Astrologer Julie Simmons writes about THIS Mercury Retrograde... February 26 – March 20th 2026
Shadow in: February 5th Shadow out: April 9th.
That’s a big question. A rather large ask. Still, somewhere in the drawers or cabinets of our minds we have an idea of what the Age of Pisces was about. While Mercury is retrograde in Pisces we might find ourselves ruminating about our past. Our time would be better spent considering the collective past over the last 2000 years or even just since you were born. How has the world changed? What does the word ‘evolution’ mean to you? How does it feel to be carried along the tides and turns of a world you most definitely didn’t create? These are Pisces questions. They don’t necessarily have answers. In fact, they often give rise to more questions.
For our personal considerations, this retrograde will conjunct Venus, only once at the beginning, trine Jupiter, and conjunct the North Node, all aspects of hope and possibility. The effort of looking back and considering is meant to increase our connection to the soul, to help us grow in faith rather than belief. Which is to say, not the blind kind, more the felt kind. The faith we have when we smell spring coming around the bend, when we watch little ones take their first steps or learn to talk. Faith in the power and desire of life itself to rise up and become what it needs to, so it can keep on keeping on.
The essence of any Mercury retrograde is when it conjuncts the Sun (March 7th). That is when the winged messenger (Mercury) offers messages to us to use or ponder as we turn to the second half of the retrograde journey. What form of meditation will you use to still yourself and listen for such a message?
Warm regards,

Mercury Retrograde, made easier
Starting February 26, Mercury appears to move backward—often bringing mix‑ups with messages, schedules, and agreements. If you write, broadcast, build for the web, publish, or practice law, you may feel it more. It’s not a curse; it’s a cue to slow down, clarify, and realign.
What tends to happen
During retrograde, details get slippery. We mishear, misread, and miss appointments. That’s why people advise waiting on big commitments. But life doesn’t pause—contracts still get signed, homes bought, celebrations planned. The invitation is to work with this energy so you move through it with more ease, insight, and even humor.
How this group session helps
Astrologer Julie Simmons and Life Repatterning coach Carolyn Winter combine clear astrological timing with practical energy work. Julie frames what this specific retrograde is asking of us—where to be careful, and where to lean in. Carolyn leads a live group Life Repatterning to shift patterns of frustration and miscommunication into clarity, calm, and better outcomes.
You’ll leave with:
• a grounded understanding of the retrograde themes at play
• a reset in your personal “signal” so conversations, decisions, and details land cleanly
• simple practices to navigate contracts, launches, and life logistics without drama
About the method
Life Repatterning works well at a distance and in groups. We identify the energetic patterns that keep you stuck, then flip them so you resonate with what you want—clear communication, timely decisions, and a steadier pace. In a group field, change is amplified; you benefit personally while contributing to a collective shift.
