Aquarius week horoscope February 23—1, 2026

Aquarius, this week opens with a reality check—financial, practical, and ultimately empowering. From February 23 through March 1, 2026, the spotlight turns to what you earn, what you spend, and what truly sustains you. On Thursday, February 26, Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, activating your second house of income, assets, and personal values. Through March 20, money demands honesty.

This is your cue to review everything. Subscriptions you forgot about. Small recurring expenses. Income streams that need updating. Retrograde Mercury here isn’t about deprivation—it’s about awareness. Revisit your budget. Refine your strategy. If you’ve been operating on assumptions, replace them with numbers. Clarity is stabilizing.

You can absolutely dream about the next beautiful purchase, the trip, the upgrade. In fact, defining those desires sharpens your motivation. But this is the planning phase, not the spending spree. Impulse buys under a Mercury retrograde have a way of losing their charm quickly. Instead, experiment with pleasure that doesn’t destabilize your foundation. Simplicity now can feel surprisingly luxurious. Stability isn’t the opposite of freedom—it’s what makes freedom sustainable.

Work dynamics may also require discretion. Miscommunication, subtle office politics, or attempts to draw you into someone else’s conflict are possible. Stay neutral where you can. If someone oversteps or claims credit that belongs to you, respond strategically, not emotionally. Address the matter directly with decision-makers rather than escalating sideways. Retrogrades test maturity. How you handle tension now influences your professional standing later.

Horoscope for the week February 23—1, 2026

>>

Friday shifts the energy inward. Mars in your sign and first house forms a tense aspect to Uranus in your fourth house of home and family. Internal pressure that you’ve been containing could suddenly surface. A minor domestic issue might trigger a disproportionate reaction. Or you may struggle to determine whether someone is actually provoking you—or whether you’re simply running on a short fuse.

Before responding, step back. Ask what’s truly being activated. Is it exhaustion? A need for autonomy? A desire for recognition at home? This aspect is less about the argument and more about the underlying imbalance.

This week is about resource management on every level—financial, energetic, emotional. The steadier you become with what you have, the more confidently you move forward. Grounded doesn’t mean restricted. It means powerful in a way that lasts.
