Retrograde Mercury returns: Astrologer outlines key taboos of the week

February 23

"The Eclipse Corridor is active. Due to the shadow period of retrograde Mercury (from February 19 to 26), do not plan important negotiations, signing new contracts, purchasing equipment, essential business trips, exams, large payments, or resolving disputes with neighbors," the astrologer reminded.

Soloviova added that this day is also unsuitable for starting new projects or making major decisions, undergoing surgery or dental procedures, or visiting a hairdresser.

One should be especially cautious because deception and fraud are possible. Words carry maximum power at this time, meaning that everything said can manifest in real life.

"Due to the overall energy of the day, do not start new activities related to beginning a new job, purchasing or repairing a car or household appliances, traveling long distances, working overtime, or using weapons for the first time," the expert warned.

This day marks a stressful Moon phase change. The planetary energy can negatively affect people, so it is a good time to summarize results and determine future directions. You can organize your home and entertain guests.

"On February 24, we reach the midpoint of the Eclipse Corridor. This is a period of growing unpredictability, chaos, and confusion in all areas of life. Even seemingly ordinary situations may unfold in completely unexpected ways. Nothing can be predicted or planned with certainty," explained the astrologer.

"Now fate may give an unexpected gift, the full significance of which will be felt later. Do not overestimate your abilities and do not succumb to temptations or provocations. This point of complete calm affects three days before and three days after its exact moment," she added.

Special caution is advised for people born during these periods in any year:

• February 21–27;

• May 24–30;

• August 26–September 1;

• November 25–December 1;

"It is better not to plan important negotiations, sign new contracts, buy equipment, undertake essential trips, take exams, make important payments, or resolve disputes with neighbors," Soloviova said.

Be attentive to the information you receive. Focus on completing current tasks and performing routine work. During this period, we receive what we deserve.

February 26

Mercury becomes retrograde, lasting until March 20

"During Mercury retrograde, it is effective to return to previous projects, resume communication with old acquaintances, search for lost items, regain clients, analyze situations, collect necessary information, and study or research various circumstances," the expert explained.

After 11:09 AM (Kyiv time), life energy may start to surge. Direct it toward strengthening family relationships and improving your home.

February 27

"Due to the overall energy of the day, it is better not to start new activities related to major financial transactions, marriage registration, new acquaintances, business registration, expensive purchases, loans, updating your personal image or apartment design, new cosmetic or plastic procedures, or unfamiliar food," the astrologer emphasized.

After 12:26 PM, one of the most energetically powerful periods begins. Vital energy awakens within the body, making it a favorable time for reconciliation and gift-giving. However, avoid romance.

February 28

"After 1:51 PM Kyiv time, the day is activated by the energy of love, clearing thoughts, and the triumph of wisdom over mind and emotions. This is a period for solitude, leniency, and altruism. Show mercy, compassion, give gifts, do charitable deeds, fulfill others’ requests, and approach people with understanding," Solovyova advised.

Summarize your results, avoid self-pity, and don't overburden your cardiovascular system. Women’s intuition is heightened during this period.

Do not argue with women, as this is said to violate cosmic laws.

"On February 28, the Moon, which governs our emotions, psyche, soul, subconscious, instincts, feelings, mood, sensitivity, and emotional variability, will be void of course from 6:21 AM to 10:17 AM. Ordinary activities may be disrupted, leading to incorrect choices, unproductive actions, confusion, inattention, and vain illusions," the astrologer warned.

March 1

This is an unfavorable period for new projects, major decisions, surgery, dental work, or hair appointments.

"After 3:16 PM Kyiv time, the energy of the day will help release the burden of the past and ease karmic debts. If you resolve old issues, new energy will emerge in your body. It is a day to gather information and coordinate the logical and creative hemispheres of the brain," says Soloviova.

"Do not fast; maintain discipline, return debts, resolve relationships, organize your work and home. Speak less," she concluded.
