Horoscopes Today: Horoscope for Wednesday, February 25, 2026
These horoscopes for Wednesday, February 25, 2026 note that Mercury goes retrograde beginning today and will run until March 21, 2026, triggering unusual dreams, resurfacing people from the past, and a mix of delays and finishing opportunities across work, money and relationships.
Horoscopes: Immediate timing and caution
A narrow evening window matters: avoid shopping (except food and gas) or major decisions after 4: 30 p. m. ET to 11: 30 p. m. ET. After that span, the moon moves from Gemini into Cancer, shifting the emotional tone. The retrograde of Mercury begins today and continues through March 21, 2026, a run that the day’s guidance treats as an active month-long influence.
Mercury retrograde: dreams, therapy and the past
Mercury retrograde is expected to trigger unusual dreams, especially dreams from your past, and may bring intuitive flashbacks and secrets you once "hid from yourself" back into awareness. This period is described as an excellent time for therapy and counseling sessions, and for studying the past or researching history. Expect old friends, groups and relationships to resurface in person, online or in dreams during the month-long retrograde window.
horoscopes: relationships, work and creative wrap-ups
Across partnership and career sectors the retrograde shows a mixed pattern. Opposite your sign, the transit may bring ex-partners, ex-spouses and old friends back into view; it’s also a time to wrap up creative projects. At the top of the chart, Mercury retrograde can attract old job offers and contacts with former bosses and past clients — a moment to reconnect but to guard against miscommunications with authority figures. In the workplace, expect both goofy mistakes, delays and mixed-up communications as well as an unusual ease in finishing existing work.
Practical fallout: travel, money and home
Practical disruptions are highlighted: travel plans might be delayed or canceled, and transportation issues such as car problems or missed buses are possible over the next month. Financial matters may require delays or revisions — taxes, debts, loans and inheritances could see confusion — while the same window is presented as good for wrapping up details in those areas. Home life may change as relatives you haven’t seen in a while could show up and stay for a time; the month is framed as an opportunity to finish home projects and reallocate domestic energy.
Key takeaways: Mercury retrograde runs from Feb. 25 through Mar. 21, 2026; avoid big purchases or decisions after 4: 30 p. m. ET to 11: 30 p. m. ET; expect resurfacing people and memories, potential travel and transport delays, and an unusual combination of setbacks and chances to finish stalled work or paperwork.
