this degree, “Spiritualist Phenomena,” suggests mystical experiences that transcend ordinary reality. Intense intuitive moments, profound inner realizations, or a sense of soul connection beyond time may arise. Here, the past reemerges not to repeat itself but to transform into wisdom and restore something within you permanently.
✨🌌On Sunday, March 1, Mars enters Pisces♓ where it will remain until April 9. Action now becomes infused with imagination, inspiration, and spiritual intelligence. This transit strengthens the need to move through intuition and inner guidance rather than force.
Mars in Pisces opens pathways for creative solutions. It supports initiatives that merge personal vision with collective compassion. Decisions now require faith in the flow of life. Action becomes softer, more compassionate, more intuitive. You are invited to follow your inner compass and activate the strength of your soul.
This placement strongly influences the mutable signs, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius and supports water and earth signs in taking sensitive yet purposeful initiatives aligned with their deeper vision.
We are approaching a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, which will demand clarity.
These days, your heart may be cleansing itself of illusions.You are being prepared to see clearly what requires correction and what deserves preservation.
What cracks now does so because its cycle has completed. What returns does so to close, not to hold you back.
Every rupture and every return is an invitation to realign with your truth, reclaim your inner strength, and move forward with freedom, light, and trust into the next chapter of your life.
Blessed journey ahead!✨🌌💎🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
