Weekly General Astrology Forecast 23 February – March 1 2026

Synchronicity is how the universe communicates

Fate has your back – so ditch the rush

Destiny realigns us to our path

Although we are seeing massive planetary changes occur in the sky, the universe is reassuring us that there is no rush when it comes to integrating these. We have time to adjust, realign our souls and align with our True North.

Mercury retrograde in Pisces (from the 26^th), is an invitation to take time aligning your inner compass in the wake of last week’s eclipse and meeting between Saturn and Neptune in Aries. To reclaim our truths. And to prepare to move forward only after we have re-examined the past in light of how we now see the world. And who we now know ourselves to be.

The usual retro rules apply. We are still in eclipse weather as we are headed towards a second eclipse with the upcoming full Moon in Virgo. So, slow down, pause and do heed those nudges from your subconscious. Look out for signs and synchronicities. Pay attention to those dreams. And know that when you are done with this process, a more authentic and deeply fulfilling version of you will emerge, ready to meet the future once Mercury is direct once more.

We may begin to see what the eclipse and last week’s Saturn/Neptune engagement has shaken loose this week. An up-swell or desire for radical change around existing systems or beliefs which no longer serve us collectively as Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus (27^th). This could also bring about a sudden clash between two different sets of values or beliefs. Or the old order resisting the need to change. On a personal level we’re all asked to reach for tolerance and take an open-minded approach. To look for the bigger picture. But also to acknowledge areas where the ‘way things were’ is no longer working. And to embrace the need to change them.

The Sun meets the North Node in Pisces (27^th) and something comes full circle. Are we in a rinse and repeat cycle or willing to step free of it? We can choose the higher path if we have learned from our past. But until we do, we are destined to repeat it. Then there’s the Way Things Should Have Been. That’s very different to The Way We Were.

Retro Mercury’s meeting with Venus in Pisces (28^th), activates the Field of Dreams when it comes to our destiny. There’s a theory that the universe, fate, karma or whatever you prefer to call it, is always trying to course correct for us if life or circumstances beyond our control, cause us to drift off ours.

This is where the Nodes come in. As well as retrograde which allow us to backtrack or revisit the past with a fresh perspective. The path not taken, the one you feel you were destined for, or the ‘What if?’ question around it, may be clarified now. Courtesy of either closure or that true path reopening up. Even if it looks slightly different. Yes, there is a plan for all of us. This is Quantum Consciousness, The Field or The Force at work. Again, it doesn’t matter what you choose to call it. But this week shows us we are all part of it. The fact we are tells us – no hurry. Simply be part of the Great Unfolding.

In a nutshell: Mercury retrograde asks all of us to slow down, reset and realign when it comes to our path. And our beliefs. The Universe is a self-correcting system. Destiny always places our feet back on the path we were always meant to take. Synchronicity is your sign-post you’re headed in the right direction.
