Pisces Weekly Horoscope | February 23rd – March 1st, 2026
There’s nothing wrong with thinking better of it. It’s a Pisces prerogative. Besides, it’s probably a good idea given that Mercury, planet of the mind, will be turning retrograde in your zodiac sign on February 26th. This is when certain apprehensions resurface, causing you to stop dead in your tracks. Not only will you be haunted by feelings of something being off, but you’ll receive strong prompts to reverse course or do an about-face. And you would be wise to follow them. It may not make sense in the moment, but trust that all will be revealed after the lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd.

Mars square Uranus on February 27th shows you taking yet another wild spin on the Wheel of Fortune. What was up is down and what was down is now up, and it’s anyone’s guess as to how the whole thing will play out. Yet there is a greater design at work behind all of this if you’re willing to buy a vowel and gain some insight. What looked radical and too “out there” weeks ago now seems infinitely doable. Things aren’t as impossible as they once were; if anything, their time has come. This requires you to revisit some of those decisions you made recently.

Say goodbye to the things that are leaving your life and wish them well. These may be people, places, or familiar situations. Part of you may feel panicky about the exodus, but if you think about it you’ll soon see that this is long overdue. There’s no way you’ll set your sights higher if your nose remains pressed to the grindstone any more than you’ll embrace new friends and opportunities by sticking with the same old, same old. Follow the current of events wherever it leads. You won’t wind up where you expected to go, but you’ll definitely arrive at where you need to be.

Go back the way you came while you still can. We’ve all experienced taking a wrong turn somewhere, thinking that we’ll eventually see where we’re going once we round the next bend, but that doesn’t appear to be the case with you. If anything, you appear to be getting more lost. Whether it was a bad decision, an ill-advised course of action, or a judgment call made in the heat of the moment, Mercury turning retrograde on February 26th signals that it’s time to backpedal. It may feel frustrating, but that’s nothing compared to what lies in store if you continue on your current path.

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.
