Your Weekly Horoscopes: February 22-28, 2026

This week begins with a pleasant experience that takes you out of your everyday routine. You’re learning to create your own peace. You’re learning to make space for yourself, even when you’re at your busiest. Even when your house is crowded. Then on the 26th, Mercury stations retrograde, and you get caught up in some mind games. When you find yourself stuck in a loop, pause and consider whether what you’re worried about is even in your control.

This week’s mantra: “Untie”

A cozy hang with close friends or coworkers is the perfect way to start the week. Less than a year ago, you were feeling like you had no friends, and look at you now! Then on the 26th, Mercury stations retrograde, and you’re about to spend the next few weeks making adjustments at work so that your daily tasks better suit your long-term vision. Who are your allies in your current endeavors?

This week’s mantra: “Connect”

The beginning of this week brings great news for your career and finances. The seeds you planted back in June are starting to sprout, and your paycheck is matching your efforts. Finally. Then, on the 26th, Mercury stations retrograde, and you’re haphazardly thrown into the spotlight at work. Maybe your boss is on vacation and you’re picking up extra responsibilities. Whatever’s going on, use the next few weeks to put your voice out there as a leader.

This week’s mantra: “Rise”

The week begins with an exciting opportunity for travel or study that will help you feel more like yourself. Since June, you’ve been going through growing pains, and now you’re starting to understand what it was all for. On the 26th, Mercury stations retrograde and your best laid plans—especially around travel—are interrupted. Rescheduling doesn’t mean the dream is over, just delayed.

This week’s mantra: “Pace”

The week begins on a bittersweet note for you, Leo. You experienced a big loss last year, and you’re adjusting to what life is like on the other side. Beyond all the grief, you’re finally healing. When Mercury stations retrograde on the 26th, you’re in for a few weeks of intense conversation and money negotiations. An offer you thought was no longer an option may also be back on the table.

This week’s mantra: “Accept”

As the week begins, you’re feeling fulfilled in your community and closest relationships. A project you initiated back in June is starting to gain traction and recognition. Then on the 26th, Mercury stations retrograde in your partnership sector, and you have to spend the next few weeks reviewing the terms of a longstanding contract.

This week brings a much-needed improvement in your work and professional life as seeds you planted back in June are starting to sprout.

Sometimes it’s less about what you’re doing, and more about how you’re doing it.

This week’s mantra: “Adjust”

Plans are coming together for a vacation with your lover or a class you’re teaching with a friend. The inspiration that hit back in June is finally finding its shape. Mercury stations retrograde on the 26th, and a lover from the past may return to your life. Or maybe you’re ready to get back into an old creative hobby. Let go of expectations and pay attention to the process.

This week’s mantra: “Grow”

The investments you’ve made in your home and family life since June are finally starting to feel like growth. You’ve sacrificed a lot to build a better world for the people you love, and you’ve made it look easy! Take some time to celebrate that this week. Then, Mercury stations retrograde on the 26th, bringing some chaos and miscommunication into the mix. If you’re playing phone tag with your parents, see if the conversation can wait until next week.

This week’s mantra: “Base”

This is a week for celebrating your partnerships, friendships and close relationships of all kinds. You may also be experiencing major growth in a project that you committed to last June. Mercury stations retrograde from the 26th until March 20th, and for you, this is going to be about lots of confusing emails and missed appointments. Instead of getting frustrated about lost time, pause and enjoy what’s right in front of you.

This week’s mantra: “Nurture”

This week brings promising news on the career and money front. A big move you wanted to make last June is finally taking shape.
