The Week Ahead: Revising the Dream
After the tectonic shift of last week’s Saturn/Neptune conjunction at the Creation Point, 0° Aries, this week feels quieter on the surface. The sky exhales. The big doorway has opened. Now we look around and ask what we are actually standing in.
February 22 brings a soft, generous current as Venus in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer. Compassion expands. Emotional intelligence rises. Love feels more protective, more nourishing. It also happens to be George Washington’s Birthday — a reminder that every nation begins with an experiment in vision and governance. As we perch on the edge of a new era in our own collective story, it is worth asking: how do we carry ideals forward without calcifying them? What does stewardship look like when history is still being written?
Midweek, the tone shifts inward. On February 25, Mercury stations retrograde at 22°33′ Pisces, a deeply symbolic degree. The Sabian image for 23° Pisces speaks of spiritist phenomena — unseen realities becoming visible — or a jewelry shop filled with magnificent jewels, symbolizing inner spiritual wealth and cultural treasures. Either way, this degree asks for discernment. What appears mystical may be meaningful. What appears valuable may require closer inspection. Mercury will remain retrograde until March 20, retracing emotional narratives, intuitive insights, dreams, and unfinished conversations.
This is less about external disruption and more about internal revision.
Then on February 27, energy spikes again. Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, stirring unpredictability, impatience, and the urge to act suddenly. At the same time, retrograde Mercury conjuncts Venus in Pisces, blending tenderness with nostalgia. Old loves, old ideas, old creative threads may resurface, asking for integration rather than repetition.
This week is not as packed as the launch of 2026, but it is meaningful. The fire has been lit. Now we refine what it illuminates.
IRL Tip: Pause before reacting. Let insight settle before acting on it.
Self-care: Water, journaling, music, and fewer immediate decisions.
Kind Deed: Offer patience to someone revisiting something they thought was finished.

I hope this clarifies your questions. Merryman
Aries (March 21-April 19) Weekly Horoscope: for Aries & Aries Rising
Your IRL Week:
This is a quieter week for you externally, though internally it may feel surprisingly active. With the Sun moving through your 12th house, energy turns inward. Mercury stationing retrograde in Pisces in this same part of your chart stirs the subconscious. Dreams become vivid. Old emotional threads reappear. You may notice memories surfacing that feel oddly present, as if your psyche is cleaning out a back closet you forgot existed.
This is less about confrontation and more about integration. The Mars/Uranus square activates your 11th and 2nd houses, which could create tension between friendships and finances, or between long-term goals and immediate needs. You may feel a sudden urge to withdraw from a group dynamic that no longer feels aligned, especially if you sense your energy has been stretched thin.
Venus conjunct retrograde Mercury softens this process. Something from the past may resurface with tenderness: an old creative idea, a former love, or a memory that now feels different because you are different. You are closing a cycle quietly before stepping into something new.
IRL Tip: Let reflection precede action.
Self-Care: Sleep, journaling, and solitude without guilt.
Kind Deed: Offer compassion to someone revisiting an old wound.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Taurus & Taurus Rising
Your IRL Week:
Friendships, networks, and future plans occupy your attention this week. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces activating your 11th house, you may reconnect with old friends or reconsider long-term visions you once shelved. A dream that seemed unrealistic months ago may now feel worth revisiting with maturity and discernment.
The Mars/Uranus square lands strongly for you, since Uranus is still moving through your sign. Restlessness may show up in the body. You may crave change in your identity, appearance, or lifestyle, though acting impulsively could create unnecessary disruption. This is about recalibration, not rebellion.
Venus conjunct Mercury brings warmth to social exchanges. Conversations can feel nostalgic or emotionally layered. You may find yourself revisiting shared memories and recognizing how much you’ve grown.
IRL Tip: Let change be deliberate rather than reactive.
Self-Care: Body grounding, steady meals, and reduced stimulation.
Kind Deed: Check in on a friend who feels disconnected.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Gemini & Gemini Rising
Your IRL Week:
Career, reputation, and public direction are in flux. Mercury retrograde in Pisces activates your 10th house, inviting you to revisit professional plans, long-term ambitions, or conversations with authority figures. Clarity may feel foggy at moments, though insight deepens when you slow down and listen between the lines.
The Mars/Uranus square can stir tension behind the scenes. You may feel pressure building internally, especially if you’ve been suppressing frustration about work dynamics or recognition. Acting impulsively could escalate things quickly, so intentional pacing becomes essential.
Venus conjunct Mercury adds grace to professional exchanges. A compassionate conversation may repair something that once felt strained. This is a week for refining rather than launching.
IRL Tip: Clarify before committing publicly.
Self-Care: Structured days with quiet breaks.
Kind Deed: Offer acknowledgment to someone whose work goes unseen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Cancer & Cancer Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week stretches your emotional world outward. With the Sun in Pisces activating your 9th house, you are thinking about meaning, belief, and the larger story of your life. Mercury stationing retrograde here brings revision to long-term plans, travel ideas, educational paths, or even your spiritual framework. Something you once believed wholeheartedly may now feel incomplete, not wrong, just ready for refinement.
You may find yourself rereading an old book, revisiting a teaching, or reconsidering advice you once dismissed. Conversations about politics, faith, or cultural direction could feel tender. With George Washington’s Birthday early in the week and the Fire Horse New Year underway, themes of legacy, stewardship, and direction may land personally. What are you inheriting? What are you reshaping?
The Mars/Uranus square can stir tension in friendships or community involvement. You may feel protective of your emotional space and less patient with group noise. Acting impulsively in response to frustration could create ripples, so grounding yourself before speaking becomes powerful medicine.
Meanwhile, Venus conjunct retrograde Mercury softens philosophical differences. A heartfelt conversation about purpose or belief may leave you feeling steadier rather than divided.
IRL Tip: Let perspective evolve without forcing a final answer.
Self-Care: Water, quiet study, reflective journaling.
Kind Deed: Offer understanding when someone’s beliefs are shifting.

Leo (July 23-August 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Leo & Leo Rising
Your IRL Week:
This is an intimate, psychologically rich week for you. The Sun in Pisces activates your 8th house, stirring shared resources, emotional entanglements, debts, inheritances, and power dynamics. Mercury retrograde here asks you to revisit agreements, spoken and unspoken. This can involve financial discussions, emotional boundaries, or patterns of vulnerability.
You may notice where you have been giving more than you receive, or where trust feels layered rather than simple. The jewelry-shop Sabian image is fitting for you: beneath surface confusion, there are hidden treasures. There is wealth in the emotional honesty that arises now, even if it feels uncomfortable.
The Mars/Uranus square could activate tension between career direction and personal autonomy. A sudden professional irritation may reveal where you crave more independence. Responding with composure rather than pride preserves long-term leverage.
Venus conjunct retrograde Mercury can bring a resurfacing of past intimacy or old emotional threads. You may reconnect with someone, or simply reconnect with a part of yourself that once felt too exposed.
IRL Tip: Choose transparency over assumption.
Self-Care: Emotional grounding, baths, journaling, financial review.
Kind Deed: Offer reassurance to someone navigating vulnerability.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Virgo & Virgo Rising
Your IRL Week:
Relationships sit squarely in the spotlight this week. The Sun in Pisces activates your 7th house of partnership, while Mercury retrograde here invites reflection on relational patterns. You may revisit conversations with a partner, client, or close friend that once felt unfinished. Old themes around communication, compromise, and mutual effort could resurface for review.
This is not about dissecting every dynamic, though your analytical mind may want to. It is about noticing how you respond. Where do you over-explain? Where do you withdraw? Where do you try to fix rather than feel? The Mercury–Venus conjunction softens exchanges, offering opportunities for reconnection and gentle repair.
The Mars/Uranus square may activate restlessness around daily work or travel plans. A sudden change in schedule could disrupt your routine, though it may also reveal where flexibility is needed.
The deeper invitation here is balance. Saturn–Neptune’s larger era shift continues to reshape how you define responsibility within partnership. This week simply gives you a preview of what requires recalibration.
IRL Tip: Clarify expectations before reacting emotionally.
Self-Care: Calm communication, light exercise, and gentle order.
Kind Deed: Validate someone’s effort without immediately suggesting improvements.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Weekly Horoscope: for Libra & Libra Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week brings your attention to the small mechanics of life: work rhythms, health patterns, and the invisible agreements you keep with your body. With the Sun in Pisces moving through your 6th house, you may feel more sensitive to overstimulation, unclear expectations, or environments that drain rather than nourish you. Mercury stationing retrograde here invites revision rather than expansion.
Something in your daily structure needs recalibration. A workflow that once felt efficient may now feel chaotic. A health habit you meant to commit to may be asking for compassion instead of discipline. The Sabian image of spiritual treasures feels practical here: there is value in how you care for yourself behind the scenes.
The Mars/Uranus square can stir tension between shared resources and daily demands. You may feel impatient if someone else’s unpredictability disrupts your schedule. Reacting quickly could escalate, so grounding before responding keeps the balance intact.
Venus conjunct retrograde Mercury softens tone with coworkers or clients. An apology, clarification, or reconnection may bring unexpected relief.
IRL Tip: Edit your schedule before adding anything new.
Self-Care: Nervous system care, warm meals, fewer digital inputs.
Kind Deed: Help someone simplify rather than complicate their day.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) Weekly Horoscope: for Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week brings creativity, romance, and pleasure into focus, though in a reflective rather than dramatic way. Mercury retrograde in Pisces moves through your 5th house, stirring old creative ideas, past lovers, or unfinished artistic threads. Something that once felt abandoned may now feel ripe for refinement.
You may revisit a passion project with new maturity. Or you may recognize that a romantic dynamic from the past taught you something valuable that is now ready to be integrated rather than repeated.
The Mars/Uranus square lands across your partnership axis. A sudden disagreement or unexpected shift in someone else’s behavior could feel destabilizing. The Fire Horse energy tempts fast reaction, though your strength lies in measured intensity. Observe first. Respond second.
Venus conjunct Mercury creates tenderness in romantic exchanges. A reconnection could feel nostalgic and meaningful, though clarity will arrive gradually rather than immediately.
IRL Tip: Revise before reinventing.
Self-Care: Creative play without pressure.
Kind Deed: Encourage someone’s artistic courage.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Weekly Horoscope: for Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week turns your attention inward toward home, roots, and emotional foundation. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces activating your 4th house, family conversations or domestic matters may resurface for review. You may revisit an old memory, a childhood pattern, or an unspoken dynamic that still influences your present.
The Fire Horse energy resonates with you naturally, yet this week asks for grounded momentum rather than outward expansion. The Sabian symbol speaks to unseen value — and for you that value lives in emotional honesty. There is treasure in the conversations that feel awkward but necessary.
The Mars/Uranus square may shake up work routines or daily logistics. A sudden change in schedule could irritate you, especially if you crave autonomy. Flexibility becomes a quiet superpower.
Venus conjunct Mercury brings softness to family exchanges. An old tension may ease through a simple, sincere conversation.

Self-Care: Domestic comfort, quiet reflection, grounding meals.
Kind Deed: Offer reassurance to someone who feels uncertain at home.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Weekly Horoscope: for Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week sharpens your mind and softens your tone at the same time. With the Sun in Pisces activating your 3rd house of communication, logistics, siblings, contracts, and daily conversations, you are revisiting how you say what you say. Mercury stations retrograde here midweek, and words carry memory.
You may reread old emails, revisit an agreement, or reconnect with someone from your immediate circle. A message you thought was clear may reveal nuance. A conversation you avoided may circle back around, gently asking for refinement.
The Sabian image of spiritual treasures speaks to the value of nuance. Beneath confusion there is meaning. Beneath miscommunication there is usually unmet feeling.
The Mars/Uranus square may bring tension between finances and personal desires. A sudden expense or unexpected shift in priorities could irritate you. The Fire Horse energy tempts quick reaction, though your power lies in strategy.
Venus conjunct retrograde Mercury offers relational grace. A small apology or clarification restores more stability than force ever could.
IRL Tip: Choose precision over speed in communication.
Self-Care: Walks, journaling, fewer reactive exchanges.
Kind Deed: Offer clarity when someone feels misunderstood.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Weekly Horoscope: for Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Your IRL Week:
This week grounds you in questions of value. With the Sun in Pisces illuminating your 2nd house of resources, income, and self-worth, Mercury retrograde invites reflection around how you price yourself both financially and emotionally.
You may revisit a budget, renegotiate a contract, or reconsider how much energy you give without reciprocal support. The Sabian symbol fits beautifully here: there are jewels you already possess that you may have overlooked.
The Mars–Uranus square activates your home and identity axis. A sudden shift in domestic matters or personal direction could feel destabilizing. Fire Horse energy wants bold movement; Pisces wisdom suggests steady footing first.
Venus conjunct Mercury softens conversations about money or value. An honest exchange about expectations can bring relief and clarity.
IRL Tip: Align resources with long-term sustainability.
Self-Care: Financial clarity and bodily grounding.
Kind Deed: Support someone who is rebuilding confidence.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) Weekly Horoscope: for Pisces & Pisces Rising
Your IRL Week:
The spotlight rests on you. With the Sun in your sign and Mercury stationing retrograde here, identity becomes fluid and reflective. You may feel as though you are shedding an old skin and reassessing who you are becoming.
This is not chaotic; it is clarifying. The Sabian symbol speaks to inner wealth or rather your intuitive intelligence, your emotional perception, your quiet authority. The retrograde simply asks you to trust the deeper current rather than external validation.
The Mars/Uranus square activates your communication axis. Words may feel sharp or surprising. Pause before reacting, especially in fast exchanges.
Venus conjunct Mercury brings softness and creativity into self-expression. A conversation, a poem, or a candid reflection could open a new sense of self-acceptance.
IRL Tip: Let your identity evolve without forcing definition.
Self-Care: Rest, water, creative reflection.
