Weekly Love Horoscopes Are Here For February 23 - March 1 — The Eclipse Portal Is Activated
Design: YourTango | Photo: View more by alessandrobiascioli, Canva Your zodiac sign's weekly love horoscope is here for February 23 - March 1, 2026. An eclipse portal is currently open as we're in between two eclipses. We are still in the energy of the powerful solar eclipse in Aquarius from February 17 and the next eclipse is a full moon lunar eclipse on March 3. This eclipse season is quite unpredictable.
The Aquarius eclipse squared Uranus, and on February 27, Mars squares Uranus, an unpredictable and volatile aspect that can lead to disruptive circumstances, arguments, and in extreme cases, breakups or endings. Mercury conjuncts Venus on the same day, which may give us some planetary help as this aspect is geared toward pleasantries and love.
Mercury is retrograde from February 25 until March 20. When it comes to love, Retrograde Mercury is a time to adjust your expectations. This is not the time to put the cart before the horse and start planning a future. Slow down and let time show you whether or not you're actually compatible with the person you are interested in. This is not the time to accept new commitments or jump to any conclusions about anyone new you have met. Retrograde Mercury is like a wild card and strongly associated with the past. Sometimes we can reconnect with people, but there is no guarantee.
Retrograde Mercury has seemingly fated effects, and can sometimes bring people back together who are meant to be. Sometimes it ends relationships that are not meant to last. If you are in a stable relationship, you should have nothing to worry about. Retrograde Mercury period is a time to reassess our lives and relationships. I would not advise joining new dating sites until it goes direct, and it's best to avoid getting engaged, married or making commitments you may later change over the next three weeks.
