Mercury Retrograde Starts This Week (But It's Not What You Think)

Can I ask you something? Have you had any major revelations this past week? Like, the kind that stop you in your tracks and make you realize everything just changed?

Because I've had a few. Actual life game + changing realizations and happenings that I will share with you about soon.  The kind where you can feel your reality shifting beneath your feet, and you're not sure if you're falling or flying.

I know I've been writing about all the shifts coming... but wow, when they start actually happening it's quite surreal.  I'm in that moment right now. Life for us has totally changed into a new direction. 

And loves here's the thing... if you've been feeling that to, these sudden changes, unexpected clarity, things ending or beginning without warning and quickly... you're not imagining it.

You're not alone.

 And there's a very real reason why.

Mercury retrograde starts this week, and it's merging with the Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd. This is big, mystical, creative energy and it's not something to be scared or worried about...  Because it's not what you think.

Think of the word RE-trograde. The word signals that this is a time to RE-start, RE-evaluate, RE-develop, RE-ward ourselves and our lives.  Yes, things slow down, but they slow down so we can integrate, so we can rebuild and shift directions if that's what we are being called to do.   

I know things will feel like they are falling apart during the retrograde... but it's not about things falling apart. It's about things coming back together in a BRAND new way.

Let me show you how to use it.

What's Happening This Week

On February 26th, this Thursday... Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces for about a month.

Pisces is the sign of endings, culminations, secrets, spirituality, and dreams. Something mystical or something in general is coming to an end or culminating for you during this retrograde.

This Mercury retrograde is especially important because it's merging with the Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd.

So pause.

Reflect on the impact that any shifts happening around you, and what they mean to you in your life. Have those deep conversations. Mercury loves to connect through words and ideas.

You're also super creative during this Mercury retrograde in Pisces. Allow your imagination to flow over these next three weeks.

Also, the key thing during this entire thing is orienting ourselves to go inwards. Everything about the world right now is loud, our 5 senses are being pulled outwards and it's hectic. 

The retrograde is a beautiful opportunity to build a consistent meditation practise.  Keep going inward during this time to allow what's supposed to happen, happen! 

You've heard of that saying, most of the time we just need to get OUT of our own way... this is the exact time to do that.   Step aside, slow down, go within!

February 27th - Friday: Mars square Uranus. This is fiery, powerful, activating energy. Mars is action, drive, sensuality, and energy. Uranus brings surprises and liberation. This can unleash a lot of pent-up energy.

Guard against communicating with anger or impatience. Move your body. Take a risk. Be adventurous. Release this energy intentionally. Prepare for surprising developments and embrace the unusual.

February 28th - Saturday: Mercury conjuncts Venus. This calms the energy down. This is loving communication. You'll appreciate others with your words. You'll feel artistic and creative. Venus and Mercury together enhance social interaction—and when Mercury's retrograde in Pisces, it's very deep spiritual interaction.

Show appreciation through gratitude, generosity, and giving. Spend time listening to and participating in the arts.

How to Navigate This Energy:

This is a big week with very creative, very loving energy. It's an invitation to explore your divine feminine side to offset some of the strong activating masculine energy and bring them into balance.

Embrace the unusual. Roll with it. Let your imagination lead. Have the deep conversations. Move your body. Create space for the mystical to come through.

And remember: this is the last Mercury retrograde of the year. After this, we're clear for the rest of 2026.

With love and light,

Myrah
