Retrograde in Pisces: going within

Published on 28 February 2026 at 13:44

   Ah, retrograde. A time of miscommunications, malfunctioning technology and exes crawling out of the woodwork. 3 weeks where nothing wants to go right, or so it seems.

   Mercury retrograde gets a bad rap. I'll be the first to admit that I've contributed to the stigma as I've watched my own personal life go up in flames during this time. 

   But what if we're looking at it all wrong?  Mercury retrograde tells us to hold off on important decisions, read and re-read paperwork and contracts, close doors that should be shut and be extra mindful of our speech. When we rush through things or loosen up our boundaries (like letting that ex friend or lover back in our lives) we are opening the door for chaos. Babes, it doesn't have to be that way.

   This retrograde rests in the sign of Pisces, making it an extra emotional one. This is  also an excellent time to go inward and realign. 

   Now is the time to look at old wounds and baggage and let go of that which no longer serves. This is an opportune moment to practice the art of protecting your energy and establishing boundaries. There is no need to feel apprehensive about mercury retrograde- instead use it as a reminder to slow down long enough to let life catch up to you, prioritize yourself and your well being, and allow yourself the time to ground, center and make mindful choices. You got this. Sending honey chamomile vibes to your nervous system. Definitely don't text your ex, though.
