This Week Astrology: Feb 22-Feb 28, 2026
A week of strategic adjustment, not impulsive action. Slow down, communicate clearly, and move with intention.
We are now fully in the corridor of eclipse season, a period that accelerates awareness and exposes what is no longer sustainable. The week begins under the waxing phase following last week’s Solar Eclipse, building toward Tuesday’s First Quarter Moon and then the Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 3. First Quarter Moons create productive tension between intention and action. Friction that surfaces now is useful. Adjustments made midweek prevent larger disruptions later.
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces as this momentum builds, slowing conversations and decision cycles just enough to refine thinking before the eclipse reset. The week opens with a supportive water trine between Venus in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer, offering emotional steadiness and relational goodwill that can buffer misunderstandings. Move deliberately, revisit assumptions, and keep communication grounded. For deeper context, explore the Solar Eclipse Horoscopes and Tarotscopes, or schedule a psychic-astrology reading to work intentionally with the coming reset.
On Sunday, the Moon moves through Taurus all day, reinforcing steadiness, patience, and a focus on tangible progress. Venus in Pisces trine Jupiter in Cancer adds emotional generosity and relational ease, making this one of the more supportive days for strengthening bonds and creating stability at home or within trusted partnerships. Grounded action paired with sincere connection builds momentum without forcing outcomes. Today’s best use: prioritize what creates lasting security, invest time in meaningful relationships, and take practical steps that support long-term stability.
The Moon remains in Taurus until 9:28pm ET on Monday, then shifts into Gemini, moving the tone from steady execution to conversation and recalibration. A Five day influence (2+3=5) can bring friction or competing priorities, especially if values are unclear or expectations are misaligned. The key is choosing your battles wisely and conserving energy for what truly matters rather than reacting out of stubbornness. Evening favors dialogue and perspective. Today’s best use: align decisions with core values, avoid unnecessary conflict, and communicate with flexibility once clarity is established.
The Moon moves through Gemini all day Tuesday as the First Quarter Moon brings constructive tension and forward movement. This lunar phase marks a turning point between intention and action, often surfacing obstacles that require adjustment rather than retreat. With Gemini active, progress comes through dialogue, flexibility, and gathering the right information before committing. Small refinements now prevent larger corrections later. Today’s best use: address challenges directly, talk through sticking points, and make practical adjustments that keep momentum moving forward.
The Moon remains in Gemini on Wednesday, keeping attention on messaging and logistics as Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces. This combination favors slowing down, revisiting assumptions, and refining language before committing to new directions. Insight increases when you pause rather than push, particularly around emotional conversations or creative decisions. Today’s best use: review plans carefully, correct misunderstandings early, and allow intuition to inform practical adjustments.
On Thursday, the Moon shifts into Cancer at 12:10am ET, turning attention toward home, emotional security, and foundational decisions. With Jupiter themes amplified, this can feel like a fortunate day for confident expansion, particularly when moves are rooted in emotional intelligence rather than ego. Big gestures carry weight when they are balanced and well-timed. Today’s best use: make strategic moves that strengthen your base, aim higher where growth feels supported, and lead with steady confidence.
The Moon moves through Cancer all day Friday as Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus and Mercury in Pisces conjuncts Venus in Pisces. Emotional undercurrents may run strong, especially where change feels disruptive or timing feels abrupt. Compassionate communication helps diffuse tension, but impulsive reactions could escalate matters quickly. Staying grounded while expressing feelings directly keeps situations constructive rather than combustible. Today’s best use: respond thoughtfully under pressure, speak with clarity and care, and avoid reacting from frustration.
On Saturday, The Moon enters Leo at 3:16am ET, shifting the tone from protective to expressive as the waxing lunar energy builds toward next week’s Virgo Lunar Eclipse. This is a productive day when strong creative drive is given structure and purpose. Channeling attention into a mission or visible project keeps enthusiasm constructive and prevents unnecessary drama. Today’s best use: focus energy on a defined creative goal, lead with confidence, and stay purposeful rather than reactive.
Have a Stellar week, everybody!
Strategic Recalibration: Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces this week, slowing communication, decision-making, and forward momentum just as eclipse season intensifies. In Pisces, this retrograde is less about technical glitches and more about perception. Assumptions blur, emotional subtext becomes louder, and clarity must be chosen deliberately rather than assumed.
The most effective way to work with this transit is refinement, not retreat. Revisit conversations. Reassess agreements. Clarify emotional undercurrents before committing to long-term moves. With the Virgo Lunar Eclipse approaching, adjustments made now prevent unnecessary complications later. This is a strategic pause that protects future progress.
