Scorpio Weekly Horoscope | February 23rd – March 1st, 2026
The Mars/Uranus square on February 27th is going to make you feel like a loose cannon firing off charges in all directions. Your problem stems from racing to the rescue of someone in trouble. Being a loyal Scorpio, you tried to help this person out but now find yourself being blamed for making matters worse. Never the self-sacrificing type, you’ll probably wind up giving this person a piece of your mind along with everyone else involved in the debacle. The scene won’t be pretty, but people will get over it. In the future, let this serve as a reminder that no good deed goes unpunished.

Second thoughts are nothing new when Mercury retrogrades past Venus on March 28th. You’ll likely experience a case of cold feet, but instead of pushing ahead, it might be better to take things slow. You don’t want to force yourself — or the other person — to commit to anything when you’re feeling ambivalent. Try an upfront, candid talk. For instance, if you’re lovers, you may realize that you’re better off as friends, or if you’re friends you may be ready to explore being lovers. In any case, love is love when Mercury conjoins Venus, so rest assured that everything will work out for the best.

Mercury retrograde in your opposite sign is always a befuddling time for you. Not only are you off your game, but your judgment is questionable. Are you familiar with that warning label on certain medications that advises against operating heavy machinery if you take them? This same advice holds true for making important decisions now, finalizing big purchases, or annexing Greenland. You’ll have quite a time of it between the Lunar Eclipse on March 4th and the new moon in Pisces on March 18th, but if you play it safe then you should emerge from all this unscathed when Mercury resumes direction on March 20th.

Leos don’t like conflict. One wouldn’t know that because of the way you puff up your chest and roar like a lion when feeling insecure; however, if the opposition is committed to escalating tensions, then you’ll look for a way to appease them. But not on February 27th. This is when Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. Mars in your opposite sign brings the fight to you no matter where you are — leaving you with no choice but to engage in it. It took a while, but it looks like you’ll finally be making the stand that you should have made all along.

It looks like coloring inside the lines is beginning to pay off when you see that you’ve earned the trust of co-workers, clients, and even your boss on February 24th. This will be especially important in the days leading up to next week’s lunar eclipse as the atmosphere at work grows more volatile. Change is in the air and everyone feels it, which is why you’ll want to maintain a low profile as foolhardy competitors overplay their hands. In fact, your respectability may well rise with each misstep they make. This could put you in a prime position to ask for the Moon on March 5th.

Beware of false starts and equally premature endings when Ruling Planet Mercury turns retrograde in the zodiac sign of Pisces on February 26th. You may think you’re out of the woods, but that’s wishful thinking. Mercury retrogrades are famous for tossing monkey wrenches into best-laid plans, but they can also bring unforeseen opportunities if you keep an eye out for them. Traveling back over recently covered terrain may reveal something you overlooked before, or being forced to shoulder an obligation again may prove to be the very bane that turns into a boon. Who knows? You will when Mercury comes out of retrograde on March 20th.

Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus on February 27th. This is the last time you’ll experience a square like this for 84 years. What a relief! But as you can imagine, Uranus promises one more surprise upset before it leaves the sign of the bull on April 25th. Your first reaction will be to try to salvage what’s collapsing, but you’d be wise to step back and allow the Uranian energy to play out. It’s bigger than you, and if you’ve learned anything about Uranus over the years, it’s that you won’t know what’s what until the dust settles — which should be around March 10th.

You have a natural respect for authority. Many people wax poetic about what they’d do if they were in the driver’s seat, but they often lack the nerve for leadership. This is why you support those in charge because responsibility is a heavy burden to bear. That said, it’s glaringly obvious that a certain supervisor is out of their depth. Moreover, they’ve become a huge problem that the chain of command doesn’t want to acknowledge, which means it’s up to you to do something about it on February 27th. You don’t relish leading the charge for change, but you’ll do it if nobody else will.

You may think that everything’s been signed, sealed, and delivered, but retrograde Mercury says you have another thing coming. You need to ask yourself questions like: Did the other party actually sign? Did you seal the deal or just talk about it? And when it comes to things being delivered — are you actually holding said object in your hands? Aims and designs have a tendency to slip like water through your fingers when Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, so it would be a good idea to bird-dog all sales, pitches, and enterprises. Don’t take anything on faith, don’t accept people’s word because they say so, and don’t hope for the best without having done something about it or you will be greatly disappointed. In fact, the more on top of facts you are — and that includes holding on to all emails, texts, and voice messages — the more in command of the situation you’ll be. Mercury will be retrograde from February 26th to March 20th.

You have an extraordinary ability to speak to people’s hearts, minds, and souls when Mercury forms a trine to your Ruling Planet Jupiter on February 16th. This can be good if your motives are pure — that is, restorative, healing, and rehabilitative — because you will turn hopeless situations into hopeful ones. However, if you use this energy to manipulate people’s psychologies — like telling them what they should feel or using their secrets to bring them to heel — then the energy will turn against you. There’s always a moral obligation to do good when Mercury and Jupiter join forces. It’s all about bringing on the higher love.

A Solar Eclipse in your sign closes a door while opening a window of opportunity somewhere else. You probably understand how this is a good thing theoretically, but in truth you would have preferred it if said door had remained open because now you have to go searching for something you didn’t really seek or want. Thankfully, the eclipse in Aquarius will be followed by a Saturn/Neptune conjunction in Aries on the 20th. This means that there really is a higher intelligence at work. Deciphering what that is, however, and what that means for you will be your main focus in the months to come.

The thing they don’t tell you about Capricorns is that they’re closet optimists. Behind that curmudgeonly exterior lies the heart of a romantic. Yet the only thing more frightening to the children of Saturn is to see that romance quashed, which is why they keep this part of themselves sequestered. The Saturn/Neptune conjunction on February 20th will make the case that keeping your hopes and dreams under lock and key won’t protect you from life’s disappointments. If anything, it stifles them. It’s time to give hopes and dreams free rein in your life. It’s the only way for you to see how resilient they can be.
