ICYMI: Mercury retrograde is back, lasting from Feb. 26 to March 20, 2026. Mercury retrograde is an astrological event that occurs a few times each year when the planet Mercury appears to move backward in the sky (though it’s actually just an optical illusion caused by the differences in Earth’s and Mercury’s orbits).
In astrology, Mercury is thought to rule communication, travel, and technology, so when things are in reverse, issues in those sectors can arise. This is why the astrological transit has gotten a bad rap over the years, but Mikaela MacLean, master aesthetician, Human Design Guide, and director of intuitive skin science at Lilfox Beauty, says it’s actually a time to embrace. “I like to think of Mercury retrograde as a conscious recalibration,” she says. “From a luxury-beauty-meets-cosmic-wellness perspective, this is an invitation to slow down, refine, and return to the rituals that reconnect you to yourself.”
