Scorpio week horoscope February 23—1, 2026

Scorpio, empathy is your superpower—but this week, it needs structure. From February 23 through March 1, 2026, emotion alone isn’t enough. On Thursday, February 26, Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, activating your fifth house of romance, pleasure, creativity, and visibility. Through March 20, love feels cinematic—beautifully lit, emotionally charged, and slightly unreliable around the edges.

Someone from the past could resurface, and not casually. A message. A memory. A carefully worded invitation that feels almost scripted. You may recognize the storyline instantly because, if you’re honest, you’ve replayed it in your own imagination before. The chemistry is real. The nostalgia is persuasive. But Mercury retrograde has a talent for softening history and polishing flaws. If a relationship once fractured, ask yourself what truly caused it. Has the substance changed—or just the presentation?

Think of this as a maturity test, not a romantic accident. Your time, attention, and emotional intensity are valuable assets. Reinvesting them requires more than sparks. It requires evidence.

If no former flame appears, you may meet someone new who feels strangely familiar. The pull could be immediate, almost fated. But intensity doesn’t always equal longevity. Consider giving space to the person who shows up consistently, even if they don’t ignite fireworks on day one. Stability can be seductive in its own quiet way.

Horoscope for the week February 23—1, 2026

>>

In existing relationships, tension may rise—not because love is absent, but because honesty has been delayed. If there’s a conversation you’ve postponed to preserve the mood, this retrograde may bring it back to the surface. Temporary discomfort can build stronger intimacy than curated harmony ever could.

Friday shifts focus to your foundation. Mars in your fourth house of home and family forms a tense aspect to Uranus in your partnership sector. The push-pull between closeness and independence becomes pronounced. If unspoken frustrations have been accumulating under your roof, this could be the moment they surface. Reactivity is tempting. So is control.

But before unleashing the full force of your will, ask what’s underneath the irritation. Is it about space? Recognition? Emotional safety? The deeper answer matters more than the immediate reaction.

This week challenges you to balance passion with strategy. Drama is easy. Discernment is powerful. Choose awareness over impulse, and you won’t just avoid unnecessary damage—you’ll strengthen the bonds that truly deserve your loyalty.
