February will return unresolved stories: which retrograde planets will require a review of the past

February 2026 becomes a month of internal revision. The planets in retrograde motion seem to turn time back and push for a return to old decisions, feelings, and mistakes. This is a period when the Universe does not encourage haste but persistently demands an honest dialogue with oneself and the completion of what has long been postponed.

Retrograde Mercury

Active period: from February 25 to March 20, 2026

Retrograde Mercury is traditionally associated with pauses, delays, and a return to old topics. During this period, affairs may slow down, and difficulties may arise in communication, finances, and planning. The main task of this transit is not to chase results but to deal with unresolved issues. Everything that has been "stuck" before will require attention; otherwise, it will be difficult to return to the usual rhythm.

Retrograde Jupiter

Active period: from November 11, 2025, to March 11, 2026

Jupiter in retrograde often exacerbates conflicts and misunderstandings. Disputes may arise at work, in the family, and in personal relationships. However, its true purpose is to teach honesty with oneself and others. This period helps to reassess values, set priorities, and understand where you are deviating from your true path.

Retrograde Uranus

Active period: from September 6, 2025, to February 4, 2026

Although retrograde Uranus formally completes its motion in early February, its influence will still be felt until about the middle of the month. This time is associated with liberation from old patterns of thinking and behavior. Uranus pushes for awareness of one's life purpose and the need for change. Letting go of outdated beliefs will be an important step towards further development.

Retrograde Mars

Active period: from November 13, 2025, to March 12, 2026

Mars in retrograde can significantly slow down processes, especially in the realm of personal relationships and inner motivation. There may be a sense of stagnation or emotional pause. If strong feelings or a sense of a "broken heart" arise during this period, it is a signal to work on oneself. Until old emotional blocks are processed and inner support is restored, moving forward will be difficult.

February 2026 is a time not for sharp leaps but for a conscious look into the past. Closed gestalts and an honest conversation with oneself will become the foundation for future changes.
