From 25 February to 20 March 2026, Mercury goes retrograde in Aquarius. Mercury is the planet of communication, and in retrograde it appears to move backwards. Appears, because in reality it is only an optical effect.
It is, then, a moment to stop for a second and ask yourself: what do I really want? Relationships, projects, decisions… everything you thought was closed or behind you can come back into your life. Mercury retrograde is not a punishment, it is a chance to look inward and to decide honestly what deserves your energy.
Love and Mercury retrograde
Until 3 March, Mercury's closeness to Venus can bring intense emotions: deep conversations, reflections on what you want and, yes, exes or old connections showing up on your radar again. It is no coincidence: it is a chance to close cycles or to rethink what you truly want in love.
Although all of us on Earth feel the influence of Mercury retrograde, there are a few signs of the zodiac that will feel it more strongly:
AquariusAquarius benefits most. March will be a month of many changes. You will find yourself asking: “What do I want to create this year? Which relationships genuinely add something?” Some people or relationships from the past may reappear. It is a moment to think before rekindling anything. Listen to your intuition — it knows what is worth it.
GeminiBright ideas and unexpected opportunities turn up. Projects or people from the past may come back into your life. Take your time before making important decisions, and check contracts and messages before you commit.
TaurusThis is a period of changes and surprises. What looked like a closed chapter may come back to you: exes, projects, unresolved feelings. That is a sign that something needs to change so you can move on with clarity. Let yourself feel it, and readjust whatever needs readjusting.
CapricornA deep transformation is coming, emotionally and financially. What seemed stable may ask for significant adjustments. Trust the process and make the changes you need in order to move forward clearly.
Pisces and CancerThis Mercury retrograde touches emotional sensitivity and the way you connect with others. The key is to stay flexible, to leave room for creativity and to reflect on the relationships that matter. What looks messy today can turn into something better if you let the energy flow.
This reading is based on the real position of the planets against the constellations, in real time. Every birth chart is unique and unrepeatable, so this interpretation is only a general approximation. The true impact of these energies can only be understood by looking at your own chart.
