This week asks for a softer grip and a sharper inner compass. With the Sun moving through Pisces, your focus turns toward value, worth, and what truly sustains you, not just financially but emotionally. The energy is reflective rather than rushed, and you will do best when you choose quality over speed. Think of these days as a recalibration where small choices shape big outcomes.
A major turning point arrives on February 26 when Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, inviting you to review spending habits, self talk, and the promises you make to yourself. Even if plans wobble, you are not being blocked, you are being redirected. As astrologer Hillary Coke told Vogue, this is a “reset” and a “course correction portal,” and Aquarius tends to thrive when life asks for an honest upgrade.
Love And Relationships
Love feels tender this week, but tenderness does not mean uncertainty. If you are coupled, the Pisces emphasis can bring up old themes around fairness, shared resources, and emotional labor. The key is to speak plainly while staying kind, especially around February 26 when misunderstandings can slip in through assumptions. Ask one direct question instead of building a story in your head, and you will save yourself hours of spiraling.
If you are single, attraction is less about flashy chemistry and more about trust and emotional safety. You may find yourself drawn to people who feel gentle but grounded, or to someone from the past who reappears with a softer approach. Mercury retrograde can reopen doors, but it also reveals why they closed, so keep your standards high and your expectations realistic. A message that arrives late or awkwardly can still be meaningful if it comes with accountability.
By February 28, Mercury retrograde sits close to Venus in Pisces, which can sweeten conversations and restore warmth where things have been tense. This is a beautiful window for apologies, reconnection, and affectionate clarity, as long as you do not promise forever in the heat of the moment. Aim for healing language rather than dramatic declarations. If you want romance to last, build it on consistency, not adrenaline.
Career And Finance
Your work life benefits from a steady review process rather than bold launches. With Pisces lighting up your money zone, focus on pricing, budgeting, and the systems that keep your output sustainable. February 23 and February 24 are strong for scanning details and catching leaks, like subscriptions you forgot, invoices that need nudging, or a project scope that quietly expanded. Small corrections now protect your energy later.
Be especially mindful of purchases and commitments after February 26, when Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces and the numbers can look fuzzier than they are. Double check dates, confirm totals, and keep receipts organized. If you are negotiating, slow down and ask for terms in writing, because the week rewards precision. NASA JPL Horizons style astronomy meets Aquarius practicality, which is your reminder that reality is measurable when you give it attention.
A spike of unpredictability hits on February 27 with Mars in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus, which can bring sudden expenses or a surprise change in priorities. You might feel tempted to rebel against a responsibility, but the smarter move is to innovate inside the structure you already have. If something breaks, treat it as data, not drama. Use the disruption to redesign a routine, streamline a process, or finally say no to work that undervalues you.
Your Power Moves For The Week
Your most powerful strategy is to choose one financial or personal value and align everything else to it. That could be stability, freedom, or growth, but pick one and let it guide decisions. When Mercury is retrograde, clarity comes from repetition, so return to your core priorities daily. If you feel scattered, simplify your calendar and your spending, then watch your confidence return.
On February 28, Mars enters Pisces, shifting your drive from public action to private motivation. This is excellent for focusing on what you want to build quietly, like savings goals, a skill upgrade, or a creative side project that can become income later. Your instincts sharpen when you slow down enough to hear them. People magazine astrologer Kyle Thomas often frames big lunations as turning points, and you can treat this week the same way by choosing intention over impulse.
One more thing, your words carry extra weight now, so speak like you mean it and only promise what you can sustain. Let your choices reflect self respect, and everything else will start to rearrange in your favor. Share your thoughts in the comments.
