Hold onto your hats! It's happening again! 🙃 Mercury Retrograde will begin once again on February 26, 2026, and end on March 20, 2026. These periods of the year are thought to significantly influence your mood and actions 💫

The planet Mercury rules communication in all forms—listening, writing, reading, speaking, and so on—as well as activities closely related to communication, like negotiations and contracts. It also rules travel, automobiles, shipping, and mail.

So, when Mercury is retrograde, things in those areas may feel off. This doesn’t mean disaster is guaranteed—but it’s wise to proceed with extra care.

Some blame Mercury retrograde for all the chaos that happens in their lives. However, this is a good time to sit back and review what you put your energy toward. Read more retrograde astrology at Almanac.com/mercury-retrograde 💫

Nattokinase

Nattokinase (NK), a fermented soybean product called Natto, has been a traditional food in Japan for thousands of years. Researchers from Japan, Korea, and China have extensively studied the enzyme bacterium (Bacillus subtilis) from NK because it is a potent blood-clot-dissolving protein with cardiovascular benefits. Recently, Western medicine has recognized NK's fibrinolytic (anti-clotting) capacity.

Weng et al. (2017) indicate that Nattokinase (NK) exhibits exceptionally potent fibrinolytic activity (meaning it can dissolve blood clots) in various animal and human trials. The results demonstrate that NK improves blood circulation and helps decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases without producing any adverse side effects.

A study by Hulscher et al. (2023) has shown that Japan's traditional use of Nattokinase (NK) cardiovascular benefits and its direct fibrinolytic activity makes NK a vital tool for dissolved spike protein-induced blood clots, as they may contain fibrin resistant to fibrinolysis. The Hulscher et al. (2023) study also states that NK has a potent degrading effect on the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.

Nattokinase (NK) is sold as a dietary supplement in powder and vegetable-based capsules in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Generally, NK seems safe in adults when taken by mouth at 100 mg (2,000 fibrinolytic units) daily. However, some individuals may experience digestive issues such as bloating and gas. The best time to take NK is after dinner or before sleep. Research suggests that taking NK daily for 8 weeks could reduce blood pressure in individuals with high blood pressure.

Contraindications

Nattokinase is produced from fermented soybeans, so it should be avoided if you are allergic to soy. This supplement acts like a blood thinner; therefore, it may interact with blood thinners and other drugs that reduce clotting, like aspirin and ibuprofen. Use with caution. Surgery: Nattokinase might increase the chance of bleeding during or after surgery. It might also make blood pressure difficult to control during surgery.

Note: Before starting a holistic protocol to support a health condition, please always consult a physician.

Rose Essential Oil

Roses are from the rosa species belonging to the Rosaceae family and originate from Aisa; however, they are now cultivated worldwide. Roses are among the most popular and widely used medicinal plants globally. The most critical components of rose oil are terpenes, glycosides, flavonoids, and anthocyanins.

Rose essential oil is semisolid, pale yellow, and expensive. Bulgaria, Turkey, and Morocco are the central-producing countries of this oil. However, Bulgarian rose oil is the most valuable because of its unique, rich chemical composition and deep multi-layered fragrance.

Human studies have investigated different therapeutic properties of rose essential oil. Most studies administered the oil via inhalation or topically to evaluate its analgesic and relaxation effects. The most important clinical properties of rose essential oil reported were anti-depressants, psychological relaxation, improving sexual dysfunction, and anti-anxiety effects [1].

In Persian medicine, rose oil has been alleged to have anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and wound-healing activities and has been used for relieving headaches, hemorrhoids, inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, and muscular pain [1].

Please note, always mix rose essential oil with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin, and a skin patch test is advised to eliminate a reaction because this oil has been known to cause allergic reactions in some people, especially those with sensitive skin or asthma. Symptoms include rash, itching, swelling, breathing difficulties, or anaphylaxis. Also, it can interact with some medications, such as anti-depressants, anticoagulants, or blood pressure drugs. If you have any doubt, please seek the advice of a healthcare provider or a trained aromatherapist before using rose essential oil for its medicinal properties.

Today, the 17th of February 2026, welcomes the year of the fire horse. Hence, the Chinese zodiac, each year cycles through 12 animal signs and five elemental qualities—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—resulting in a 60-year cycle before the exact combination of Fire and Horse returns. Therefore, this means the Fire Horse appears only once every six decades, making it a rare and potent arrival.

With the horse, ignited with yang fire brings boldness and speed, which makes this year favourable for fast-paced action, courage, and taking calculated risks to break old patterns.
